How to Spot a Psychopath?
Measure their head: Men with wider faces are more likely to have psychopathic tendencies

Having a wider face has been linked with higher levels of attraction and aggression, and now research has suggested it may also be a sign of psychopathy.

A study of students and prison inmates found that men with a higher facial width-to-height ratio were more likely to exhibit what’s known as ‘self-centred impulsivity’.

They also showed signs of ‘fearless dominance’ as well as a tendency to blame other people for problems.

Self-centred impulsivity is a category of traits including Machiavellian egocentricity and is the tendency to consider only personal needs, with a disregard for the interests of anyone else.

Those high in self-centred impulsivity also tend to neglect the social norms and regulations that the rest of us live by.

Fearless dominance, meanwhile, includes a tendency to embrace risk without any fear, showing limited reaction to awful events that would make the rest of us panic – combined with a tendency to appear charming and influential.

Although this study finds a correlation, the researchers stress that it doesn’t mean all men with wide faces have psychopathic tendencies.

The facial width to height ratio (fWHR) is worked out by measuring the horizontal distance between the outer edges of the cheekbones and the vertical distance from the highest point of the top lip to the highest point of the eyelids.

The width is then divided by the height.

For the study, the researchers asked 96 adult male university students and 41 male prisoners at a young offenders institution to complete a standard questionnaire that psychologists use to measure psychopathic traits.

Known as the Psychopathic Personality Inventory-Revised (PPI-R) test, it creates a total psychopathy score (PPI-R total) and studies fearless dominance, self-centered impulsivity, and coldheartedness.

Following the questionnaire, the men were asked to sit with their faces on a chin-rest, while their photographs were taken.

The researchers measured the men’s fWHRs from these photos and correlated the results with their questionnaire answers.

No the bone structure has more to do with testosterone. Plenty of women and feminine men have wide faces.

Jon Hamm is quite unlikely to have less testosterone than Al Capone for example.

Another discriminating stereotype for wide faced men.

Wide faces are naturally superior.

Naturality must be distorted as much as possible for everyone who is surviving with unjust.

Genetic losers rationalizing the fact that men with larger faces forced them into their lockers in HS and can put them into the trash compactor at any given moment.

I said large faces specifically. Faces that are both wide and long are the most masculine, particularly if the lower third is well-developed and if the face are angular and the bones and facial muscles are prominent.

Masculine face is both wider and longer, sharper and more chiseled




Another characteristic of masculine faces is that their bone structure is relatively wide compared to the midface. They are wide, but don't look compact, like Zach Galifinakis' face is.

Except that Casandrinos said "wide faces are naturally superior" which is the comment that you quoted and agreed upon. Basically what a masculine face is has more to do with proportions, bone structure, fat, rather than just width.

Ron Perlmans face is far more long than it is wide, hardly anyone describes his face as feminine or in any way non-masculine.
