Face Reader

No, I'm so glad you asked that because it's the opposite. We all want the quick stereotype. How often have you gone to an event, a job interview and the person gives one quick look at you and gives you the gong. It has happened to most of us. It's painful if someone doesn't like the color of your skin or your hair or eyes. Someone has used the stereotype -- not pretty enough, not handsome enough -- and the person doesn't see you after making a judgment like that.

What's something that a reader might be able to glean by looking at a person's mouth?

How often have you heard that your sexiness is directly proportionate to the fullness of your lips? A face reader would say what lip fullness is about is personal comfort with self-disclosure. And what I mean by that is people who have fuller lips are relatively comfortable at talking about things that are personal: my feelings; the traumas of my childhood; my religious experiences, you name it.

Can you still read a person if they have a face-lift, Botox or a nose job?

What face readers have said for the past 5,000 years is that there's a reciprocal relationship between the person and the physical face. So if you change one then you change the other. Most of us evolve because we grow on the inside and then our faces change on the outside. But if you change your face on the outside then you are going to change on the inside.

Can we play a game where you look at a picture of a celebrity and see what you can tell me?

Sure. I'm near the Internet so I can just pull up their images.

Okay, let's start with Angelina Jolie.

She's got the movie star philtrum. There's a part of the face that's about sexiness and people don't even know what it's called, how funny is that? . . . There's one part of the face that is specifically about sex and it is spelled p-h-i-l-t-r-u-m. This is over the lip -- the place between the nose and the mouth. Now what [Jolie] has on a scale from one to 10, checking out her philtrum definition, those two ridges that go from the nose to the mouth, she's got a 10. . . . The philtrum is about sex appeal and she does have extreme sex appeal.

I like your assessment. Let's move on to the next one: Jennifer Aniston.

Well, let's look at her philtrum since we are talking about Angelina. [Aniston] is only an eight, but it's a lot deeper.

So what does that mean?

You can learn a lot about someone's sexual appetite by reading a philtrum, not just sex appeal. So having that extreme depth to her philtrum suggests that she takes an uncommon amount of pleasure in sexuality, in being with her partner -- that it's a very important thing to her.

Let's move on to a big question. How can I tell by someone's face if they are an honest person?

One aspect to look at is to see if the person has a crooked smile or the person's mouth has physically moved way over to the right side of the face. That means the speech of the person is intended for public consumption and has much less personal relevance or truth. It's a bad sign and you can experiment by trying to talk out of that side of your mouth.

So is there any way to beat the face reading system?

[Laughs.] No. You can't. That's why deeper perception is catching on. It's very empowering.
