Short philtrum or long philtrum?

[shlayer]

Lets settle this once and for all like we settled compact midface theory, whats better for a male?short philtrum or long philtrum? Imo long philtrum if your midface is short and short philtrum if your midface is on the long side.

Most good looking guys have normal lengthed philtrums 


For pretty boys, short philtrum is ideal though

That doesn't mean that it makes them good looking, they just happen to have it

ultimately depends on ur chin size.

1:2 ratio is good imo or a bit above.. some ppl say 1:25 tho

Actually a lower third that is on the longer side is ideal and for a lot of men a short philtrum looks off. An average philtrum should be fine and never throw off facial harmony. Especially if you have good chin

Look at that long philtrum

 

[Veuve]

almost anyone with a long philtrum would look better if it were shorter so

I would say a short philtrum with a tall chin for a longer lower third is ideal, O'Pry's philtrum is very nice for example 
Now if the philtrum were very short then yes I agree it would look wierd, 13-14 mm is golden

That chart is not BS. It was a properly performed study, whereas your observation is a lousy, confirmation biases' and defenses' distorted meaningless output. My philtrum is about 16-17, yet it looks like 20mm at least due to upturned nose causing the optical elongation. If the face is balanced, you are less likely to notice the illusion causing the certain distance to appear shorter or longer than what it actually is.
