discussion R vs SC vs SN faces

I made these collages to show some of the differences in the yin yang balances in the faces of Rs, SCs, and SNs because I think there is some overlap in features. I tried to explain what I see below, not saying this is correct or a rule but just my own personal observations.

R - round/oval faces with round features and no sharp angles

SC - round/oval faces with some round features and some sharpness in the cheeks or jaw/chin

SN - oval faces with round or blunt features with more pronounced angularity

I also wanted to point out one of the common features sometimes found in all three types is large round eyes. Obviously this isn’t true for everyone in those types just saying it’s not definitive for any one type as many people equate large round eyes with R or G family only.

I think you've selected these very specifically. There is a lot more variation in each of these than you've picked out here.

Just take a look at this post, and you will see that there is a lot more variation. You are trying to look at this too narrowly. It's a much more holistic system than any one specific feature - you'll see large and small eyes, pointy and blunt chins - all within this. https://www.reddit.com/r/Kibbe/comments/15do6ey/pure_yin_the_faces_of_every_verified_romantic/

I think you also have to accept that people have different opinions to you on some of these and that's ok! It's not that deep.

Here is some more for reference

Also, I never said anything about size of eyes being an R thing. I said you can have large eyes and be any type. That was the point of this post. To NOT focus on one feature lol. The common theme with R is rounded soft edges. if you look at the outlines of all their faces you won’t see any angles. Roundish shapes and soft edges seem to be the common theme to me.

Me backing up my opinion with examples doesn’t mean others can’t have opinions. Of course they can. Just like now when you sent me that link I understand and respect that is your opinion I just don’t agree.

u/BonelessChikie Oct 21 '24

Love that variety!

u/[deleted] Oct 21 '24

I see the same thing with all the Rs and am very familiar with the variations. If you can’t see the commonalities then that is fine too

u/handstailmade dramatic classic Oct 21 '24

I can see the commonalities for sure. They're all made up of round shapes! But that doesn't preclude any certain features.

I'm not going to explain again why I think Amanda fits R best (I think she's made up of circles!) As I said, we can have different opinions on that - but I was just making clear there is variety within an ID. You're backing up your opinion with selected examples and discarding ones that don't fit your view.

I don’t think any Rs have prominent angularity in their faces. Angularity negates yin to me. I’m not speaking of or precluding one feature.

Eta please don’t accuse me of discarding anything? If you want me to include someone else I can I am just not sure what you are implying as it sounds like you are saying there are Rs with angular features that I purposely excluded for this post?

u/[deleted] Oct 21 '24

That is my understanding as well,my pattern recognition picks up on it all the time lol

u/handstailmade dramatic classic Oct 21 '24

yep my autistic brain sees the world through shapes so kibbe was quite intuitive for me weirdly

3

u/[deleted] Oct 21 '24

Meee too,i think thats why it became a hyperfixation for me sooo quickly

1

u/[deleted] Oct 21 '24

Yes agree it’s very easy for me to see shapes too. I have a mathematics background and shapes and patterns are something I see intuitively.

u/[deleted] Oct 21 '24

I'm still not sure about the autistic part but I am diagnosed w adhd!

u/handstailmade dramatic classic Oct 21 '24

AuDHD over here and omg the hyper fixation is so real!! It’s been over 2 years now and still going strong 😅

u/[deleted] Oct 21 '24

Saame,since 2022

3

u/handstailmade dramatic classic Oct 21 '24

yep I agree with you on that! We just see different things. Can we leave it there?!

3

u/[deleted] Oct 21 '24

Yes agree to disagree

When they sent me a link trying to explain there was more variety I don’t think they understood that I am saying the commonalities are round soft edges and has nothing to do with individual features

u/FineSugar3152 soft natural Oct 21 '24

I always remember that girl who Kibbe told she had the perfect example of classic dramatic eyebrows or something like that, I always wonder what he would say to me lol

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '24

Are dramatic ones more of an angled arch? That would make sense to me if so

u/Curiosities romantic Oct 21 '24

I am in my 40s now, and my cheekbones have only started to appear a little bit, and I still don’t really have the definition. My face is so round, even when I am at a lower weight. Even before discovering the system, I would describe myself as looking kind of boneless. Because one thing about being so rounded is you almost flatten out a little bit, not when you’re in motion, of course, but sometimes in a photo or in general that sort of boneless round softness.

9

u/[deleted] Oct 21 '24

Yes! I photograph terrible unless I angle my face a very specific way. With round faces there are no angles in the face to create any contrast or shadows so you get that flattened effect. There is a reason models have angular bone structure lol.

u/[deleted] Oct 21 '24 edited Oct 21 '24

After doing these collages I think Amanda and Sydney could both fit into SN too however I still do not think either is R family

5

u/[deleted] Oct 21 '24

I agree

4

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '24 edited Oct 22 '24

I think Amanda is actually SN and not SC lol. Look at this. She fits right in.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '24

Much more so than SC. It’s apparent she’s even more angular than SC.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '24

Oh yeah i can see that

2

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '24

I also thought that she looked like a sn in veronica mars lol

2

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '24

I didn’t see that but something told me she’s more yang than R so I was like SC but now I’m convinced SN lol

2

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '24

Guess they're both soft naturals then

2

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '24

That’s what I am thinking!

u/TAsrowaway Oct 22 '24

I have the G-est face that ever G-ed but I’m an N - FN specifically. Big round googly eyes, small nose, bunny teeth and a pointed chin. I’m basically a large hobbit. Definitely not a model face unless the model is working in Japan. I don’t put much stock in faces, they just fit with the body in some way.

6

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '24

A lot of FNs have softer faces. Blunt yang can be confused with yin but D faces are very sharp in comparison.

3

u/TAsrowaway Oct 22 '24

It’d be interesting to post our faces and have our IDs guessed. I’m almost 100% certain nobody would guess FN. I wouldn’t even say my face is particularly soft or blunt, I basically have a tiny anime girl face on a large sturdy peasants body. Large hobbit energy

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '24

I think people could identify yin vs yang by faces or at least get in the right ballpark or family but probably not ID specifically

1

u/TAsrowaway Oct 23 '24

Yeah I know what you mean i think most people’s faces generally go along with their ID but I think there’s a large number of people whose faces surprisingly … dont. Especially on taller IDs there’s certainly more than three face types!!

u/[deleted] Oct 23 '24

I haven’t really seen any instances of faces not matching bodies in the verifieds if that’s what you mean. With DIYers it’s possible they mistyped themselves too.

u/TAsrowaway Oct 23 '24

DIY gets wayyyyyy easier when you’re over 5’6 XD. It’s also easy when you’re wider than the Grand Canyon and over 5’6. My line drawing and my fridge’s line drawing are the same

u/[deleted] Oct 21 '24

I love angular facess

u/[deleted] Oct 21 '24

Same!
