PSL / PSL SCALE (for males in general foids will be excluded JFL)
The Psl Scale is one of the most important factors if you want to analyse someones beauty by mere numbers --> a Scale, I will cover the surface of the PSL scale
Disclaimer: Never use the PSL scale to solely rate someone for their looks as in one binary definition of someones beauty, it is a literal underestimation for such a important factor, for instance appeal needs to be evaluated aswell in order to achieve a adequate rating of someones facial aesthetics
The PSL term itself is a acronym for 3 defunct forums: PUAhate, Sluthate and Lookism
The PSL scale itself reaches from a 0 (Subhuman) to a 8 (Terra Stacy/Chad) and for there is no number 9 to 10 to be found, the number 4 serves as the medium of the scale, for a accurate result of someones PSL Scale measurement you simply calculate his PSL but then add up 1.5 to 1.75 Points
Different Aspects of facial beauty
Eye Area
One of the most important factors to determine someones beauty often in contrast to the jaw / lower third area, Could either be your ascension or curse
Eye Shape
a major points in the eye structure, to be measured as in an aspect; The Eye width should be ideally three times the height of the eye, the Term Palbebral Fissure length in short PFL is the adequate measurement for what ive just mentioned, it is also to be noticed that the medial canthus (inner corner of the eye) should be well proportionally defined, also worth to mention is that its considered as attractive when the eye has: Straight upper eyelid, a tighter lower eyelid with preferably no visible sclera (the white part of your eyeball)
Canthal Tilt
The Canthal tilt defines the angle from the inner eye corner to the outer eye corner, ideally the range should be 5 to 7 Degrees, anything above will give off uncanny looks, anything below or negative will result in an tired and non youthful look
Eye Brows
The Eyebrows are a vital part of your entire Eye areas assessment, one of the most simple softmaxxing steps with incredible boosting in terms of looks, well maintained eyes should be dense, dark coloured and thick as they are a health sign, For men it is ideally to be very low set showing no vertical space between the eyes and the eyebrows, additionally it is generally also important that the eye brows need to be positively tilted as it exhibits the same reason for eyes do
Upper Eyelid Exposure
It is preferred for both genders to have very low upper eyelid exposure as high UEE may result in a tired look
Eye Depth
Deep set eyes are crucial in masculine aesthetics often accompanied with a strong brow ridge in contrast to bulging eyes deep set eyes are often in correlation to protection
Orbital Bones
Bones define everything even your eye area, preferably a well bonemass is required to avoid a result of unhealthy looking eyebags or dark circle, The under eye support is crucial for an overall rating of the eye area
Eye Colouring and Lashes
While often perceived as subjective the Eye colouring such as blue eyes brown eyes etc are important for colouring and contrast, Long eyelashes also are important for the frame and can fraud your PFL making it seem longer
Nose
Nose Angle
These often range depending from race or environment where as Asians exhibit a range of 106 to 130 degrees of the Nasofrontal Angle, For men it is ideally that the Nasofrontal angle is to be sharper, the nasolabial angle ranging in average from 90 to 117 degrees is often required to be a more pronounced angle for a masculine appearance worth to mention is also the Nasofacial angle which typically ranges from 30 to 40 degrees, it indicates normal alignment and facial convexity, the calculation of a nasofacial angle requires alot more effort than other compounds of the nose
Nose Shape
The Nose Shape cannot be accurately defined into one simple definition since it varies across phenotypes and races but ultimately it is preferred for a slendered nose widening towards the end is in general the most preferred one, Minimal Nostril visibility and low upturn from the front are considered to be ideal, neither should it appear as bulbous shaped and its width should fit between the eyes
The Jaw
Jawline
A absolute must, it should be visible but not to protruding indicating bite alignment issues, high body fat also hides or reduces jaw line visibility
Ramus
a Long ramus is a ideal trait very important for side and front in correlation to masculine dimorphism
Jaw Angle
A Sharp gonial should lie within the Optimal range of 112 to 123 degrees it is associated with the jawline visibility and depending if the angle is to low or high it can impact the jawline visibility resulting in a less attractive jawline
Bigonial Width
The Lower part of the jaw The gonions, the Bigonial width measures the distance between these two and should ideally range between 85 percent to 93 percent to the width of the cheekbones, Narrow or to wide Bigonial widths significantly impact facial aesthetics and hold back
Mandible
The Mandible aka the jaw itself should not exceed to strong of a forward growth, a ideal length of the mandible should be 5:7 of ramus to mandible length
Chin
The Chin should ideally be 2 to 2.5 in height of the Philtrum vertically, the Chin should also be in harmony with the facial harmony to avoid protrusion or excessive sizing
jaw Frontal Angle
The Jaw Frontal angle shouldn't be to flat or too steep in men, a ideal range is to be noted within 84 to 97 degrees, in order to hold the facial harmony the ipsilateral alar angle should be within 15 degrees of this angle, ideally being 0 to 5 degrees
The Lips
Lip thickness
Nothing much to say about it Lips should always be thick but not too thick
Cupids Bow
The Cupid Bow should be well defined in pair with an upward curved Philtrum to be counted as essential
Lip Sealing
The Lip shape ranges differently from person and person race to race and so on, a straight lip seal is preferred in general
Lip width
the Lip width should be ideally 1.42 to 1.56 wider than the Nose width, the Nose and Lip width are in correlation to another and important factors in facial harmony, the lips vertical height also should be 1.5 to 2 times greater than the upper lip
Side Profile of the Lip
In terms of the side profile view, the upper lip should slightly extend beyond the lower lip, in terms of the nasomenlal line or the E line, ideally the upper Lip should rest a bit further back behind compared to the lower lip tho
FACIAL HARMONY
While being a little more distinct from the PSL scale itself the idea of Harmony is more about the proportions of the face rather than mere facial features like the PSL scale does, In the following I will explain the various components of the concept of harmony
The Facial Thirds
as in the name described the face will be divided into 3 Horizontal thirds ideally the three should cover up 1/3 of the face per third, The Forehead can be accounted for one third as for the Mid face is another third but for the lower third aka the "jaw area" it will be taken as another third, for Men a lower third SLIGHTLY larger than the other thirds do not oppose any problems
Facial Symmetry
Key Aspect in determining someones facial attractivity it is preferred to be high but not too high as a high symmetry often results in an uncanny appearance for the general of people, Many models exhibit slight facial asymmetry but it really doesnt affect their attractiveness since it is not too strong or present on important parts like the eyes nose and the mouth
Midface ratio
The mid face ratio is to be defined within the space of your pupils and the height of your mid face ideally the midface ratio should lie within 0.95 to 1, longer could result in a oblong facial appearance
the Facial width to height ratio
A high FWHR is considered to be an attractive traitor men, in average the ratio ranges in 1.9 to 2.05, so in contrast a lower FWHR will result in a more visually longer looking face, Too compact or less compact will impact the persons attractiveness
Bitemporal width
it is the relation of the jaw to forehead width ideally it should be equally but for instance If the forehead is to wide it may result in a more narrow looking jaw visually and in a more "lightbulb" shaped head generally less attractive
Cheekbones
The Cheekbones are a universal trait considered to be attractive as wide for both genders, often tho low excessively developed cheekbones will result in a more melting appearing face, in average the men tends to have less zygomatic bone appearance in comparison to woman, but due to men having more prominent jaws brow ridges and noses the cheekbones will appear less prominent in the face
Skin Hair Health and Colouring
While often disregarded as a miscellaneous trait in the face a for instance horrible skin will severely impact your attractiveness as it is also to be viewed as a important health sign in someone, Skin creases and acne for example are a severe impact on someones attractiveness giving a less youthful look or a sick tired look, the skin should be equally same coloured and ideally shouldn't be pale or yellowish, the Eye aswell should be fully white and no signs of red veins or any yellowish colouring, The Hair aswell should ideally be more darker as it is often a attractive trait for Men, Thick and minimal recessed hair indicate strong health
But keep in mind the PSL scale is objective and does not include the SMV/Appeal
FACIAL RATIOS
I will cover up the facial ratios again in their own category to exclusively name ideal ratios
FWHR Ideally Should be 1.8 and higher
The FWHR is measured by dividing the bizygomatic width by the height of the middle part of the eyebrow to the upper lip
Lower / Full face ratio ideally should be 0.62+ and higher
Measured by dividing the height between the nation to the bottom of the chin by the face height
Midface Ratio ideally should be 1.0 to 1.1
measured by dividing the interpupillary distance by the height of the nasion to the upper lip
Mouth to nose ratio should ideally be 1.5 to 1.62
measured by dividing the width of the mouth by the width of the nose
lower to upper lip ratio ideally should be 1.62
measured by dividing the height of the lower lip to the upper lip
Chin to Philtrum ratio ideally should be 2.0 to 2.25
it is measured by dividing the height of the middle part of the lips to the bottom of the chin by the height of the bottom of the nose to the middle part of the lips
Bizygomatic to bigonial width ideally should be 1.35
it is measured by dividing the bizygomatic width by the bigonial width
Eye separation ratio ideally should be 0.45 to 0.47
measured by dividing the inter pupillary distance by the bizygomatic width
Eye Mouth angle ideally should be 47 to 50 degrees
measured by calculating the angle of the vertex at the centre of the lips with arms connecting the eye pupil
cervicomental angle ideally should be 105 to 120 degrees
measured by calculating the angle being at the hyoid, one arm should be at the neck and one at the chin
gonial angle ideally should be 115 to 130 degrees
measured by calculating the angle if one arm is set along the mandible vertically and one at the ramus horizontically
Canthal tilt ideally should be 4 to 6 degrees
Inner eye corner (medial cantos) to the outer eye corner with the arms being parallel to the floor and the lateral canthus
palpebral fissure length to height ratio 3.0 to 3.5
measured by dividing the PFL by the height of the lower and upper eyelid
forehead head ideally should be 3 fingers
Facial fifths ideally should be 1/5 ear to ear width EACH
ARCHETYPES
I will list 4 archetypes I consider to be important
Facial Harmony
In short this is a concept where every feature is in balance to each other, for example a good harmony is when the Bigonial width and the zygomatic width is ideal, non harmonious would be if the bigonial width / the gonions were inward hence a lower harmony, the features must compliment each other
The Appeal
The Appeal is rather a subjective rating rather than objective, it includes factors like Height Hair Frame Pretty features Clothing and what not, High Appeal is very important as in literally the definition is to be "appealing", the most simple answer on how to appeal max is just to inform yourself to Societies latest standards, for instance a Taper haircut is more appealing nowadays than a mullet is

The PSL term itself is a acronym for 3 defunct forums: PUAhate, Sluthate and Lookism
The PSL scale itself reaches from a 0 (Subhuman) to a 8 (Terra Stacy/Chad) and for there is no number 9 to 10 to be found, the number 4 serves as the medium of the scale, for a accurate result of someones PSL Scale measurement you simply calculate his PSL but then add up 1.5 to 1.75 Points
| PSL SCORE | Definition | Notice | Rarity |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7.75 to 8 score | Terra Stacy / Chad | Impossible to reach as of now, to be in this category you should be by definition the literal most perfect person to walk on earth, everything MUST be perfect, Only Mythical/Fictional Figures have achieved this rating (often to be debated but nearest thing to this is Hexum and Mazza) | 1 in the entirety of humanity |
| 7.25 to 7.75 score | Giga Stacy / Chad | The Epitome of Human Lookism, widely recognized and praised for their looks, minimal flaws such as nose shapes eye hooding for example, very rare to be found and non concentrated across the globe | 1 in 8 million |
| 6 to 7.25 score | Chad / Stacy | apart of the generals society but easily standing out of the crowd in general, very high Sexual Market Value | 1 in 153 thousands |
| 5.5 to 6 score | Chadlite / Stacylite | Noticeable attractive people often in advantage for simply due to their looks, potential substance for modelling or often seen in social media activities | 1 in 4500 thousand |
| 4.5 to 5.5 score | High tier Normie / Beckie | Common but quite uncommon, it could be the most handsome guy/girl in your class or that one goodlooking coworker people always talk about, defined as goodlooking and handsome | 1 in 92 |
| 3 to 4.5 score | Mid tier Normie / Beckie | Painfully average you are probably one aswell, confronted by them daily and nothing special, they are simply the most common out of all | 1 in 2 |
| 1.5 to 3 score | Low tier Normie / Beckie | may face slight issues due to their looks although not a big problem, they are considered as unattractive in general but nothing serious | 1 in 7 |
| 0.25 to 1.5 score | SUBHUMAN  | Bottom scum of society, people who get bullied they often are simply deformed / retarded, noticeably ugly and often simply get no chance of approach at all because of their looks | 1 in 2000 |
