[Discussion] Importance of Cheekbones

[MammothActuary]

Your cheekbones play a big role in forming your ogee curve, which is extremely important. The guy on the right looks like a bloated fat face while the left looks like a chiseled MM.

What about wide cheekbones like johnny depp?

 

[BigBoy]

Is it possible to peep cheekbones when you're a bloatcel?

Subhuman. I Have wide, low round cheekbones and they look very feminine and unaesthetic

That doesn't prove zygos are important. It proves not having giga-bloated cheeks is important.

How much intrinsic importance cheekbones really have vs being a proxy to a desirable level of low body fat?

Lifefuel tbh because I look like the image on the left

How much intrinsic importance cheekbones really have vs simply being a proxy to a desirable level of low body fat?

Not exactly, I’m pretty sure some people just have bigger cheekbones which helps protect them from damage to that area in fights. Also it has a lot to do with bloat because I’ve noticed that after I exercise my cheekbones are a lot more visible than at other times. When I first wake up they aren’t even visible at all

Yeah, I knew about that but why didn't the species evolve to have huge cheekbones than? It serves very little adaptive functions for a bone mass you have to carry around all your life. Not necessarily saying you are in the wrong, I am just thinking out loud.

Idk. Why didn’t all humans evolve to be tall and have very high testosterone levels for optimal survival? Instead only some men are tall and only some have high testosterone although both of these are highly beneficial for survival. I’ve always wondered this as well, I’m sure there’s some obvious explanation for it but I’m too stupid to realize/haven’t put enough research into it

If you don't have good cheekbones the highest you will be is Chad. Gigachads alqays have good cheekbones.

more than the jaw itself but less than the chin or eye area

It always a matter costs vs benefits balance. Being tall requires you to consume more in order to survive, in an environment where resources are scarce, it can be adaptive to be smaller. I am not convinced protruding cheekbones is an attractive feature as much as some would like to indicate here because the benefits seem low.

His is low set which is not ideal

Some people with low bf still have bloated faces because their cheekbones are low and non-protruding

 

[rockndogs]

I have no zygos. The good part is that i think zygos are extremely overrated.

Well I know from real life experience that cheekbones definitely are seen attractive. I don’t know how much of a benefit they really are though. And what do you mean by the cost of producing cheekbones? This isn’t like body size where bigger means more energy and resources are required.

But are they still considered good?

 

[Titbot]

Cheekbones by itself are not halos without good zygos to match it

 

[MammothActuary]

They are ok. Not subhuman but not good.

Arent cheekbones zygos same thing?

Testosterone produces prom high cheekbones but test being high comprimising the immune system so you need the best of both to get prom high cheekbones

Cheekbones are part of the Zygos

 

[Jecht]

CHEEKBONES ARE OVERRATED. To be more specific, the Malar is overrated.

You want the "Ogee Curve" created by the Zygomatic, not the Malar.

 

[Phillybeard1996]

Cheekbones are part of the Zygos

What are zygos then how do you define it?

I don’t know that much compared to other look max users @Zyros would be able to help define them

Well bones are heavy, I know it isn't a large bone, but how often does protruding cheekbones made a worthwhile difference in an ancestral man life. Low body fat clearly made you more fit when going out hunting, you are more likely to catch prey and be a good provider because having low body fat makes you faster and give you more endurance because you carrying less weight around, hence my first comment in this thread. Obviously, extremely low body fat isn't attractive because your own survival becomes at risk.

not sure what you’re trying to say with bodyfat here... I doubt cheekbones will weight that much more if that’s what you were trying to say

Bonesmashing is legit

No it’s not. The only gains you will see are temporary. Smashing your zygos won’t make them grow bigger in the long term, it will only harden the bone. The temporary size increase you see is inflammation.

Smashing yourself is such a stupid idea. Just get fillers bro

stupid ass fucking picture since you literally made his lower third fatter

importance of ogee curve

 

[norwoodreaper]

its impossible to have a lean looking face with flat cheekbones

 

[BobbyJindalsTwin]

I have decently wide zygos, but they are flat from side profile and borderline recessed. I wouldn't even call them low (they're not really high either), but because of the lack of forward projection my face is still chubby/bloated at 5'8"-5'9" and 135 pounds. But it's also partly because of my recessed jaw as well.
