Men tend to have a higher, more
receded hairline than women. The
hairline also tends to form an ‘M’ shape
that recedes at the temples.
FACE
Men’s foreheads tend to be backwards sloping, with
an overhanging horizontal brow, whereas women’s tend to be
more vertical. Perhaps the most noticeable male characteristic
on the forehead is brow-bossing. This refers to the
ridge of bone that runs across the forehead just above the
eyes, and it is usually far more pronounced in males.
Male eyebrows are fairly straight and
thick and sit on or just under the orbital
rims with minimal eyebrow arch.
Men often have hollow cheeks,
because of flatter cheekbones and
their tendency to carry less fat.
Male noses are longer and wider and tend to have
a more prominent, straighter bridge and greater
width to the middle of the nose. An attractive male
nose has less tip rotation than women’s.
In males, the distance between the nose’s
base and the top of the lip is usually longer.
The male jawbone is usually heavier built and tends to
be wider because the masseter muscles, also
known as the chewing muscles, attached to the
corners of the jawbone are much bigger.
The Adam’s apple is usually visible and very
prominent in males but rarely visible in females.
Male chins are wider, have a flat base and have
two corners that form a square shape. Male chins
are taller and heavier and are more likely to have a
vertical cleft in the middle.
Male faces have a more square appearance and an ‘M’-shaped hairline coming down to a wide, square cornered
jaw at the bottom. The lower third of the male face is usually longer because of a long top lip and tall chin.
