》I feel that person has a nice personality.
》Nonsense.
I don't know how I did those arrows. Anyway...
I dunno. There are clearly some elements of one's appearance that are correctly associated with some element of the inner person. When somebody looks sleazy, it's not like they were born into sleaze and their physical self morphed into it, exactly.
But I think the way we present ourselves - think a confident person's eyes compared to a shy one - humans are very adept and pinpointing these very subtle features, consciously or not. That's why we have whites in our eyes and eyebrows. Chimps don't have those.
We can extrapolate by the direction of our eyes, the almost imperceptible furrow of a brow, and determine a thousand different possible meanings from that, when combined with the rest of our body language.
If somebody looks like they have a nice personality, they probably very subtly express certain muscle movements that are pleasant and in-line with what you consider decent.
Of course, there's always those who dress like a drug-addled gangsta boi, and is actually a very conservative, straight-edge academic, but they're usually just trying to make a point of that deception. Like eccentric billionaires who only live in a small house.
Dunno, I just think we underestimate that power of stereotype within us, while simultaneously abusing is quite thoughtlessly
I have never seen those arrows before and would really like to know how you made them.
I wonder if they look sleazy from birth though, if people will treat them as such and then they start to present the behavior expected of them?
I get the sense that younger generations are losing this ability to some degree for face to face interaction, as they are spending time on screens, where a lot of the subtle physical signals are amplified or hidden completely. The other thing is that through consumption of engineered content, a lot of the sounds are also warped in some way. This could lead to a mis-calibration of the tools needed for "live" interaction - does this affect physical relationships? Does it influence the partners we choose if we can't "read the signs" well?
Continuing from above, does screen focus mean we aren't as adept and reading and evaluating the clusters of signals?
I am someone who has been treated a lot based on my looks, for the negative. I wonder if I was someone else, if the way I was treated would have led me down a different path.
Stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason, but - is the stereotype we carry because it is true for that group, or because we have been conditioned to believe it is true?
There's also the study of mask wearing for kids are making them less able to socialise or be sociable due to the critical years where they would develop these skills are no longer there because they're spending every day in school where everybody's faces are 70% covered. Add to that what you say about online... the internet is just way too young for us to really know what generational impact it's truly having on us.
And since that is generational, it's gonna be too slow a change, no matter how significant, for any individual to notice. Kinda scary.
Ok, 》 was done by trying to do > but I accidentally switched to Chinese. So it's the same button but in that language！【《0_0》】
It is this slow change across entire generations that is going to be interesting and potentially devastating. For several hundred thousands years we have evolved in a certain way to hold and leverage certain skills and in 30 years, we have shifted away from a lot of these.
