Faces reveal a lot – but the science needs to be interpreted with care

If we are to believe research conducted over the last decade or so, the answer is: a lot. And according to a recent study, facial dimensions can even reveal a person's sex drive. While men had a higher sex drive than women, in both sexes it was people with relatively wider faces that had this higher sex drive. On its own, this finding seems surprising at best and crazy at worst – how could the shape of someone's face possibly have anything to do with their libido? When viewed in the context of other studies, however, it starts becoming clearer that there may be some logic and truth to it.
