Facial mask to show attractiveness of face




Characteristics of the mask:

1] prominent supra-orbital (brow) ridges (frontal bossing) resulting
in deep set appearing eyes

2] flatter and narrower eyebrows

3] slightly narrower eyes

4] eyes less "wide open" (eye lids slightly closed)

5] slightly longer and/or wider nose

6] slightly thinner lips (especially upper lip)

7] square/angled and or larger jaws

Like the idealized female face, the idealized male face advertises health and as such essentially conforms to and is symmetric like the female Golden Mask.

However, as a result of the male's primitive evolved function to provide hunted food and other resources as well as to protect the family and tribe, males have evolved to be perceived as attractive to the degree that they physically advertise those abilities.

Likewise, the human male face has evolved to appear different than the female face so as not to be sexually attractive to other males, since this might interfere with and compete with his attempts to mate with females.

The male variant of the archetypal face is a slightly modified version of the female face which appears more intimidating, protective, and sexually dissimilar (i.e. non-female) than the female archetypal face.
