Perfect

I read this morning that women with high estrogen levels have higher voices. The height:width ratio of a beautiful face is 1.6:1. The face should be divided equally in three planes, from the top of the head to the bottom of the forehead, from the bottom of the forehead to the bottom of the nose, and from there to the bottom of the chin. I also have read that movie stars have larger heads, that we are more attracted to people with big heads in pictures. Babies stare longer at pictures of pretty people than at photos of others.

Depending upon our hormones mixtures, we are more attracted to the way some people smell over others.

The article "surprised" me this morning by pointing out that sexual attraction and love were not the same thing.

I work with several people who met their mates on eHarmony. I guess maybe they have the love thing figured out, too.

I've learned that if I try to make my face have the same expression as the person I'm looking at, I can feel what they feel. OK. I've not learned that, but I believe it. It has saved me a lot of trouble, I think. I can tell by making the face if the person will respond to me positively or not. I know. You don't believe me. Try it.

The point is. . . . OK. I'm just free associating, but I prefer my soft science somehow. I am impressed by the science of attraction and love, but it doesn't make me happy. I'm not going to measure my face. Alright. It is tempting. But I am not. I hate disappointment. Besides, I think I have to be as attractive as Humphrey Bogart or Jack Nicholson. I have a big head.

And I'll never do eHarmony. I certainly don't want someone who is a good match for me. It would just be too disappointing. I don't think I could live with that much self-knowledge.
