YOUR AMAZING BODY

HAVING a wide face could mean you’re a better fighter, according to studies.

In 2014, psychologists studied photographs of 200 martial-arts experts who had competed in tournaments of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, based in the US. The scientists found that those with wider faces, relative to body size, were far more likely to win fights.

They say evolutionary factors mean we are primed to view wide faces as aggressive and frightening, making us less confident when we confront this characteristic in an opponent.
