The chin is primarily an indicator of a person’s will and suggestibility. But there are some peculiarities. Interestingly, a person’s chin is finally formed only at the age of 30, but, as a rule, the owner’s character can be read even earlier.
The more the chin is forward, the more stubborn and self-confident the person. Often this even indicates aggressiveness.
A chin recessed back speaks of suggestibility and lack of will, patience.
A round chin indicates an excellent organizer, and such a person delegates his work to someone and prefers to observe the process himself. Such people are quite flexible and do not like open conflicts. They have a friendly temperament, they are patient and sociable. Family values for such people usually come first. Catherine Zeta Jones has just such a chin.
An oval chin is certainly very beautiful. Monica Bellucci has just such a chin. These are sensual, artistic individuals who have many fans around them.
A pointed chin speaks of intelligence, cunning, and resourcefulness. They have an entrepreneurial spirit. An excessively long and sharp chin can indicate vindictiveness and even cruelty. Actress Reese Witherspoon is a striking owner of a pointed chin.
A square chin is a sign of strength of character, courage, and firmness. But he also talks about stubbornness and willfulness. If a square chin also protrudes forward, then its owner is power-hungry and quite selfish. Angelina Jolie has a square chin.
A double chin with a thin physique indicates endurance, a desire to accumulate wealth, and often such people have a cheerful disposition.
A cleft chin is evidence of a passionate nature. And both to the opposite sex and to adventure. They are ambitious, love to be the center of attention, and take risks. At the same time, such people have a cheerful disposition, are often adventurous and may not be too constant in their decisions.
As you can see, a chin can tell a lot about a person.

The face reflects a person’s character through his gaze, the pattern of wrinkles, and the corners of his lips. But some of his features have long been endowed with special personality traits, as evidenced by popular phrases and sayings: smart forehead, honest eyes, strong-willed chin. This article is devoted to the latter.
Types of chins
Physiognomists distinguish the following types of chins:
- Forked. Testifying to the passion of nature.
- Leaned back. Characterizes patient and compliant people.
- Double. Gives away lovers of voluptuousness.
- Oval. Characteristic for creative people.
- Round. Characteristic of good organizers.
- Pointed. Inherent in cunning and insincere people.
- Square. Indicates strength of character and the presence of stubbornness.
The last option is the answer to the question: what does a strong-willed chin look like? Obviously, the more he comes forward and the more powerful he seems, the stronger the personality appears to people. It is difficult to negotiate with this person. Therefore, when communicating with him, it is preferable to use determination, strength and fearlessness.
Influence of attitudes
Modern psychology classifies physiognomy as a pseudoscience that has no evidence base. At the same time, it recognizes the influence of social attitudes on the human personality. Perceiving the appearance and behavior of another person, everyone endows him with character traits based on stereotypes that have developed in society. Scientist A. A. Bodalev clearly demonstrated this phenomenon in his experiments.
Two groups of subjects were shown a portrait of the same person. They were asked to give him an oral description. Only the first group was presented with a criminal, and the second - with a famous scientist. As a result of the experiment, two mutually exclusive characteristics were obtained. The criminal appeared to be a cruel person with a suspicious look and a massive jaw, indicating mercilessness. To the second group, the scientist’s eyes seemed tired, his facial expression was intelligent, and her lower part indicated perseverance and perseverance. This confirms the idea that a strong-willed chin is a certain stereotype of perception that has developed in society.
Concept diffusion
The chin is responsible for the shape of the face as a whole, completing its lower part. Each race has its own characteristics in its structure. Thus, Negroids are distinguished by slightly developed chins, Mongoloids - by their almost complete absence. And representatives have the most pronounced lower part of the face. The most developed jaw, which influences its shape, is found in Americans. They are the ones closest to the ideal of what people mean by the concept of a “strong-willed chin.”
It is believed that it was the Americans who largely contributed to the spread of this term. Spencer Tracy (1900-1967), who played gangsters at the beginning of his career, introduced a more glamorous concept to replace the “American jaw,” endowing his characters with masculinity and strong-willedness instead of arrogance and rudeness. With his help, a prominent chin became a sign of a real man, which began to influence the perception of others.
Male characteristics
A strong-willed chin in men is often combined with large facial features: developed brow ridges and prominent cheekbones. It is typical for people with an athletic build, in which broad shoulders with a convex chest rise above narrow hips. Against the background of a well-developed trapezius muscle, the neck also seems more massive. Long arms, large skeletal bones and well-developed muscles indicate strength and a certain amount of aggression. Such men make either good athletes or leaders.
Male athletes are distinguished by developed logical thinking and the ability to withstand pressure from others. Public opinion associates them with real masculinity and attributes to them the presence of the following character traits: confidence, determination, physical endurance, competitiveness, perseverance. They are often condemned for being thick-skinned, aggressive, or, on the contrary, passive. But it has been noticed that during the period of increased hormonal levels (ovulation), women subconsciously choose men with a strong-willed chin.
Prominent representatives
Various world publications regularly conduct ratings of the most beautiful and sexiest men on the planet (Heart world, Life). Looking at celebrity portraits, it is easy to understand what a strong-willed chin means. This is an invariable attribute of all modern sex symbols. It is possessed not only by actors who traditionally star in action films - Steven Seagal, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dolph Lundgren. But also handsome men George Clooney, Robert Pattinson, Justin Timberlake.
The picture is similar among Russians. Sex symbols from Nikolai Eremenko to (the blockbuster “Inhabited Island”) are the owners of an outstanding lower part of the face. Among the legendary politicians, whose contribution to history has been confirmed by time, there are also many men distinguished by the presence of a strong-willed chin: John Kennedy, Winston Churchill, Joseph Stalin. The existing exceptions only confirm the rule.
Strong chin in women
Among women there are also athletes whose figure resembles a man’s. Their chins often look rather rough. This is a consequence of high levels of the male hormone testosterone. The prominent lower part of the face scares off the stronger sex, because it indicates the sexual activity of women. For long-term relationships, men intuitively look for a partner in whose fidelity they want to be sure. That's why surveys show that women with strong chins seem less attractive to them. The study was published in the journal Personality And Individual Differences, citing developments from several universities in North America.
Famous personalities
The conclusions are confirmed by examples from the lives of celebrities. Thus, the Duchess of Cornwall, whose strong-willed chin can be seen in the photograph, had an affair with Prince Charles before divorcing her first husband, Andrew Parker-Bowles. And the owner of a neat lower face spent her entire life married to Paul Newman, a Hollywood star who drove women crazy with his bottomless blue eyes.
Women's strong-willed chins rarely have a quadrangular shape. They are more rounded and attractive in appearance. They often make it especially in the lower third, more correct and perfect. Celebrities with a protruding jaw include Julianne Moore and Ksenia Sobchak. Many Hollywood careers began with chin augmentation through implantation. Among women, Angelina Jolie, Haley Bury, and Jennifer Aniston decided to undergo such surgery. Their appearance has benefited so much from this that today many are wondering how to make a strong-willed chin.
Mentoplasty
The branch of plastic surgery to correct the size and shape of the chin is called mentoplasty. To increase it, an implant is inserted under the periosteum. The operation does not leave any visible scars, because the incision is made on the oral mucosa of the face. The rehabilitation period does not exceed three days. Surgeon Brent Moellken from California speaks of hundreds of men who try to change their appearance in this way. Actors do this because they no longer want to play the roles of weak characters, and heroes require a certain type of face.
Why do women do this? To look like real ladies. Implantation solves several problems at once:
- Facial proportions are corrected.
- The neck is visually stretched.
- The cheeks are removed, making the cheekbones more defined.
- If necessary, the double chin is removed.
Many years have passed since the times of Aristotle and Hippocrates, who saw the connection between a person’s appearance and the characteristics of his character. Ideas about the ideal appearance of a person, which evokes the respectful perception of others, are changing. Today, one of its most important indicators is a strong-willed chin.
