It's not true, pay no attention, it's because if you didn't have them, you'd look silly. So there function is to stop you looking silly. They do this in a manner of ways, from shopping tips to personal grooming advice; Or am I just lucky.

What is the function of the eyebrow in man?

I don't know why men have them but with women it is to drive us mad - like with Frida Kahlo and, to a lesser extent, Tracy Emin.
