| news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080409/sc_nm/britain_faces_dc_5 Reuters How to identify the look of love -- or lust By Avril Ormsby Wed Apr 9, 12:00 PM ET LONDON (Reuters) - Members of the opposite sex can spot whether someone is after a one-night stand or something more permanent just by looking at their face, scientists said on Wednesday. On men, a square jaw, large nose and small eyes are more likely to betray the look of lust than of love. Women found men with softer features more likely to opt for commitment. But the Durham University-led research found that while men can judge whether a woman is footloose-and-fancy-free or not, there is no common facial detail to explain it. About 700 heterosexual people took part in the survey carried out by Durham, St. In one study, 72 percent of the 153 participants correctly identified the sexual attitudes of a group of men and women in their 20s after being shown photographs or facial images. Published in the journal "Evolution and Human Behaviour," the research also showed that women who were open to short-term sexual relationships were usually seen as more attractive. They tended to have wide eyes and large lips, such as the actress Angelina Jolie. Women were usually interested in men who appeared to be more likely to want a long-term relationship. The research tended to confirm earlier findings which found that women see masculine men as more likely to be unfaithful and worse at parenting. The men and women also tended to opt for complete opposites. Dr Lynda Boothroyd, from Durham University's Psychology Department, said: "This shows that these initial impressions may be part of how we assess potential mates -- or potential rivals -- when we first meet them. "These will then give way over time to more in-depth knowledge of that person as you get to know them better, and may change with age." Dr Ben Jones, from the University of Aberdeen's Face Research Lab, said: "Lots of previous studies have shown that people can judge a lot about a person from their face, including things like health and even some personality traits like introversion, but this really is the first study to show that people are also sensitive to subtle facial signals about the type of romantic relationships that others might enjoy." The image shows a pair of computerised 'averaged' facial photographs taken from real people's pictures. According to the research, the face on the right is of someone who is more likely to be interested in a short-term sexual relationship whilst the one on the left is more likely to be interested in a long-term relationship.

| chinesefacereading.blogspot.com Chinese Physiognomy - Face Reading Chinese Physiognomy commonly known as Face Reading is documented being used approximately 3,000 years ago. Over the years principles have been developed that form the basis of determining the quality of a face. One is that the human face is a system of life information. In other words the individual features of a face relate to each other. It is a mistake to just look at the nose or the eyes or the forehead. You can start with one part of the face and build on it with the next part of the face. Through systematic analysis a face reader can read the secrets of the person's fate. Next is the principle of yin and yang or two polar opposites. The Chinese divination uses left for the male and right for the female. This comes from the yijing statement that yin standing alone will not yield, just as yang standing alone will not grow. This rule (left for male and right for female) is used in face reading and Chinese palmistry. So in face reading a man's face is read from the left side first and a woman's face is read from the right side first. The five element theory includes the wuxing' or the interaction of the five types of qi in cycles, generating, weakening, or controlling. This system used in face readings is applied to facial features. Face readers don't stop at the shape of the face, however; they also look at the shape of the ears, the nose, eyes, and the corresponding proportions. The principle of harmony and balance is highly regarded as they can offset otherwise negative features. Man-animal resemblance is very interesting as it can tell you a person's degree of aggressiveness and luck. The principle of implicitness include the person's tone of voice, table manners, walk, hands, feet, and even sleep. Geographic location is considered to be influential on the person. The forehead represents the south, the chin for the north, the nose for the central area, the left for the east, and the right for the west. Also the five elements are represented in their respective locations. So people from the north will find that more importance is placed on their chin than it will be on people from the other regions, and so on. Well, there is much more to this story but not enough space to cover all of it. Posts (Atom) Face Reading Face Reading (physiognomy) provides handy insights into your hidden personality, past history, current situation and future development. Your face is like your autobiography that is open to everyone to read. Classic Chinese Face Reading originally derived from Daoist philosophy, and the oldest Chinese writing on this topic is commonly credited to Mr Guiguzi (Ghost Valley Scholar: 481-221 BC), whose work is still in print to this very day. The Chinese believe in lucky and unlucky faces and a great deal is made of the mountains and rivers of the face, which indicate wealth and fortune. Generally, the central axis of the face is deemed to be a crucial indicator of a person's lot in life, and when this appears to balance both sides of the face, the powerful trinity of luck is said to be properly aligned for prosperity. Moles on Men's & Women's Face Moles on your face are like stones in your house. When appearing in the living room (your forehead and cheeks), they mess the look of your household; when showing up in the corridors (your nose and mouth), they block the passage. But if they emerge in the undergrowth (your hair) or below a rock (you torso) in your backyard (a private place away from public view), they could form a little wonder of the landscape (your fortunes-cape). Moles on Ears Moles on Ears and what the indications for that person.

It is clear to me this reading is not a substitute for medical or psychiatric treatment. The forehead The forehead To be well endowed with faculty for logic, memory and intuition, one needs a well shaped forehead and good eyebrows. A well-shaped forehead is smooth, rounded, and also wide and deep, that is, wide across the forehead and from the hairline to the eyebrows. Mian Xiang defines good eyebrows as those which are fairly long, evenly arranged arched and tapering to a point. A hairline which begins well back is a further pointer to intelligence. A forehead that is narrow and shallow in depth reveals a disorganised mind and untidy thinking. The eyes The eyes You cannot hide behind your eyes, only behind sunglasses. For it is the eyes that tell the world if you are powerful or trustworthy. And shyness, according to Mian Xiang, is linked to selfishness. Blinking a lot is often a symptom of mental instability. Someone with regularly sleepy eyes is unlikely to be successful in personal relations, or in a career. And powerful eyes are able to assess other people and situations more accurately than those whose eyes are submissive or weak or watery. Light brown eyes are associated with ability to withdraw unscathed from unhappy and unsuccessful relationships. The whites of an eye impart valuable information to those who understand Mian Xiang. But eyes with three or four areas of white tell most, such as these people being prone to accidents. And the best nose for money is one that is wide at the top, moderately large and has a rounded tip supported by fleshy sides. The higher the arch of the nose, the more good fortune can be expected. Long nose are indicative of stubbornness and self-pride, even selfishness. A short nose is linked to decline of fortune around middle age. The mouth The mouth In Mian Xiang, the best mouth is large. It has a clear distinct shape with corners that slope up. Each lip should be a quarter of an inch wide, and where the lips meet, there should be straight, horizontal line. The straighter the horizontal line, the more a person can be expected to keep promises. Anyone with the best mouth can expect a reasonable standard of living. And cope better with adversity than someone with a small mouth. Only women with small mouths stay better satisfied with love-making than those with bigger mouths. A thick upper than lower lip is a sign of deviousness, while a thicker lower lip can mean difficulties in inspiring trust. Thick-lipped people are more likely to be sensual and emotional than whose lips are thin. The ears The ears For good fortune the ears should be entirely between two parallel lines drawn through the eyebrows and the tip of the nose. Ears should be flat, indicative of wellbeing and stable family relationships. Besides being flat, the best ears are also round -- denoting health and kindness. thick ears contribute to good fortune, while thin ones are associated with physical weakness and periods of indifferent health. Protruding ears indicate that their owners need to draw on inner reserves of strength and ability to get on in life. If there is a heavy growth of hair in the ear that is dis... |
| www.face-and-emotion.com/dataface/physiognomy/physiognomy.jsp skull - basis of physiognomy when, in the narrow sense, these features are used to infer the relatively enduring character or temperament of an individual. On this site, physiognomy connotes a broader meaning, ie, it refers to relatively unchanging facial features that might convey messages about any inner or hidden aspect of the person. Most of these facial features have as their basis the bony structure of the skull, on which the soft tissues lie. These features include the shapes and positions of major areas and landmarks of the face, such as the forehead, eyebrows, nose, cheeks, and mouth. The important facial features can be fairly accurately reconstructed by experts from the skull alone. diagram of the human cranium shows the major features of the skull, from which much of the visible appearances of the face can be extrapolated. Other physiognomic features are not directly linked to the bony skull, such as skin texture and coloration, hair placement and texture, and detailed shapes of fleshy features. All of these features change slowly and relatively little over time, and they are the sign vehicles for physiognomic messages. Proposing an association between these facial features and other aspects of the person, including personality, character, outcomes of medical treatment, romantic compatibility,or the destiny of the person, is a physiognomic approach. The validity of the association or inference based on physiognomy is a separate issue that can be established or discredited by empirical evidence. Accurately face reading these signs depends upon knowing which relations are valid and which are spurious. Types of Messages What might such physiognomic messages be about? Well, logically, as the signs of physiognomy change little or slowly, they can only be about characteristics that are relatively enduring and that change little or not at all. Such messages might include a person's genetic background (eg, race, ethnicity, and family membership), genetic diseases (eg, Down's syndrome), and more fuzzy concepts such as personality, character, and temperament. These facial features are unlikely to convey messages about characteristics that change rapidly or often, such as a transient emotions, because they cannot capture such rapid changes in their time scale of change. However, the possibility remains that repeated transient experiences, such as an often elicited emotion, might cumulate an effect on such slowly changing features. Also, observers often confuse some of these permanent signs with transient signs that actually do convey information about rapidly changing characteristics. Topics related to physiognomy have a very long history in human cultures. In China and other Asian cultures, formal Chinese use face reading systems of face reading techniques developed sometime in the first millennia bce, integrated with religious beliefs such as Confucianism. Substantial confidence in such methods developed in these cultures, and physiognomic inferences included descriptions of character, suitability for certain positions, and predictions about life and death. In Western cultures, the association of facial features with a person's characteristics also has a history, first noted in the writings of the ancient Greeks. Much later, several pseudo-scientific and cultish movements exploited the inference of character from physiognomic features. The physiognomy movement proper (which cultivated the narrow connotation for this term) was Phrenology, popularized by the 18th century Swiss philosopher Lavater. The face, despite recent advances in assessing identity such as biometrics and DNA testing, remains paramount in ordinary experience for identifying a individual person. George Washington's facial features identity, although styles in the production of more transient signals and other body shapes and sizes may also contribute to identity information. The signs of identity can be preserved in representations as schematic as the monochromatic drawing at the right, which Americans can easily identify as George Washington. Such permanent features of the face also convey information about the genetic background of the individual, including ancestry and ethnicity. Visage is a project that attempts to represent the features that are used to describe the face and the characteristics that are associated with such facial features. A relational database stores the feature names, the characteristics, and the relations among them. You can get an idea of what this database contains from the Visage applet. It shows illustrations of a limited set of facial features that you can use to describe a face, then retrieves some of the descriptions that have been associated with these features. |
