Is there a correlation between a woman's facial structure and her chest/build? (Potentially NSFW)

Asked by elbanditoroso (33578points) February 27th, 2013

This is what happens when you have a couple of guys sitting at a bar, drinking beer, and pondering the world around us.

One of the guys posited a theory that nose and cheek structure correlates with chest size and shape. His observation was that women with high cheekbones and a small nose tended to have smaller chests, and that women with larger, puffier cheeks and faces tended to have larger breasts.

At first, the rest of us told him that he was completely full of it, but after looking at a random sample of the women in the place – all ages, various builds, just a random group, I had to agree that there appeared to be some sort of tie between them. (note: the sample size was roughly 30–35 – this was totally non-scientific)

Of course, this could be a perfect example of random correlation (correlation is not causation), but maybe not.

Is there any correlation? Or is this totally bogus?

We need more sampling. We need more beer to really make a serious determination here. I’m calling my buddy for a bar research expedition tonight. GQ. Now I have another option when it comes to observing women, superimposing on their faces a potential image of their chest each time I look at them. This is breaking new ground.

Hmmmm. At first blush (no, I’m not blushing) I can only comment that it’s possible that “women with larger, puffier cheeks and faces” might be carrying more weight overall, hence larger everything. I have very high cheekbones and a small nose, but all parts of me get bigger with weight gain and smaller with weight loss.

It sounds like more research is in order.

No, not at all.

I endorse @picante‘s theorem. I know women with slender, high-cheekboned faces, that have some pretty hefty yabo’s, but when they put on a bit of weight, get huge.

What you’ve got there is a steaming pile of horse shite, harmless banter though, so whatever.

@ucme, that’s certainly a thoughtful and detailed refutation of a theory.

Oh it’s way simpler than that, that shit can be dismantled with the minimum of effort…just like that.

In my exhaustive efforts to ferret out data about a relationship between facial features and breast size, I came across this article (nsfw when you scroll down) which looks at masculine and feminine features in women. It is an article that investigates the subject deeply, and provides links to many sources of pictorial data on women erogenous features.

For those who serious about scientifically investigating this subject, I highly recommend you… uh… read this article. As I have. Quite thoroughly. Ok. At least I looked at the pictures. ;-)

Perhaps their cheekbones stick out and their cheeks are less puffy since they are ‘slimmer’ therefor their boobs are smaller. The more weightier I get the more boobage I acquire. However, I do have tiny friends with waists like wasps that have big pendulous breasts and high cheekbones. Meh! No idea

@wundayatta – I can’t read this now, at work, but what little I saw on the first page seems to take the subject seriously. Thanks for finding it.

Why not? Tall women with slender, willowly bodies usually have defined cheekbones and small-ish breasts.

I think it’s a spurious relationship, but am more than happy to join in any research efforts necessary to test this hypothesis. I believe that breasts need to be tested for size and firmness manually. It would be too impersonal, not to mention painful, to use calipers. I volunteer to be the measurer. No, don’t thank me. It’s a hard job, but someone has to do it.

@burntbonez – what a sacrifice in the name of scientific discovery

I’m gonna’ go with “no”, just based on my own body, and my female family members. I used to be super skinny, have high cheekbones and a normal sized nose, but have always been big chested. Pretty much every woman in my family has a D cup or larger, even the very tiniest and fine-featured among us. That’s not to say that the boobs don’t get larger when we gain weight, they do. But we all started out with a surplus of boobage to begin with.
