Encounters with Faces

Face, the most important element in a human's appearance. Its so intriguing, how a face plays with your mind and sets opnions. Your first impression of a person is strongly based on the face of the person. The face personifies the image of a person. Its so strange, that we can trust a person more if we have seen his/her face. Until we see someone, we always have a small doubt in the corner of our mind.

Doesnt matter that the face should only be beautiful. Faces can be not beautiful but still charming and luring. Some faces are more touching, some you can trust instantly. Some faces, you loathe at the first glance itself, and have a tough time dealing with that person. But one thing, again a strange fact, you tend to soften for a face, once you start seeing the face quiet often. You can actually start liking a face, even if you wanted to turn the other side on the first time.

Faces are mysterious. Some faces are expressive, telling you the unsaid too. Some faces are stoic, completely indifferent from what actually is. The worst is, some faces are deceitful; acting as a mask on the reality. I have become wary of faces, dont know they project the reality or are fraud. But still, faces play a very important role in my description of a human being (not just looks). I wonder, will I be able to get the niche of finding out whats behind a face. I think I almost have it. But somethings are so unpredictable that all your statistics go haywire; and faces fall into this category.

Faces will always perplex me, sometimes making me comfortable, sometimes making me despise, and sometimes leave me with lots of questions unanswered. But still it plays a major role in charaterization of people carrying these faces. So happy face reading everyone!

Here is an interesting article I found, once I started writing this.
Facial Prejudice: Face and Personality.

Faces play imp. role in first impression.. no doubt. But, wht takes a relationship forward is the thought process behind the face, the person inside.

Face is an index of the Mind!...

Thats the most mis-interpreted statments in the world for me...for, what it actually means(to my understanding) is that the expressions of the face actually tel u whats going on in a persons mind...and not the face in itslef which determines the person

We generally go by looks when we meet someone new and decide if the person is bad/good, but then after a few acquaintances we find out the truth... My thinking goes this way- looks can never be an aspect in judging a person....

"Face" defintely is the big screen of your movie "Personality". you show lot of yourself through your face. sometimes you could even feign that.
Eyes are the actors who lead the show.They could be used so subtle way,sometimes even camouflaging the words.
i agree with you kosha.face is the first most thing that helps you make an impression on its owner.There are no words exchanged here in this case. As long as words dont come into picture, face really steals the show.
