Whether or not you believe that men are from Mars and women are from Venus, the fact is that we are intrinsically different. It’s not just our genes or hormones that set us apart, we simply begin life communicating differently.
Women’s brains are hard-wired to read faces. Baby girls have a need for mutual eye gazing to develop the mother-infant bond. Female interest in emotional expression lasts into adulthood, whilst males don’t indulge in eye gazing as much. Boys experience testosterone surges in utero that slow communication development.
Rest assured that you don’t need amazing intuitive skills to be able to read a face. A few tips and careful observation may provide incredible insight, though there will be exceptions to every rule.
Face reading is the idea that facial features can provide clues about personality. Accurate face reading will help you decide whether to approach that intriguing stranger across the bar and gauge whether the person may have key personality traits.
Men with dark eyes are typically deep and thoughtful, whilst those with ice-blue eyes usually have high sex drives. Wide nostrils usually indicate generosity, while men with narrow nostrils are great with money. Likewise, full lips suggest openness and honesty. These men are great at conversation and kissing, whilst thin-lipped men are typically business-oriented. Finally men with strong dips between their noses and lips are very likely to be great lovers.
On the other hand, women with large earlobes are likely to be grounded, whilst small earlobes suggest that the person’s interests are more intellectual than physical. Women with long, downward pointing noses have an appetite for sexual adventure and unusual lovemaking, while those with small mouths are said to be undemanding and passive in bed. Those with thick lower lips often choose unfaithful partners and are then tempted to be unfaithful themselves.
Always remember to keep the above in perspective – use it as a general guide, not a dating manual. At the end of the day, a person with a friendly face and a smile in the eyes is always the best place to start. Faces can change with age, but eyes never lose their sparkle.

I found your article interesting. I often tell my students that you can know your compatibility level with a person in less time than it takes to drink a cup of coffee. Based on the insights that you shared I assume you were using Chinese Face Reading. I have been trained in Western Face Reading which has it’s validation from Judge Jones, Robert Whiteside and William Burtis together took on the task of using established scientific principles to study 1050 random adults from 1950-1955. Measurements of facial features were recorded and correlated with personality factors. Their analysis statistically validated facial features and behavioral traits to an impressive result of 92% accuracy per trait. Trust your readers will explore what can be learned through Face Reading.

To be honest its a mix of intuitive observation info on face reading from books over the years (Rose Rosetree mostly). I find that the face gives away so much information but we still think conversation tells us about a person. So much more to communication than that. I liked your website.
