Researchers have found we have an inbuilt ability to tell how intelligent a man is just by looking at them.
The team from the Czech Republic found people we unable to perform the same deduction on women.
The team admit they are baffled as to how we do it - and say it does not appear to be based on symmetry of the alignment of features.
Both men and women were able to accurately evaluate the intelligence of men by viewing facial photographs, they discovered.
'Faces that are perceived as highly intelligent are rather prolonged with a broader distance between the eyes, a larger nose, a slight upturn to the corners of the mouth, and a sharper, pointing, less rounded chin.
'By contrast, the perception of lower intelligence is associated with broader, more rounded faces with eyes closer to each other, a shorter nose, declining corners of the mouth, and a rounded and massive chin.

Even in ‘78 I might have thought that was Nurse Ratched and her ward.
Interesting...I thought it might have had something to do with their pants dragging on the ground.
But, with monster tattooed on his forehead, rest assured he will drink it from a dirty glass.

Uh-oh. I’m in trouble.

Now that he’s had the reconfiguration, he doesn’t even have that going for him.
He really does look stupid now, and his face looks like a potato.
LMBO.
I just had a visual of a low-class woman with a cigarette stuck to her lower lip. The entire family would be in a run-down,single-wide trailer that is filled with cigarette smoke.
How do smokers manage to talk with a cigarette in their mouth?
We can, however, determine hitability.
I'd hit it. I'd hit it. I'd hit it, twice.
This is why I keep the same look all the time.
The dumb look is just for cover.
I’ve been using it all My life.
Physiognomy has survival value.
I can’t speak to nose size, but open eyes (eyes which are wide open and eye brows which point upward at the center) indicate open mind (i.e. love of exploration, research, and digging) and the slight upturn at the corners of the mouth indicate a positive, can-do attitude (i.e. enthusiasm, which is an imperative in the use of the intellect).
