Short, sweet and to-the-point.

"Some Faces Just Get Away With Stuff"



"A trustworthy face, as psychologists have determined over years of research in this area, has two major characteristics: The eyebrows are slightly lifted, so that together, they form a kind of upside-down V shape; likewise, the corners of the mouth are also lifted slightly. An untrustworthy face, on the other hand, is the opposite: The eyebrows point slightly downward, forming a V shape, and the corners of the mouth are turned down a bit, too."

So, do you have a "trustworthy face?"

And are you, actually, trustworthy?

"and groomed"

I agree, and forgot to mention that one, lol. Being attractive only goes so far, being clean, and smelling good, are on a level of their own.

Its about so much more then the face, smile well and look happy and inviting. Oh and groomed, otherwise I would say the face does not play that big of a deal.

So, do you have a trustworthy face?

I do. I've also trained my face muscles so that my smile "reaches my eyes" making it look more sincere. Being aesthetically pleasing to people has also been helpful.


And are you, actually trustworthy?

Nope. I manipulate, and sabotage, but I have never been caught. : )

I mean one can go on and on about, body language, clothes, the way you speak etc and how they influence how someone can trust you.

The point I was trying to make is that, I don't think after a certain point that ones face does not play that big of a role.

it still makes sense to understand it. what if it was a police photo, the way the person holds their self would tip you off if you pay attention to body language.

actually more than 70% of interactions rely on body language. it sets the tone for the conversation. it also help you identify threats so you can react. it's important to understand posturing and what each signal mean because it could save you.

You all make good points, but what if we are talking about looking at pictures, alone, and not watching the subject live, or in any video?
