So I've always been blessed with an abundance of hair follicles
in the brow region and ever since my personal discovery of tweezers between the 11th and 12th grades
I've long suspected that people without unibrow actually get treated better by the general population.
so as a firm believer in the scientific method I decided to test out this hypothesis
So I went to my hollywood makeup artist buddy, Dennis, and he hooked me up with a killer unibrow
and then I went out and I would engage people and then just ask them an open-ended question and
Generally when I would walk away things like this would happen a lot
But as a control for the experiment I also went out with no unibrow to the exact same locations wearing the exact same clothes,
asking the exact same questions.
You know if a good place to eat around here
So for example. This is response with no unibrow
But [that's] really good well. Thank you and
Then here's the response with the unibrow
do you know a good place to eat around here.
Now this represents a relatively small sample size of about 200 people
But here's what I found without the unibrow the average response was about 33 words long
But with the unibrow the average response was only 16 words long.
so we have to accept our hypothesis that unibrow discrimination
is in fact very real.
Which is crazy
because that
Basically means people will be more than twice as willing to engage in a conversation with you based strictly on whether or not you have
A well-established gap of hair between here and here on your face.
so another interesting observation
Was in cases where I [had] the unibrow a person by themselves would respond with an average of 18 words
But if it was a group the average number of words from the entire group was only 14
And if you do have prominent brow hair one final bit of advice is if you approach a group of teenage girls
Thirtyfive percent of the time when you walk away, they will try and discreetly take your picture without realizing
they're being filled by three separate cameras.
here I am.
and here
I am about ten seconds away from lining in the Instagram feed of nine hundred of her closest friends
So according to the data having a unibrow will in fact negatively influence your social interactions with other people.
uh, (I mean), I knew it
who even let him.
look away. I'm hideous I
(bert)
I knew there was a reason I've been living with another man for forty years.
*laughs* Hey, that's why I always just kind of assumed
Nevermind the point is you can do something about this
now you promise this won't hurt, right?
aaaaaah
aah
aaah
Hey, not bad
