Disclaimer this thread is aimed at people using the rating section and how they can have a more accurate side profile rating.
The main problem that I would like to address concerning side profiles is very obvious but in my opinion not talked about enough. A lot of this information will be very obvious but something people don’t often take into account when asking for ratings.
Side profile- Side profile is a view of your head from the right or left
Not tilted up or down.
Your side profile Highlights features such as how lean you are nose shape and size, how prominent and how high or low cheekbones are as well as your Jaw.
Ideally your posture should replicate the first diagram on the right or second. Diagrams other than the first 2 on the right could give of the illusion of a more down grown face or hide your jawline visibility due to skin, fat and soft tissue sort of bunching up and compresses.
This point is not worth an example and examples were to hard to find.
Another important point is that the picture of your side profile wont count as a picture of your side profile Won’t count if you can see this a gap between your eyebrows on your side profile picture.

My main point of this thread is: How much a side profiles appearance can change based on which way your facing the angle of your head as well as many other factors.
The sharpness or prominence of features of your side profile can be influenced by the way the skin and soft/underlying tissues are stretched or positioned. When the head is tilted or turned, the skin can be stretched tightly over certain areas making bones and facial features appear more defined or sharper, Most noticeably your Jaw!
People will occasionally see your side profile with all the tissue and skin stretched like picture 1 and 4 but not very often. When your walking pass someone and they are attracted to you they most likely will subconciously look at you to gather visual information of how you look spiking their attention to you and dopamine when they see your side profile (Which would look like the 2nd and third picture.)
This is a good video of someone talking about this concept and also inspired me to make this thread.
