Face reading

I found this quite fascinating. I've never heard of face reading before and I sat there with a little mirror looking at my own face and trying to work out if I fit the personality traits associated with my features.

I decided that the following fit my features (some of them fit my personality as well, I've italicised those):

- A person with a developed backhead is more emotional, family and socially orientated.
- Thick wiry hair is an indication of your physical prowess and your resilience in life. You have great recuperative powers and may like a challenge in life.
- A wide forehead expresses your cleverness and practicality - being someone capable of executing duty diligently. This gives you high idealism and a wealth of ideas.
- Flat forehead gives you a more pragmatic nature, given to factual expression.
- If the eyes slant upwards the person is an opportunist - more so if the brows also slant in that direction (cats eyes look). Many models like Elle McPherson and Claudia Schiffer possess these eyes. They know how to get what they want.
- The closer set the eyes (Ed note: mine are just a tiny bit narrower than one eye width apart) the narrower the opinion and view of the world at large. It may also reflect an overdependence on parental and family structures. These people may need a nudge to develop their own independent lifestyles. Their willpower should be strengthened in the search for their own self assurance. Employees and workers displaying eyes of this type certainly need continual encouragement to grow in self confidence. You will find these types possess little forbearance or tolerance and may crack under stress. Trivial matters can be blown out of all proportion.
- Deep green eyes are not only highly energised like their blue eyed cousins but very inventive too - both in practical and personal affairs. You will need a lot of time to understand the spontaneous and sometimes wilful mind of a green eyed person. Men and women of genius often possess this coloured eye. You'll need to sharpen your intellectual skills with green eyed people.
- The highly arched or ideal brow often seen in the faces of film stars is described as a dramatic brow.
- The Ideal nose has a high, straight, full and fleshy tip with gently flared but protected nostrils. The fleshy tip indicates cordiality and warmth of personality. Deep empathy with others. Set high standards for themselves and are good mannered (Lailin).
- High bridge & pointed nose: High degree of energy and very curious mind. (Ed note: I can't decide if my nose is fleshy tip or pointed - it's kind of both. It's definitely short)
- Short nose: Happy, natural.
- The groove on the upper lip, below the nose is worth mentioning. It is called the philtrum. If it is clearly marked, deep and long, it augurs well for a strong and healthy energy levels and vitality.
- Lips which are full, round and even convey to you that the person is caring and sensitive. The upper and lower lips in equal distribution reveal a well meaning and communicative personality.
- upward curved lips which indicate the opposite - someone cordial and optimistic with a sunny disposition.
- Curved lips: Changeable.
- The chin should be rounded or square in shape with a gentle fullness. If this is the case, the latter part of life, during the 60's and 70's will be satisfying and lucky.
- Ears with no lobes: Unresponsive and lacks purpose.
- The stronger the cheeks, the more authoritative you are. Those in positions of control, executive power and leadership will often be seen to possess very strong, prominent cheeks. In romance and marriage, the partner with the more powerful cheeks is said to control the other.

And this one on face shapes was also interesting. I'm a round, which is emotional.

Some of the traits which are very me are:

- Your body type means that you are predominantly emotional, sensitive and caring.
- This makes you extremely considerate and compassionate. You like to extend this facet of your nature into every area of activity, including your work. Which is not to say you are a blob of maudlin sentimentality. You do however, seem to have a natural tendency to interact with others from an emotional base, making you "mother" to your peers.
- perform very well in professional arenas where a social and playful environment accommodates your naturally easy going style.
- emotions are perhaps not dealt with or "digested" correctly in your experience. This "indigestion" has its counterpart in the alimentary tract of your body. It's no coincidence that the medical fraternity refer to your type as an alimentive class of being.
- The Chinese face readers agree that you are a liquid and adaptable, sensitive and pliable individual. With other positive features this is a good basis for success in midlife.
- Strong sexual fantasies also feature strongly for you. Coupled with your natural charm and demonstrative affection, you can provide very loving and satisfactory romantic alliances which last. Men of your nature prefer to stay in committed partnerships and function at their best when love and home are stable.

I agree with the last sentence even though I'm obviously not male.
