* Certain behavioral conditions may result in particular facial expressions. For example, very intense people might bite their lips, crunch their teeth, chew their nails and engage in other nervous tics. Autists are often described to have an empty, monotonous facial expression. Some mental conditions result in a tilted mouth. Socially excluded individuals may develop tics as nobody is there to correct their behavior, or such behavior may be induced by the greater stress such people often face. People are, in fact, able to infer other's mental conditions above chance level based on photos.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0092656618300394</ref> Autists are often recognized as less approachable and attractive within seconds.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Autists_are_judged_as_awkward.2C_less_physically_attractive_and_less_approachable_within_seconds</ref> | * Certain behavioral conditions may result in particular facial expressions.

===Infidelity physiognomy=== | |||
Foo et al. (2019) found that women relied on men's attractiveness, facial masculinity, and overall perceived trustworthiness to attempt to determine their likelihood of committing infidelity, however of these traits only facial masculinity predicted ''actual'' infidelity related behaviors above chance. This effect however, was weak, with only 14.1–18.0% of raters being able to accurately gauge men's infidelity related behaviors above chance.<ref>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26244776/</ref> There was no such effect found for women, despite men being able to judge infidelity related behaviors above chance in other men. Earlier research, found that men could only make above accuracy judgements of infidelity when presented with two women, one of whom had committed infidelity several times in the past compared to who had not.<ref>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26244776/</ref> | |||

A study in 2017 found that fWHR influences social status, with Popes and CEOs typically having higher than average fWHRs. This association between fWHR and social dominance is due to either broad-faced leaders being more effective and socially dominant, or due to their being perceived to be so.<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5679545/</ref> | * A study in 2017 found that fWHR influences social status, with Popes and CEOs typically having higher than average fWHRs.
