Women's traits 'written on face'
A woman's personality traits may be "written all over her face", research has suggested.
The Glasgow University and New Scientist study examined whether self-assessed personality characteristics could be identified from appearance.
It claimed that women's faces were easier to read than men's faces, with greater success in matching traits.
Glasgow University's Dr Rob Jenkins said: "We did not expect there to be such a difference between the sexes."
Dr Jenkins, a specialist in the psychology of social interaction, devised the study, along with Professor Richard Wiseman, of the University of Hertfordshire.
Dr Jenkins said the research should pave the way for further investigations into the link between a person's character and their appearance...

So, Dr Jenkins thinks you can read a woman like a book.
Personally, I thought they were a piece of cake.

I went to a talk about Imam Shafi'i, and the speaker said that he studied this (not women's faces! He studied the 'science' of reading personality from physical characteristics).
One day he was stranded in an unknown town and someone came up to him who he (using his knowledge of what he'd studied) judged the man to be unfriendly and bad.
Then, to his surprise, the man offered him food, and a place to stay for the night.
He was shocked that his judgment had been so inaccurate, and as far as I know, decided that the 'science' was not real/reliable.
But then, in the morning, the man presented him with a large bill for the food and bed for the night, so Imam Shafi'i decided that it WAS a correct science after all!
disclaimer: I have no idea of the accuracy of this, but the talk was, like, an official talk by someone who sounded like they knew what they were talking about).
Don't just do something! Stand there.
Subhan'Allah, such is the wisdom of the greats.
Talking of greats, Pir Naseer Uddin Naseer has pased away (

admin; is it not possible to enable 'guests' the ability to edit, ie; once cookies are linked ?
Is it right to judge people by their looks? Think of it that way, maybe everyone in that place would have given him abig bill.

Even if the accuracy of judging someone by their appearance is only 70%-80%, I would suggest that is still a worthwhile method of saving a LOT of time (i.e. by getting to know everyone properly and trusting them all at least once).
