This gesture can be considered a greeting from afar. It has been used everywhere since ancient times. Raised eyebrows is a universal signal that is used even by monkeys, which speaks of its innate nature. Eyebrows rise for a split second, and then drop. The purpose of this gesture is to draw attention to the face in order to subsequently implement an effective exchange of signals. The only country where this signal is not used is Japan. In Japan, such a gesture is considered impolite and even offensive, because it has a pronounced sexual overtones.
Raised eyebrows This is an unconscious signal that indicates that you have noticed the presence of another person. It may be associated with a reaction of fear or surprise. That is, it can be interpreted as "I am surprised and frightened by your presence" or as "I noticed you, but I am not afraid." Passing by strangers on the street or meeting with those who we do not like, we never raise eyebrows. In turn, people who do not make such a gesture during a greeting are often perceived as potentially aggressive. Do a simple experiment, and you will immediately notice the power of this completely natural gesture. Sit in the hotel lobby and raise your eyebrows every time someone passes by. Most people will repeat your gesture and smile back, and some will even talk to you. Always use this gesture for people you like or like.
