Question

What is the meaning of masculine facial dimorphism?​

Answer 1

The degree of differences between male and female anatomical traits is called sexual dimorphism. It is suggested that the masculinity of facial features is a reliable indication of good health, or, alternatively, that masculine-looking males are more likely to achieve high status.

Answer 2

Body mass index (BMI) and its facial correlates influence a range of perceptions including masculinity and attractiveness. BMI conflates body fat and muscle which are sexually dimorphic because men typically have more muscle but less fat than women.
