Dimpled Chin

May 15, 2007 at 9:31 pm | In Just for Fun | 29 Comments

I’ve met very few women who sport dimpled chins, commonly referred to by young ‘uns as a “bum chin”. I had read the dimpled chin is genetic, as are dimples generally. It is also used, even to this day, as an indicator or marker of certain personality traits. I find the art of reading faces, physiongnomy and linking them to personality or character traits fascinating. Quite similar to what the psychologists used to do in the hey-day; identify potential and active criminals from facial features and head bumps and traits and temperaments of ordinary people according to where the bumps on their head were located and their shape – phrenology!

I digress. Back to dimples. I find dimples cute and over the years I’ve grown to like my dimpled chin and cheeks too.

What do you think about dimples? Dont they give the individual a “childish” look? Mischevious perhaps?

Awwww… you have a dimpled chin? I can’t remember seeing a woman with one. Interesting!

I had to go look in the mirror to check if i have cheek dimples! I think i do… though they’re not very prominent. I remember my cousin once “aww”-ing at me when i was a lot younger, saying i had cute dimples. It seems they have diminished, along with my overall cuteness.

I don’t have a dimpled chin, although I *do* have a somewhat cleft chin! It doesn’t look so great…

It’s weird – I have leopsided dimples! I have one in my right cheek when I smile, and another one on the left side of my mouth. How bizarre is that?!

I don’t like dimples so much as chubby cheeks… my one and only favourite baby (well, he’s not a baby anymore… he’s four years old now… but he’s still *my* baby!) has the most adorable, chubbiest cheeks ever, masha’Allah!

*Sniffles* I miss him now… (‘cuz he lives in my old city and I wasn’t allowed to pack him in my suitcase when we moved)

Anonymouse: Lopsided dimples? I’ve seen them on a few people, so its not as weird as you think

Ruby: Aww, why do you hate it? Must be a pain in the rear for men with dimply chins when having to shave.

Dimples are supposedly genetic, but I think it depends on where the dimples are! Some people do begin to “grow” dimples as they age, and some “lose” their dimples with age.

Its all a mystery!

Salam,
Found this blog today and noticed this post. LOL, I have a dimpled chin and my friend think it’s really cute. I let them put their finger in it-it makes them happy My primary school friend had really cute dimple cheeks, and whenever I used to say to her “your dimples are soo cute,” she’d turn around and say “I don’t have dimples!” She was in denial. Her dimples were gorgeous.

I’ve got dimples on both sides of my cheeks. Before I didn’t really care for them, but lately I’ve been noticing them more. Today I was speaking to a woman and she commented on how beautiful they were. I don’t even have to smile big before they show. I don’t even smile much beacause I don’t really like my teeth. Yet, when I do smile in public people tell me I have a beautiful smile. They’re unique and I love them. And yea, I find others with dimples cute.

Haven’t you heard the expression, dimple in the cheek, many hearts you seek. Dimple in the chin, many hearts you win. That sure has been true in my case.

um…i came across this blog while searching for pics of people who have dimples in their chin, i mean like TWO dimples in their chin, like, one in the left corner of the chin, and one in the right corner of the chin. i have such dimples and i’m really selfconscious about it. i often find myself avoiding to smile because i know they show a lot. they are visible even when i speak. i used to like em until the 5th or 6th grade when a classmate told me ‘my dimples sucked, that they didn’t look good on my face’. she ruined my confidence completely. well, she was the only one who said that to me, but i haven’t been getting too many compliments on em either.[besides my family and bf] people just act like they[the dimples] aren’t even there. i’m beginning to think that they look too ugly and people avoid to bring them into discussion because of that. i had a classmate who has two dimples in the chin and two in the cheeks, and…i think that’s awesome… anyone who shares the same problem? heeeelp!!!

- I’m also female and have two dimples on my chin which I didn’t really pay much attention to until my daughter mentioned that she had inherited them. I think they’re cute and hadn’t realized that people looked at other people’s chins that closely! As far as I’m concerned…if you’ve got it, flaunt it! They’re just envious, lol.

I have a dimpled chin! I was told recently “dimple in chin- devil within” and I’m a bit unsure as to what he meant by it. I like it, however. None of my immediate relatives have one so the unique feature was greatly embraced by my mother, therefore, giving it a special place in my heart.

I find the art of Psychology, especially the study of personality traits and characters from facial features and phrenolgy fascinating. Woo hooo its like CSI! Thanks for that piece. So out of curiosity, what does having Dimples say about your personality? I have’nt seen any Criminals or violent thugs with Dimples on Crimewatch lately lol. Maybe i havent been watching closely!

One of my twin daughters has a dimple in her chin. I’d never noticed one on a woman before so now I am taking notice. I want to make sure she doesn’t feel self-conscious about it. Help!

- Hi. It shouldnt make one self-conscious, I think if people say it makes them look endearing and cute then that’s a compliment!

I have a dimple chin and I am amazed at the people who have said something about it. My boyfriend even pointed out that it gets “worse” when I get mad. I guess the way my muscles in my face tence up, makes it looks deeper. I have come to like the dimple, even though I was picked on in grade school about. It is funny how many people notice it and say something though.

well im a woman and i have a dimpled chin. i go it from my father.
little kids think dimpled chims are something worth teasy about, however adults oftern call it a sign of beauty! so there you go.
ps ofcourse women have dimples to it has to do with how the jaw bone fusses together befor your born, nothing to do with being male or female!
