Ascend: the looksmaxxing forum

The gonial angle is the corner where the back of your jaw turns forward. Smaller angle, squarer corner.
Adults average roughly 117°–128° on X-rays, and men and women differ by only a few degrees.
Side-profile photos are rough at best for one person. Front-facing photos and apps haven't been validated.
The bone is set in adulthood. What changes how your jaw looks is mostly the fat over it.
Only surgery moves the bone. Fat loss, fillers or Botox in the chewing muscle change the look. Gum chewing and mewing have no trial evidence.

Tilt is the angle from the inner to the outer eye corner. Positive means the outer corner sits higher.
A positive tilt is normal: study averages run from about +1° to +9.5° depending on sex and ancestry.
In one rated-photo study, the top group averaged about 9°, versus about 6.5° for the bottom group.
More isn't always better. Lifting corners past their natural position made faces rate worse.
Chin angle and head tilt skew the reading a lot, so measure straight on and average both eyes.
Only surgery moves the corner. Brows, lid tension, sleep and photo angle change how it reads.

It's a community label for four traits together: upward tilt, deep-set eyes, little visible upper lid and a low brow.
Eye depth and tilt come from bone and how the lids are anchored, so they're fixed in adults without surgery.
Sleep is the lever with the best evidence. Short sleep makes eyes look puffier, redder, darker and more tired.
Forcing a lower brow or a higher outer corner lowered attractiveness and trust ratings in studies.
Mewing has never been trial-tested for eyes, and a negative tilt isn't proven to be unattractive.
