Mian Xian/ Face Reading

[Som-Pong]

Saw the thread on this that you took over Canuckster. Your dad seems insightful. As a man living the thug life I've needed to develop these skills myself.

[Canuckster]

Yeah, I guess Donjohnson really is a cuckold beta asian. Can't even hold his own threads together.

This skill takes YEARS to develop I'm still trying to learn it. I've gotten decent at it but my father is an adept at it.

[Canuckster]

Also. While the asians do this, the first recorded efforts to document the skill were Greek I believe.

my wife is into this shit. She has tons of books and mags about it, but its all in Chinese. Every year, around Chinese New Year, they will have some books out in English about the astrology, feng shui, and face/palm readings for the upcoming year. I'll try to get my hands on one this year and compare notes with ya.

[Som-Pong]

Yep, the Greeks used it.
DB: Cool!

[Masato]

Would the same techniques/patterns be found in both asian and western studies of this nature?

I would guess a lot of features would be very different. The EY thread was talking about big overhanging noses, etc for example... does that exist the same way in asian complexions?

Would Canuckster's pop be anywhere as efficient when reading asian people, or people of other distinct races?

[Som-Pong]

Culture also plays in heavily when it comes to body language and the like. I believe that lacking insight into the culture of the person you are analyzing disqualifies the analysis.

- Face reading is reading the person expressions?

[Som-Pong]

No it is not.
However any person interested in face reading would be interested in reading the rest of the subject. Or so I reckon.

His dad was so spot on doing mine the wife still doesn't believe it wasn't done by a friend. I asked her if she wanted hers done and she said she'd rather not know.
