What makes a male face attractive?
Jawlines have always played an integral part in defining a person’s features. Be it a man or a woman, a strong jawline has always been considered an attractive trait. Have you ever wondered why is a jawline considered attractive and why is a chiseled jawline such a big deal?
To understand why a Jawline is considered attractive, it’s imperative to understand what a jawline is in the first place. A jawline, simply put, is the external appearance of your jaw, the bone structure that starts from your chin and extends up to your ears forming an angle at which it is visible below the ear giving your face a clearly defined shape, and this outline of your face is considered a Jawline.
While the obsession with getting a chiseled Jawline is relatively new. A strong jawline has always been considered attractive. Even in the centuries old Greek mythology, Greek gods and Goddesses were considered to be extremely attractive and were known for their immaculate facial features. A chiseled jawline is also referred to as a ‘Greek God Jawline’
Here’s some of the reasons why a chiseled jawline is considered important:
A strong Jawline is a sign of good health
A strong chiseled jawline means a low body fat percentage, which in most cases is likely to translate into a sign of good health. Strong Jawlines for most parts are also considered a sign of good dental health.
A strong Jawline is a sign of a fit body
A lot of celebrities and role models that you aspire to look like have an extremely well defined jawline and this most importantly due to the fact that they are very fit. Most of us have a strong bone structure that is probably buried under those chubby cheeks.
If you really want a strong jawline it is extremely important to take care of your body to begin with. Work out regularly, drink lots of water and eat right. As you start losing weight, your bone structure will also begin to show, thus helping you get a sharper jawline and a much fitter body in general.
A strong Jawline is considered culturally more appealing
A well defined jawline gives the perception of an angular and symmetrical face and a strong jawline is considered attractive by both sexes. Hence it doesn’t come as a surprise why some of the best models and actors in the show business, both men and women, have a chiseled jawline and sharp cheekbones.
There are also enough examples of actors and actresses who have rounder, softer features who are considered just as attractive. Having a sharp jawline however, definitely helps your case if you’re pursuing a career in show business.
A strong Jawline is considered culturally attractive
Think about it for a second, right from Greek mythology to all the superheroes you followed growing up, all the Hollywood celebrities you admired, more often than not have had a strong jawline. Hence, this belief of equating success with a strong jawline goes all the way back to Greek mythology; a lot of superheroes were modeled after greek gods and goddesses who were known for their chiseled jawlines and sharp features.
A strong Jawline is attractive to the opposite sex
This is a well documented fact, right from an evolutionary perspective. A strong jawline in men is considered to be a sign of high testosterone levels which translates into greater virility. High testosterone levels are a sign of a strong immune system which means greater strength and stamina; therefore a strong jawline in men is considered a trait that is attractive to women.
Women with sharp jawlines are equally attractive to men and a well defined jawline in women is considered a sign of strength, grace and responsibility; traits that are extremely attractive to men. Some of the most beautiful actresses and models are observed to have an extremely chiseled jawline.
These are some of the reasons why a strong or a sharp jawline is considered attractive. Being attracted to a particular feature is extremely subjective and a sharp jawline is no different. Not having a chiseled jawline does not make you unattractive.
As long as you are comfortable in your skin and taking good care of your health you are more attractive than you realize. If you really want to get a strong jawline, there’s a plethora of exercises and products that could help you exercise your jaw and aid in achieving a well toned jawline.
