Welcome to Gaia! ::

The difference can be dramatic. It seems to be most distinct with people of mixed race, like myself, but I assume the reason why we don't expect what we see is that most people in the media are not distinctly mixed and therefore we're only accustomed to seeing alternating angles of unusual ethnic feature combinations.

Of all facial features I'd say the forehead, nose, and chin/jaw look most different between front and side view of a person's face. But those can make a dramatic change in how attractive or ugly a person is. After comparing the two, which would you say is more flattering?
It was really hard for me to find a decent selection of pics that represented the different angles. I didn't expect it to be. xD

Generally speaking, I think in between is my favorite, but there's a lot of other factors than just angles.

that boy is a horrible cross-dresser






you are both horrible cross-dressers
I think asymmetry is more related to hormone levels in the womb than it is genetics. Interestingly enough, many people think that these same hormones have an effect on whether the baby will turn out gay or not. Hormones also effect the finger length ratio between the ring and index fingers.

I am moderately asymmetrical, but not in an unattractive way.
I think from the front my nose looks round but on the side its pointy.
Not a big deal.

i think it's strange how different you can look at different angles

idk if i have a one facing properly from the side
I look entirely different. My nose doesn't look big at all until you see from the side.

What I don't think you've ever posted is a picture without your glasses. That, I imagine, makes a world of difference.
I have to admit, I look a lot better with a side angle then from a front angle. Which explains why I've got a side shot of my face for my sig pic.
