Why is a protruding nose considered more attractive than a flat one?

Facial symmetry is something you might want to look into. Though ultimately beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What I may find attractive you may find repulsive.

I think the nose is a matter of opinion. I have a pointy nose and think that flat ones are more attractive! As far as jawline, I think that society finds that more attractive as the jawline usually shows on people that are thin/in shape/etc. Whereas it’s not as visable in overweight people. I think it’s one of those things in which if you have curly hair you want straight and if you have straight you want curly. Perhaps if you have a flatter nose and an undefined jawline, you are pay attention more all of the protruding noses and jawlines in the media and not the others. I don’t find your statement to be true, but could stem from your own self conciousness or something? My sil has beautiful brown hair and gorgeous almond shaped brown eyes and says that everyone likes blonds and blue eyes, but I REALLY don’t find that to be true. Ok, I’ll stop the ramble, but I don’t think protruding noses are all that attractive- lol. And as far as jawlines, there was a study in which women were more attracted to men w/ defined jawlines, it’s kind of a rugged look- however they tend to actually marry and settle down with guys that have rounder features- good news for all you jawline-less men out there!
