The real and obvious answer: because it isn’t subjective — it’s at least mostly objective. Like, yeah, of course these guys are more attractive than someone who’s extremely anorexic, with bones poking out of his body, severely crooked yellow teeth, and a face covered in cystic acne, etc. Only Redditors would disagree.

The study by Behnam Khosravanifard et al. (2013) titled “Factors influencing attractiveness of soft tissue profile” (published in Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology) investigates what facial soft tissue features are associated with perceived attractiveness.


Key Findings:

1. Most Critical Factor:
   • Mandibular retrusion (a recessed lower jaw) was the strongest negative predictor of attractiveness for both men and women.
2. Common Traits in Attractive Faces (Both Genders):
   • Less prominent noses
   • Higher-positioned nose tips
   • Protruded upper lips relative to lower lips
   • Deeper lower facial height
3. Gender-Specific Traits:
   • Women:
     • Lips closer to the midpoint between the nose tip and chin were perceived as more attractive.
   • Men:
     • Straighter facial profiles and more protruded maxillas (upper jaws) increased attractiveness.

Methodology Summary:
Participants: 100 students with clinically acceptable occlusion

• Evaluators: 20 judges assessed attractiveness using profile photographs
• Analysis: 12 soft tissue profile variables were statistically compared (t-test) between 30 most attractive and 30 least attractive matched subjects

Implications:

This research helps clarify which soft tissue profile features are generally considered attractive in a standardized context. It also underlines the importance of avoiding mandibular retrusion in orthodontic and surgical facial planning, especially in aesthetic-focused treatments.
