For context, I'm an ex-mewer. In fact I spent most of my spring break (5 days out of 7) last year researching mewing. Serious research, like 10 hours a day lol. Learned a whole lot about mewing.

I'm gonna assume you are mewing to get girls. Or to get guys or look more attractive, same idea. So the goal is to get girls, and mewing is how you want to do it.

Mewing is simply not the best way to try and get girls. There are much better things you can do to improve your chances of getting a girl. For every hour you put into another activity, say exercising, picking better fashion, having better hygiene, improving your social skills, increasing the amount of time you are with women etc, you increase your ability with women way way more than with mewing. A good jawline is not as important as you think for getting women, it is just a minor factor, and I'll tell you why.

Search up a picture of Andrew Tate lol. This dude is recessed AF. And gets plenty, plenty of women. Why does he get plenty of women? Because he does all the things above, which are the things that are actually important. So there is hard evidence that a jawline is not necessary. (if you're really really worried, you'll notice he has pictures with a full beard. This basically mimics a sharp jawline attractive-wise, so just do that bro.)

Now think of all the people you know who have girlfriends, or are good with girls. How many of them have jawlines? How many have jawlines better than yours? Probably not most, and definitely not all. There's even more evidence.

Having a jawline is at least a minor factor though, obviously. So will mewing actually benefit your jawline? I say no. Most progress pictures have no progress. "Well no his maxilla is a little bit longer and there's more shadow and his jaw is a little bit more under his chin" - bro, you need to zoom all the way out. Like all the way to a girl's experience. A girl will see hair, face, legs, chest, arms, the environment, the lighting, your expression, if you're funny or not, etc etc. Literally imagine a room, or a club, where there's a guy and a girl talking to each other. That 0.1 inch difference in your maxilla AIN'T gonna make a damn difference bro. Let's be real. You still can't talk to girls, your forward growth ain't fixing that.

I'd say mewing makes negligible difference. 1% of mewers do progress posts because everyone else sees no difference. That 1% can be attributed to losing fat, chewing, puberty, your body changing for some reason, and for the progress photos that went viral here, photoshop. And there are definitely photoshopped posts on this sub, they're very easy to pull off.

I'd say chewing does make a difference. It'll definitely improve your jaw muscle look. I have falim gum that I should probably chew more often, but I forget about it. Probably will care about it more when I care about girls more lol. While it'll make some difference, do you really think its anything compared to exercising etc? Losing weight makes the biggest difference to jawline, and that has no connection to mewing. Its just hard work.

The only other important thing I've learned from my mewing research is swallowing technique. Watch the two Mike Mew videos on swallowing, actually practice that. And then force yourself to swallow food with that technique. For most of you, your swallowing technique is fine, for some of you, its completely fucked up. (Side note, I used to do a tiny swallow every time I chewed, and I swallowed with food at my cheeks. This fucked up technique led to slow eating my whole life, I suspect hot/spicy Indian food caused it. If you fix this, you fix slow eating. To fix it, I took almond sized bites of wet mirchi bhaji and tried to swallow it with technique. I gagged 4x and teared up with every bite. For 2 hours. Expect it to be torture, but you don't have to be as extreme as me. I fixed it in 2 days.)

I'm also skeptical of Mike Mew. He outright lied on his most famous video, saying that the girl who uploaded the pinned progress pic on this sub improved the shape of her nose through mewing. She said in her post that she had nose surgery though. There's also obviously an incentive for Mike Mew to promote mewing because he has a business centered around it, the more popular mewing is, the more people use his app/consult with him, the more money he makes. I'm skeptical, but not against.

My opinions on braces are mixed, since I believe in doing natural things. Probably don't get them if its worth the risk of more downward growth? And get them if your teeth are fucked. Wisdom teeth extraction is pretty unnatural, probably don't do that.

And if you're thinking about getting MSE, MARPE, lefort, or any of this surgical stuff, bro. Why would you undergo medical surgery just to improve your jawline? That's very unnatural and can cause long term harm for obvious reasons. Its like getting leg-lengthening surgery to be taller. Please at least just stick to natural mewing if you will not listen to this post.

TL;DR: Mewing is a waste of time, chew gum, get off this forum, and talk to girls.
