Researchers have shown that more symmetrical looks are regarded to be more appealing. The researchers discovered that the image with the tip of the nose totally centered was the most appealing to individuals. When it reached to the lips, they did not see the same impact. They believed that this was because the eye was not focused on the center point but rather at the sides where there was less symmetry. Noses are also thought to play a role in determining an individual's personality. People who have been described as "warm and friendly" tend to have longer and thinner noses, while those who are considered "tough and aggressive" have shorter and stouter noses. Noses can also be used to determine an individual's ethnicity. For example, Europeans generally have larger and longer noses than Asians or Africans. In conclusion, the nose plays an important role in determining an individual's appearance and thus their social status. This means that people with high positions will have better-looking nares than others. This is why many famous artists were obsessed with painting both beautiful faces and perfect noses.
