The face of a person attracts attention in the first place. The impression of masculinity or femininity of the image consists of gestures, facial expressions and facial features. The superciliary arches have a great influence on the perception of a person. With pronounced eyebrows, a person seems brutal, in their absence, the face becomes feminine.
Superciliary arches and frontal tubercles
The front part of the skull consists of maxillary and zygomatic bones, which are formed in pairs. There is a single bone of the lower jaw. Most of the face is occupied by the frontal bone, above which the frontal tubercles are present, and beneath them are the superciliary arches. Along the edges of the arches, the bone ends in the eye sockets and nose bridge.
Men have more pronounced superciliary arches and frontal tubercles. In women, facial features are softer and calmer. The difference is due to the fact that the sexual development of boys and the period of active growth occurs later. During this period, in men, the production of the male hormone testosterone increases, which contributes to the development of a pronounced superciliary arch.
The difference between a male face and a female
The structure of the skeleton of a man and a woman has differences. The bones of a man are usually wider than the female bones. A similar comparison can be made for the bones of the skull. The male skull has more pronounced temporal arches, bones of the cheekbones and jaw.
The main difference between the two sexes is noticeable in the upper part of the face. The female forehead is less developed, the superciliary arches are less pronounced. The eyebrows of women are high, raised above the eyes and curved.
When drawing a line from the edge of the hair to the area of the superciliary arches, it becomes noticeable that the female forehead is sloping stronger than the male. The distance from the hair on the head to the eyebrows in men is greater than in women. When viewing photos of the superciliary arches, it becomes clear that the male eyebrows hang over the eyes, making the forehead massive.
Symbol of aggression
Western scientists came to the conclusion that the external structure of the skull can determine the nature of a person and behavior. Particular attention in the study of the problem was given to the dependence of the forehead and eyebrows on the amount of testosterone in men.
The study of the skull of an ancient person, a descendant of the Pithecanthropus, allowed us to conclude that the shape of the skeleton and skull changed as a result of evolution. Changes lasted several millennia and contributed to the development of communication skills among ancient people.
The striking features of the ancestors of men are the square jaw and large superciliary arches. These features were also transmitted to a modern man in a milder form. A person with a pronounced chin and eyebrows seems more courageous and strong.
Scientists came to the conclusion that the main reason why the skull developed in this way was a demonstration of aggression and leadership among the like. The one who seemed more terrible and gloomy turned out to be stronger.
An analogy can be drawn with male mandril monkeys. Male dominants have bulges on the head of a bright color. It is worth noting that these monkeys have high levels of testosterone compared to other monkeys. This indirectly indicates that pronounced superciliary arches appear due to the high level of male hormone in the body. Such a man has leadership qualities and masculinity.
Eyebrows and Testosterone
American anthropologist and researcher Helen Fisher believes that the superciliary arches and some other facial features of men grow under the influence of testosterone. Thanks to this, you can find out how courageous a man is. According to his method, a man with a massive jaw is a strong and powerful man who is ready to fight in any life circumstances. Such a person is a leader who is used to subjugating others.
Women evaluate the appearance of men, paying attention primarily to the face. The general impression affects the opposite sex, but the person will give more social information. In appearance, one can evaluate physical strength, which may cause fear or admiration. A person with large features looks more menacing. A woman, evaluating a man, intuitively decides whether he can become the protector of her and offspring. A person with pronounced superciliary arches seems more experienced and strong in opposing other people.
Thus, testosterone is the main cause of masculinity, brutality and the culprit of large facial features.
Eyebrows in men - an indicator of strength
Helen Fisher believes that a woman chooses her man on the top of her face. The assessment is incredibly accurate. Masculinity is the main choice for a woman. Evaluation occurs even if the rest of the body is hidden from view. According to the photo of the superciliary arches and eyes, women intuitively understand the character of a man.
The female eye analyzes and critically perceives the information received. Pronounced superciliary arches indicate a high amount of male hormone, sufficient strength and a strong human immune system. According to studies, such men are less likely to get sick and better perceive vaccines.
Causes of Eyebrow Pain
In some cases, pain occurs in the superciliary arches. As a rule, this is due to the development of diseases of the sinuses of the nose: sinusitis, rhinitis or sinusitis. Inflammation is associated with the development of viruses or bacteria in the sinuses. To determine the treatment should consult a doctor.
The cause of sinusitis is most often bacteria. The cause of inflammation may be as follows:
- adenoids;
- curvature of the nasal septum;
- not completely cured viral diseases;
- allergic reactions.
Nasal congestion and the absence of secretions indicate inflammation, copious discharge from the nose indicates the onset of the disease.
Eyebrow pain can be caused by excessive stress on the body. Rest will help restore strength and relieve unpleasant sensations. In any case, you can not let everything go by its own accord, with prolonged pain it is necessary to seek medical help. The earlier treatment is started, the more favorable the prognosis. With advanced sinusitis, the pain in the area of the eyebrows will intensify and without treatment will turn into a bacterial form.
