Experiment Is having a "point" to the center of your hairline Masculine or Feminine?

[RageAgainstTDL]

I've been paying a lot of attention to people's hairlines. I notice most people tend to have a small "point" at the center of their hairline.

I am not talking about a big widow's peak.

I mean this type of tiny point:

Almost all white/latino/Indian people seem to have these.

By contrast, I note a lot of black and yellow people don't.

Zac Efron has almost the most perfectly straight hairline for a white guy but he still has it a bit:

Timberlake has it even though his is pretty straight too:

Christian Bale:

Tom Cruise is perhaps the only white celeb I can find who doesn't have this feature identifiable at all in any pics I can see:

Brad Pitt's is almost imperceptible but still barely there:

Is this a masculine or feminine trait overall?

My sense is it is feminine. I feel like the straighter the hairline, the more masculine it is. While the more pointy it is, the more feminine. That's not to say a guy can't look manly with a pointy hairline. Both of these guys look manly, even with true big widow's peaks:

But I do think that a straighter horizontal hairline is probably more masculine.

What do you think? Is this right? Is a pointy hairline more "feminine"?

I posted my square/straight, Effron type, hairline on looksmax and people said it is ideal for males unlike the point one you mention. So I guess straight is better(masculine)

It literally doesn’t even matter as long has your not balding or bald. It doesn’t even fucking matter

No clue. My hairline is perfectly straight, but it's way too high up to be ideal.

My sense is it is feminine. I feel like the straighter the hairline, the more masculine it is.

That is just because we perceive everything straight as masculine, everything curvy as feminine. Which type of hairline you have is 100% genetic.

It's over for widows peakcels.

Yeah maybe that's the case. Interesting way to think about it.

I agree it's absolutely genetic and can go either way irrespective of gender. I don't see any particular prevalence that's greater in men or women. It's more racial if anything who has it or who doesn't.

I just mean to say, hypothetically, if you were genetically engineering a super Chad and could pick any features you want, would you give him a point or not?

I'm thinking not.

Hahaha. Okay that's not the idea I was going for.

I'm not saying it makes a "big difference". I'm just trying to understand, because there are circumstances when a man is 'redesigning' his hairline and then he can choose any shape he wants.

Aren’t widows peaks are just a trait? Something like 35% of the population have some degree of widows peak. It’s genes.

Of course it's genes. I am just asking whether it appears masculine or feminine.

And I don't mean a big widow's peak. Just even the tiny point that most people have.

I'm asking if you could pick any hairline in the world as a man, would you pick it to be perfectly straight, or more like, say Timberlake's?

Straight

Bit of Point

The waviness adds a bit of character, but I think it's feminine or "pretty" in nature. While the straighter hairline looks more masculine but also "brutish".

But it's not obvious or dramatic which is why I'm asking.
