First and foremost,

You must provide:
  • An undistorted frontal profile
  • An undistorted side profile
Below are some good examples

IMG_4150.jpeg
IMG_4138.jpeg


How to take undistorted pictures?
  • Use rear camera. Frontal (selfie) camera is designed for selfies and produces lower quality photos than rear.
  • Stand about 4-6 feet from the camera. Use a timed photo function on your phone. You can stand a little bit closer for better quality and a bit further for reduced distortion.
  • Make sure that the lighting allows us to see the outline of all your features. If you want to show your true coloring/angularity, you can always take separate pictures for that.
  • Phone tilt must be neutral. Make sure that it stands against a straight vertical object.
  • Your head must be in the centre of the photo. This ensures reduced distortion.
  • When taking side profile pictures, try to position the side of your face as parallel to the camera as possible. A true side profile is an amazing material for analyzing multiple features/ratios and especially general recession.
  • Please avoid any facial expressions and look directly in the camera (when taking frontal).
  • AVOID FRAUDING. No squinting, clenching, pouting etc. Most raters here will spot these things quickly and simply make fun of you for doing it. You can jut, mew etc if you’re doing it 24/7 irl.
Following the guidelines above, you will be able to take the most accurate pictures of yourself. It doesn’t have to be perfect - just try to follow as many as you can.

You can also provide candids, 3/4ths and mirror selfies. In fact, those can be a great addition to your clear frontals and sides.

Remember - it’s your responsibility to ensure that other users here have the most accurate idea of how you look like in order to give you structured rating and advice, tailored to your needs.

Not bad ig

What do you mean hitting the gym? As in losing fat?
No as in getting muscular! you don’t seem fat your face just seems kinda bulky if that makes sense but also kinda flat like you need more dimension bigger jaw and slimmer cheeks which the gaining muscle would provide cuz your face is not recessed!

Yes it does makes sense. Are you talking about facial depth from the front or the side?

From the front! I think just building up muscle would help a lot! Cuz I am seeing equal low and upper third with a small midface(which isn’t bad it makes you cuter) and you have a properly developed upper and lower jaw it’s just that the face looks very square ish because of the lack of volume and muscle mass. Plus loosing some buccal fat would make you look much better I think but that’s just my opinion!
IMG_1776.jpeg

I think the side is just the lack of posing and bad angle that makes it look less defined.

Oh yes, I completely agree. Don’t think that the square look is necessarily bad for a guy but I think I know what you mean there, Ive got a frontal chin filler after this pic and it looks better now. Im losing fat aswell, right now sitting at about 15 but will defo go to 10-12. I actually have a decent amount of volume in my face (my cheekbones are pretty big) but it doesn’t look like so cuz the photo is taken from far away + fat covering it. Also yeah the side looks a bit autistic but it also lacks chin projection, Im improving it in a few months aswell

Honestly I don’t think you should get any surgery or fillers like you’re pretty and most guys can just ascend by hitting the gym unless their face is completely recessed. If u can take low dose T(cuz too much steroids look a mess) and train daily you can get a very chiseled look which in my opinion would be enough.

Ive already gotten fillers, Id legit be a subhuman without them. Ill just finish pinning in my chin, its very safe, both me and my injector are high iq on this. Thanks for the compliments and advice.

I have a genetically thin hair, large cranium/forehead and a bad hairline shape. I haven’t started balding yet but if I will Itll r**e me instantly so I cannot afford risking by taking any androgenic compounds, low doses of testosterone might be safe with fin but I cannot afford risking it at all

I think your facial structure is overall quite fem which is not a bad thing lol I mean I saw the gender bend version of u before so it kinda proves it ig but the problem with filler as we all know is that it migrates, wouldn’t fat transfer or implants be better? I can’t see your hairline but you should probably get a better haircut imo… i am kinda against procedures unless you have body dysmorphia or dysphoria I personally think getting buff would benefit you a lot more

I think you can still get chiselled with high T if u take dutasteride but idk if that’s counter productive tbh I know topical finasteride also exists you should look into it it might be more convenient 🫶🫶

Yeah my facial structure is pretty fem, although imo I got a nice dimo boost from my last injection. Filler can migrate but it’s very unlikely in my case, again Im high iq on this and I know what Im doing. Im not insecure about anything rn, I get treated like a human (was treated much worse before btw, ascending really helps) and I don’t wanna “slay” so I approach any procedure with caution, good research and ROI evaluation. Implants can get infected (much worse than migration) and fat transfer isn’t very effective for the chin. Genio would be ideal but unrealistic for me rn.

My hair is complete shite and it is my biggest falio rn imo, I used to have a good perm but shaved it off, just need to grow it out for a few months before getting a perm again. Dut is unavailable in my country and oral fin is the best I can get (topical is worse). Ill get it as soon as I turn 18 which will be in a few months. Prevention is the best approach for balding

Do yall actually get treated badly because of your looks? Like idk I never even thought pretty privilege was a thing I mainly just wanna “ascend” to fix my dysphoria if anything, ngl I think lookism online is real but irl it’s just placebo… like I don’t really believe in the bp idk…

like mind you I am trans and never even had anyone negatively comment on my looks lmfao

Okay good after that you can start exercising just be careful of gyno I’ve heard it can happen if you’re a high responder on dutasteride or something

Yes we do. Im not pretty tier so I don’t get the privelege, but I get treated like a human now. I used to be treated much worse when I was lltn-subhuman. It wasn’t that apparent but I could subconsciously feel it from others. It’s not as bad as some bpers say but is also incomparable to what coper normies rant about. Gl with your ascension btw.

Ill try not to get gyno haha thanks

I don’t wanna invalidate your feelings but I dont believe in pretty privilege tbh 🥲like I never felt like I was treated differently cuz of my looks, whether good or bad. Like if I was ever treated differently it was always abt me being queer so it might be different idk

Like it’s giving always called a t****y but never ugly

That’s fine, everybody has different views on life.

As for me being subhuman, I actually was. Youve never seen me pre chin filer and I don’t even have any pictures of it because I used to jut for 2-3 years straight before I got fillers. In that small period of time when I stopped jutting, maybe around 3-5 days I legit look fully subhuman, unfortunately that’s just the truth. But Im happy because I respect science and knowledge and that’s what allowed me to ascend and gave me opportunities to live a full happy life. Ill never go back to that point so now it just feels like a bad dream

Can’t tell if I never experienced it or have sub conscious experiencing the BP and not realising it tho I probably just look average like most people tbh🫩

Wouldn’t wearing braces fix it permanently instead of filler? Like to pull the jaw forward

Tbh most average people don’t experience “bp” unless they try to go super hypergamous which obviously only ht+ can do.

Braces wouldn’t fix my issue, I need a trimax but that’s super expensive and even then my chin shape would be lackluster. If my life situation was more stable Id get genio + a bit of fillers on top but I don’t have enough finances to fund a surgery revision or sum

I Could probably go hypergamous with DL trade but lowkey don’t want a bf pre SRS

What is srs?

My overbite isn’t that bad, it doesn’t affect me in any functional way. My chin itself is just very small too which should be fixed with genio ideally but there’s obviously no insurance for genio as it is a puerly cosmetic procedure

Sex change basically, like I am only losing my virginity after I get that done…

Then gym should fix this like when you see very chiselled buff men they also have strong jaws and cheeks so getting more masculine should give you a better face I think!!! Plus jaw filler and cheek filler should give you the results you want tho be careful of migration ofc
