What makes a man's face attractive/handsome?

[ADFSDF1996]

I've never heard a man get called beautiful, I've heard men only get called handsome by women.

[ak666]

Some of it is going to boil down to the fundamental differences between male and female anatomy. For example, male and female skull:

www.juniordentist.com/.../...-vs-female-skull.jpeg

The forehead is receding, wider, bigger jaw, brow ridge is more pronounced, etc. In terms of hairline, it tends to be higher in men.

As we start working towards flesh and muscle and hair, we see broader necks in men, thinner lips but wider mouth, stronger jawline with more obvious clenching of the jaw due to the bigger muscles, less arched, adam's apple, smaller eyes, hollower cheeks, etc.

All of this helps to kind of understand the fundamental differences between male and female and what might constitute a "masculine" face (in a sense that goes beyond sociological constructs but based on universal differences between male and female anatomy). As for what we consider attractive, often what tends to be popular in society will be male faces that tend to be rather canonical. They'll have all these types of features but not too pronounced or exaggerated any particular way, and often without too much asymmetry.

Some of it is also purely sociological and just what we value. It's kind of a chicken or the egg problem: do we consider a face attractive because it's popular in media, or is it popular in media because we consider it attractive?

Anyway, this is far from a definitive answer but it might yield some insight.

Handsome is often treated as the more masculine equivalent of beautiful. Human facial attraction stems from symmetry between two halves of the face. So if a man has a very symmetrical face with traditionally masculine qualities (strong/square jaw, defined cheekbones, etc.) people would traditionally consider him handsome. However, if he had softer features, he'd lean more towards beautiful.

This analogy may not work for everyone, but the distinction between "beautiful" and "handsome" in men can be seen when contrasting someone like Jared Leto (beautiful) with Matt Damon (handsome).

I call men beautiful... this guy here, dear god he's so beautiful I could cry...

For me, dark hair always gets me. Dark hair and a cracking smile are just a winning combo...

[nala_rawr]

They say symmetrical faces for men and women r the best...
Masculinity, nice eyes, strong features, clean face hair, good teeth, full lips, good nose...
It's really a good face as a whole tho...

[ADFSDF1996]

What are strong features?

[ADFSDF1996]

I have no idea what a symmetrical face is😀.

[nala_rawr]

Ones that stand out...

[nala_rawr]

It means the face is exactly the same on both sides..

[ADFSDF1996]

I didn't know that, I thought everyone is like that.

[nala_rawr]

No, not at all...

[ADFSDF1996]

Thanks for sharing an opinion.

[TruExo]

What about me am I pretty. This is the best selfie I got s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/.../...10c40a7cba.jpg

[nala_rawr]

@TruExo hella sexy..

[ADFSDF1996]

@TruExo I actually feel sorry for that guy. There is a story about that picture.

[LaFemmeFatale]

Eyes,
Sharp jawline,
well-shaped lips and eyebrows.
soft skin,
clean-shaven.
Beard is okay just clean-shaven is my preference.

[MaLifeBeLikeOooAaah]

Clean shaven huh? 😉

[ADFSDF1996]

What about the overal bone structure on a man's face🙂?

[LaFemmeFatale]

@MaLifeBeLikeOooAaah Lol Yeah

[LaFemmeFatale]

@Asker I don't care as long as his face is symmetrical

[ADFSDF1996]

Interesting, I did hear that us humans are naturally attracted to symmetrical faces. Thanks for sharing an opinion.

[somebodysaycheese]

thin face, square jar, prominent jaw muscles, full lips, big eyes, full eyebrows, clear skin, good teeth just masculine features in general.

[ADFSDF1996]

What about the cheeks?

[somebodysaycheese]

what about them? I said thin face so im not into chubby cheeks it makes the guy look too cute and im not into cute looking men.

[ADFSDF1996]

What if he has high cheekbones?

[givemetablet]

since when did big eyes become a masculine feature? u need big eye sockets but well covered making it look squinty

[BubbleBoy69]

Look at my take

www.girlsaskguys.com/.../a29285-a-handsome-man-is-more-valuable-than-an-attractive-women

It answers your question and then some

[Keiran1995]

I don't know dude but what works well for me is ; blow drying my hair using top of the range hair products and. Using good barbers, tanning , trimming eye brows , blue eyes , working out 5 days a week, I get a lot of women. Hitting on me on transport , stores , night clubs. It's also how you carry yourself. A lot of women may prefer a man who is a little introverted. Just be unique and yourself dude women love that shit

[stillagoodgirl]

Women don't get called handsome either... in my opinion it's not appropriate to call a man pretty or beautiful because it implied that he's feminine...

[RegularShmegularGurl]

Strong jawline 👅, thin nose, Nice eyes and teeth👅, Facial hair 😍 , Plump lips, Thick eyebrows 😝😝 Clear skin

[ADFSDF1996]

What about cheek bones?

[RegularShmegularGurl]

They are great to! But if he has them he looks better if he doesn't he still looks fine as fuck 😂

[frecklejuice]

Lean face, sharp eyes, prominent jawline, pointy nose, etc

[Proof_Striker55]

You are right. I agree with you.

[Hollywood-Glam]

Gorgeous pair of eyes
Defined jawline
A little bit of beard
Beautiful smile

[Anonymous]

A nice thick fucking beard is what women love in the main. It makes their clitty pee pee.

[Icyfire101]

Lol that last bit... Urine leaves through the urethra. The clitoris is not the same as the urethra. Hope you joking

[MaLifeBeLikeOooAaah]

Symmetry, jaw, eyes, bones etc

[ADFSDF1996]

I've heard about symmetry but I don't know what a symmetrical face looks like.

[MaLifeBeLikeOooAaah]

[ADFSDF1996]

I can't really tell the difference between a symmetrical and non symmetrical face.

[Jan1ssary_]

@MaLifeBeLikeOooAaah this luvky guy definitely has these features dammit :D

[MaLifeBeLikeOooAaah]

Basically structure and proportion really, but looks is subjective anyways

[MaLifeBeLikeOooAaah]

[ice_vampire]

@asker ^^^^^^This man is the example of what women call "lady boner"
Symmetry, jaw, eyes, bones... he has everything.

[ADFSDF1996]

@ice_vampire I don't know if women are turned on by visuals though.

[ice_vampire]

Women are turned on by visuals.

[ADFSDF1996]

@ice_vampire Most say they don't.

[ice_vampire]

They do.

[ADFSDF1996]

@ice_vampire I hope so, cause I'm starting to doubt women even find men attractive from everything a lot of women have told me.

[ice_vampire]

They lie too bro, just to fit in the social expectation.
Now lets not disturb our pal @MaLifeBeLikeOooAaah with unlimited notifications.

[MaLifeBeLikeOooAaah]

@ice_vampire lmao bro, thanks I'm blushing :*
But asker they're definitely turned on by visuals! Just like guys are we're all human

[ice_vampire]

Welcome bro.😊

[Anonymous]

Men can be beautiful as well. Just like a woman can be handsome.

[ADFSDF1996]

I don't think society allows it though.

[Opinion Owner]

Lol really? There are transgenders and drag queens... society allows it. And some men are just born when beautiful features haha

[ADFSDF1996]

I messed up on the reply, I meant that it's not socially acceptable to call a man beautiful because it implies that he looks feminine, likewise it's not socially acceptable to call a woman handsome because it implies that she looks masculine.

[TheButterfly]

Symmetry and maculinity

[MyCatHatesMee]

A strong jaw and a nice smile!

[ADFSDF1996]

Is that all? What about the rest of a man's face?

[MyCatHatesMee]

basically anyone who looks like Tom Hardy! :D

[Jan1ssary_]

A masculine face and a nice beard ;)

[Anonymous]

I like mustaches! It looks good on most men. 😊

[ADFSDF1996]

Is that all you like about a man's face?

[idkthus]

Leonardo Dicaprio was beautiful in90s.

[idkthus]

There is no certain feathers could make a perfect face alone, it's how they're combined together, which is the magic of the God.
