Jawline Score

Jawline Score.

The four jawline metrics

Fazly’s jawline sub-score blends:

1. Gonial angle

The angle at the corner of your jaw, where the vertical (ramus) meets the horizontal (body of mandible). Aesthetic sweet spot:

  • Men: 115–130° (sharper = more masculine read)
  • Women: 120–135° (softer)

Below 110° looks square / bulldog; above 140° looks rounded / undefined.

2. Bigonial width

Horizontal distance between the two gonial points. Should be slightly less than your zygomatic (cheekbone) width — usually 5–10% narrower. Wider than cheekbones reads as bottom-heavy; much narrower reads as weak.

3. Submental softness

The under-chin area. Measured by the angle between your jaw line and your neck. Sharper = better defined.

  • Sharp: 90–105° angle (clean separation)
  • Soft: 110–130° (some fullness)
  • Undefined: 130°+ (visible double chin)

This is the single most variable component — it shifts with weight, hydration, and even how you hold your head for the photo.

4. Chin projection

How far your chin sits forward of a vertical line dropped from your lower lip. Slight projection (1–3mm) reads strong. No projection or recession reads weak. Excessive projection looks “Hapsburg.”

Why jawline weight is so heavy

Across thousands of attractiveness studies, jaw definition is the single highest correlate with rated attractiveness — more than eye shape, more than skin, more than nose. It’s one of the most sexually dimorphic facial features and signals testosterone exposure during puberty.

That’s also why it’s one of the most rewarding zones to optimize. Even fixed bone structure can be re-framed by:

  • Body fat % (every 2% drop adds visible jaw definition)
  • Neck training (sternocleidomastoid + traps reframe the jaw line)
  • Posture (forward-head posture creates fake double chin)
  • Beard / stubble shape

Track your jawline sub-score weekly while making changes. The improvement curve is the steepest of any face metric — small physical changes show up fast.
