Square jaw admirers should pay attention to advertising from eyeglasses companies. It is almost a mandatory requirement for this kind of product ads to feature models with heavy, square facial structures. Why ? Because strongly structured faces look much better with object ornament like glasses than would thin faces and the disproportionately small and underdeveloped appearance they would project . Broad faces allow all kind of glasses shapes and sizes while still looking cool.
Here is an advertising that I just spotted:
Aren't those lips, stretched horizontally by the large bone structure adorable ? Do you notice how the lower lip is brought forward by the slightly prognathic chin ? Do you feel how such a salient jaw can give the person this superior, almost arrogant look, without the slightest bit of effort ?
This is a face, with an above average bone structure development and jaw box.

Perhaps the square jawed
Perhaps the square jawed look of the model has more to do with the modelling agencies and the types of women that are typical in the modelling world? Just a thought. I'm not sure if eyeglass models are chosen for their jaws or simply because they may be better looking than the other models...
The model is more appealing in the first photo where her features are more defined (based upon the angle).
I think her face is
I think her face is beautiful. Im not crazy about her nose and eyebrows. Her nose could use slight narrowing and I think thinner or lighter eyebrows would look good.
She looks pretty good, very sophisticated.
Could use some slight
Could use some slight narrowing? you mean you think she should be a nose job?
....
I hold the view that
I hold the view that different face shapes have a different beauty and while big glasses may flatter one face or be flattering itself. On another face it may not be flattering or would not flatter that face.
That is just my view. For me a well defined jaw line is more important than a big one...which can look awkward. I mentioned several times that I don' like big jaw muscles, especially on women, but angles can be very flattering. It just depends on the rest of the features.
I tend not to like big jaws
I tend not to like big jaws on women but there are some women that can still be attractive even with a pronounced jaw line. I tend to go for the smaller more feminine jaw but this is not featured much on models.
yes, I think the way people
yes, I think the way people generally tend to see women with broad jaws and glasses as more attractive than those with small faces and glasses is a proof of how we generally associate big jaws with power, but it also proves how most people associate big jaws with masculinity.
We all know that despite all the emancipation, it's a statistically proven fact that the more education a woman has, the less likely she is to get married...meaning, for most men it's still seen as socially unacceptable-if only on a subconscious level- for a womaan to have the same level of power and knowledge as a man.
of course, I could be just blowing things out of proportion..
There is probably some truth
There is probably some truth to what you say.
However, it is not simply a case of associating big jaws with masculinity...it is. Testosterone is one big factor. That is not to say that if a woman has a big jaw she automatically has more testosterone than a regular woman, but it is likely the case.
In terms of education, it is not simply a case of a man not wanted a highly educated woman, but rather, a highly educated woman does not want a man with less education! Women do not like to 'marry down'. There are exceptions of course, but it is usually not the ideal for a woman (i.e. a female doctor would prefer a male doctor but may marry a lab technician simply because no male doctors are available. It is not her ideal choice. Many simply refuse to marry if they can't find 'someone on their level').
Generally speaking, a well educated man has a larger pool of candidates whereas the opposite is true of a well educated woman...but it is largely (if subconsciously) self-imposed. Many women will simply not marry if they view their options as 'too low'.
Also, factor in that a career woman is likely to consider marriage at a later age...in her 30s. Most of her less well-educated female colleagues have already married...and they likely married equal or up...meaning the well educated, and now older, woman has fewer prospects (since she won't marry down).
Basically, there are more women with degrees now than men. There is a large pool of 'unmarriageable' men...essentially men with lower levels of education and employment. Women are increasingly viewing them as 'unworthy'. There is a large pool of well educated, career driven women who are not necessarily 'unmarriageable' but who, whether consciously or not, have chosen to avoid 'less desirable' prospects.
I don't see this changing anytime soon. Women may 'bite the bullet' and 'marry down' but most will simply refuse...and continue to look for 'suitable' candidates that will have far more prospects (younger, better looking women).
I think with the
I think with the increasingly high divorce rates, many educated women are making better choices as to who they want to marry and for what reasons. They select much more carefully and with a lot more intuition than less educated women.
Women who are career driven, in many cases, are not just looking for a man with money and a career because all things a man equal or up can do for them they can do it for themselves: car, house, jewelry.
Women with more education who have good income look for factors that exceed money and looks. Personality is also key to a great selection along with attractiveness.
In fact a lot of women who married young later end up regretting their decisions because all the decision making for the family ends up in the hands of the one who has the greater number of dollars in the end. Though when one is young and attractive the best prospect is a richer, older man with a stable career, when one grows older and looks back at her life and a lot of other lost opportunities for personal growth, the depression sets in even if she is living in a nice house and has two or three children.
Educated career women who have entered into their thirties don't want to marry just for the sake of marrying. Their lives and characters and sense of selves tend to be more established and don't have the fairy tale notion of marriage that women do when they are younger. So they won't view not marrying as something tragic or as a lost opportunity; they either get what they want or it simply doesn't work. Though they haven't married, they have presumably dated and met enough men to know the varieties out there and know WHAT WORKS FOR THEM.
