What can a physiognomist learn about a person from his face? Lesson three. frontal bone

On the face of a man, the brow ridges (Fig. 1) are always more noticeable than on the face of a woman, since this is associated with the overall level of testosterone. This facial feature indicates your need to lead, dominate and be in control. The more pronounced the superciliary arches, the stronger this desire.

If this facial feature immediately catches the eye, then we are dealing with a person (it doesn’t matter if it’s a man or a woman) who takes any order with hostility. Everyone who was familiar with such a person knows that he is inclined to perceive the slightest request as an order.

You can politely ask: Could you pass the salt?

But such a person will almost certainly hear: Do as you are told, and live!

All this can greatly complicate your relationship, so it is important not to forget about this quality of the Tree and the problems that it can give rise to.

• Rice. 1. Brow ridges - an indicator of your tendency to keep everything under control.

At the same time, although protruding brow ridges do not bode well for personal relationships, they also have a positive aspect. In particular, such a person can make an excellent leader.

The area between the eyes, in the center of the superciliary arches, in Chinese physiognomy is called the place of the seal and the father's blessing (Fig. 2). In old China, officials did not sign documents, but put seals, each his own. The higher a person was in the service hierarchy, the greater was his seal.

• Rice. 2. The place of the seal is located on the forehead between the eyes.

Since the brow ridges are a symbol of power on the face, their central part was used to determine how much a person is predisposed to power and success. The vast space in this part of the face corresponded to a large seal. Accordingly, the larger your place of printing, the more likely it is that power and might will not bypass you.

Now about the second name of this part of the face, father's blessing. It assumes that the person who holds the most weight for you confirms your unconditional worth as an independent person. As a rule, this role is played by the father (or the person who performs the functions of the head of the family). It is thanks to his love and support that you felt strong and talented as a child. If you have not received such recognition, then a sense of self-worth for you is most likely a sore point. This must certainly leave its mark in the place of the seal.

Ideally, this part of the face should be smooth, wide and slightly prominent, without wrinkles or other marks. This is a sign that the energy of the Tree is in harmony, respectively, you are not inclined to get annoyed and perceive everything as an attack on your own personality. However, in Western society, this element as a whole is in a state of disharmony, so many people have marks at the site of the seal. Most often, we are talking about two small vertical lines (Fig. 3). Such wrinkles usually indicate a tendency to anger and irritation (at least, intolerance and irascibility). Try to make an angry face, for sure at this moment your eyebrows will move to the bridge of your nose and two tiny lines will lie between them. If such an emotion is repeated often enough, then over time, clear wrinkles will form here.

However, these wrinkles are not always the result of negative emotions. Sometimes everything rests on such an aspect of the Tree as internal tension. It is not uncommon for someone who concentrates too intensely at work to frown, and this habit also creates similar lines. All people of this element have a tendency to form such marks, and it is from them that you can easily determine whether the Tree is part of the personality of a person.

• Rice. 3. Two vertical lines between the eyebrows indicate the emotions and tension inherent in the Tree.

It may very well be that these lines only temporarily appeared on your face, at a time when you experienced certain life difficulties or were too immersed in your work. As soon as this period is over, wrinkles will fade or disappear, provided that such emotions do not become a habit for you.

At almost every one of our seminars or classes, the question of plastic surgery comes up. The students ask us about Botox injections and other means of changing the face. It seems logical that a person, having removed two vertical wrinkles from his forehead, will be able to get rid of anger, irritability and excessive tension that has managed to accumulate in his system. But the fact is that these emotions are still in his body, so he will still try to express them in one way or another. And once the action of Botox wears off, the wrinkles will return. It is no secret that a long-term result is possible only with internal changes.

Any plastic surgery of wrinkles formed by the habit of a certain emotion makes it possible to work on the cause of these emotions. As a rule, this period takes from three to five years. If during this time you do not have time to change internally, wrinkles will definitely return. We recently spoke to a woman who had a full facelift a year and a half ago and was already starting to notice wrinkles again.

When cosmetic queen Estée Lauder died, a lengthy obituary appeared in the newspaper. Her words were quoted there that a woman is truly beautiful only once in her life, on the day of her marriage, when she does makeup with special care. These words shocked us. A woman on her wedding day is beautiful not because of makeup, but because she is in love! The purpose of our work is to help you discover this inner radiance in yourself and others. Anyone who radiates love looks beautiful in the eyes of others, even if he has wrinkles or a big nose. And for this it is not necessary to cut your face.

In a detailed analysis of the human face, three completely different areas can be distinguished from each other, correlated, in turn, with three different aspects of the personality: top part, or the department to which the forehead corresponds, middle part, or the department to which the eyes and nose belong, Bottom part, or department that includes the mouth and chin.

When "reading" each of these parts separately, as well as their entire complex as a whole, you can get a large amount of information about a particular person. Of course, the ideal would be a harmonious relationship between the three departments, in which none of the parts would dominate over the others. This would serve as an indication of the instinctive-emotional-intellectual balance of the personality, which, of course, is preferable everywhere and always. However, this ideal situation is rare. Usually one of the facial sections dominates the rest. In itself, this is also not a disadvantage; in fact, the development or dominance of any of these departments means that this particular psychological property is especially emphasized in the character of the individual, and if one of the sections is only slightly distinguished from the other two, then in the daily life of a person this fact may even appear as a positive one.

In general, the following is certain: the only thing that can have a really negative effect on the character and life of a person is the fact that one of these parts will turn out to be too small in comparison with the rest, since this is a sign that the personality aspect corresponding to it in this individual not naturally developed. In such cases, people who are interested in their own self-improvement must make some additional effort to compensate for this lack of their personality. For example, a person with a square face, the central part of which is overdeveloped, while the forehead is too narrow, should pay special attention to the thinking aspect in his life, since personality defects can manifest themselves mainly in this area.

Intellectual aspect: forehead

Broad forehead, occupying about a third of the face, is a sign of good memory, intelligence and ambition of the individual. In this case, we are talking about people with a clear life goal and great abilities for analytical thinking, as well as with a craving for acquiring new knowledge and skills. It is not surprising that people whose forehead corresponds to these characteristics will have the qualities of a leader, since they are not only endowed with the talent to correctly interpret the facts of the surrounding reality, but also know how to relate them both to the aspirations of others and to their own aspirations. Great analytical skills and a gift for grasping new things, the ability to manage one's own feelings and emotions - all this can manifest itself on the positive side in any professional field.

low forehead, occupying a small space relative to the rest of the face, as well as the growth of hair very close to the eyebrows - all these are considered signs of a person who is not inclined to theoretical reflection. It is said of such people that they can only be convinced by facts. Sometimes we can talk here about pragmatic people who prefer not to spread "thinking along the tree", but to go ahead to their goal. However, they are simultaneously able to radiate personal charm in communicating with other people, although sometimes too practical nature makes them manifest themselves as selfish and selfish.

Emotions and feelings

On that part of the face, which is located between the forehead and the mouth, the emotions and feelings of a person are reflected. If, on the whole, it is the zone of the body in which the expressive possibilities of a person are most clearly concentrated, then this particular facial region, correlated with emotions and feelings, has the greatest potential for broadcasting any type of messages. The combinations of mimic gestures that can be carried out with the help of eyebrows, eyes, nose, cheeks and cheekbones are of infinite variety and richness, as is the number of shades of emotions, feelings or states of mind that can be conveyed with their help. Life constantly models a person's personality, adding new ones to hereditary factors - those that are introduced with a person's experience, his achievements, failures, joys and sorrows, as well as with his conscious work on himself.

So, about a man who has reached adulthood, they say that he has the face that he deserves, or rather, the one that he was able to “sculpt” for himself. Laughter, joy, sadness, anxiety, loneliness, anxiety, pleasure - each of these states leaves its mark on the structure of the facial muscles, giving over the years a new shape to the face, his cheeks and cheekbones, until eventually these "hardened" features begin to dominate over hereditary.

Eyes and eyebrows

Eyes - this is the most expressive of the resources of non-verbal communication available to a person. Without uttering a single word, one look can express a lot - from "I love you" to "I need help."

The size of the eyes can already immediately give certain information about a person. In general, it is argued that among the owners big eyes most often there are passionate, disinterested, independent rebels, while people with small eyes rather prudent and prefer to weigh the circumstances well before deciding on any option.

Man with bulging eyes shows excessive interest in the outside world, while a person with deep-set eyes more inclined to show interest in the inner world of the interlocutor. Widely spaced eyes convey the detachment and coldness of their owner, and closely set suggest both his somewhat timidity and his tendency to fix attention on details.

Visual contact is one of the most subtle forms of communication that can be established between two people. It can be seen as a more effective means of expressing and exchanging feelings than verbal contact, since making visual contact with a person is almost the same as touching him with your hand. For example, when the eyes of a man and a woman meet, ecstatic excitement may arise to such an extent that its currents seem to run through the whole body. At the same time, the eyes are wide open, an invitation is read in them, and the look has a clear erotic connotation.

It is believed that if you look closely, you can see something in the eyes of a person. This is the main reason why some people try to avoid eye contact: for one reason or another, they do not look at the interlocutor, as they fear that their eyes may open some kind of veil and betray their secret to another person. People who are nervous, timid, or those who have something to hide tend to shy away from making such contact and try to get away from a direct look. However, many try to lower their eyes if the situation forces them to express something uncomfortable or unpleasant for the interlocutor.

No one focuses their eyes on another person all the time, the gaze usually flickers from object to object. In general, we can say that people are divided into two categories: watching and listening.

Studies conducted by experts have shown: if someone has gaze is often directed upwards, this means that a person is engaged in the visualization of a certain frame from the past, that is, as if reproducing it in his brain. This person is just one of those who are watching. On the contrary, people usually looking away, play something sound in memory, so they belong to the category of those who listen. A person's gaze fixed in the same direction for a significant amount of time, suggests that this person thinks in visual images and that he may have a rich imagination. Such people tend to focus on the packaging of the gift, the appearance of the interlocutor, the clothes in which he is dressed, the details of his appearance and other details. Without a doubt, and in everything that concerns himself, the visualizer shows exactly the same scrupulous attention to detail. If a person, on the contrary, has a habit stare at the interlocutor, then he concentrates on information perceived with the help of the ears rather than the eyes; this type of personality has an excellent memory for conversations, sounds or songs. It is likely that he will also have a good sense of rhythm and show more interest in what the interlocutor says than in how he looks.

Most people are convinced of the undoubted significance of the look, and knowing this, they may try to control the expression of their eyes. Therefore, in order to understand the true feelings or emotions of the interlocutor, it is necessary in a conversation with him to observe directly the pupils of his eyes.
Pupils dilate or constrict depending on the circumstances, and this happens completely involuntarily. Pupil reactions belong to the sphere of the autonomic nervous system, so a person is not able to consciously control his pupils.

In general terms, it can be argued that pupil increases in response to favorable stimuli and narrows in response to negative or not entirely pleasant information. Therefore, the pupils of lovers dilate when they look into each other's eyes. The same thing happens to every person if he receives visual stimuli that are favorable for him, such as, for example, contemplation of a beautiful sunset or the sight of appetizing food. It has been proven that when pupils dilate, there is an increase in the size of the peripheral visual field that surrounds an object that is directly in the focus of our gaze. This fact could be explained by the fact that the eyes want to see as much as possible of what looks especially pleasant or attractive to them. There is documented evidence of some women in past centuries using belladonna to dilate their pupils.

One of the ones that betrays a person with a head when, looking at something unpleasant, he brings his hand or one of his fingers to his eyes. In children, this gesture is extremely evident.

Brows in people with different oval faces give a certain originality of personality. Everything matters here - the density of the eyebrows, their length, location, line pattern. Every detail gives the face individuality. From these details, you can determine whether a person is friendly or more introspective. In any case, eyebrows are an important component of body language. With the help of eyebrows, you can convey the most significant gestures.

Eyebrows raised up, are a very common facial gesture. This is often done consciously, with a certain specific intention, and sometimes involuntarily. The difference between voluntary and involuntary gestures is quite obvious. For a casual observer, the unconsciousness of the gesture is much less obvious than its intentionality. In most cases, this gesture means surprise or disapproval. The more emotion is invested in this gesture, the more expressive the resulting facial expression is, and the more wrinkles eventually appear on the forehead.

Some people only have the ability to lift one eyebrow. This gesture has a rather strange effect on the observer and can be used to convey emotions such as interest, surprise or disapproval.

Very often a person expressively raises eyebrows for just a moment. This is a friendly signal that occurs spontaneously when eye contact is made with an acquaintance or with a person with whom one would very much like to get to know. Usually this gesture is accompanied by a smile and is some kind of greeting or invitation to communicate.

Eyebrows go down. In most cases, this gesture means almost the same thing as furrowing your eyebrows. It can also be conscious or instinctive, and the difference is only in the degree of emphasis of the gesture. Lowered eyebrows are mainly a sign of anger or disapproval, although in some cases they express a state of deep thought. If a person is angry or does not agree with something, then he, as a rule, lowers his eyebrows. This gesture is conscious and volitional, it is usually accompanied by a characteristic verbal expression, which clearly demonstrates the corresponding state of a person. However, if this is a sign of deep thought, then in most cases the person demonstrating this gesture does not realize this.

Still scratching your head trying to figure out what character your man has? Surely you have heard that the owners of thin lips are reserved and reserved natures, and a long nose is a sign of a virtuoso lover. Having mastered the skill of physiognomy, you can read it like an open book.

On this topic

Today, the editors of the site share secrets about what features in appearance say about personality type, emotions and thoughts.

Analyze in order: body type, head shape, proportions of the upper, middle and lower thirds of the face, forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth. Take a closer look at gestures, facial expressions, features of the look, gait and manner of communication. Start studying a person from top to bottom, advises psychologist and leading sex trainer in Moscow Ekaterina Fedorova.

face shape

A round face is characteristic of men with a good heart. Their obvious advantages are non-conflict, ambition and good adaptability.

A square face is a sign of a stubborn, straightforward, persistent, quick-tempered and determined man. Many of them strive for dominance and like to be leaders, thanks to which they often succeed in business. Of the minuses: they confuse frankness with tactlessness.

An oblong face speaks of hypersensitivity: the longer, the more sensitive in relation to oneself. Their ranks include intellectuals from whom one should not expect heroism and courageous deeds.

The triangular shape (high forehead and small chin) gives out cunning, quarrelsome, unfaithful, but talented people with excellent intuition.

Trapezoidal face - deeply intelligent, friendly and artistic people who are not used to fighting and proving their case.

A convex forehead is a sign of authority and intelligence, a high forehead is a sign of active mental activity and high morality.

People with a straight square forehead strive for justice, strictly observe ethical standards and judge actions based on an understanding of morality and ethics.

The shape of the lying rectangle is the forehead of practitioners and workaholics. They do not learn theory well and like to act more than plan.

An uneven hairline on the forehead is often found in individuals full of doubt and indecision.

Go down below - to the eyebrows. Eyebrows are an indicator of health, vitality and relationships with others.

Pronounced brow ridges are characteristic of men who are focused on personal problems and tend to impose their opinions on others.

Massive, shaggy eyebrows, on the one hand, speak of enterprise and masculinity, on the other hand, of a tendency to dominance and cruelty.

Eyebrows, located high from the eyes, physiognomy considers a sign of openness, sociability and generosity.

Eyebrows, which are noticeably longer than the eyes, are a symbol of flexible intelligence, the ability to quickly assimilate information. Such individuals are resourceful and versatile.

Thin and sparse eyebrows indicate an aggressive, assertive manner of communication.

Eyebrows with a house are a feature of eccentric and inventive men who do not take into account other people's opinions and love to reinvent the wheel.

Thick eyebrows can be identified with an active lifestyle and an open disposition. And don't let the unibrow scare you: fused eyebrows are a sign of a strong character!

Eyes - the level of vitality and openness to communication. Does your man often hide his gaze and avoid eye contact? He subconsciously closes himself from the interlocutor.

Big eyes speak of the breadth of the soul, artistry, courage and the desire for leadership. And vice versa: the smaller the eyes, the more stubbornness, cunning and conflict.

Widely spaced eyes are characteristic of the passive, slow and indecisive. Such men hesitate for a long time and wait for the situation to resolve itself, so you should not expect a marriage proposal from them a month (or even a year) after they met.

Men with close-set eyes are very demanding. For them, order is everything. With such a life partner, everything should be sorted out - in the house, at work and in the head. By deep-set eyes, one can distinguish envious, suspicious, incredulous and cunning people.

Eyes with lowered corners speak of restraint and attentiveness. It is difficult for such people to realize themselves in creative professions, it is easier for them to work associated with over-concentration, exact numbers and complex calculations.

Notice wrinkles near the inner corners of your eyes? Physiognomy associates this sign with insight - next to you is a subtle psychologist who thinks a lot and analyzes relationships.

Massive lines are a sign of a strong character, activity, energy and will. The upper part is correlated with spontaneity, the lower - with reasonableness.

A strongly pronounced top betrays those who are subject to mood. For example, men with an aquiline nose sometimes cannot contain impulses of frantic energy and bully everyone who gets in their way.

Their antipodes are gentlemen with a neat nose: they are calm and insightful.

A large, fleshy nose is found in highly active, purposeful people with great willpower.

A small nose is a symbol of weak energy and low adaptability.

A long nose is a pronounced individuality, great creative possibilities, often conservatism, arrogance and pride.

Owners of a cute upturned nose are naive, careless, inquisitive, but sometimes too presumptuous.

Men with narrow lips are quick to make and implement decisions. Their forte is purposefulness.

Thick, plump lips are a sign of a methodical mind and goodwill. Such people do not make decisions without first feeling the situation.

A thin line of lips is characteristic of scrupulous men who are now and then attached to trifles. Smooth, symmetrical lips speak of prudence, prudence, self-control.

Downturned corners of the mouth can be a sign of painful pessimism, sensitivity and psycho-emotional instability.

By the way, not only with the help of physiognomy you can crack the character, true emotions and feelings of people. For example, remember the series Lie to Me, where Dr. Lightman claims that the average person lies three times in ten minutes of conversation. And to prove it, he only needs a couple of minutes to communicate with a person. Any movement, gesture, any careless word can betray a liar. You just need to be able to see it.

According to Western scientists, this feature of the structure of the skull in representatives of the strong half of humanity indicates certain character traits and other features of the behavior of men.

Our ancestors had it as a symbol of aggression

A study by a group of scientists from New York University who worked with the skull of the most ancient man, who was a descendant of Pithecanthropus, led to the conclusion that the shape of the skull of our ancestors, changing over thousands of years in the process of evolution, contributed to the improvement of communication skills between hominids.
According to the lead author of this study, professor of anatomy Paul O'Higgins, the typical signs of male masculinity - a square jaw with prominent superciliary arches, which have become stereotypes - are precisely the heritage of ancestors. According to scientists, the initial role of such a structure of the skull in terms of external perception was to demonstrate aggressiveness, leadership among their own kind.
Paul O'Higgins draws a comparison to the skull structure of mandrills, in which dominant males have brightly colored bumps on their heads, and their appearance is directly associated with increased testosterone levels in these individuals compared to other representatives of the male part of this marmoset genus. Thus, this "atavism", inherited by modern men from their distant ancestors, is designed to emphasize the leadership inclinations and masculinity of the representatives of the strong half of humanity.

Testosterone bulging

According to the well-known American anthropologist and researcher of human behavior, the author of a number of methods used in the Western business community, Helen Fisher, some facial features of men are simply “built” by testosterone. Fisher pays special attention to the superciliary arches, according to which, according to the anthropologist, one can easily “read” how manly this or that man is.
According to Helen Fisher, a man with pronounced brow ridges and a heavy jaw is a fighter in life, a strong and domineering nature, accustomed to subjugating others.
“The ability to assess physical strength by the structural features of the skull is a person’s habit of focusing attention primarily on the face,” Fisher confirms. – Even if women see the figure of a man as a whole, they first of all pay attention to his face, which is extremely rich in social information. In this case, the assessment of physical strength is a huge advantage, since an angry and strong person is a much greater threat than an evil but weak one.
Fischer adds that in relation to women, this mechanism helps to intuitively identify male defenders: personalities with prominent brow ridges appear to them as more experienced in confronting their own kind with force.

Why do they seem more combative

Helen Fisher explains the phenomenon of “chosenness” of men with strongly pronounced brow ridges by the fact that in the human brain there is a mechanism that allows people (especially women) to determine the degree of masculinity of surrounding men with incredible accuracy - precisely by analyzing the top of their skulls. Moreover, this assessment can be made even when everything except the man's face is hidden from view.
“The thing is that the woman’s brain intuitively registers these impulses, and the ability to analyze and critically perceive such information, apparently, was inherited from our distant ancestors,” the anthropologist believes. - Then the protruding superciliary arches of the progenitors of modern man served as a sign of strength, aggression.
Fisher confirms that men with a similar structure of the superciliary ridges have a high level of testosterone in the body, which in turn indicates a strong human immune system. Research by Western scientists suggests that such men, for example, rarely catch colds and have better immune responses to vaccines.
