Whats better, Straight Nose or Aquiline Nose?

Poll

What Do You Prefer?

What do you think looks better, a straight nose which I'm sure many people know what looks like or an aquiline nose. If you don't know, an aquiline nose is a nose with a large bridge and has a bend so it looks like its going one way then changes direction. I have an aquiline nose and I think it looks horrible I wish I had a straight nose. :frown:
Though this isn't about me instead I was wondering what people find more aesthetically pleasing because nose jobs are very popular and many people who have them want a straight nose so is a bumpy nose an unattractive feature in the 21st century?

Here's a picture of a aquiline nose incase your wondering. The hook shape of the noses can come in different shapes and angles.

Straight nose tbh, but really it doesn't matter much as long as the rest of the face suits it :p:

The Aquiline/Roman nose is the most masculine form. I have a straight, slight, quite 'petite' nose, I think it looks too feminine. As such for a man the Aquiline nose is, and always has been incidentally, the ideal aesthetic for males.

ive never noticed before, everyone has something different about them, no 2 peoples features are the same, be happy with what you have, theres nothing wrong with being different. x

Straight for me.
I think noses which have a bump in the middle are pretty bad. Mine has a bump on the middle and a bulbous end but still manages to look a bit snubbed and stuck up at the air.

Aqualine noses on women can look fine, especially if they are proportionally small. My mother has one, and is a very beautiful woman.
It's not often you sit and study someone's nose on its own. It's usually accompanied by an entire face, and therefore it doesn't matter so much. If the whole face is unpleasant, then a nose shape isn't going to make much difference tbh.
I don't care as long as it suits the face. Some people would look weird with a straight nose :dontknow:

Really because when in school during history my class were watching the film The Pianist and my friends pointed out that the main character had my nose so I think peoples nose shapes are a very noticeable feature.

I have an Aquiline nose :biggrin:
Straight. Has to be a decent size as well. I cannot stand button noses, makes people look about 3 years old.
