David Gandy PSL Score & Dimorphism Breakdown
David Gandy represents the upper ceiling of the Dimorphism pillar (7.8/8.0) on the PSL scale. His craniofacial skeleton features heavy supraorbital brow bossing, deep-set blue orbitals, a prominent nasal bridge and a broad, square lower jaw that aged into an even stronger silhouette in his thirties and forties.

David Gandy's 4-Pillar PSL Scorecard (7.1 / 8.0)
David Gandy places in the True Adam tier (Top 0.02%, roughly 9.4 / 10 on a conventional 1-to-10 scale). Below is how David Gandy's craniofacial structure grades across the four weighted PSL pillars:
| PSL Pillar | Weight | David Gandy's Score | Population Mean | Primary Anatomical Driver |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Facial Harmony | 35% | 6.9 / 8.0 | 4.0 / 8.0 | Midface ratio, vertical thirds & interocular spacing (ESR) |
| Sexual Dimorphism | 25% | 7.8 / 8.0 | 4.0 / 8.0 | Supraorbital rim, bigonial width & lip-to-philtrum balance |
| Bone Angularity | 25% | 7.2 / 8.0 | 4.0 / 8.0 | Zygomatic arch projection, gonial angle & submalar hollow |
| Miscellaneous / Soft Tissue | 15% | 6.8 / 8.0 | 4.0 / 8.0 | Hair framing, brow density, lash contrast & skin clarity |
David Gandy's Craniofacial Ratios (fWHR, Canthal Tilt & Gonial Angle)
Unlike subjective 1-to-10 ratings, PSL anthropometry measures scale-invariant distances and angles between facial landmarks. Here are David Gandy's key craniofacial ratios compared against the adult population average:
| Craniofacial Metric | David Gandy | Population Mean | Structural Read |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dimorphism Pillar | 7.8 / 8.0 | 4.0 / 8.0 | Benchmark adult male skeletal robustness |
| fWHR (Facial Width-to-Height) | 1.92x | 1.78x - 1.85x | Broad, commanding upper-face frame |
| Bigonial-to-Bizygomatic Ratio | 0.91 | 0.78 - 0.84 | Heavy mandibular width matching the zygomas |
| Canthal Tilt | +3.0° | +1.0° - +2.5° | Deep-set hooded orbitals beneath heavy brow ridge |
| Gonial Angle | 120° | 125° - 132° | Strong vertical ramus and defined jaw corner |
Primary Facial Halos (Peak Masculine Dimorphism & Brow Ridge Projection)
A facial halo is a high-leverage craniofacial feature that elevates the entire face's first impression. David Gandy's signature halos are:
Heavy supraorbital rim and low-set masculine brows
Deep orbital sockets shield the eyes from overhead light, producing high-contrast eye framing.
0.91 bigonial-to-bizygomatic lower-third power
His jaw width + dense stubble styling reinforces lower-third mass and clean neck-to-jaw separation.
Why high-dimorphism bone structure ages so well
Heavy skeletal support in the maxilla, zygomas and mandible resists soft-tissue descent over time. Combined with controlled facial hair density along the mandibular border, high-dimorphism structure often peaks visually between ages 28 and 42.
