Researchers keep finding the same thing: your looks move everything, from what you earn to who says yes.

Earn more

Above-average looks earn about 5% more than average, and plain earns 5–10% less. Across the range that is a 10–15% spread.

Hamermesh & Biddle (1994), American Economic Review

IZA World of Labor (2023), review of US and Canadian estimates

It compounds for decades

Men rated attractive at 18 were still earning more in their mid-30s and early 50s, after controlling for IQ, personality, confidence and family background.

Scholz & Sicinski (2015), Review of Economics and Statistics

Wisconsin Longitudinal Study, 10,317 participants tracked from 1957

More callbacks, sooner

Identical resumes, different photos: attractive applicants got 36% more callbacks and were contacted earlier. In a separate market, attractive men hit a 19.9% callback rate against 9.2% for no photo at all.

López Bóo, Rossi & Urzúa (2013), Economics Letters

Ruffle & Shtudiner (2015), Management Science

Better jobs, not just better pay

Fifteen years after graduation, attractive MBAs were 52.4% more likely to hold prestigious roles, worth $2,508 a year on average and $5,528 in the top decile. The effect was largest in client-facing work and smallest in engineering.

The metrics

Every line means something.

No vibes, no "aura score." This is the measurement layer under looksmaxxing: every metric has a definition, a male reference range, and a confidence interval. Tap any line on your face to see where you land.

Canthal tilt

The angle of your eyes. The metric everyone argues about; we just measure it.

Face shape → plan

Seven face shapes. Your numbers pick one.

Face length and width at forehead, cheekbones, and jaw classify your shape. But shape is only the first input. Forehead share, hairline pattern, jaw to cheekbone ratio, and beard coverage all bend the plan, so it comes from the intersection, and the intersection is almost never generic.

Hair

Cuts matched to your geometry, with the reasoning attached, not generic "trendy haircuts for men."

Round face
Height on top, tight sides
Oblong face
Fuller sides, less height up top
Big upper third
A fringe to shorten the forehead

Beard

Adjustable jaw surgery that costs nothing, all driven by your jaw-to-cheekbone number.

Narrow jaw
Fullness at the sides to widen it
Round face
Vertical emphasis to lengthen it
Strong square jaw
Keep it to stubble, don't bury the feature

One combination, worked out

Round + Tall forehead + Temple recession + Narrow jaw + Patchy beard

Hair
Textured French crop: #2 fade on the sides, 5 to 7cm of texture up top, cut to fall forward. Height lengthens a round face; tight sides keep the width honest. Ask your barber for exactly this: "French crop, skin fade to a two, keep the fringe heavy."
Forehead
The crop's forward fringe is doing double duty: it shortens a tall upper third and covers the temples, one cut solving two findings. Avoid anything slicked back or high-volume; both expose exactly what this cut hides. Style with matte clay, not pomade, since shine draws the eye up.
Beard
Heavy stubble, 3 to 4mm, uniform. At stubble length, patchiness reads as texture instead of gaps. Growing longer to "fill it in" does the opposite. Fade the cheek line low and keep whatever side density you have: on a narrow jaw those flanks are load-bearing.
Jaw
The stubble's side fullness adds visual width where your 0.83 ratio wants it. Skip the chin-strap and goatee families entirely, since anything that strips the sides narrows you further.
Hairline
Temple recession caught early is the most treatable finding on this card, but every option holds hair better than it regrows it, which makes this a now conversation, not a someday one. Minoxidil and finasteride are what the doctor will walk you through; the appointment is the todo.

Generic advice is written for a shape. Yours is written for a coordinate.

ASCNDED

Facial analysis for men. Measurement, not insecurity.

Before/after images are illustrative. Results vary. ascnded provides facial measurements against published aesthetic conventions and reference ranges. It is not medical, psychological, or surgical advice, and no measurement here is a judgment of your worth. Results vary with photo conditions; confidence intervals are shown for a reason. 18+.
