=== Villainous couple ===
=== Villainous couple ===
This villainous couple tends to put the [[Hybristophilia|amygdala region of the brain on high alert.]] They are described, as [[dark triad]], evil, and manipulative. Everyone seems to view the woman to be some type of seductively attractive [[witch]]. This suggests that among women an evil personality may be intrinsically correlated with [[witch|slight facial deformities]] on an otherwise attractive face. Where as on men a large cut at just the right angle over the face seems to improve attractiveness. Indeed a study done in 2008 by a team of researchers at the University of Liverpool proves that women indeed do find battle scarred men as more attractive for short term relationships.<ref>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/11/081118081446.htm</ref> {{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hheod0N-jvw|frame|}}

=== Facial trust ===
Someone's facial appearance plays a large role in how trustworthy they are perceived to be. Attractive people, for instance, are seen as warmer and more trustworthy than unattractive people due to the [[halo effect]]. However attractiveness isn't the only facial characteristic people use to make snap judgement of trustworthiness.
For example, it has been found that wider faced men are seen as less trustworthy, and this means people are less willing to co-operate with them.<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0956797610362647</ref> This type of bias can sometimes result in dire outcomes for men judged as less trustworthy on the basis of their facial appearance. For instance, Wilson & O'Rule (2015) found that men with less trustworthy appearing faces were more likely to receive hard prison sentences and even the death penalty.<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0956797615590992</ref>
DeBruine (2002) found that people also tend to trust those who bear a greater facial resemblance to themselves, possibly due to kin selection based evolutionary mechanisms and perceived relatedness.<ref>https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/abs/10.1098/rspb.2002.2034</ref>
