Jason Momoa, Gaspard Ulliel and even Prince William - what can these men have in common besides beauty and masculinity? The answer is simple: scars. Each of them has a mark on his face, which, as it turned out, does not repel, but, on the contrary, attracts the female sex. "Scars adorn men" - this proverb has already received international recognition. Thanks to her, the male population of the planet, having scars on their bodies, not only ceased to be ashamed of their flaw, but also learned to demonstrate it with dignity.

The role of scars in men's lives

Many men have scars on their face or body, obtained in one way or another. Meeting such a person causes quite conflicting feelings. He will push someone away, and for someone it will cause genuine interest and a desire to get to know each other better.

"Scars adorn a man"- whoever said these words knew how women treat such men. Their delight and admiration for the representative of the stronger sex with this mark is not always clear to others. However, even the most fatal beauties were ready to lay their hearts at the feet of such a man.

According to research scientists, women see in men with scars more masculinity and sexuality than in others. In the subconscious, an image of a sort of "male" is instantly formed, who met in a fight with the enemy and emerged victorious from it.

However, the same experts found out one more fact. Scars on the face of men adorn their appearance in the event that they are not very noticeable and did not become a consequence of smallpox or other infectious disease.

Scars - decoration or ugliness?

The times of duels, battles for the land and the heart of the beauty are long gone. Yes, and now men are no longer fighting with the forest beast. Therefore, the origin of scars in many is quite trivial. Fell off a bike as a child, got into a fight with boys in the yard, cut himself on glass, etc.

Of course, such an explanation will not make a man sexual. And then dozens of stories come to their mind where they look like brave men who got scars in dangerous situations.

So do scars really make a man look good, or are they just an ugly mark that ruins their existence?

Scarred celebrities

Looking in the direction of cinema, one can recall many representatives of the stronger sex, who, despite the scar, builtan excellent career in the film industry.

• Harrison Ford. The actor is over 70 years old, and behind him are many star roles, fangirls in love and conquered women. But the star's face is noticeably "adorned" with scars on his chin, which he received as a result of the accident.
• Tommy Flanagan. This charismatic Scot got his marks in his youth. Then, after a party of one of his friends, unknown persons cut his face with a bottle, explaining later that they simply confused him with another guy.
• Joaquin Phoenix. The scar above the actor's lip, although very noticeable, does not spoil it at all. And despite the fact that Joaquin has a scar since birth, the guy’s appearance only benefits from this.
• French footballer Franck Ribery is no less famous. A large scar on his right cheek reminds him of a serious accident that happened when he was only 2 years old.
• Jason Momoa. A 35-year-old man drives a large half of the female population of the planet crazy. The scar on his left eyebrow gives him incredible magnetism. However, he received in a fight, which also adds to the actor even more masculinity.

Alain Delon. The French actor and conqueror of millions of women's hearts also has a scar on his chin. He got it in his youth, when, trying to impress a girl, he portrayed an acrobat. This scar even got a separate name "infernal"

Scarring popularity

Besides the fact that men get scars from accidents or diseases, in recent timesthe time has become relevant to create marks artificially.

This direction is called scarification. That is, scarring in the form of a special pattern or a thematic pattern.

The beginning of the fashion for scarring was laid by the book "Modern Primitives" by V. Weil and A. Jun. It tells about the underground subculture, which is close to the traditions of the ancient tribes from Africa or India.

These peoples considered the presence of scars not only beautiful, but also giving respect, status and honor to those who had them.

Scars were applied with special devices to make the scars convex or, conversely, deep. They were applied to any part of the body in the form of a pattern.

Today, young people, following the fashion for this rather painful activity, even scar their genitals.

Men, on the other hand, prefer the face, neck, arms or back, believing that this will give them masculinity and sexuality.

Film heroes with a mystery

Returning to the topic "Whether men are decorated with scars or not", we can recall such main characters of films or books as:

• Geoffrey de Peyrac from the famous "Angelica". A handsome count who, in the book and film, drove many women crazy despite his scarred face.
• Count De Bussy from "Countess de Monsoro". Both in the book and in the series, despite the scar, he appears to be a very masculine and seductive man. Alexander Domogarov did an excellent job with this role, provingthat the scar gives a man more charm and mystery, which cannot but attract women.
• Tony Montana from Scarface. The brutal drug dealer beckoned women with his masculine strength. Even though the scar proved he was dangerous, that didn't stop them from bonding with him.

Scars in conclusion

So, we can say that the proverb "scars adorn men" was not invented in vain. And it has a right to exist when it comes to small scars.

Still, in a person, the inner qualities of his personality are more important than the outer ones. And a man should adorn his actions. And the scar is just an addition to his appearance. And only a woman can decide whether he decorates or disfigures him.
