  If you gain weight and people still find your face pretty, then you're REALLY attractive

  I've experienced this personally. I've never been skinny, but at a BMI of 21.5 I had a very attractive face. I was often approached by strangers and given compliments about my face by people I didn't know or didn't know well when out. At a BMI of 27 I am now very much below average in appearance, my face lost all definition. I do look like a different person now that I'm overweight, and I am also treated completely differently too. People are just nicer to those that they perceive as attractive, without them even realising it I bet.

  Anyone attractive who has gained weight due to injury, age, etc…. Knows how crazy different the world treats you once you gain the weight. Even if you feel confident, they perceive you differently and treat you differently in social or job interactions.

  Stay in shape as much as possible, NEVER let yourself go especially as you age.

  The thing is you can have low body fat percentage and your face can still not look  defined for some people.

  I've always said that most people can be attractive as long as you stay in shape, come off as intelligent, and carry yourself with confidence.

  Can you do an analysis of how straight hair vs wavy/curly hair suits a person's features? That'd be nice.

  As an Asian, most of us need to have super low body fat in order for our facial bone structures to show. On the other hand, I see a lot of Caucasians with very contoured & slim-looking faces due to prominent bone structures even when they have relatively high body fat. Hence why you see these plus-sized models with decent-looking faces even when their bodies have like... 50% body fat

  You can say beauty is "only skin deep" or "in the eye of the beholder" but even if it's only subconsciously, someone's weight and attractiveness makes a significant difference in how we perceive and regard them as a person.  Not by choice necessarily, but by instinct or human nature -- again, subconsciously.  For better or worse, looks really do matter.

  Age is a huge component in this discussion, though. Most of these examples are young people. A little extra weight for older people can be helpful to reduce wrinkles. Both my mother and my aunt lost a lot of weight recently and while they feel better in general it also aged their faces like 15 years and they feel very conflicted about it.

  When I was in high school I weighed 115 pounds. I was always complimented on my facial structure. Fast forward to my 20s and i ballooned up to 170…I lost all my attractive features. I lost 20 pounds recently so I’m down to 150 now and my face looks soooooooo much better.
