Male Attractiveness Test (2026)
Built for the guy who wants a number before he posts the photo. The male attractiveness test runs the same scan as the main tool — 17 facial-geometry measurements plus your Face Score percentile. This page is the reading guide for men: the measurements that use male reference ranges (FWHR, jaw taper, chin, brow) plus canthal tilt, and what in a photo moves each one. Score in 10 seconds, decide in 30.
The 17 metrics — what matters most for guys
Every attractiveness-test variant on RealSmile runs the same scan: 17 landmark-based measurements — symmetry, FWHR, facial thirds, midface ratio, canthal tilt, eye shape, brow arch, nose, lip, philtrum and chin proportions, jaw taper and more — plus your Face Score percentile. Nothing is re-weighted for this page. The table below is a reading guide: the measurements worth a closer look for guys, and what moves each reading in a photo.
| Metric | What to know |
|---|---|
| Jaw Taper (V-Shape) | Jaw width against cheekbone width. The male reference range is 0.72–0.85 — a moderate taper with a strong jaw (the female range is 0.62–0.75). Face the camera square-on at eye level so both jaw corners are found cleanly. |
| FWHR (facial-width-to-height ratio) | Face width over upper-face height, read against a male range of 1.85–2.1 (the female range is 1.65–1.85). A wider face tends to read as more dominant, which is not the same thing as more attractive. Camera pitch changes the height term, so keep the lens at eye level. |
| Canthal Tilt | The angle from the inner to the outer eye corner. The score rises with more positive tilt (outer corners higher), placed against the people who scan here. Averaging both eyes cancels head roll, so a tilted head does not bias it. |
| Chin Proportion | Chin height as a share of the lower face. The male reference range is 32–42% (the female range is 28–38%). A low camera angle foreshortens the lower face; an eye-level lens and a slightly forward chin give the truest read. |
| Brow-Eye Proximity | The gap between brow and eye. The male reference range sits closer than the female one. It is driven mostly by brow grooming and expression — raising your brows widens it — not by the brow-ridge bone, which a front photo cannot see. |
Prefer to compare yourself with friends rather than with a benchmark? The mog rating scores everyone in one group photo. The same scan also has a reading guide for Korean beauty standards: the KBS test relates jaw taper, midface and eye shape to the traits Korean beauty discussions cite, and says which traits the scan cannot measure.

What each score band means for guys
The scan returns your Face Score, a 1–99 percentile. The score is the same one the main test gives — here is how to read it in four bands for guys.
| Band | What it typically reflects |
|---|---|
| Top band85–99 | Top-band male photos sit near the top of the Face Score, which comes from a model fitted to human ratings, with the photo conditions working for you. Use this shot as your dating-app lead and your LinkedIn headshot. What is left is grooming and outfit, not feature changes. |
| High band70–84 | High-band male photos sit one band under the top, and near the upper edge of the band a second photo of the same face can land on either side of that line. Take two more photos with the camera at eye level, on different days if you can, and compare them — a retake changes the photo, not your face. |
| Mid band50–69 | Mid-band is the middle of the range. Before reading it as your face, rule out the photo: a low-angle camera shortens the lower face, a tilted head skews the face, and both change what the scan sees. Fix the camera angle first. |
| Low band1–49 | A low band is worth re-checking before you believe it. A tilted head or a low camera angle can change what the scan reads — take two more photos straight-on at eye level, on different days if you can, and compare the readings. Across all the photos one person takes on the same day, the gap between their highest and lowest Face Score is a median of 11 points, and for a third of people it is 20 or more. |
Male attractiveness test — FAQ
What is a good attractiveness score for guys?
Read the Face Score first: it is a percentile against 1,566 human-rated benchmark faces, so 50 is their median and 90+ is the top decile. The metric scores in the full report are separate numbers: each says where one measurement sits among the people who scan here (50 is the median scanner), not how attractive you are. Before treating a low Face Score as your face, take two more photos, on different days if you can, and compare them — across all the photos one person takes on the same day, the gap between their highest and lowest Face Score is a median of 11 points, and for a third of people it is 20 or more.
Does the male attractiveness test only measure jawline?
No. It runs the same 17 measurements as the main test — symmetry, FWHR, facial thirds, midface ratio, canthal tilt, eye shape, brow arch, brow-eye proximity, nose, lip, philtrum and chin proportions, jaw taper and more — plus your Face Score. FWHR, jaw taper, chin and the brow readings use male reference ranges when you select Male in the scan.
How do I improve my male attractiveness score?
Mostly, what changes between scans is the photo — across all the photos one person takes on the same day, the gap between their highest and lowest Face Score is a median of 11 points, and for a third of people it is 20 or more. For a clean, comparable read: (1) camera at eye level, never below; (2) head level and square to the camera; (3) a relaxed, neutral expression with your lips gently closed. The structural measurements themselves do not change with practice.
Is the test biased toward a "Hollywood" male ideal?
No — the metrics are landmark-derived angles and ratios, not aesthetic templates, and none is compared with a celebrity photo. The report scores every metric your photo supports on its own, and none of them feeds the Face Score. The Face Score comes from a model fitted to human ratings of 1,566 benchmark faces, mostly young and mostly East Asian, so it reflects how those faces were rated, not a Hollywood template.
How does this compare to looksmaxxing apps?
Looksmax-style apps keep your photo on their server and push subscription paywalls. Our male attractiveness test runs in your browser on desktop (on mobile the photo is processed in memory and deleted instantly — nothing is kept unless you choose to save it), and the $14.99 report and the $19.99 / $49 audits are one-time; Pro ($3.99/week) is the only recurring option, and it’s optional. The free scan measures the same 17 metrics as the paid tiers.
