What about the chin? A lot actually. Using it you can trace the stages of evolution and learn about a person’s character. It is special for each person and can tell a lot.
Chewing theory
The American journal Journal of Human Evolution published an article with research results, which states that the appearance of the chin is due to the transition of our ancestors from raw food to cooked food.
Scientist James Pampush from the University of Florida said that this part of the body appeared only after the separation of human ancestors from other primates.
The evolution of the chin occurred at an incredible rate (about 77 times faster than the average rate of genetic drift).
According to Pampush's calculations, the collections were formed between six million and 200 thousand years ago, most likely about two million years ago. The reason for this was the transition to “ready-made” food - boiled, fried, stewed in the fire. The load on the jaws and teeth, accustomed to processing coarse and hard food, has decreased. This theory, which has a right to exist, but is not the only one, competes with other options for the development of events. Probably, we also owe the appearance of the chin to the increase in the cerebral part of the skull, which resulted in the divergence of the branches of the lower jaw while shortening the length of the palate and upper jaw.
The theory is sociable
Dentists from the University of Otago (Dunedin, New Zealand) disagreed with their American colleagues, who claim that the chin was formed under the influence of constant pressure from the tongue.
New Zealand scientists have constructed several three-dimensional models of the lower jaw, with and without a chin.
After carefully studying the variations under the various loads to which the muscles and bones were subjected, the scientists noticed that when the tongue is placed at a 45° angle in the jaw without a chin, the lower jaw experiences significant tension and tension.
The bones did not immediately, but over time, change their shape under the pressure of the tongue, which intensified in the process of evolution. According to scientists, our ancestors began to actively speak about 50 thousand years ago, around the same time the chin formed. It is curious that the chin is fully formed when a person reaches 30 years of age, after which one can judge its real shape.
Hormonal theory
Nathan Holton, an anthropologist from the University of Iowa, initially agreed with the theory of American scientists, but later changed his point of view. Together with a group of university colleagues, the scientist looked at many X-ray images of people aged three to sixty years old and compared them with images of Neanderthal skulls.
The conclusion was clear: a pronounced chin may simply be a side effect of evolutionary changes in our faces.
Scientists have noticed that our ancient ancestors do not have a chin; it is weakly expressed in children and at the same time becomes more developed with age. But children's jaws can withstand loads better than the jaws of an adult! The fact is that in the process of development, the genus Homo (which includes humans, Neanderthals and our other ancestors) experienced evolution with a distinct decrease in the face. Holton believes that the cause of smaller faces is hormonal changes that have been associated with a decrease in violence and the emergence and increase of cooperation between people.
The theory is attractive
Traditionally, a prominent chin was believed to be a sign of sexuality and masculinity. Allegedly, the chin evolved to serve as an indicator of sufficient testosterone and to highlight the male as an advantageous match, like the feathers of a peacock.
This is how heroes were portrayed in cartoons and films, such as Superman’s pronounced chin and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s prominent lower jaw. Unfortunately, this assumption is not true, because women also often have noticeable and prominent chins.
A short note on this issue was published by National Geographic magazine, where the author of the article claims that there is no precedent in nature for a dominant sexual characteristic to be present in both males and females, from which we conclude that the chin has nothing to do with sexuality and human capabilities (except subconsciously).
Physiognomy and perception
The chin plays a huge role in the perception of the image of the interlocutor, hence the common phrases “strong-willed chin” and “weak-willed chin”.
If we believe the results of statistical studies, we can distinguish several types of chins and the corresponding psychological qualities of the owner.
For example, a pointed chin in a woman indicates difficulties in communication, while in men it indicates cruelty and vindictiveness. A rounded shape often indicates not only a lack of strong character, but also the ability to organize work around oneself.
An oval chin, especially among the fairer sex, is considered a standard of beauty, hence the qualities attributed to its owners - artistry, sexuality and attractiveness.
A square chin in men, in turn, indicates a strong and independent character. If the chin protrudes forward, then this speaks of lust for power, pride and the desire to benefit from everything.
A weakly defined chin with a slight split indicates a passionate nature, and a stronger split indicates a love of reclusion. A strong cleft chin is a sign of increased sexuality of its owners. But the presence of a dimple on the chin speaks of the owner’s goodwill, stubbornness and unpredictability. By the way, popular rumor interprets this feature as a sign of sensuality, and in Ancient India and Persia, a dimple on the chin was considered a bad sign, and such “marked” ones could not become courtiers and priests.
Perfect chin
The chin is considered correct if it protrudes forward exactly as much as the lower lip protrudes. Despite the lack of pronounced applied qualities, the chin carries a significant aesthetic component of the image.
This is why many people decide to have plastic surgery on this part of the body.
Mentoplasty, an operation to change the shape and correct defects of the chin, is of interest no less often than rhinoplasty, an operation to correct the shape of the nose. Many people decide to get implants to make their chin more pronounced or, conversely, correct the existing one so that it is not so prominent. In addition, myostimulation, lifting, mesotherapy and photorejuvenation are offered for chin correction.
Folk signs
For some reason, signs about the chin always begin with the fact that it itches. Let's stop thinking about this fact and see what the wisdom of our ancestors brings to us. It turns out that if a girl’s chin itches, then this is a clear sign of upcoming love affairs. If a man’s chin itches, then he will soon meet a girl who he will like at first sight, but... very soon he will understand that she is completely uninteresting to him. As soon as the chin of a person connected by marriage begins to itch, this may indicate an upcoming new stage in life. It will be marked either by a short-term love for someone or a new relationship between spouses.
There is a sign that a long illness is preceded by severe itching in the chin area, and the illness will overtake someone close to you. But if you notice another person scratching his chin, then you will undoubtedly receive a promotion or receive good news.
"Double chin"
In fact, it is not a chin at all, but a fold of fat under it. The defect visually distorts the proportions of the face and gives it heaviness. In addition, it is almost impossible to disguise it (although a beard comes to the rescue of men).
The causes of this defect may be hereditary and age-related factors, sudden weight gain, high pillows and the habit of slouching and keeping the head down. By the way, to gain an “extra” chin, you need to gain about 2-3 kg in weight for a woman up to 165 cm and about 5-7 kg for taller women.
If in your early years you developed a double chin, it means that the mass of adipose tissue in the body is at least 10%. You can combat the deficiency both surgically and publicly - through gymnastics, massage, sports and proper nutrition.
Chin
Since ancient times, the chin has been considered an indicator of stamina, endurance and concentration. The more sloping the forehead and the more pronounced the chin, the more expressive the face.
Forehead protruding forward, is a sign of developed mental abilities. Traditionally, people considered a prominent chin to be a sign of a voluptuous nature, and masks depicting witches and the devil had a slanted chin.
Chin forward is often caused by the irregular structure of the lower jaw and in most cases is associated with a displaced bite, that is, when biting, the lower teeth are in front or do not completely extend beyond the upper ones.
People who want to demonstrate tough determination or superiority (consciously or not) jut out their chin.
Double or(which happens rarely) triple chin is, as a rule, the result of excessive consumption of high-calorie foods, sometimes a sign of a developed larynx, as, for example, in singers. With a normally developed larynx and a small layer of fat, the lower jaw and neck form an almost right angle.
According to size and shape in physiognomy, the following types of chins are distinguished::
center of the chin pulled up with a symmetrical arrangement under the incisors speaks of a penchant for married life and the desire to have a person similar to oneself in a spouse; such a chin is a typical sign of marital fidelity;
chin divided by a vertical line into two “slices”", indicates a desire to be loved, this is a sign of a sensual and even depraved nature;
pointed chin often found in women with plump, sensual lips; he speaks of a penchant for affection and ardent love;
pointed and protruding chin speaks of a craving for intimate and friendly sociability;
wide, almost square chin more common in men, it speaks of determination, firmness in decisions and actions, and prudence. Owners of such chins tend to marry flawed men;
massive, protruding chin– a sign of courage, painful sensitivity, jealousy, a tendency to violence and passionate love;
flattened-elongated chin speaks of self-will and stubbornness;
thickening under the lower lip- evidence of jealousy and intolerance towards other people's beauty and success.

In ancient times, the Persians selected the most worthy contender for the throne, you won’t believe it, based on the shape and size of the nose. And Pythagoras looked for students for himself, carefully measuring their heads and bodies (in such a strange way he tested abilities and character). Why am I doing all this? And besides, appearance can tell a lot about a person. Many women often wonder how to make a man fall in love with them, even without really getting to know this person.
How do you choose your lovers? Do you think that appearance is not the most important thing for a man? This is not entirely true! Or rather, it’s not like that at all! Appearance very clearly reflects character of a man, which is very important when choosing a life partner. By looking at a person’s face, you can determine his temperament, lifestyle, character, way of life and much more interesting things! As Oscar Wilde said: “Only the most undiscerning people do not judge by appearance.”
Reading by faces
The shape of your face will tell you about your success and opportunities.
People with round faces, as a rule, adapt well to any environment, they are very cheerful, lively and energetic. They know how to successfully overcome difficulties - both personal and financial.
A square face shape speaks of a person’s determination, firmness and strength. Such people have a keen sense of justice and a great desire to “live by the rules.” They are natural leaders and excellent lawyers.
People with long and thin faces often have to work hard to achieve any recognition and success, but this does not stop them from being kind people.
Oval faces belong to people who are very reasonable and calm.
In general, it is believed that the larger the facial features, the more success a person will have in life!
Complexion tells about health
Every experienced doctor can determine by complexion both the general condition of the body and which internal organs need attention and treatment. People with high blood pressure have an unhealthy blush; a gray and sallow tint indicates digestive problems.
If a person is excessively pale, this indicates anemia and a lack of hemoglobin in the blood, blueness indicates oxygen starvation, and a yellowish complexion indicates diseases of the spleen or liver.
Dark circles under the eyes indicate overwork and loss of strength. By the way, the area under the eyes is responsible for fertility. If the skin there is light and elastic, there can be many children, and relationships with them will be successful.
The forehead indicates social status
The “ideal” forehead is convex, wide and high. The owner of such a beautiful forehead will definitely occupy a good social position in society and will have a high status. But the owner of a sunken, narrow or sloping forehead, on the contrary, is unlikely to achieve significant success in this direction.
Wrinkles on the forehead with a bend mean a changeable temperament and excessive ardor. Oblique or crooked lines indicate that a person is either unhappy or angry. A large number of thin lines means a life full of work, disasters and boredom. Straight lines characterize a calm, simple and fair person.
A forehead with horizontal wrinkles that are located close to the eyebrows signifies insight and deep intelligence. A forehead with horizontal wrinkles that are located close to the hair - hard-heartedness, pride.
A forehead with perpendicular wrinkles indicates great intelligence, pride, and ambition.
Ears tell about abilities and talents
If the top of the ears is above the eyebrow line, this is very good, as this is a sign of ambition and intelligence.
Fleshy, full ears with large lobes promise their owner wealth and prosperity.
Pointed ears indicate that their owner is at the mercy of instincts and often cannot resist them.
Eyebrows tell about temperament
Wide, thick eyebrows are a sign of directness and courage, as well as a strong sexual constitution. But it should be taken into account that their owners often suffer from dictatorial habits. People with thin eyebrows are more modest, but at the same time, secretive, and also often get sick.
Curved eyebrows indicate friendliness and openness. Eyebrows located high above the eyes indicate generosity and sociability.
Bushy eyebrows, with hairs sticking out in all directions, are considered “devilish.” Such eyebrows are often possessed by manias and obsessions. Fused eyebrows indicate a difficult and difficult childhood, which can lead a person to the dock, and a restless character.
Eyelids are a lie detector
Thick eyelids most often occur in sleepy and dispassionate people who quickly get tired of work (both mental and physical). A large number of people with such eyelids often suffer from headaches.
The thinner the eyelid, the more shy and truthful a person is; he does not have the ability to deceive and lie.
Eyes – his inner world, life position and emotions
Big eyes are a sign of breadth of soul, artistic talent, and inability to manage money. Those with small eyes, on the contrary, are extremely careful. People with bulging eyes love to play pranks on their acquaintances and are very easily tempted.
Gray eyes are a sign of great kindness, responsiveness, honesty and the ability to be content with little. Gray-eyed people, even in cases of urgent need, cannot decide to appropriate someone else's property.
Calm, cool people with limited demands have milky blue eyes.
Greenish-gray eyes. as a rule, in people who are sociable, sociable, cheerful, and have permanent affections.
Dark gray on the roll-out is a sign of nobility and kindness.
Light eyes indicate timidity, tenderness and moderate passion.
Dark eyes are a sign of passion, energy and willpower.
But, of course, much more than the color and shape of the eyes, their expression can say about a person! After all, they are the real mirror of the human soul, that’s a fact!
Cheekbones will tell you about success
The owner of high, prominent cheekbones can achieve a lot in life, since he is a fighter by nature. When the cheekbones are low, a person prefers to live according to the principle “water wears away stones” and achieves any success closer to old age. His calling is to obey and he is unlikely to Character of a man, after all, should consist of the desire for leadership and success, so pay special attention to the cheekbones.
The nose will indicate intelligence and love abilities
A large straight nose is a sign of optimism, honesty and good nature. A naturally crooked nose speaks of a person’s difficult, complex character. A hooked nose tells that it is better not to quarrel with its owner; it will be worse for you.
A small nose indicates a pessimist with poor health. Fleshy wings of the nose and a large tip promise financial success and prosperity.
Lips tell about internal energy
Thin lips reveal a strong-willed and purposeful person. But his composure and determination often go hand in hand with extreme toughness. If your lips are full, then it will be easy with such a person - he is friendly, honest and loyal, although he may be somewhat simple-minded. But his life is always full of positivity and positive emotions.
The chin will tell you about the future
The Chinese consider the chin to be responsible for old age. A full and wide chin is considered a wonderful sign and portends a comfortable and calm old age surrounded by family. In general, the larger the chin, the longer and richer life awaits its owner.
A square and especially protruding chin indicates great willpower. A cleft chin with a dimple indicates a passionate person, while a pointed or sloping chin portends disappointment in life.

If this article was useful to you and you want to tell your friends about it, click on the buttons. Thank you very much! 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.
Vadim SokolovThe 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 of 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 of the white race 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. Hollywood actor Spencer Tracy (1900-1967), who played gangsters at the beginning of his career, replaced the “American jaw” with a more glamorous concept, endowing his characters with masculinity and strong-willed spirit 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, a wide nose 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, strong character 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 Vasily Stepanov (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, Joanne Woodward, lived her entire life in marriage 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 the proportions of the face, especially in its lower third, more correct and perfect. Celebrities with a protruding jaw include Julianne Moore, Cynthia Nixon, 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.
What does a dimple on the chin mean?
To think that the science that studies appearance traits has only recently appeared is completely wrong. She just wasn't taken seriously for a while. They did not attach much importance to the structural features of faces and their connection with a person’s character. Only recently did this ancient science acquire a name – physiognomy. But our distant ancestors, although they did not give names, even then knew how much the shape and structure of a face could tell about a person. Even in ancient China, sages predicted fate using these signs. And very successfully! So one of the emperors received a prediction about a brilliant future when he was only a poor, unknown orphan.
The meaning of the chin shape
The Chinese called the forehead “the sky of the face,” and the chin, respectively, “the earth.” A considerable number of sages based their conclusions on these two components, considering them the most important for humans. Moreover, it is interesting that the shape of the forehead was much more important for men. The chin could tell more about a woman's fate. This is due to the fact that the Chinese associated the lower part of the face with the earth, which means the feminine principle. While the sky was the masculine principle. A narrow and short lower part of the face was considered a bad sign that would adversely affect one’s future fate. A wide chin, in both men and women, on the contrary, meant well-being in the future.
He promised a happy, quiet old age, in which the owner would know more happiness than adversity, and would enjoy the benefits that he had acquired through hard work throughout his life. It foreshadowed comfortable living, absence of health problems, prosperity and fame. Protruding chins in every possible way were also called a very good sign for a person: upturned (then the type of face was called “heaven and earth looking at each other”), fleshy and massive, full, protruding forward. They talked about a person’s strong will, his ability to cope with any adversity, as well as love for earthly goods and increased sexuality.
The Chinese considered a favorable face shape to be a real gift from above, a gift from the gods. People with the “correct” face shape were automatically considered successful, if not now, then in the foreseeable future. And of course they were not threatened with a miserable old age in poverty, no matter what the reality was. No one knows for sure whether their predictions were true, but this tradition lasted for a very, very long time.
Double chin
No matter how strange it may seem in our age of struggle with excess weight, the Chinese considered a double chin to be the most favorable sign. However, this form can occur not only in people who are overweight. Contrary to popular belief, double chin also occurs in slender people. In China, this was the best guarantee of well-being after the age of fifty.
Such a chin foreshadowed comfort and tranquility upon reaching old age. But even at a younger age, its owners became successful in their profession and gained financial stability. It was believed that such people rarely deny themselves sensual pleasures, even in old age. Also, their desires throughout their lives coincide with their capabilities.
Dimple on the chin: meaning
In simple terms, this is what they call a depression on human skin. When it comes to the face, we most often mean dimples on the cheeks, which some people experience when they smile, or a dimple on the chin. They are often most noticeable at an early age, and over the years they smooth out or disappear altogether. This is due to the fact that our facial muscles gradually lengthen. But some retain this feature until old age. It is also now possible to create dimples artificially - using plastic surgery.
Each feature in physiognomy has a certain meaning. So, in the popular interpretation, a dimple on the chin means a person’s goodwill. This definition is especially true for men, and the shape of the chin itself is of greater importance for them. Surprisingly, here we and the inhabitants of Ancient China have an almost unanimous opinion. In the science of physiognomy, a dimple on the chin characterizes a person as the owner of a strong, unbending will.
Such men are real fighters, they are determined and have a strong and even tough character. But at the same time, they can be described as connoisseurs of the fair sex with a bright temperament. It is believed that such people attract the attention of women and are therefore spoiled by them. Sometimes a dimple can signify a two-faced character. Its resourceful owner is very multifaceted, capable of achieving his goals, both with the help of cunning and enviable stubbornness.
Chin meaning and character | Physiognomy
Let's consider the physiognomic meaning of the chin. As for the chin and jaws, they are almost inseparable and are therefore often discussed together in Chinese texts. These two traits govern the later years of life and are located in positions 60 to 79, and 98 and 99 on the left side.
Well-developed jaws on a round or square face, in keeping with the overall contour of the face, usually indicate a strong character. With a round face, the jaws indicate affection, generosity and self-control, provided that they are wide and covered with a strong and abundant whip. With a square face, they speak of a person of great determination with a strong or difficult character. These jaws are usually associated with professional athletes or military personnel. However, generally speaking, a facial reader should keep in mind that a wide jaw and wide chin are a sign of strong character, unless they are marred by other bad facial features (such as a weak or broken nose or lifeless eyes). A person, whether male or female, having such a jaw and chin is likely to have a very successful life if the other facial features are favorable and in balance and proportion.
As a rule, the wider the jaw, the wider the chin (Fig. 181). The size and position of these two features should be well coordinated. A wide and slightly raised chin is absolutely essential for the balance of the entire face. This indicates happiness and security in later life.
A weak and repressed chin is a clear sign of a fatal flaw in character and destiny. A weak chin puts all other facial features in a disadvantageous position, starting from the forehead and below (Fig. 182).
A severe cleft in the chin" (Fig. 183) resulting from a splitting of the bony structure or flesh covering the chin is known as a "cleft chin." As a "rule of thumb" we can say that such a gap indicates a warm-hearted, tender, passionate nature. It is common among artists, actors, musicians, inventors and writers, i.e. among people whose creative work generates high emotions.
The meaning of the chin. However, if the "cleft chin" is due to the bone structure rather than the skin having good tension along the entire length of the cleft, and if it is accompanied by defective irises, and perhaps an imperfect nasal bridge, then it may mean an unnatural death. A “cleft chin” in the absence of other defects indicates possible problems with immersion in introspection.
In some cultures, a pointed chin in women is considered a sign of beauty (Fig. 184). Such a chin may not be fully developed and therefore not sufficiently fleshed out. But a fully developed chin should appear around age 30. If the chin remains pointed at this age, the physiognomist usually considers this a defective feature, since it is often poorly balanced with other prominent facial features. Imbalance is always undesirable. After the age of 30, a pointed chin can indicate disappointment, illness and a short life.

The meaning of the chin. A wide jaw and wide chin on a wide face (Fig. 185) are a sign of a strong personality. Such traits are often found in people of great strength and dexterity. Nothing can make such people deviate from achieving their intended goal. However, a long chin with underdeveloped flesh is a sign of an unsuccessful financial businessman. If the chin is flat, then this indicates that the person is not resourceful.
Heavy jaws protruding from both sides of the lower part of the face and clearly visible when viewed from behind (Fig. 186) indicate a rebel, a person of strong, uncontrollable passions. Such a person is capable of repaying a good deed with betrayal. Politicians, revolutionaries, and unprincipled businessmen usually have jaws of this type.
In some cases, the protruding jaw is hidden behind massive flesh. This speaks of a self-centered, selfish person. A woman with such jaws is often a difficult marriage partner because she constantly rebels against her fate.
What does a dimple on a chin mean in men?
I heard that this means that a man likes to walk on the left. Maybe there are other versions.

Nothing except that such a masculine face automatically adds attractiveness to a man. It is dangerous to have such a life partner for a woman who is not confident in her superiority over her husband. With a worthless wife, such a man cannot resist the temptation to be in someone’s tender hands in addition to the legitimate hands of his wife.
The whole point is not that a man will necessarily be a walker, but that a dimple is a bonus that enhances his attractiveness. Not every male can resist the temptation. For this there must be solid deterrents, and the man must be well-fed and lazy, at a minimum.
And so, there is nothing dangerous or hidden in this sign, unless you take into account that it is dominant and is inherited.
I heard and was even completely confident that a dimple on the chin means that a man will only have sons, but life shows that this is just a common misconception - the owner of one of the most beautiful dimples on the chin, Til Schweiger, has three daughters . In fact, like any other anatomical feature, a dimple on the chin may not mean anything, but it certainly adds to a man's attractiveness, although I prefer dimples on the cheeks. And popularity with women always has a great influence on the development of a man’s character, and he may try to become more courageous and purposeful, simply to follow the established stereotype and please women’s expectations.

A dimple on the chin does not always mean that a man has a strong character and is self-confident. As a rule, the owner of a dimple on the chin is kind and this is a fact, since I have many such friends. Such a person is also attractive to women; they consider him passionate and temperamental. And physiognomists say that he is capable of making decisions.
A striking example of an actor with a dimpled chin is John Travolta.

Men with a dimple on the chin have a very strong character, determination, strong will and perseverance - this is their character trait.

From a scientific point of view, it means nothing, just like a strong-willed chin. The only scientific explanation is a lack of connective tissue. And from the point of view of life. Women like such a dimple, which gives the owner of such a dimple an advantage in communicating with the weaker sex, and, as a result, a promotion.
I once heard that a dimple on the chin means that its owner is loving and loved by women. But that’s how it is, such a dimple adds irresistibility, which means everything is right. So it is, I believe that this means that the man is decisive, handsome and loved by women.
A dimple on a man’s face is a feature of the physiological structure of a given individual’s face and nothing more.
But if we assume that 2x2=5, you can see a lot of interesting things in this dimple.
For example, a very purposeful womanizer.

Nothing special. This is simply a physiological feature, a special physiognostics. In girls, dimples on their cheeks give them attractiveness and a special zest. Dimples on the face simply highlight a person's face against the background of other faces, nothing more.
Stealth
It means that with age-related growth of the skin-muscular mass of the face, the connective tissue in the center of the chin is not fully developed relative to the structure of neighboring tissues. You could even say that this is a slight deformity, and nothing more!

For a man, a dimple on the chin is a sign of purposefulness, determination and strong will and character. People who have this sign are friendly. Sometimes a dimple can mean a two-faced character in a man.
