    Pictured above are three images of skulls, the outer two having been edited by me to represent two extremes in development. The left skull is meant to be most robust, the right skull is meant to be least robust, and the middle is the source image, representing the everyman. The most significant variable being modified between these is the splanchocranium width (also its forward projection, but that isn't necessarily visualized from this angle).

    Here are also some morphs that I think can help visualize the differences in development.

    It's important to keep in mind this is not necessarily about face shape, while more robust does typically entail greater facial width, facial height can vary, therefore facial index can vary as well.
    Also please correct me if there is misinformation or inaccuracy in my post.

    Generally robust because generally my brain perceives those faces as more masculine.

    My wife is very gracile. I'm very robust (not a big fan of my big Celtic head).

    usually gracile, there is however a minority of facially robust women who can be hot. But they usually have however a lot of gracile features though. So a meso/endo morphic woman with a very squarre build is a huge turn off for me.

    Robust, preferably. For both sexes.
    My face is very robust/intermediate for a woman. I've always liked that. I've never found gracile features particularly attractive. I can't explain why.

    I prefer female with gracile and roundish faces because they are more feminine. And they also age better.

    I've never heard this, as far as I know, it's the opposite. For example: a low gonial angle and long mandible keeps the submental skin taught, and a robust infraorbital/upper cheekbone area results in less under eye bags and sagging.

    Then why mongoloid age better?
    They are known for gracile facial features
