Aesthetics question: compromising face shape for muscle? When to cut?

20% fat is a good place to start cutting. Girls do love a lean face. I’ve noticed a stark difference in IOIs between bulking and cutting (ie fat face vs lean face)

It's hard to bulk up and get strong without putting on some fat. Bulk until you hate yourself. Then cut below 15% while trying to maintain all your gains. Think of it as a long-term investment

Bulking is a hard, dirty, and uncomfortable process if you do it right. But it is necessary. Gaining a little fat is normal while bulking, just embrace it and commit to a year minimum of bulking up. Grow a beard while you bulk and then shave when you are lean and show off that sweet jaw line. I always cut or do a mini cut if I get close to losing my abs. You should always have at least the outline of where your abs should be when bulking, if you can not see that then you are too fat.

there's no clear cut way to tell when you need to cut and when you need to bulk (exceptions if your bodyfat is at unhealthy levels, which is not the case). if you have specific fitness goals, you should schedule your nutrition accordingly.

if you're just wanting to gain strength and feel better with yourself, it all comes down to what you prefer doing. if you are not liking the shape your face is taking then maybe you should cut. it all comes down to personal opinion

15-20% BF is time to start cutting again.

I honestly would advice first to cut and then to grow. It's incredibly hard to stick to the diet when you are normal eating let alone when you have been overeating.

TL:DR: Cut at 15% bulk at 10% or less. Also don't do a dirty bulk figure out your macros and eat 250-500k/cals of carbs. If you just eat whatever you end up having to end your bulk early, plus it's alot easier to go off the rails on a dirty bulk. Practice some patience and self control and stick to a slow (but proper) lean bulk, and you can lean bulk longer.
