5 Physical Details That Reveal Highly Personal Information
As we mentioned here, with just a pair of eyeballs, a ruler and a negligent sense of propriety or fear, you can learn a whole mess of intimate details about any person at any given time. But why stop there? Here are five more shockingly personal things you can guess about anyone just by looking at them.
None of these are 100 percent, and you should not use any of them to make unfair assumptions about people. It is only in the name of entertainment that we point out that researchers have found ...
#5. You Can Tell How Honest Someone Is by Their Cheekbones (Sometimes)
Let's say you've never seen Star Wars. If you saw a picture of this guy, without knowing any of the context, would you say he's a good guy, or a bad guy?
Clearly he has villain written all over his face. But why?
Likewise, in real life sometimes you meet people that you immediately distrust -- something about their faces just makes them look like shady characters. Maybe it's the way he's standing in a dark alley, bedecked in a trench coat with the collar pulled up while pointing a gun at your skull. Or it could just be something about his face you don't like.
It turns out scientists have figured out what that "something" is.

The cheekbones. While male models with chiseled faces might be effective in selling you underwear, in real life guys with wide cheekbones strike people as untrustworthy. And apparently there's a reason: Research shows that on average they're actually less honest. According to experiments, anyway.
Scientists at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland did a study and found that men with wider cheekbones not only cheated more at the game they were assigned to play, but also that when they screwed their fellow players over, those players were more likely to expect it. All they needed was a look at their faces.

"I'm almost certain a pair of twos and a seven doesn't beat a straight flush."
The researchers think it may be because wider cheekbones don't form until puberty and are an indication of how big a man is going to get. Larger men tend to be more aggressive and are less likely to feel like they have to obey society's rules -- it's easier to screw somebody over when you know you can kick his ass if he complains. Even in jobs where aggressiveness is rewarded, like professional sports, researchers found that, "broad-faced ... players spend more time in the penalty box."
Those researchers did not point out that Darth Vader was designed to have exaggerated cheekbones, but seriously, check it out:

And is it any wonder Christopher Lee made his career playing villains?
His next role? Governor of Texas.
Please keep in mind, the statistical difference is slight, and this is useful only for understanding why we feel weird about people with that face shape. Please don't immediately stab the next dude you see with wide cheekbones, or assume he's always lying. That probably makes you the bad guy.

#4. Want to Know How Much Sex a Guy Is Having? Look at His Baby Pictures
If '80s teen sex romp comedies have taught us anything, it's that losing your virginity is just about as important as whether or not you're alive at all. Statistically speaking, there's actually a pretty solid way to know if a guy is going to be a junior man slut or the 40-year-old virgin.
How? Tell Me!
By finding out how fat he was as a baby.

"In 10 years, I'll be ankle deep in bitches."
Scientists at Northwestern University in Illinois studied 770 men from birth until they were 22 years old. From that, they found that infants who gained weight the fastest had sex earlier, got laid more often and reported higher numbers of sex partners. Also, they were more athletic later in life.

20,000 women ... most dominant basketball player of all time ... huge fatass.
The reason, according to the researchers, might have to do with something called the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, a triumvirate of glands that control a buttload of stuff, including sex hormone production. The same surge in weight gain that makes fatter babies between birth and 6 months of age also predicted a similar surge in sexual hormones years later, one that hits before their skinny baby buddies get theirs.

"Best back up because I'm about to drop a fuck on someone."
By hitting sexual maturity earlier, they get a big fat head start on the sex game, and if the numbers are any indication of anything, they're taking advantage of that early bird special.
#3. If He Has a Bigger Penis, He Is More Likely to Be Gay
We have previously mentioned that finger length ratio and the direction of a person's hair swirl were good indicators of whether someone was more likely to be gay. The problem with those measurements is that they're pretty hard to get without posing as a manicurist-slash-barber. Plus, if you're getting that intimate with another man's fingers and scalp, you're probably already pretty certain of which way the pendulum swings.

"Titties might not be my thing."
The good news is that we've got another measurement that's a little easier to spot from distance, and is, statistically speaking, a decent indication of sexuality. The bad news is that, well, you'll see.
How? Tell Me!
It's dick size. Gay men usually have bigger dicks. So, this is probably one you'll have to try in the locker room.

"You know, it never occurred to me until I was staring at your bare penis, but ..."
This was a massive study, by the way. Between 1938 and 1963, the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction conducted the study on 5,122 men. First, the guys were put into two groups, straight and gay. Then the men measured their junk in five different ways. On all five counts, gay men reported larger penises than heterosexual men.
That's right, guys. Length, circumference, the whole sha-wang. When erect, a gay man's penis is an average of 1/3 of an inch longer than a straight guy's. It's also chubbier. Perhaps even more interestingly, massive gay junk seems to be skewing the overall average penis length up to 6 inches, while the average straight man's is actually just a fraction shorter than that.

And let's not even get on the subject of balls.
The only thing is, no one was actually taking a tape measure to the test subjects' boners (they were measuring themselves), so we don't know if the numbers were 100 percent accurate. But current researchers say that there is no reason to believe gay guys would exaggerate their numbers more than straight guys. So while the numbers might be inflated overall, the discrepancy is almost certainly still legitimate.
My husband has a shortish penis (compared to a normal, single digit amount of other penises) about 5" hard, and he has physically fathered 7 kids. So, I don't think that shortness is necessarily a factor in potency.
ReplySeriously, #3 is so ludicrous. The subjects themselves gave the numbers, it ain't worth squat. s**t article.
ReplyDude. Congratulations on your big penis. It doesn't MAKE you gay.
I doubt that gay men have bigger penises, though that could be the hopes and dreams of a heterosexual girl trumping reason. Also, from what I've heard of Kinsey, he isn't holding up well scientifically.
ReplyWhat if more gay guys have low self-esteem?
Replythank you. now if i ever get a boyfreind i will know whether or not to marry him.
ReplyI was a fatass baby and look at me now: meek, lazy, and asexual.
ReplyHey, you too? Maybe we're on to something.
"And when we notice that there aren't as many elite black swimmers, it's because that lower center of gravity gives whites longer torsos, which means they can generate a larger wave, which makes them faster in the water."
Reply Hide All See All 3 RepliesI'm pretty sure the far more prominent reason for this is that there are fewer black people in the US who learned to swim, because there aren't as many pools or instructors in impoverished areas (just look at statistics, as well as how many black people sadly drown due to this). Then the stereotype forms, and then a self-fulfilling prophecy about which sports are for which races that doesn't exactly encourage black folks to try to excel at swimming, along with the fact most of their peer group isn't into it.
So instead of using deductions from a wide-ly accepted theory about center of gravity, you just assume that all black people are poor and can't affford to learn how to wade in white man's water. Makes sense.
Stereotyping: There's a reason it exists.
"I'm pretty sure the far more prominent reason for this is that there are fewer black people in the US who learned to swim, because there aren't as many pools or instructors in impoverished areas"
i am literally laughing hysterically
I've often found it weird how some of my fellow men want to brag about their non-size. I know a guy who got caught out not so long ago. For ages, he had me thinking he had a good respectable 8", but in reality it was described as 'not very big'; I'm suspecting about 5", but hey, he could be a fellow 'slightly above average for straight' guy. The funny thing is, the guy is a little tall, loud and loves to dominate the room he is in. Hmm; compensating maybe? Gotta admit, it is a little sad. My point is, "Don't lie about your size, cos if you get some, you'll just disappoint the girl!"
Reply Hide All See All 3 RepliesI've been totally honest about my size my whole life and I've had at least 30 sexual partners (7 within relationship territory). Being honest about my size hasn't seemed to put off anyone, and it takes the pressure off a hell of a lot. My eventual baldness is a much bigger obstacle, believe me, lol.
Who do you talk about this with? How do you slip penis size into a conversation with anyone and have it not turn them off? How does this even come up? Is this how you hit on women? Something like, "Hey, I'm only 5 1/2 inches but at least I'm honest. Let me buy you a drink".
" the sex will be as mediocre as this pick up line."
"Hey babe, wanna ride my average?"
Hmmm, maybe it has something to do with anal sex; the tightness might help to enlarge the penis; like those penis enlargement pumps. I've got no idea really, its just a theory
ReplyHere I was thinking all these years that I was just plain old average (6"), when I'm "a little above average" for a straight guy. I think I'm gonna sleep just that little bit better tonight, lol.
Does this means I'm gonna have to start humping women?
ReplyAhhh...#5 explains why children in pre60s advertising are so f*****g creepy; those f*****g cherry red dimples. It doesn't work with fat bastards though; they have no visible cheekbones.
Replybtw, the guy in #2 doesn;t have a beer belly; that's Ascitis, liver failure.
Could that perhaps also be caused by too much beer? Maybe it is a sort of "beer" belly after all.
this all sound like bullshit. you say the guy with the biggest dicks are gay, but the guy with the small dicks are impudent... so is it only us average joes that are keeping the human race alive..?
Reply Hide All See All 5 Repliesas for black swimmers, heres a nugget you seemed to overlook... black skin has a different texture to it in that it is designed by nature/evolution to ABSORB moisture making it a bit more difficult for them to swim with speed.
Wide cheekbones are a comon feature of certain peoples and is very comon in scandanavia for example. Ar eyou trying to suggest that scandanavians are as a rule more dishonest..?
meanwhile feel free to entertain with your pseudo science but remember that some people are stupid enough to believe all the nonsense here.
Haha..."impudent". Yes, people with small dicks are often impudent.
Speaking as a girl who has fucked a lot of closeted gay men for such a young age (they're so pretty...so confused...) I'm going to throw in my back-up to the claim that they really do have bigger dicks. One theory is that big dicks stimulate prostate glands easier, while big dicks are not really necessary for c**t stimulation, after all...
Still seems unfair.
P.S. LOL, bobmacbob, that's interesting that you call this article pseudoscience, yet pass around a bizarre, un-sited claim about the texture of black people's skin as though it were fact (You've actually made two claims: one concerning their skin texture, one concerning the effect this has on swimming. Neither are approached in any way you should rightfully call "scientific".)
I feel that only trashy whores say c**t stimulation
To be fair, there are at least two interpretations for c**t... One is much less trashy than the other.
Panic, I'd like your comment, but your sidenote about gay men scares me-not because I'm gay, but because it's so...predatory.
kinda intrigued by the one about belly button placement, i have a high-placed belly button (quite a few people have actually commented on it, which i thought was odd), i also am naturally gifted at running....i was in the top 5 in my state by my sophomore year of highschool. i just caught on like it was nothing...now i know its all due to the belly button! haha
ReplyI'm wondering. Belly button placement in juxtaposition with what part of the body?
The entire body itself. It's hieght above ground basically.
the pic of the beer belly= *dead*
ReplyLooks like I'm definitely straight. Straight and a bit sad.
ReplySounds like somebody needs a hug.
I didn't think that guy was evil based on his cheekbones. I thought it was the sallowness of his face and the cold-eyed stare that gave it away.
ReplyYes, the sallowness of the face that emphasized the cheekbones...
For #1, the physical detail is far more personal than the information.
ReplyFinally, I now have a comeback for when people accuse me of having a small dick
ReplyMy Wife Wants to Measure my Taint Now! Thanks @GaijinAss.
Replyim glad im not the only one who intends to force her guy to have his taint measured
Since we're at the subject of dongs I've got a question: do all black men have huge shlongs (compared to white men)? And if so, why? WHY?!?!
Reply Hide All See All 5 RepliesNo, they don't. The average black dick is about 1 centimeter (less than 1/2 an inch) longer than an average white dick; but the size requirement for black men in the porn industry is way bigger, thus, creating and enforcing the stereotype.
BarProphet:
"No, they don't. The average black dick is about 1 centimeter (less than 1/2 an inch) longer than an average white dick; but the size requirement for black men in the porn industry is way bigger, thus, creating and enforcing the stereotype."
Yeah, that's what we all tell ourselves too.
Biggest dicks on average come from south america
I don't see why Nnoitra's comment got so many negative votes. Sure it's a tad racist and a little wierd, but it is a legit question.
Because of height and relation to the rest of the body.
