At the SDC, we believe true beauty extends far beyond mere appearances and facial features. It encompasses a person's personality, values, and inner qualities, which make them truly attractive.

However, we heard some information circulating recently from a facial analyst who believes that the attractiveness of humans may be diminishing with each new generation.

That's right, an expert says you're more attractive than your kids and grandkids. How's that for a fun fact?

Understandably, this prediction caught the attention of many.

The founder of QOVES, a facial aesthetics consultancy firm in Sydney, Shafee Hassan, addressed a follower's question about the abundance of attractive people in old high school yearbooks in a video on social media.

In the video, he delved into the idea that certain lifestyle changes and environmental influences might impact our attractiveness over time.

Hassan explained: 'The average person's face is becoming increasingly disadvantaged by modern diets, sleeping patterns, pollutants and orofacial habits creating a greater inequality in "the attractives" vs "the unattractives".'

In the video, Shafee raised an intriguing question about why teenagers in the 1950s appeared to look much older than their modern-day counterparts. To illustrate this point, he provided a visual example of a young man with distinct and attractive facial features, like a well-defined jawline and prominent cheekbones.

To explain these differences, Shafee introduced the concept of the 'functional matrix hypothesis', which was presented by orthodontist William Proffit and his colleagues in the book Contemporary Orthodontics.

This hypothesis suggests that various forces act on the face during development, influencing the way certain aspects of it, such as the upper and lower jaws, grow and form over time.

Shafee shed light on how the tongue or other forces can impact the jaw's development, potentially pushing it downwards or outwards before new bone growth takes place.

To provide a practical example, he referred to a case study involving a young girl with a sinus infection. Due to constant mouth-breathing caused by the ailment, the lack of closure in that facial area led to improper development.

Based on this information, Shafee drew a conclusion in the video. He stated that around 70% of people in the 'Western world' suffer from some form of malocclusion, such as gaps between teeth or gum recession. These conditions could contribute to the perception that faces become less attractive with each generation.

This argument is quite fascinating, but it also brings a sense of reality. The video has garnered over 2.3 million views on various social media platforms, captivating the public's attention and igniting a thought-provoking debate.

People's responses to the video were varied. Some viewers pointed out that individuals tend to appear more attractive on camera, while others relied on long-standing beauty stereotypes or considered how diverse diets might affect people's appearances.

'They look older because they have styles that we associate with grandparents, so they automatically look more mature,' one comment read.

Another added, 'Worth noting that everyone looks better on a film camera compared to an iPhone. It brings out the features and makes the face look more defined.'

​

Key Takeaways

• Shafee Hassan, a facial analyst from Sydney's QOVES firm, argued that people are becoming less attractive due to modern lifestyles affecting facial development.
• In his video, Hassan suggested that factors such as diet, sleep patterns, and pollutants can negatively affect facial features, causing them to become 'less attractive'.
• The 'functional matrix hypothesis' suggests that various forces act on the face during development, influencing how certain aspects, such as the upper and lower jaws, grow and form over time.

Members, we're absolutely curious to know what you make of this article! Do you believe people have been losing their charm lately, or is it just too tricky to determine?

I believe our generation were more attractive, because as young people most of us were slim, but because of processed foods and different eating these days, it's caused people to be overweight or obese, which is not a good look, but seems to be the norm. For me to go into a shop to buy a size 12 now, quite often is impossible, sizes are now in the 20's !!

I think we are looking older due to media coverage on all the creams, masks , beauty therapy treatments and those that don’t use sun cream enough. All this publicity promotes negativity of getting older compared to years ago. If you look after your skin from a young age and follow the tips to use, you’ll be better off and also some people don’t age.

The way the young ones dress these days certainly doesn't help their appearance. We used to dress to look nice but those days are gone. The more rips in the jeans the better and they have no pride in their appearance.

What was that old saying that covered this? Ah yes……Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! Always has and always will remain the same.
Gotta say a lot of you are definitely showing your age in your replies.

I think it's true. And I believe the main culprit is probably weight. A top plastic surgeon said he can't emphasise enough the effect weight has on the shape of the face. So facial definition is not there. Also, a lot of women are altering their facial features with lip/cheek fillers and botox, which makes them all look the same. I'm not denigrating, merely noticing. The world is changing exponentially and I accept that with good grace.

One of the problems with smartphone photographs is that the default lens on the phone is a wide-angle lens. This is very unflattering. An older film SLR generally uses a “standard lens”, usually 50mm, sometimes 55mm. This gives a much more natural look to the face - and the body, for that matter.
