what kinds of facial measurements r important?

[Cizzzzzzzzzz]

im a number autist so if theres a way to quantify what facial areas need improvement im interested. i know to measure midface/philtrum length/face width & height, what else?
if you use any specialised equipment to measure more accurately id like to know too

no one on this site knows anything

there are a lot of measurements people use: facial thirds, facial width-to-height ratio (fWHR), interpupillary distance, canthal tilt, bigonial width, bizygomatic width, jaw angle, chin projection, gonial angle, facial symmetry, eye spacing, nose width relative to interpupillary distance, and lip proportions

that said, i'd be careful not to overestimate how much these numbers can predict attractiveness. they can describe a face, but they don't fully explain why someone looks good. harmony between features usually matters more than any single measurement

Info Top 10 Most Important Frontal Facial Ratios in Men

Apr 13, 2026

NUMBER 10: MIDFACE RATIO
Ideal: 0.93 - 1.01
- Measured by dividing interpupillary distance by pupil-to-lip distance.
- A compact midface is seen as more youthful and feminine while a longer midface is seen as older and masculine (as it shows a taller skull). You ideally want to be in this ideal range to be male dimorphic, yet still look young.

NUMBER 9: MOUTH WIDTH TO NOSE WIDTH
Ideal: 1.38 - 1.55
- Measured by dividing mouth width by nose width.
- A wide mouth signifies a wide palate which would mean your airways are functioning properly, signaling proper...

Info The 4 Pillars of Attractiveness (Revised)

May 24, 2026

Spoiler: Key

h = Harmony, d = Dimorphism, a = Angularity, m = Miscellaneous features
p1 = Highest pillar, p2 = Lowest pillar

Spoiler: The 4 Pillars of Attractiveness

The 4 Pillars of Attractiveness:
1. Harmony (undisputed)
2. Dimorphism (interchangeable with 3, 4)
3. Angularity (interchangeable with 2, 4)
4. Miscellaneous (interchangeable with 2, 3)

Depending on the formula, this is how the pillars may be ranked by importance. You give each of them a score out of 10 and multiply them by a decimal to get a full scale score on a face.

Personally I do:

Info Super-Gaussian Curve for Harmony

May 25, 2026

90% of you n*****s won't understand this
I didn't write well and it's quite complex

I'd recommend reading this (the Harmony portion of my thread The 4 Pillars of Attractiveness (Revised) beforehand:

Spoiler: Harmony

1. Harmony
In short, facial harmony is how balanced and proportionate your face is. It uses ratios and math to measure how each feature on your face interacts with other features.

There are many ratios depending on what formula you use as it could up to as high as 40 or more purely off the front profile. Every ratio has a different level of importance.

There are two...

You will find these interesting brother
I did not include an up-to-date formula though

Harmony between features = the measurements bhai
Mouth to nose is literally harmony between features

to an extent, sure. measurements can help describe harmony. what i mean is that two people can have very similar measurements on paper and still look quite different overall. there are things like soft tissue, facial expression, skin quality, feature shape, and how everything comes together that aren't captured perfectly by ratios alone

You are describing the 3 other pillars of attractiveness
Dimorphism, miscellaneous features, angularity

sure, but that's kind of my point. the more categories you add, the further you get from the idea that attractiveness can be explained by a few facial measurements alone
