Title: Close-set eyes in men
Post by: Charles-Guillaume on July 08, 2015, 06:21:18 AM
Though far from ideal, it doesn't appear that close-set eyes necessarily prevent one from being good-looking. I am going to post a few cyclops-descended men generally recognised as handsome. Is there anything, eye-set aside, that they all have in common, perhaps serving to offset the imbalance created by the eyes being too close together?

To determine whether someone qualifies for this thread or not, I decided to investigate based on multiple photos whether the vertical distance from midlip to pupil divided by the horizontal distance from pupil to pupil produces a number of or greater than 1.2. Anyhow, here we go.


James Dean

Amazing skin and hair, square jaw, pronounced cheekbones, small nose (I bet this particular trait is going to recur very frequently), wide face in general.

(http://images1.fanpop.com/images/image_uploads/James-Dean-james-dean-930826_1920_1497.jpg)

James Deen

Name eerily similar to that of the former. Perfect skin, great hair, wide and square chin with a fairly good jaw angle, pronounced cheekbones.

(http://www.aceshowbiz.com/images/wennpic/james-deen-70th-venice-film-festival-01.jpg)

Jeff Buckley

Square masculine jaw, great skin, nice (albeit somewhat receding) hair, strong cheekbones.

(http://i.guim.co.uk/static/w-620/h--/q-95/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2014/8/27/1409137343624/1759a9a5-b09c-40f9-be3a-4d7885340fd4-620x372.jpeg)

Heath Ledger

Amazing jaw and cheekbones, generally wide face, good skin, hair quality is nice but hairline receding. Nose isn't really small but definitely not long. Close-set eyes with a long nose seems to be one of those "bad" combinations.

(http://images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/23300000/Young-Heath-heath-ledger-23377144-500-634.jpg)


I'll add more as I come up with them.

It's not helping their case. Let's put it this way you can look "okay" with close-set eyes but you can never look amazing. And as you say these guys have otherwise perfect features. Never realizd how much James Dean looks like Jared Leto who also has terribly close set eyes.

People keep talking about stem cells and biological engineering and s**t and f**k we can't change people's hair (unless you wear a wig like John Travolta) we can't f**king restore interddental papilla, we can't even get rid of acne scars. When the f**k will science catch up to what we really need?

All would look better with eyes further apart. I now know why I always thought something was a bit off about James Dean (thanks OP!).  Nonetheless they are all good looking (except Ledger, who was always so overrated).

Your idea of moving your facial parameters closer to the averages look good on paper, and was actually something that I subscribed to until recently.  Now I'm not so sure.  Lots of good looking people have features that are not perfect on their own, yet the whole just gels together very well.  For example George Clooney has a long upper lip.  Yet he still looks good (probably because it's balanced by his massive chin).  Brad Pitt's chin looks a bit recessed in profile, etc..

The nose has to fit between the inner canthi to look good.  With eyes closer together, the nose has to be thinner still. 

BTW, you have 4 dudes here who died in their 20s.

Perhaps Ryan Gosling belongs here. Loads of women find him very attractive, but in his case I think that it is not due to being really handsome per se, but rather a combination of being 1.) fundamentally quite good-looking, 2.) extremely well-groomed, and 3.) a famous actor portraying plenty of "heartthrob" characters, and he does seem to have plenty of suaveness and charisma in private as well.

Anyhow, I'll add him. Great skin, great hair, large and masculine (if not very aesthetic) jaw.

Which is why we must find a way to undo nature's crude work. I am sure that we would have a safe and reliable way to expand orbits by now had we spent even a fraction of any given war budget on it.

This is ALL BULs**t. None of these people would be good looking if thy didn't have MASSIVELY amazing other features and grooming and make-up even (stars appear on red carpet with make-up always) AND THEY ARE FAMOUS.

Ryan Gosling is only loved by tons of women because of his film the NOTEBOOK and he sings and stuff too and has a good personality. Otherwise his narrow eyes f**k him up completely.

Close eyes are the kiss of death. You need to have box osteotomy.

I want to just emphasize to a large degree how bad close-set eyes are in men. Unless you're already the star of a top rom-com or television show you are f**ked. Especially in photographs you will look horrible. If there is a procedure to widen close set eyes, we absolutely must find this. I believe Sinn said he can widen upto 6mm when doing the orbital rim (modified lefort 3) advancement. This is what I will be pursuing. But if there were a more advanced procedure I would do it.

Come on  you morphers! Morph Gosling and some of the others up here and show what they would look like with wide set eyes.

A guy almost every woman loves Ewan McGreggor! Take him for example, not great features, wide nose, bad skin, no lips decent but not amazing jaw long upper lip, but them BAM very wide-set eyes --He'll always be gorgeous.

Rubbish, no one is denying that it is a more or less serious flaw but it is no "kiss of death". Charles has already posted several attractive handsome men with close set eyes, that might be anecdotal but obviously it is very much possible to be handsome with close eyes. here's another one in case it hasn't been posted already:

Ryan Reynolds

How could anyone say he isn't handsome?

(http://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/2012/12/51/4/192/1922398/49a4cec24601ed4e_ryanreynolds.xxxlarge/i/Ryan-Reynolds.jpg)

Lefort 3 sounds like a very invasive surgery, you better think long and hard if the result will indeed
be worth it.
Title: Re: Close-set eyes in men

just look at Ewan McGreggor and his noble, kingly looking visage with wide set gaze:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKIbHtn_rq8

Close set eyes on men makes one look meek, creepy and seedy as well as much less intelligent. I wonder why, there must be a strong hereditary advantage to having a wide set gaze. Probably better peripheral vision and ability hunting and gazing long distances in the Savannah.

yeah that would make sense cause it would put pressure on the zygomas and under-orbitals to move wider apart.

Quite simply this is something you just have to address if you're going for the overall good looking look and have close-set eyes.

Ryan Reynolds normally would look like a friggin freak.

LOL bro, are your previous posts in this thread as facetious as this one obviously is? The one about Dr. Sinn being able to increase PD by 6 mm really caught my eye. It is all I need, since I'm just going for normal-set eyes. To be honest I think that, for a guy with a relatively normal-sized head, anything above 70 mm is going to look really weird. 6 mm expansion would give me a PD of 65-66 mm.

no only that one was facetious. I did indeed hear that about IPD from another patient but I've lost touch with that person which is why I wanted Plosko Plus to ask Dr. Sinn about it during his phone consult. Hopefully it's true.

Great information! What's your pupillary distance, by the way? As far as eye spacing is concerned, a little goes a long way it seems. I morphed my eyes just 4 mm further apart (arriving at a PD of 63-64 mm) and look so much more balanced in the after.

Jim Morrison did well with his peepers, but they were large and expressive in addition to being close-set. He also, naturally, had wide, masculine facial bones and a rather small nose.

Come on dude, I hate close-set eyes almost(?) as much as you do, but there are obviously good-looking men (and women) with the trait.

Jared Leto is another good exemplar. I find him very annoying to look at, but obviously many women (and gay men) find him attractive. The guy has thin lips too, another flaw. Great jaw and cheekbones, though. And, again, a rather small nose.

Well I can't compare myself to Jared Leto --yeah if you basically have otheerwise jesus like traits (flawless tawney skin, beautiful teeth and a smile, amazing hair, piercing blue eyes, need I go on? the beauty game man, it's what everyone on earth is now obsessed with. But unfortunately I still think it's a genetic gift. It's an overall gestalt that makes one attractive, and overall harmony and the key to that is not something I think plastic surgery may ever really endow one with, yeah i'm going to try, but i'm just being honest, you can try and compensate in other ways, good body, dress well. But that whole "good looking" thing, I think it's just a gift from the gods. The "gods' favour some people, and the rest of us are in pain cause we don't.)

I dunno, I'll try a bit here and there, let's see what happens. This could all end very badly, or even worse, never end.

Jared Leto...no.  No no no


Guys if you want to enlarge your eyes just get contact lenses.  I recommend 14.5 or 15mm...one shade lighter at the most than the shade of your eyes....try "colors of the wind" or "desio" lenses (Note that desio are not good for dark eyes IMO)

Chace Crawford passes the ratio test, but his eyes don't look that close-set for some reason. Yet again: smallish nose, wide cheeks/jaws.

(http://cdn2.crushable.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/90223p2-crawford-b-gr-01-chace-crawford-ed-westwick-gossip-girl-basketball.jpg)

Josh Hartnett too passes the test (distance from midlip to pupil divided distance between pupils producing a ratio of or above 1.2) without his eyes looking particularly close together.

(http://www.celebrity9.com/img/josh-hartnett/josh-hartnett-1.jpg)

These guys both have essentially the same ratio that I have, so there must be something else contributing to my eyes looking very close together. Could it possibly be related to nasal bridge height or jaw shape?

Post by: Tiny on July 18, 2015, 11:36:11 AM

Are they like circle lenses? I've read that lenses that are larger than your typical ones block oxygen to the eyes and cause infection/blindness... I remember when it was a huge phase a few years back and a few big names in the blogging/youtube world complained that they were sent to the ER because they went "blind" for a while.

They're oxygen permeable....between 55 and 38% water depending on the brand.  I don't wear anything bigger than 15.  14.5mm is about the same size as my actual iris.

Desio is a high quality Italian brand and are about 30 or 40$ per pair, and last 3 months.  So not cheapy giant cosplay lenses.  Maybe the bloggers weren't washing them properly or leaving them in too long.  Tons of people wear coloured lenses for years with no issues.  One of my friends has worn Freshlook Colorblends (which are horribly uncomfortable and fake looking IMO) for at least 4 years.
Title: Re: Close-set eyes in men
Post by: Tiny on July 18, 2015, 02:34:28 PM
Freshshlook colorblends are so outdated. They were made back in the 80s. I wonder what the long term repercussions are with them too- can't be good.

I've heard of Desioeyes. They're hyped a lot on ig- might take a look at them.

Freshlooks are vile

Desio are only good for medium to light eyes.  They look freaky as hell on dark eyes, except possibly the hazel colour.  But the 'forest green' was great on my green eye.

Adore bitone give a natural tint, but not a big colour change.  Their 'yellow' looks nice on greeny, hazel or light brown eyes

Solotica give a strong colour change but look really unnatural on dark eyes too, as they have no fade out/diffusion around the pupil hole

As an artist, I have a question. I think I have a close set eyes, and maybe I'm wrong but I think this the principal reason why I really have problems to date women.
Cant I have an honest opinion here about me ? :) Do I need a surgery ?

Yes you do appear to have close set eyes.

They are generally a detriment to looks but can work "ok" if eye shape and rest of the features are ok. An example - https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/8c/82/64/8c8264e86d48265f041f83a5b89d44a3.jpg

I assume you mean short.

Well , it will not impact IPD (interpupillary distance) but yes , groom well. Take control of things that you can control.  Mid face can be shortened via lip lift and rhino and  a combination of the 2. To a degree only ofcourse. But as a male , proceed cautiously with any surgery if you decide to do it. Close set eyes sadly are kinda set in stone.

Close set eyes can be ok as long as the midface is not long.

But wouldn't a long mid face always create the appearance of close set eyes?

I mean, I know that there are standard measurements for the average distance between pupils in humans but wouldn't the eyes always give the appearance of being too close if the distance between the lips and eyes is bigger than the distance between the left and right eyes?

I would recommend measuring your inter-pupillary distance and distance between medial canthi and measuring the distance between medial and lateral canthus (palpebral fissure length) and comparing these to averages to see if there are any significant deviations, this might help you establish what the issue is.

You can move the eyeballs in pretty much any direction and can move the canthi but it is expensive and can be invasive

I realize that close set eyes can look very unattractive or in most cases just odd. But I also feel like it's the kind of thing you'd notice in someone as odd but you also wouldn't be able to point it out unless you aware that it's a thing. I had no idea this was a thing until this post, honestly.

I wonder how common too close set and too wide set eyes are on average?

But correcting this with surgery sounds insanely risky to me, like even more dangerous than Lefort III. I mean, wouldn't you mess with the optic nerve and potentially go blind?

However, if anyone has any before after photos of this I would love to see them!

Close set eyes aren't a major negative in men, provided that they aren't significantly close. Consider that other aspects of that facial region may be causing your particular issue, because many pleasant eye areas present with somewhat close set eyes.

I've read that using botox on the central lower forehead will relax the muscles thus leading to more perceived distamce, has anyone heard anything about this?

Orbital box osteotomy could be the answer. But it is very invasive and maybe dangerous. I have heard the master K. Salyer from dallas tx does it.

Are you guys not able to fathom how ridiculous it is to get the most invasive craniofacial surgery for a feature that barely matters?
Title: Re: Close-set eyes in men
Post by: ahamis on August 13, 2017, 03:16:40 PM
The most logical solution would be "lessening the width of your nose bridge so as to give an impression of greater width between your eyes."

This surgery that you guys r talking about is insane. If you don't have a major syndromic face, I don't believe any Cranio-facial surgeon would do it.

Close set eyes can be ok as long as the midface is not long.

LOL guess I'm screwed.

I can't measure the distance precisely but I do think they are a few mm close set, just from what I could roughly measure in person.

You don't have to measure in person. All to do is a non warped photo of yourself. Measure distance from inner to outer canthus which a measure of 'one eye'. If 'one eye' measure is between the eyes, then the eyes are not close set.

Not a great method to use, in the even that someone has horixontaly long eyes this measurment will always tell them that their eyes are too close, a far better method is to use the EME angle where you measure the angle formed from pupil to middle of upper lip border to the other pupil.

Tell it to Leonardo Da Vinci that it's not a great method to use. It's a classic one...and people with horizontally long eyes RARELY have them close set.

yea they dont but if you use the one eye measurement then you would often falsely diagnose them for close set eyes

Indeed people with horizontally 'long' eyes rarely have less than 'one eye' between them and there is no 'false diagnosis' with using the classic 'one eye between the eyes' method to evaluate if someone has close set eyes.

apparently if you eat like three packets of pop-rockets it'll widen your palate. and sinn said he could take some nutella and slather it on my zygos and that would widen my ipd but it would only last for 15 years and then resorb.

Haha.
Nutella. Mmmm, tasty paste. My Nutella paste wouldn't last far into the healing process. I'd be hardcore snacking my ass off, esp. if my mouth got wired shut.

Stop ripping on guys with close set eyes. (Looks around). Lately I've been examining  the sh*t out of my close set eyes. I think my eyes would be less distracting if I had a wider palate, but that's just personal opinion.

Well, I'm NOT 'ripping' close set eyes. Just saying that the most straight forward way to determine is the 'one eye between the eyes'. It is a relative measure that helps with a visual determination of if the mid face is really 'long'. Can also be used to access if another area should be made wider or longer.

It's the opposite. Since your jaw/gonial angles are so wide, it makes the close set eyes more noticeable.

BINGO.  Width or length added  will make close set eyes more noticeable.

Yeah, I know. Was only joking.  Saw the topic and laughed at myself. I'm okay with the "closeness" of my eyes. Accepted it, rather. Also interesting though, bc now when I do a deep internal visual of myself with a (wider) palate...it doesn't seem more appealing. I'm not sure that a little length (without ccr) would be all that upsetting for me. Lately everywhere I go, suddenly I'm now noticing anyone/everyone with close set eyes.  It's like a tribe. There should be a secret handshake or something...Recently noticed this girl with  what appeared to be a long face, medium to big skull, shorter than average forehead, normal jaws...it seemed, but the EXTRA closeness of her eyes threw everything into an utter mess making anything that was slightly off appear completely off.

To anyone with close set eyes: As I look back at the pictures of the "A-lister" "close-setters", does not seem as though they all follow the eyebrow rule for close call eyes. Esp. not Ryan Reynolds. Not sure how the heck he gets away with it. Gosling has always freaked me out. I also think he looked better pre plastic surgery.

I wouldn't worry about them. Prince Charles has somewhat close set eyes.
