Something is afoot in the land. An ossified pall hardens like cement over our Western women. Armies of bony, chiseled, jutting mandibles of maxillofacial transsexuality following in formation behind blitzkrieging boffo chins are mowing down reserves of beauty and femininity.
The horror!
Run for your lives!
It shoots friggin’ laser beams from its chin!
Her jaw is a geometric proof.
Overdeveloped blowjob muscles?
What is happening to our ladies? Their collective femininity is disappearing before our eyes. First come the manjaws, then come the newlywed chicks who sign up for internet cuckold-making services offering endless discreet trysts and humps in the alley behind Wawa. The traditional domain of women — their softness and erotic vulnerability — is yielding to a Grrl Brigade who look like they chew nails for fun. I half expect AskMen’s next Top 100 Babes to sport stubble.
The manjaw plague didn’t happen overnight, though it seems that way. It’s been in the works for a couple of generations now. Reasons abound.
- One word: Plastics. Are endocrine disrupting chemicals in that cherished SWPL standby, the plastic water bottle, masculinizing our women?
- Parabens. Or is it the stuff put into cosmetics? Could women be slavering testosterone boosters onto their cheeks each time the get ready for a night out on the town?
- The Pill. Let’s face it, the pill has been a huge society-wide experiment on women (and men, indirectly), which… interesting… ramifications are only now coming to light.
- Soft polygamy. What happens when you give women the run of the place? Well, besides voting for socialist diaper changers, you get a bunch of chicks chasing lantern-jawed alpha males and having illegitimate children by them, leading inexorably to future generations of more masculine daughters being raised by ever more feminine beta hubbies.
- A combination of all the above.
On my occasional forays into the ghetto, I recurrently note just how beastly the local girls look. Huge jaws and brows that could sprout Wolverine claws when roused to anger. Maybe this is the end result of a mating market where generations of women have spread for the most violent, thuggish men in the hood. If so, is there a trickle up effect to the rest of society? Are redneck girls getting manlier also? Will the upper classes figuratively and literally barricade themselves from the manjaw invasion, creating not only a cognitive elite but a neotenous elite? I can imagine the pendulum swinging back in time, as legions of red-blooded American men become so turned off by the Lara Croftian trannies in their midst that a price premium is placed on the pixies, nymphs and sprites. Perhaps all this masculinization of our women will render their wombs barren, restricting their ability to contribute to the next generation. Demographic shift happens.
We must return to the old ways before beauty and sublime femininity all but disappear from the land. We must find a way to bring back the dainty, feminine jawline. I’ll do my part by banging only flaky, neurotic waifs who don’t have an ambitious delicate bone in their bodies.
Most of those women are on HGH. That’s why their skin quality is so high. One side effect of HGH use is an enlarged jaw.

“When selection favors sexual dimorphism, high-fitness parents often produce low-fitness progeny of the opposite sex. This sexual conflict is thought to overwhelm the genetic benefits of mate choice because preferred males incur a cost through the production of low-fitness daughters. We provide a counterpoint in a lizard (Anolis sagrei) that exhibits sexual conflict over body size. By using mate-choice experiments, we show that female brown anoles produce more sons than daughters via large sires but more daughters than sons via small sires. Measures of progeny fitness in the wild suggest that maximal fitness payoffs can be achieved by shifting offspring production from daughters to sons as sire size increases. These results illustrate how the resolution of sexual conflict can restore the genetic benefits of mate choice.”

I think under matriarchies, where the most masculine men impregnate the most women, the pull will be towards masculinized people, both male and female, over several generations, because the more delicate-looking (gay-faced) men will father less children than their bigger brothers do. Its funny to me that “masculinized” women still want the most masculine men possible to act as a foil to themselves. If they wanted pretty daughters, they’d pick more suave-looking men. People can be mated for breeds just as surely as dogs can be. Ive read that most dog breeds only came to being over the last few hundred years by selective breeding for various traits. Just think…….the Old English sheepdog with all that hair is still related to an English Bulldog with short hair, and an enormous Irish Wolfhound. Same set of islands, just different breeding strategies by professional breeders. Middle Eastern and Caucasian men are really hairy (chests, back, legs), but Asian men seldom have much hair below the neck, and usually have sparse hair on their faces. It would probably be perplexing to an alien. The Aniu in Japan are really hairy…..Asians. But then Human biodiversity is a taboo subject so I guess we must be politically correct and not ask about these verbotten things.

I think you’re missing the obvious reason- as the taboo against exploiting feminine sexuality evaporates, “beauty” has come to be re-defined in terms of T & A much more than facial beauty. Most of the women in the photos in the post have crazy bodies. If compared side to side, face only, I think most men (and women) would still select dainty feminine facial features as more attractive. Throw in the T’s or a full body shot, and facial features become only one of many beauty variables. Back in the day, a woman had her face and her “figure”, that was not nearly as exposed and accentuated as it is today.

I think it’s interesting that the female examples above are linked to “pretty” and/or beta men.
BPAs in plastics not only mess with the female endocrine system but males also because they act like estrogen in the body. Could these men be choosing manlier looking women to compensate for something they are lacking?
Further, as western women gain weight and breed more and more hypo/hyperglycemic disposed genetics into the human soup, we are more susceptible to insulin issues. High levels of insulin promote higher levels of testosterone. So, a pregnant female with higher levels of testosterone may have a manlier looking girl baby. If she has higher levels of estrogen, she may have a girlier looking boy baby. And the cycle continues until we breed manly men and feminine women out of the populace. Not sure about the others, but Angelina had fertility issues – one of the simplest reasons for infertility in women is an insulin imbalance interfering with estrogen and ovulation so in her case, it is entirely possible hormones are the cause of that crazy jaw line.

The way women of a particular race look probably has not changed within the last several decades. It would probably take longer to seriously alter the facial phenotypes of a kind of women.
However, two things might have occured.
1) Racial mixing from blacks trickles into the caucasian gene pool and results in “white” women with more masculine features. Who’s to say Angelina Jolie isn’t 1/10th black? The longer we live in a racially mixed society, the greater percentage of offspring will have some mix of other races in them.
2) Women have not changed, but gay men are more prominent. Hence, in any media endeavor more masculine women get more attention. Thus, what is on the Askmen top 100 list doesn’t necessarily reflect the way the rest of the population looks.

More female “projection”: Tattoos.
This picture encapsulates so many themes that have bounced around inside my head:
That blonde could be classically beautiful. She has a bunch of tattoos because she thinks they make her look “badass”, and she thinks (wrongly) that men are attracted to “badass” women because she is attracted to badass men. Jesse James aside (outlier), men aren’t attracted to “tough-chicks”. Men like delicate, effiminate women who are the soft-foil to their hard-masculinity. That blonde is a classic case of projection. Her heavy eye-make-up is applied aggressively in such a way as to make her look like a tough-woman-to-be-reckoned-with or vampy-chick. It actually detracts from her very blue eyes. A little blue-eye shadow and light eye-liner would make those eyes look larger and more vunerable, which would make the hair on men’s chest stand up.
By trying to masculinize her look, she has made herself less desireable. A tall task because she’s pretty damned hot. If a really good beauty consultant could work with her, he’d have her in a shapely dress or blouse with tight slacks, just the right amount of make-up, low-heels, nice earrings and shiny brooch dangling low on her neck. Im thinking white, beige, or tan bouse. Glittering jewelry. She’d sparkle and men seeing her across a room would draw a quick intake of breath and their lungs would immediately fill to capacity and the extra oxygen would run down to their balls (orders from above: manufacture more testosterone) and their dicks would begin to fill with blood despite themselves. Instead men look at her and figure: biker chick thats slept with 50 men. Herpes. Fuhgget-it.

I don’t think women in general have more masculine faces; it’s more that the current “in” look for women is more masculine. This could be due to a number of factors: the preeminence of gay taste in style-making, the influence of feminism seeking “strong” looks to show that women aren’t soft and weak, and American obesity leading to obsession with thinness/athleticism as a status symbol are the ones that come to my mind. The end result is that the women who receive the most attention are the ones who exhibit the strong jawline and more athletic (broad-shouldered, narrow-hipped, yet slender arms and legs) builds. More traditionally feminine women still exist, but their looks are not in vogue. Consider how much attention Christina Hendricks of Mad Men receives for ~daring~ to have a voluptuous body. Fifty years ago she’d have been considered much less of an oddity in the entertainment world. Nowadays a lot of people just think she’s fat.

Today, the hair removal industry has boomed. And not just because of increasing demands for hairlessness. I really things girls have more hair – the delicate balance between androgens, testosterone and enzymes is whacked.
My mom, aunts, and female cousins in India only had to start removing hair (legsies etc) in adulthood – like college. And one wax was enough for like a year of smoothness.

Us girls in the US however? Not that way, unfortunately. Have to start at puberty (which we hit sooner than our cousins back in the old country).

Z says, “Its funny to me that “masculinized” women still want the most masculine men possible to act as a foil to themselves.”
A butch woman is still a woman. Her relative masculinity compared to others in an ethnically diverse environment has no bearing on her actual needs.
There’s a line though, between a woman who’s strong, and a woman who is masculine. That is the neck. Relative masculinity is only from the neck down because no matter how much a woman with sufficient estrogen works out, she is never going to have as much testosterone as a man. So unless something is masking her estrogen (like steroids), she’s got what she’s got.
Feminists have an interest in herding men towards more masculine, older women. These women would do just fine under a more nature friendly system because some damned body would marry them if they were interested in being decent wives. Women aren’t supposed to want to be decent anymore though. They’re supposed to be men with vaginas who let daycare raise their kids, and you men are supposed to be turned on by women like that.
It’s not just a look they’re selling. The look that they’re selling comes with an ideology that you’re supposed to buy.
Men like variety. Porn has variety in the main, variety in the niches, and a variety of all kinds of people doing all kinds of nasty stuff. Porn is dependent on the reality of actual fantasies to make money. Porn doesn’t do ideals or ideology. It does sex.
The mainstream, corporate controlled media though, attempts to shape fantasies according to its agenda to shape reality. It can apparently social proof a tranny looking woman who probably has AIS, into being the feminine ideal.
Brace yourself to be told, should you ever open your mouth about your dislike of the ManJaw, that you’re oppressing women by liking them to be soft and smaller than you, or even soft and rounder than you. Men will also say that you’re Gay for not liking the most worshipped sex(ually confused) symbols of the day. Either way, you’re not kneeling before the Great Harpy of Tomb-I-mean-Doom, even while feminists are now kissing fat women’s ass. The next trend is going to be the Great Breast Reduced Potato Torsoed Banshee of Boom.

You make a good point. Im just attempting to highlight the fact that as a trend, women are becoming physically a bit more masculine. Did you see the three photos I linked of “old-time” movie stars from the 1940’s?
Those weren’t the most delicate stars of their day, just three random pretty movie stars. They’d be the most gentle creatures in Hollywood today by a long shot. I think most men would be more primally moved by them than any starlet of our time -IN PERSON- if they got to meet them for very subliminal back-of-the-brain-stem reasons. Whiskey has highlighted how gay men and feminist women have influenced Hollywod to promote masculinized transexual-looking women. You made mention of a similar phenomenon of older feminists wanting men to be interested in older, more masculine women. I just dont think men can suppress their natural urges for the most feminine, delicate, young women available.
Porn has had a subtle effect on people of both sexes in differing ways. I think porn has probably made stripping a much harder profession for women to be in because men can view nude women anytime they want on their computers. I think porn’s greatest effect on women economically might be how many women who would have been strippers have been forced into professional prostitution by it. Advocatus Diaboli’s posts on the subject got me looking around online one night a few months back. Even my jaded eyes were suprised at just how many internet prostitutes could be found of surpisingly high quality in our larger cities. Pages and pages of them. Im inclined to believe these gals would have been strippers in the 80’s and early 90’s, but there they are…….at 300 to 800 an hour, in Chicago, NYC, LA and smaller towns across the plain.
A woman now born with a especially delicate face, if she played her cards right, could really have the run of the field out there because she’d stick out like a dog’s balls against the psuedo-trannies she’d be competing against. She could marry the handsome doctor, accountant, or lawyer by using old fashioned feminine wiles and charms. Women should never forget to be “soft”. That works like catnip on men, and they (men) will never be able to help it.

Okay, back to reality. There is no obesity epidemic. There is an old folks and not starving to death epidemic and to some degree, an endocrine disease epidemic. Most women of nubile age are not overweight unless you, like the CDC, lump women over 30 in with 20 year olds.
That’s just something fad diet promoters say to sell you packets of powder, and old fat people say to make themselves feel better.
My dad graduated high school at about 90-95 lbs. My brother graduated high school at about 150 lbs. That is a substantial weight gain between 1967 and 1994, but it doesn’t make my brother overweight or mean that my family has an obesity problem. It just means my dad made more money than his dad, so my brother got to be bigger and taller than him.
Yes, people are fatter than they used to be on average, but not many more women are actually fat under 30. The same girls who are fat now, would have been fat in the 70’s or 80’s, and even according to the CDC, with the munged statistics, there hasn’t been a substantial rise in women between the ages of 20-39 since the 80’s.

Then you have all these hyper-masculinized trannies wandering around. I find Angelina Jolie too butch for my tastes. It is hard to find a truly delicate, feminine woman these days, but as someone mentioned above, that makes them all the more valuable and desired. Women should take note of this, because it is what men truly want. I like a woman who is in shape, but not overly butch or masculine about it. And yes, I think part of this masculinized trend in fashion and looks is due to the influence of gay men projecting their erotic desires for young men onto the way women look. Many of these models look like fifteen year old boys in their facial and body features.

Mike raises an interesting point with the HGH hypothesis. However, I am going to say that it is probably plastic surgery, believe it or not.
These people are having themselves altered to look good on camera, and having a strong jawline may work better for video. Obviously, it has its flaws when it comes to stills, but keep in mind that caricature and reality are converging in cinema.
Whatever the case, I’d bet that Chateau’s post here will have an effect, and the plastic surgeon who gave these women manjaws will see his business fall as a direct result of this post.
The term “lantern jaw” is entirely appropriate here. It’s a flaw that one sees in a lot of Irish women, which diminishes their relative attractiveness, especially when the skin tightens and exposes the angles of the bones. The problem is that they don’t have the cheekbones and skull volume to match up to the wide jaw. I count myself lucky, because although I have a pretty massive jaw, I also have high, wide cheekbones and a very large cranium to accommodate the lower mandible. If you have a relatively small cranium, as most actresses do, the big jaw stands out a lot.
So I’m going to give Chateau props here for pointing out a creeping problem that has overtaken the entertainment industry. It may be that gay males have imposed their own ideas of what is attractive, i.e. the manjaw, upon the female actresses that rely on them for fashion tips.
It’s a mistake that will unfortunately lower their value prematurely, but so it goes. Women are cursed with the short, hot flame that burns twice as hot for half as long, while men smolder for decades.

I personally don’t like thin, light hair on guys and I wouldn’t collect a tiny amount of pictures showing my own personal preferences and try to ignite a theory that men are evolving away from full, thick hair. Just saying.
Picasso, Matisse, Gauguin, George Braque, Cezanne, Juan Gris, Robert Delaney, Fernand Leger, Albert Gleizes, Francis Picabia, Marcel Duchamp and Roger de la Fresnage, and countless other artists admired and made millions off of painting the angles of the female face.
Taste is taste and that is all. Art movements and the ideal of what beauty is changes with the ebb and flow of the decades. The women you have pictures of are all beautiful women in their own right, and if you label them as unattractive it is for your own blurred preferences that makes them so, not any objective measure that does.
Also, a popular gal in these parts, Katy Perry, has quite a pointy and jutting chin, so even your own tastes are inconsistent and based in mood.

@Nicole:Obviously, most men think that these women are gorgeous.
Another case of projection. Whilst women will all go loony-tunes over the latest fashionable male star, this is not true for men and the latest fashionable female star.
Just because a woman is famous doesn’t mean that men think she is gorgeous, want to shag her, or want to marry her.
It is quite amusing when a woman tells me, usually forcible and angrily that such and such a feel star really is gorgeous. I mean, as if she’d know! And why is she taking it personally?
Examples include, Kate Moss, (does absolutely nothing for me, probably because she looks like a prepubescent boy), Kate Winslet (a heifer), Madonna (even when she was young she was trying too heard to be a ghetto ho), Brooke Shields (boy). The list is huge, or at least would be if I turned my mind to it, but I have better things to do then try to think of icky ‘celebrity’ women.

Even though I think I’m on the same side of this as Breeze is, I read the study differently.
Namely, that T is a crucial part of the immune system. If you remove it, all the other components have to amp up their role because they’re then having to carry more weight. That’s how I interpreted that short report on the research, which after all was on mice, not men. Because of our much longer lifespans compared to mice, our immune systems are more complex.
In human males, normal T levels are associated with strong immune systems. Much lower than normal T levels are associated with weaker immune systems.
Of course there’s a natural limit, as higher than normal T levels are also associated with weaker immune systems — perhaps because if some other element of the system falls down, the body tries to compensate by upping the amount of T to make up for that (-just taking a flying stab at it).

LSB, in my opinion, people should focus on fitness, whichever flavor suits them. Nobody should be pursuing an externally generated physical ideal outside of grooming and ornamentation.
Nature takes care of itself just fine.
The problem is that when you’re talking about cultural representations of the ideal, it’s not the women’s looks that are the problem, it’s what they represent.
Back in the day, a considerable amount of time and money was spent scouting women who were both slender and feminine. They wanted women on the screen who men would instinctively feel aroused and warm fuzzies for at the same time. On the side, there were the tough chicks with moxy. There was room for everything in context.
In real life, it often is a choice between your face or your ass. Better yet, in real life, a functioning mother or nurturing type has more things on her mind than maintaining some wacked out 13% bodyfat. They’re too busy having a life. So usually, it balances out.
Most guys are okay with real life if they’re allowed to be. I’d say though that a slender feminine woman is closer to most women’s reality at least at some point during her life, than a super lean Amazon with visible facial ligaments.

The issue is the change between 1997 and 2007. The key number is the 31.7% of 18-29 year olds graded obese in 2007.
Even though the 1997-1998 numbers are for different age groupings, the 1997-98 numbers of 12.5% for 18-24 and 19% for 25-44 imply that 18-29 year olds in 1997-98 probably had an obesity rate between12.5% and 19%.
So there was a jump for that age group from something less than 19% to 31.7%. That’s quite notable in only a decade.

But Joyce took it a step further than Hemingway, who was just an irascible loudmouth concerning any and everyone.
I did go to St. Mary’s in Dingle, but I didn’t attend mass. The most striking resemblance I saw was in a rather masculine young woman in a pub in downtown Dingle. She looked like a cross between me and my sister. I did notice that a lot of the women down there were a bit mannish. They were tall, broad, and had angular features. Lots of blondes, too. Reminded me of the typical American pioneer women you might see in those 19th century photos.
In my experience it was the opposite. They wouldn’t speak any around me, but the proprietress of the B&B would have friends over at the end of the day and they’d speak Gaelic to each other indoors. I think it’s just the strip along the coast there where they still speak Irish — I didn’t spend much time in Killarney.
I know Belfast is NE, but it’s still pretty close to the NW. I imagine the dialect might be similar. And yes, from my mother’s side I’ve got a heavy dose of Scots-Irish. But I’ve also got Welsh on both sides, and had a Norwegian grandma (from Trondelag). I call myself a European/North Atlantic Islander (as opposed to Asian/Pacific Islander).
Funny thing about the feud is that it doesn’t matter so much here in the states. I have also noticed that a lot of my Irish friends are Anglophiles, but they still look down on the northerners, one saying “they’re just like Americans.” I thought that was funny, and kind of true. Makes sense, given how many Scots-Irish flooded the colonies in the 18th century. The people who self-identify as ethnic “Americans,” mostly concentrated along the Mason Dixon line, are of Scots-Irish extraction.
In a manner of speaking…
Laura, taking it with a grain of salt is the right attitude. First of all, because in the case of this post, they’re talking about Hollywood celebrities that are being sold and nearly imposed on them as representations of ideal physical beauty.
I like cake. Cake is a nice thing to have occasionally. If however, someone tried to sell me cake as a superfood and derided me for eating anything other than cake, I would be pissed off. So you’re seeing the pissed off reactions of guys who are having cake shoved down their throats as if it was cabbage.
They’re also commenting on the natural results of a cake exclusive diet: weakness/manginaness.
This doesn’t have a whole heck of a lot to do with their selection in real life because most women of marrying age are past their close-to-natural ideal phase, and most of them have also stated quite clearly in the past that they don’t have to have an extreme beauty.
Most women have some level of beauty, but many destroy it in pursut of non ideal ideals, or refusing to age gracefully, or behave gracefully or decently.
Battle cries should not be mistaken for peace time activities.

The model industry (encompassing model-like actors such as Jolie) is pushing beauty standards clearly incompatible with men’s sexual preferences: overly thin, 6-feet tall, man-jawed trannie-lookalikes. Only fetishistic men would masturbate thinking about these ladyboys.
The only conclusion is that the industry is designed to appeal to women, not men. I can see two reasons for this:
1) The ideal that models must be anorexic six-footers creates artificial scarcity. The idea that beauty is very exclusive is appealing to women, compared to the reality that beauty is actually quite abundant among young women (say, ages 17–21). In other words, women want to believe that their sexual competition remains minimal as they age.
2) The ideal that models must have mannish, mature faces is appealing to women, compared to the reality that men actually desire nubile features (again, say, ages 17–21). Again, the image of the looming out-competition is unbearable to aging women.
In short, the model industry sells cognitive dissonance to women; an escape from the ugly truths of the sexual market.

The main use of knowing Irish from my point of view is being able to speak it round foreigners so that they don’t understand what you are saying. Very useful wherever one wants to avoid being taken for English (or American, though this has never happened to SDaedalus, possibly because she doesn’t wear sports shoes when walking round cities on holiday as a general rule)
The SDaedalus form of Irish is somewhat polyglot though, learnt during summer college where one was sent home if one spoke an entire sentence in English; of course it was easy to get round this by inserting one or two Irish words into each sentence. Generally speaking this dialect can only be understood by someone else who had the Gaeltacht summer school experience, fortunately there are a lot of us out there.
I know Belfast is NE, but it’s still pretty close to the NW. I imagine the dialect might be similar. And yes, from my mother’s side I’ve got a heavy dose of Scots-Irish. But I’ve also got Welsh on both sides, and had a Norwegian grandma (from Trondelag). I call myself a European/North Atlantic Islander (as opposed to Asian/Pacific Islander)
That is very interesting. You are definitely from seafaring stock I would say. Norway, Scotland and the North of Ireland are all similar, the people there are all straight out of an Ibsen play (depressive). In Kerry they are more manic (SDaedalus can only take Kerry people in small doses) What do you think you got from the Welsh bit?
The people who self-identify as ethnic “Americans,” mostly concentrated along the Mason Dixon line, are of Scots-Irish extraction.
SDaedalus wonders whether or not the Scots Irish could actually have contributed more to the development of America the world superpower than any other ethnic group. Obviously as a non-American she is not in a position to comment but would be interested to hear views.

Good question about what I got from the Welsh. Probably some kind of aristocratic sensibility, as they were southern patrician types prior to the Civil War, like Thomas Jefferson, who was also Welsh. Ironic that Jefferson became such a radical democrat, considering his origins.
Most definitely. Ever heard of Andrew Jackson? The most aggressively expansionist Americans in the 18th and early 19th century were Scots Irish. They started fighting the Indians, moved on to the Mexicans, and got the ball rolling for manifest destiny.
However, concerning Manifest Destiny, the guy who coined the phrase, John O’Sullivan, had an Irish daddy, so the other Irish were in on it as well. Some Irishmen – veterans of the Civil War – also tried to conquer Canada in the 1860s. They came close to pulling it off.
America is more Celtic than even the names indicate. During the initial settlement, very few English or continental women deigned to go live in the colonies, so most men – including the English and Dutch – took Irish or Scottish wives. Irish and Scottish women in Colonial America therefore served the same role for the male colonists that Indian women did for Spanish men in Mexico.
Not a bad deal, I suppose — some of those Celtic women made pretty good workhorses, and they even scared the Indians off on occasion.
BTW, speaking of Scots Irish, did you know that the term “cracker” comes from “craic?” Or that “hillbilly” comes from supporters of William of Orange back in Ulster? “Jock” and “redneck” have Scottish origins. Funny how many of the terms for rural/white Americans originated in Ireland and Scotland.

Like Mark Twain, they went West. In fact, they ended up in the same exact town – Virginia City Nevada – which also happened to be chock full of Irish at the time (the local church was a “St. Patrick’s”), hence my Kerry ancestry.
Yeah, I think Davy Crockett, but these guys were legion. They spread out all the way from Florida to Oregon territory.
Well, it’s a good question. If you ask me, the only true “WASPs” are the New England yankees, and possibly Mormons (who came from New England originally), but the term generally refers to people of a certain socioeconomic rather than ethnic class. My mother’s mother was of pure Scots Irish descent (she’s actually the most Irish of my grandparents), but her family became quite wealthy and then went to the Episcopalian church, where they took on all the characteristics that people would refer to as “WASP,” including that upper-class New York drawl.
So perhaps WASP isn’t really an ethnic group so much as a class.
I have a Dubliner friend here. He went to Clongowes Wood, just like Joyce. He likes the Pac. NW quite a bit, and just moved down to Portland (from Seattle). I grew up around a fair number of Irish natives, too. My old neighborhood was mostly Irish until the 80s, and San Francisco, where my folks live, still has a fairly large Irish contingent.
It’s worth a visit if you have the time. There are things you’ll see here that you’d never experience in Ireland, and you wouldn’t have much problem at all getting along with people. I’d recommend the West coast if you like natural beauty, but the East Coast if you prefer cultural attractions (although San Francisco is pretty good in that regard as well).

Also, there are ways to walk and sit gracefully. Honestly it doesn’t always come naturally, but much of it can be taught. I do believe the average young woman can greatly increase her attractiveness by following some simple behaviors. Honestly, a lot of women are not very aware of what traits men find attractive.

Fair enough, I don’t sleep with women, so yes, you would know more as far as that aspect of it goes. I am going off of what I observe around me. Some of the crudest women are very feminine looking. I have heard them belch in public, discuss bathroom behaviors, sit with legs uncrossed in dresses, not shave their underarms, chew with their mouth open, talk very loudly in public, etc. I usually stare at them wide-eyed until they notice and shoot me a look of death. I still stand by the ideal of a hybrid in a woman of both strong qualities and soft qualities. It is unrealistic to expect women to be as they were a hundred years ago. There is such a thing as someone who is too dependent and I can’t see how that would be attractive. A woman should be strong but in womanly things such as raising children, defending her home and family, maintaining loyalty, and showing fearlessness in displaying compassion. Extremes never seem to accommodate my own preferences, in either sex, in both looks and behaviors.

My point was, for every guy that doesn’t like a strong jaw line on a woman, there’s one that does. It’s just too subjective. And I’m not arguing against the general good looking standards at which to measure by, just that it varies too much in the nuances, same as it does for women. You guys here lean towards certain beliefs and/or preferences in the hopes that they result in a more feminine woman, I’m saying real life proves otherwise. Too many men go against this belief and admire the women pictured.
I’m also not arguing against stereotypes either, they often tend to prove themselves true, but it goes both ways. A woman is feminine in demeanor, in vulnerability, in softness and in showing love, warmth, and affection. This can often come from a woman with a strong jaw line. There have been major alphas (like the artists I’ve listed) that LOVED strong jaw lines. Again, proving it depends on the guy. I argue not against personal preference, but for all types to be included on the table, since taste varies so much. Some men have soft bellies, or love handles…that to me would say beta, among other things, such as lazy, but they could very well be an alpha. In fact, they could be more alpha than some of the guys who obsess and work out daily. I’m against a definitive attitude, not personal preference.

It means that you’re natural. There are the women you lust after most, and the women you love the most.
Men (should) like different things in hoes and wives. They like hoes to have a more masculine attitude about sex, but feminine women trigger the required protective instincts for love.

I do not reference it for my own convenience, it is a perfect example how culture and art moved to a liking of those angles and softness was disliked and de-valued as a result. Movements come and go. Guys here hate how hard women have become so the pendulum swings to softness again, but in an extreme manner, as movements tend to do. I push, again, for balance of the extremes and pulling from multiple sources and influences to create the ultimate success…..HAPPINESS.

“There is no direct or even indirect correlation between a woman having an angular face, jaw or chin that implies she is of any less feminine heart than that of a “softer” facial structure.”
Actually, there is both a very clear correlation and a causal explanation: One of the most notable effects of virilization resulting from increased testosterone and growth hormone serum levels in the body is a more square, angular jawline. In fact this is one of the ways people are told to spot steroid users, changing to a square jawline in a time that is too short to be the product of a natural transformation via excircise.
Virilizing effects also include a host of other horrible effects on women like coarse and prematurely aged skin, thinner scalp hair, darker voice, more body hair, infertility, psychological problems etc., so it’s really just basic sense to steer clear of them. And of course not all women with a big jaw have them because of virilization, some just have a more powerfull jaw bone genetically – but it’s a clear indicator, especially if other signs of virilization are present as well.
“Not to be rude, but this post is pure nonsense and of all personal and subjective analysis. ”
No, it’s an elegant way of portraying a real problem suitable to understand for most people. What you’re doing is sophistry, that is pseudo-knowledge used to further your own agenda. Or you’re just ignorant.
“Also, a popular gal in these parts, Katy Perry, has quite a pointy and jutting chin, so even your own tastes are inconsistent and based in mood.”
That’s woman logic right there. It’s like saying a would be perfect ten is worthless because she has flabby boobs. Of course a woman who has a bigger than average jaw can be beautiful if it’s not monsterous and all the other things are great. Especially if the jaw is bigger due to denser bone genetics and not excesss hormones, so you won’t have all the other virilizing effects.
“The bone structure of woman (and men) has not much changed in the last 400 years give or take.”
Actually, a very big increase in average height and body size in the Western world and most other places is really well documented in this period. Those large increases are directly linked to hormone levels, and women who have higher levels and grow bigger have more masculine features as well. If you want to know what white women looked like 2-300 years ago, you should probably imagine someone with Caucasian features, but roughly asian in size and build. That includes having a significantly less protruding jawline.

Once again, the same old shit…sooo..let me break it down again:
The first statement I write is that it is impossible to make a concrete connection between a woman’s facial structure and the innocence or femininity of her heart. In other words, you can never tell how a woman would be in love. That can’t be argued against due to the structure of the comment itself. That is specifically why I chose the word heart.
Square jawlines can be linked to several things including what you write about above. So, you are right, which as a man you rely heavily on, but you are only partially right. The have also been around for hundreds of years and this too, has been well documented.
On this part:
(((“Not to be rude, but this post is pure nonsense and of all personal and subjective analysis. ”

–I write an opinion here, never once denying the quality of writing the author puts out consistently in my praises of him in the past. I was challenging the generalization theme being somewhat irresponsible with its being presented as fact and not opinion.
My point is that too many guys dig on angular faces and have for centuries. Also note my use of the word angular and not square jaw. I puled back some on the terms to open it up. Extreme square jaws are a different story. Your so called evidence is based in guessing mostly and is, again, one of the possible causes of angular faces. There are others. I do not believe there are more angular faces then round faces (square jaw vs. round jaw), I believe from what I have been seeing for over a decade with my own eyes, is that there are about the same number of each. Therefore, there is no “epidemic” as many claim for (ironically) their own agendas. This is about certain men pushing their own personal preferences on other men. There are too many guys out there that represent and have other preferences that differ from the opinions of this particular post. Every time someone posts a piece on beauty, there are always conflicting evaluations and banter. Its just too subjective of a topic in the nuances. Hell, even in the obvious sometimes, let alone the many nuances for people. People crave different things.
There is a reason Hollywood and millions alike, have found the women above attractive. Society has been valuing this jaw line and these angles for some time. It will swing back again and the most popular will become something else. Women in the 1950’s were considered the most beautiful if they had soft features. Anything else, even the beloved “exotic” look coveted today by beauty industry was shunned then. Ethnic/exotic is what is hot right now. Times change, and they’ll change again.
ok…what else? you said this:
(((“Also, a popular gal in these parts, Katy Perry, has quite a pointy and jutting chin, so even your own tastes are inconsistent and based in mood.”
That’s woman logic right there. It’s like saying a would be perfect ten is worthless because she has flabby boobs.

-wow. got that point wrong. I think she’s fantastic. I was saying that some opinions have been and will continue to be (out of convenient thought and memory I presume) inconsistent. The other irony to this statement is I have a chin similar to Katy’s but not a square jaw line (did as a kid, have outgrown it and have long, tiny jaw) but was told that I have a “man chin” due to its pointedness (or boney-ness) and also due to the huge ass dimple in it. Anyhow, I was not cutting on Katy Perry in any way. You actually argue my point for me but more thoroughly.
I feel it unnecessary for you to have phrased your differing opinion to mine in the way that you have. You could have said simply that you disagree with me and given me the reasons why, no? Was I attacking or aggressive in my comment? Was I insulting? Do I hate on men in any way?
It is fact in art history that the standard of beauty or what was admired and sought after has changed from soft to hard to soft to hard, etc. It is well documented so I am not bringing it into the thread riding a personal agenda. I had knowledge that I knew and it challenged this post a bit, so I offered it up. Simple as that.
