A guide to your face

Does that title sound ridiculous? It is supposed to. But not entirely ridiculous is the science behind such a statement.

Do you know that the Marital Research Institute of Seattle, Washington discovered that people who lived with disgust and discontent in their lives, as an emotion, or expressed in facial expressions were often identified as precursors to 1. Divorce (and soon) and 2. to contract or be afflicted by an infectious disease within the first 40 years of their life. This was even in a British documentary. In short, it is actually quite bad for your health. Why isn't this breaking news?

How about this, people who wrinkle their upper forehead while giving you an explanation are likely lying by displaying an example of distress. Guess what? You actually already knew that, subconsciously, and perhaps, were even pushed by the right side of your brain for an initial reaction to suspect a lack of truth, but your logical mind, might have weighed in your own wrongs, or your desire for the outcome, and overruled your artistic and naturally intuitive side.

Matter of fact, we do this all the time, quickly, and irrationally, based solely upon the first 17 years of unedited script. I mean to say, exactly that, we follow what we learned from the part of our lives that we now consider ourselves at that time to be absolutely ridiculous in terms of how we assessed ourselves and the world around us. Do you really want to go back to 17? I certainly don't need to drag up those rumors again, or those clothes.

How can we all fix this? It has been determined that people who smile in pictures actually live a happy life. A full smile. Use that for finding your new match date. When psychologists studied people who smiled in their yearbook photos, and then checked in with them 20 years later, the ones who had the full, eye squinting smiles were still happy. Those with fake smiles in their pictures, lived very unfulfilled lives, that they were not that happy about. So, start smiling more.
