symmetrical your face, is this true?

Is it true if I were to relax my neck muscles, relax my jaw and let it hang but have my mouth closed with my tongue resting at the bottom of my mouth and my eyes fixed forward in a stare that in about 2 to 3 months my face could get more symmetrical? And by chewing more often on the side of my face with the smaller jaw muscle help too?

If that's not true can you help me out with some advice?

And is it true that if I eat healthier and drink water it will help as well?

    Symmetry equals sex

    Starting at conception, the human body develops by neatly splitting cells. If every division were to go perfectly, the result would be a baby whose left and right sides are mirror images. But nature doesn't work that way. Genetic mutations and environmental pressures skew symmetry, and the results have lifelong implications.

    Studies revealed that men who were more symmetrical started having sex three to four years earlier and had more sex partners than their asymmetrical counterparts.

    Good symmetry shows that an individual has the genetic goods to survive development, is healthy, and is a good and fertile choice for mating.

    It makes sense to use symmetry variation in mate choice. If you choose a perfectly symmetrical partner and reproduce with them, your offspring will have a better chance of being symmetric and able to deal with perturbations.

    The beauty of symmetry

    Can your looks be measured by a mathematical ratio? Studies show that "beautiful" people actually are just "more proportional" people

    Everyone knows the adage "Don't judge a book by its cover." But we can't help it; we do just that, day in and day out, consciously and subconsciously. We rate others on the basis of their appearance and compare our own looks with the enhanced images of beautiful women and handsome men in movies and magazines and on TV and billboards

    Widespread studies confirm that beauty is simply balance: The more symmetrical a face, the more appealing it appears. The concept applies to bodies, too. Physical symmetry is subconsciously perceived as a reflection of a person's youth, fertility, health and strength. And although bilateral (left-right) symmetry might not be a bona fide health certificate these days, it has been a marker of good health and genes throughout human evolution.

    Not everyone seeking symmetry goes under the knife Creating symmetry is all about using light, dark and reflection.essential points of light on the face by mixing Vaseline with eye shadow and foundation. Light can soften the face, give it dimension and make it look more moist. If you want to take 10 years off your age, try a foundation with shimmer or just put a light-reflective cream on your crow's-feet.

    The results showed that facial symmetry in men, but not women, was linked to the effects of ageing on mental processes.

    Examples of men with a high degree of facial symmetry include the actors George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Jude Law

    Questionnaires revealed that men who were more symmetrical started having sex three to four years earlier and had more sex partners than their asymmetrical counterparts.

    Men with symmetrial faces are less likely to lose their intelligence and memory in later life, according to researchers.

    Facial symmetry, the researchers argued, may indicate a man has experienced fewer genetic and environmental disturbances such as diseases, toxins, malnutrition or genetic mutations during his development

    The team was unable to find comparable results in women.

    One explanation suggested by the researchers was that DNA has a different effect on ageing among women. Another theory was that mental decline is delayed in women because, on average, they live longer

    We have found that someone's face can send out a wealth of signals about what they are like. We have also found a remarkable consistency in people’s preferences for faces

    A person's health might be reflected in their facial symmetry. Symmetry reflects the ability to grow straight despite all of life's challenges, including infection and stress. Symmetrical faces are good all round: they are considered beautiful, they have betterlooking skin, and symmetrical people even smell nicer

    How Symmetrical Is My Face

  • 1 decade ago

    Having a symmetrical face is considered a sign of beauty in most cultures and here is why: when the body is under stress (or malnutrition and things like that), the last thing it wories about is growth. So the idea is that a person who has a symmetrical face was strong enough to conquer all bad situations life threw at him or her, thus must have awesome genes and so we think he/she is cute (actually our genes tell us we want to mate with them because of their good genes)

    So basically, if you're young enough, you *could* help your growth by trying to eat healthy and drink a lot of water, try to reduce stress and things like that.

    But on the other hand, if you have crappy genes, it'll be hard to change that by food...

    Conclusion: be healthy, be relaxed, but don't fixate on it too much. Besides, there is no such thing as a perfect symmetry in a face...

    Source(s): My psychology class (the theory is just one of many tho, it's not 100% sure that this is the reason we like symmetrical faces)
