Do you think people's personality often times matches their looks?
You ever meet someone and after talking to them and getting to know them you think, “yeah, I sort of figured they would have this personality because they look like they would”?
I think people’s looks and personality correspond in a few different ways.
One is that people’s choices for style and personal care reflect their personality, so having fancy clothes indicate a person who cares enough about looks to put in the effort.
People also can choose to associate themselves visually with different groups, and if they identify with that group they likely have similar values, including those around personality.
Even things someone can’t control, such as height, probably affect their personality because it changes the way others interact with them in society.
Not really. When I was younger I used to assume people's faces got smile lines and frown lines based on use of facial expressions over their lifetime.
Now I'm older I'm seeing that actually most of it's a sudden crumpling caused by loss of collagen in the skin and most of it's caused by how you sleep.
Quite sad people are getting "laugh lines" from sleeping with their cheek against their hand, and I'm getting an insane amount of sad resting face.
I’ve been told I look like I am on my way to murder someone but I haven’t killed anyone. In fact it’s been 150+ years since my family gave up murdering and we’ve never looked back.
edit: although for a lot of that time, that side of the family were in the army where killing is legal sanctioned as long as you don’t get anyone on your own side.
I look at people and try to guess their political lean. I feel pretty shallow basing it on color and size of hair, but I kind of think there’s something there.
Not only aesthetic choices, but behaviorally-affected physical traits too: posture, resting facial expression facial creases and muscle tone(e.g. laugh/frown lines), body language and mannerisms, etc. Sure it’s not exactly a science, but certain broad traits are fairly outwardly apparent.
