Here are the pillars to understand:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5371\" src=\"https:\/\/mewing.coach\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/psl-infographic-showing-what-psl-measures.jpg\" alt=\"PSL infographic show what PSL measures\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mewing.coach\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/psl-infographic-showing-what-psl-measures.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mewing.coach\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/psl-infographic-showing-what-psl-measures-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mewing.coach\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/psl-infographic-showing-what-psl-measures-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mewing.coach\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/psl-infographic-showing-what-psl-measures-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>1) Symmetry<\/h3>\n<p>Across many studies, <strong>more symmetrical faces are rated as more attractive<\/strong>. Minor asymmetries are normal; extreme imbalances can reduce perceived harmony. (See referrals below.)<\/p>\n<h3>2) Averageness<\/h3>\n<p>Faces that sit closer to the population average often score higher. \u201cAverage\u201d doesn\u2019t mean bland\u2014rather, it suggests <strong>developmental stability<\/strong> and an absence of extreme outliers.<\/p>\n<h3>3) Sexual Dimorphism<\/h3>\n<p>Traits that emphasize sex-typical features\u2014e.g., stronger jaw\/brow cues in males, softer contours in females\u2014tend to be preferred. This is context-dependent and moderated by culture and individual preference, but it reliably shows up in the literature.<\/p>\n<h3>4) Facial Harmony &amp; Proportions<\/h3>\n<p>How well do features fit together? The jaw, cheekbones, nose, and eyes should form a balanced whole. For example, your lower-face angle (the <strong>gonial angle<\/strong>) affects how \u201cstructured\u201d your jawline appears. Learn more about harmony and structure in this deep-dive on the <a href=\"https:\/\/mewing.coach\/blog\/gonial-angle\">gonial angle<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>5) Skin Quality &amp; Facial Adiposity (Fat)<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Even skin tone and lower facial adiposity<\/strong> (i.e., less \u201cpuffiness\u201d) are strongly associated with higher attractiveness. If facial fat obscures your bone structure, your score may sit lower than your skeletal potential suggests.<\/p>\n<h3>6) Memorable Features<\/h3>\n<p>Standout traits can lift a face above \u201caverage\u201d\u2014for example, longer palpebral fissures or a deeper-set, horizontally long eye shape (often dubbed \u201chunter eyes\u201d in communities). If you\u2019re curious, read the guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/mewing.coach\/blog\/hunter-eyes-mewing\">hunter eyes<\/a>. Hollowing under the cheekbones can also accentuate structure; see <a href=\"https:\/\/mewing.coach\/blog\/how-to-get-hollow-cheeks\">how to get hollow cheeks<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Note:<\/em> PSL typically evaluates neutral or resting-face photos, while real-life attraction also includes expression, voice, presence, and behavior.
