There is a connection between physiology and human character
Who among us, reading about the adventures of Sherlock Holmes, has not envied his ability to calculate all the innermost secrets of people, paying attention to the smallest details of their appearance? Of course, life is much more complicated than the most sophisticated literary fiction, and even very insightful people are unlikely to achieve the perfection of the great detective created by Arthur Conan Doyle.
Nevertheless, there are some patterns that allow you to determine personality traits or health status based on the physiological characteristics of a person.
1. According to statistics, women with wide hips are less scrupulous in choosing partners
An amazing fact - you can estimate how likely your first date will end in sex by the width of a woman's hips. This is according to a study conducted by employees of the University of Leeds (UK). Experts studied some aspects of the sexual behavior of female volunteers, including the number of sexual partners and the age at which they lost their virginity, and then checked how these indicators correlated with the physical parameters of their waists, hips and buttocks. It turned out that women with wide hips, as a rule, more often practice "no-strings-attached sex", while women with narrow hips are more predisposed to long-term relationships and are more careful in choosing partners. Of course, the objectivity of such a study leaves much to be desired - it is possible that the participants simply exaggerated the activity of their sexual lives. However, scientists argue that this phenomenon can be explained by biological factors - women with wide pelvises often have much fewer problems with childbirth, so nature itself sets them up for procreation.
2. Sex with obese men is usually longer
According to data published in the International Journal of Impotence Research, overweight men are less hasty in sex than slim men. Experts from Turkey studied the sexual lives of men of different builds for a year, and it turned out that in obese men, lovemaking lasts on average 7 minutes 18 seconds, while in thin men it is more than four times less - about 1 minute 43 seconds.
3. You can judge the predisposition to a sport by the color of your eyes
As you know, in some sports, people with certain physical characteristics are more likely to achieve success - for example, to be a professional basketball player, you need to be taller than average, and, say, in American football they prefer to take only strong, strong guys. Less obvious physical features can also indicate future outstanding achievements in sports - for example, eye color. The results of several experiments show that people with brown eyes are more likely to succeed in those sports that require a quick reaction, including tennis, football or boxing. Blue or green eyes, in turn, are a sign that a person is more suitable for unhurried sports disciplines that require strategic thinking - for example, golf, chess or bowling. This curious effect is explained by physiology - light eyes are more sensitive to sunlight, which complicates the processing of visual information and slows down decision-making by fractions of a second. A simple example - a blue-eyed boxer can be confused even by a glare on the referee's watch, as a result of which he will miss a strong blow, while a brown-eyed boxer in his place would not even pay attention to the visual stimulus.
4. Earlobes "predict" heart attacks
Cardiovascular diseases are one of the main problems of modern humanity. Their development is significantly influenced by factors such as lifestyle, diet and bad habits, but there is a rather unusual way to immediately determine a person's predisposition to a heart attack - pay attention to the shape of their ears. If there are diagonal folds on the earlobes, which doctors call "Frank's sign", this is a sure sign of a predisposition to the development of cardiovascular diseases. It sounds like something out of science fiction, but such folds really allow you to judge heart problems. During one study of this phenomenon, doctors examined the bodies of more than three hundred patients who died from heart disease, while "Frank's signs" were found in 72% of men and 67% of women. Later, other experts questioned the value of this experiment and conducted their own. The researchers took into account factors such as the presence of jewelry in the ears and even the sleeping position, but they were also forced to admit that there is some connection between folds on the earlobes and heart ailments. So far, there is no scientific explanation for such a mysterious phenomenon - experts are lost in conjecture and continue experiments.
