Yes, men often say they like fuller lips, but there’s a science to beauty that goes beyond just preferences—it’s rooted in specific proportions and symmetry. Blonde hair, fair skin, and other European features are highlighted as ideal in Western culture, though tannable skin is also increasingly valued for its healthy, glowing appearance. But it’s not just about these trends—there are measurable factors that contribute to facial attractiveness.

Here’s a breakdown of key features and their ideal proportions:

1. Lips
Upper to Lower Lip Ratio: The upper lip is typically smaller than the lower lip, with an ideal ratio of 1:1.5.

Nose to Upper Lip Distance: The distance from the bottom of the nose to the upper lip should be about one-third of the overall length of the face.

2. Eyes
Eye Spacing: The ideal distance between the eyes is about one eye width apart.

Eye Shape: Almond-shaped eyes are considered a sign of beauty.

Eyes to Eyebrow Distance: Should be proportionate to the rest of the face, with enough space between the eyes and eyebrows for balance.

3. Nose
Nose Width: The width of the nose is typically about the same as the distance between the inner corners of the eyes.

Nose Length: The ideal length is proportional to the face, often said to correspond to the distance from the tip of the nose to the bottom of the chin.

4. Cheekbones
Cheekbone Position: High, prominent cheekbones are considered attractive. They should sit just below the eyes, with a clear contrast to the jawline.

Fullness: A certain degree of fullness is desirable, as it adds youthful appearance and health.

5. Jawline and Chin
Jawline Definition: A strong, well-defined jawline is considered appealing, though softer jawlines are more feminine, and angular jawlines are more masculine.

Chin Length: The chin should be about one-third of the total length of the face.

Chin Proportion: The chin should align well with the rest of the features, not too sharp or recessed.

6. Symmetry
Facial Symmetry: Symmetry is often considered the most critical factor in beauty. Faces that are more symmetrical tend to be more attractive as they signal genetic fitness and health.

7. Facial Harmony
Feature Balance: Beauty isn't just about individual features but how they work together in harmony. For the face to appear most attractive, the proportions of eyes, nose, lips, cheekbones, and jawline should align in a balanced way.

These ideal proportions and cultural influences, such as blonde hair and fair skin, contribute to what is often deemed beautiful in Western culture.

Men don't find it attractive. Women mostly do it because they don't like their appearance.

Do they "like" like it, or are they curiously fascinated by it like rubbernecking an accident or seeing an odd creature in a zoo?

If men didn’t like it why would women keep doing it?

For the same reason all the other elements of fashion come and go. Were 80's style shoulder pads intrinsically hot? No.

Certain men like it. The question for women is whether you would want a man that does.

Gay men in the fashion industry.

Not romantically.
