Surprisingly, she insists that this unique feature has resulted in an increase of positive attention from men.
Despite people staring at her and making cruel comments, a woman refuses to shave her unibrow and moustache because it helps her ‘weed out’ potential love interests, despite the fact that some men – particularly teenagers – stare at her eyebrows like they’re a ‘third head’.
The 31-year-old Copenhagen (Denmark) woman said that she gets more attention when she has her unibrow than when she has a moustache or moustache.
Eldina said that she doesn’t feel less feminine because of her unibrow, and that her decision to be different has given her more confidence.
Eldina, who was raised in a small town, said that as she grew older, she became frustrated with the fact that men are expected to put in more effort and money to maintain their looks than women, who are expected to do the same.
‘I felt like there were very few options for women when it came to how to look,’ Eldina said.
‘In comparison to men, women have to put in much more effort and money just to be seen as visually acceptable, especially when it comes to being seen in public.’

If men don't shave and don't pluck their eyebrows, nobody notices or comments on it, and it's not unusual. Like many women, Eldina has learned to police herself.
For example, she said she didn't feel comfortable going out unless her eyebrows were the 'normal' size, and she wouldn't join the gym unless she had her legs completely shaved. In March 2020, she stopped plucking her eyebrows and removed her upper lip.

She declared, "I've decided to put my own needs first and I really don't give a damn about what others think of me." "It's amusing to see men gawking at my eyebrows as if they've never seen anything like it before."
I do not want it to become a big thing, no offense, but it is a choice that every woman has to make for themselves. I wish that people would not care about how a woman looks, no matter what she chooses to look like.
Growing up, I felt less feminine due to my voluminous eyebrows, which made me look like a brute.
When my body hair started to grow as I was a teenager, I noticed that most of the girls around me were panicking and shaving and plucking anything that could be plucked because they were trying to fit in as a new woman.
I took it slow, not making a big announcement, and some of my friends said that it was okay, some didn't even notice, and most just didn't care.
I've had random people approaching me on the street, telling me it was fine, and I've also had a couple of individuals shouting at me.
At first, it was uncomfortable, but she decided that if some people had nothing better to do than shout at strangers, so be it. She mentioned, "I ain't gonna waste my time on someone who clearly has plenty of time to spare."
Eldina believes that men comment on her appearance only out of self-doubt because it causes them to question their masculinity. “I have had some rude comments, but very few from adults.
Most of them have been from teenagers telling me how to do personal grooming or just commenting on my unibrow. I have had a couple of teenage boys shout at me on the street, but nothing too serious.
I think it’s really hard to comprehend gender roles when you’re a teenager and growing up, so seeing a woman do something that isn’t considered feminine can cause these teenagers to lash out because they start to doubt their own norms and their own understanding of what being a man is.”
When it comes to dates, Eldina says that having unbrushed and unkempt facial hair is a good thing because it helps her weed out 'princesses' who are immediately turned off by her appearance, and she gets more attention.
"The response has been almost 100% positive, though I'm sure there are some naysayers out there, but I really don't care," Eldina said.
A couple of adult guys have given me strange looks when they saw my messy legs and eyebrows, as if I had an extra head or something. 'If anything, I receive more good attention and get to weed out the more conservative people from the start.'
In a way, I am more secure because I am no longer frightened to look unusual, and I now feel like I can make more unconventional choices in general,' she explained.
'It has also helped me become more visually open, creative, and courageous.
'I believe you should do what you want. Of course, some occupations and places require you to fulfill a specific description, so there will be a compromise. I would proceed slowly and carefully because you never know how people may react.
'It's also about striking a balance; is the more natural look worth the hassle? Are you going to spend more time worrying about if people are staring and what they are thinking?
In this scenario, I would gently into it and see how it feels and what works best for you, but try it out; people may not notice or you may wind up feeling pretty comfortable.
I'd like to convey the idea that each of us is special in our own way, and that's totally fine. There's no such thing as right or wrong, but everyone, regardless of their gender, should have the freedom to express themselves through their appearance.
