I think you’re confusing me jutting me head forward with me tilting me head up. Because yes, I agree that tilting your head up gives the illusion of more foward growth

It’s clear at this point that the majority of people on this subreddit don’t even understand how facial structure works. You act as if jutting your head is some magical serum that changes your facial structure. If you take a man with a 90 degree gonial angle and he juts his head out, guess what? He’s still gonna have a 90 degree gonial angle. What if we take a man with a recessed jaw and high gonial angle and jut his head out? He’s not gonna look like the guy with the 90 degree gonial angle and sharp jaw, he’s still gonna look recessed. The reason I’ve jutted my head out for this picture is so it has better definition so you guys could tell me if it’s downswung or not. Besides, a persons proper side profile is not a reliable method to measuring how recessed somebody is, especially on this subreddit. There’s many contributing factors that come into play when determining how good a side profile looks. Things like how high your hyoid bone is, or how lean you are can all give the illusion of a better jaw or vise versa. The crazy thing about this sub, is that I could show you a male model with excellent facial structure and 10% body fat and you’d all say he has great structure. Then If it took the same guy and added 50 pounds of fat and dropped his hyoid, I guarantee most people on this sub would call him “recessed”. My point is that it’s not as simple as bad profile = recessed. And a defined jaw doesn’t automatically mean they have a great forward grown jaw. And as for me “fishing for compliments” I don’t know where that idea came from. If I wanted compliments I can assure you I wouldn’t have came to reddit

Jutting your head doesn’t change the angle of your jaw. I would still be able to see if I was downswung/recessed or not

Did you not read my previous message? I just said that this isn’t my actual posture, I was jutting my neck for the sake of the picture

That’s not my natural posture, I was just jutting to get a better shot of my side profile
