Why shorter distance of EyeBrow from Medial-Canthus is better?

In a study at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore by Jeffrey E Schreiber (et al, 2005) finds that the margin between eye and eyebrow is a sexually diamorphic feature. A smaller gap is a more masculine feature. They conclude from their research that the ideal distance of the medial canthus (inner edge of the eye) to medial brow (inner edge or the start of the eyebrow) is a “ratio [of] 0.547 ± 0.177” to the eye’s width. This ideal eye to brow distance is also less than their recommendations for females (0.573 ± 0.126), further supporting the idea that males with a smaller gap are more desired.

Dr.Sclafani (2010) at the Department of Otolaryngology, The New York Eye & Ear Infirmary also concluded that “Men desired a lower brow with a lower tail and a less accentuated peak.”. So this aesthetic preference for a small male eye to brow gap aligns between the genders, both men and women prefer a smaller male gap.

In a large meta-analysis study carried out in the Mayo Clinic, Rochester by Asaad et al. (2019) they demonstrated that “eyebrow height showed significant increase with ageing at the level of medial canthus, and the level of mid-pupil. However, no significant difference was found at the level of lateral canthus”.” Ageing eyebrows give the impression of a tired or sad appearance”.
