Long eyelashes weren't a good thing...What is the most attractive length?
|
Professor Farid Pazuhi's research team at Plymouth University in the UK published the findings in the international journal 『Archives of Sex Behavior』.
The research team generated images of female faces of different races on a computer, applied 11 eyelash length changes for each face, and asked 120 participants to evaluate their health, attractiveness, and sexual openness perceptions.
As a result, health and attractiveness scores were highest when the eyelash length was about one-third the width of the eye. In addition, the longer the eyelashes, the higher the sexual openness (sexual acceptance), but the health and attractiveness scores tended to be lower.
Professor Pazuhi "Eyelash length has a positive correlation with sexual acceptance, suggesting that long eyelashes may be a sign of openness to temporary relationships." This is a result of showing that attractiveness and sexual perception can work differently.
In other words, moderately long eyelashes naturally emphasize the shape of the eyes, but are not exaggerated, so they are recognized as the most attractive.
On the other hand, short eyelashes can be recognized as health problems or signs of aging, and overly long fake eyelashes can be unnatural and less attractive, the research team explained.
Dr. Pazuhi said, `Eyelashes are evolutionarily capable of protecting the eyes from external pollution, excessive evaporation, and stress from airflow, and can also act as indicators of health conditions," he said.
