Ever wondered why you get hit on by guys who just want some hit and run? Or women just want to have a one night stand with you? Here is the answer … You have a ‘lust’ face!
Apparently, facial features tell whether you are looking for love or lust. If you are looking for a one nighter, then quit trying too hard coz it might just be written all over your face.
According to a recent study by by U.K. researchers, one can tell just by looking at someone’s face whether they’re interested in casual sex or long-term commitment. And something that may not come as a surprise to you is: women have a propensity to be more drawn to the guys who look like real boyfriend material, while men are attracted to faces that scream “ONE NIGHT STAND�.
The researchers created combined images of college students who identified themselves as either looking for a fling or true love. 700 participants were then asked to separate the hussies from the prudes. And do I really have to tell you the outcome? 72 percent of the participants were right more than half the time; however they couldn’t exactly explain their guesses.
“They had the gut instinct, but they didn’t understand it,� says Lynda Boothroyd, a psychology professor at Durham University in Durham, England, and lead author of the study.
For guys, a square jaw, prominent eyebrows and nose and smaller eyes have a propensity to belong to the sluttier kind of male where as men with softer features were more likely to be looking for a long-term relationship.
In the case of women, both men and women participants thought that the sexy, hot mamacitas are more likely to have flings … They were right! Stunning thing is that the participants couldn’t pinpoint a specific facial feature that meant a woman was looking for a casual hook-up besides just being slightly more classically attractive.
I guess its all common sense. The hotter you are, the more opportunities you have of to getting some. Plus another theory could be, if you are more attractive, people kinda expect you to have more partners. And more often than not, we live up to people’s expectations. (I mean, why disappoint the majority 
)
Caroline Keating, a psychology professor at Colgate University sees it as a self fulfilling prophecy. “The way we think of ourselves is a reflection in part of how others see us,� she says. “So when we go out in the world, we’re looking at ourselves through a reflection of other people’s views … Physical appearance cues tell us more about people than we’re even consciously aware of … So in fact, we do judge a book by its cover. And the funny thing is, it often works for us.�
Looking at the pairs above, which ones scream “F*** me quick”? Do you think your face could be the one standing in the way of you being in a long term relationship? Well, next time you go out husband hunting, be less attractive. And for the men who have square jaws like the likes of Clive Owen, visit a plastic surgeon and get a Matthew fox face.

Comment by Kanzan on 16 April 2008:
This makes me very curious - comments from any ladies re: my face?
Comment by ExitDetroit on 16 April 2008:
Any ladies care to take a guess?
Comment by Yoliebugg on 16 April 2008:
Well, I happen to agree! The more handsome, pretty, beautiful, FINE, or whatever, people tend to be prone to thinking that you have had, and will continue to have multiple partners…..
ExitDetroit-looks like he’s got “cumm n get it!!!” written all over his face!! (Not that that is a bad thing…….You asked for a guess!!)
Comment by lilo4love on 16 April 2008:
I will take a guess on all of you.
Herelambaby lust face
Kanzan love face
ExitDetroit lust face
Yoliebugg Love face
Comment by ethereal99 on 16 April 2008:
For some folks, looks can change depending on clothes, hairstyle or even mood. But, true, some people have that look of LUST or LTR material all the time. In the end, hotness is in the eye of the beholder. After the first look, some interaction & conversation is needed & then the person can be even more lustful or not. I agree, mossimo36, the photos are quite similar. More examples showing different races would have been nice & fun. Still, a good job Ria, but PS: I won’t be getting plastic surgery anytime soon, too late for that !

I’m just a down to earth girl that’s holding out for Love but I agree with ethereal99, looks can change depending on the hairstyle or mood… Maybe I should change my picture on this site

Comment by MissStang on 17 April 2008:
I realize that was a study but I’m unsure I agree. If this is correct, then, in essence, they are saying if you are perceived at attractive in a more “noticeable” way that you are more prone to lustful situations. I think that’s a way for us to start all new stereotypes based on attractive vs. lesser attractive people.
Comment by Fadedsuede on 17 April 2008:
Ahhhh - I got sum luv ~
Comment by Yoliebugg on 17 April 2008:
I agree with Miss Stang-
But we as a people do base many decisions on what we see first. How many offers for sex come with internet dating? Especially based on the first glance of a beautiful/lustful/love face. Some percieve it as “too good to be true…” The stereo type is already there!! People look at a persons looks first, I am a Thic Chic, and I have gotten negative as well as positive “Flirts,” but based on my size, I get the more negative, “you wanna have sex,” comments than anything. Nevermind the fact that I am an amazing woman, who is professionally, and financially stable, I don’t fit what “society” calls an acceptable size, therefore, I am judged on a stereotype. So, looks can be deceiving!!

I agree with that but what this article opens up for me are the following things:
1. Who gets to accurately decide if someones face is “loveful” or “lustful”
2. Who is deciding what’s attractive vs. unattractive?
I think people are so fast to offer sex to those THEY find attractive because of the anonymity of being online, how many attractive people do those SAME people see daily on the street but would not DARE come off with some of the same madness they do online??
So, yes, I agree that we already have some stereotyping going on but when “research” starts to outline what they think is the trend, some take it as gospel. I still thinks this sets it up for people to continue to make gross misconceptions about “attractive” and “unattractive” people.
Comment by kenyanito on 18 April 2008:
lol…i have always imagined mine is love face…the findings could be misleading but prove me wrong pls!
Comment by SxyWhtTiger on 18 April 2008:
I think the pictures are so misleading…I can’t tell by the pictures in this article. Also I think it’s more about a persons character, personality and how they carry themselves that determines if they are looking for just a sexual relationship. I myself would say I have a love face because I look for more than just a hop in the sack because there is so much more to a relationship than just sex.
Comment by Honeekissed on 18 April 2008:
I think I have a LOVE face…but tell me what you think. Does my face scream out LOVE or LUST ?
Comment by ivorycelt on 18 April 2008:
HoneyKissed.
Well to me - a good balance of love and lust.
But then i had a look at your other profile pics and rekon you sell lust in the hope of getting some love - but you probably get more lust approaches than love. Hmmmm
Comment by r_u_myknight on 18 April 2008:
I think I have a love face…What do you think?
Comment by Blkbeauty31 on 18 April 2008:
Hey everybody! I can identify with having that gut feeling about a man’s initial interest in me. A man’s eyes and body language tell the story. If a “one nighter” is on a man’s mind, his eyes tend to rome everywhere but my face. Men that are interested in more try to hide their fixation toward my body until later. I notice that I do the same thing if I am very physically attracted to a man! I believe that I have a love face though for the most part.
Comment by blkbeauty31 on 18 April 2008:
I forgot to mention that I feel that part about attractive people being more likely to have more partners was unfair and discriminatory. That shows how wrong people can be about their expectations of others when they dont know them.
Comment by Linda254 on 19 April 2008:
mmmmmhhhhhhh food for thought, now am curious as to what my face conveys.
Comment by Lordraiser on 19 April 2008:
I agree with so many of the comments on here …and thanks to blkbeauty31 …because it is unfair for people to look at a person and just assume that your a slut because you are attractive or you are comfortable with your sexuality …..Heck I do more fantasizing about sex than having it ….don’t get me wrong …I have had relationships where I have had amazing sex …but for the most part these men were very insecure ….and you know what I was also insecure because I felt that they were more interested in me because of what I looked like …so I stopped trying to fit into whatever it was that men thought of me …I found myself torn between trying to be some sex kitten for the man that I was with or acted like a total prude to counter act a man being insecure with my looks …so I said the heck with it and just was myself …all of it …I have never looked at myself as being this total cute or hot sexy woman or whatever men think of me ….but have tried to let them know that I do actually have intelligent thought in my head ….but it’s funny when you meet the right guy …he will see you as a whole person ….but as women we have to open our eyes …we are always looking for a man to have a certain attractiveness or some kind of status in life instead of looking at a man’s heart …and I have to admit …I sometimes fell into this category …and you know what ladies don’t overlook the guys with a disability …he is still a man ….his body does not take this away from him ….I met an amazing man on here who refused to look at me as a sexual being …but was insistant that I knew that he cared for me as a woman and as a person ….and yes that made me want him all the more ….he is a great guy and he has a great heart ….and I Had to take my own advise and open my eyes and see him for the man that he was…….so I could open my heart ….and yes …I agree with the person who said you know what sometimes it’s a person’s peronality that draws you in …and his personality …..man ….I did not even want to fall in love …it scares the crap out of me because of all the messed up stuff that has been done to me in the past …but his gentleness and his quite confidence within himself and the fact that he loves the sex kitten in me …but he loves the woman that I am more …so he was the one showing restraint ….and made me wait ….so yeah …I totally agree too that the visual may suck you in at first …but it is definately what’s in a person’s heart that keeps you there …but you have to be at a place in your life where you can accept the gift of love and I had to grow as a person as a woman so that I could appreciate the gift of love that God gave me in him ….man do I love this man …and he had a face of love …but his heart and his peronality is what now gives him a face of lust ….so you can have your cake and eat it too …but you have to open your eyes first …I’m glad I did ….because I would have overlooked the best thing that’s happened to me since the birth of my two childen ….and Linda254 if I was a guy …I would definately think you had a face that was meant for love and lust ….I mean that as a compliment ..there is a soft quite joy about your face that would make any man want to love you with his heart and then love you with his body …so people just be yourself …and the right person will come along when you least expect it who will give balance to the love and the lust ….oh and I found this amazing guy right here on this site…..
Comment by ladyl44 on 19 April 2008:
I would say I have both of them.
Eventhough, lusting get’s me in trouble all the time I wear it well. lol!!

I have been wondering if my comment - re honey kissed has been missunderstood.
So please, if honey or anyone else found my comment hurtfull, offensive or missplaced, then please let me know as that was never the intention. If so then it would seem that my point had been missed completly. Big appology!

I have a lust face, wonder why noone agrees….
Comment by kenyanito on 5 May 2008:
Faces or looks sometimes do cheat.. I think its all in ones understanding on who/what you wanna be.
After all who hasn’t indulged in lust at one time or the other? Trust me…deep down at times vulnerability creeps in.

I am not having my jaw changed.
Comment by casualmg on 8 May 2008:
many lust faces i just saw at casualloving dot com….
Comment by amantebelle on 18 May 2008:
I agree with the study, I’m very secure in my sexuality and I’ve been told that I am very attractive. I am usually approached by men who only want physical relationships. I’ve never had a “boyfriend” because from the feed back I’ve gotten they didn’t trust me enough to go to the next level of the relationship, because I am very attractive, friendly and outgoing and I do get attention when I’m out whether I’m alone or not. So I’m not sure if I’m dating insecure men or I need to tone it down a bit.
Comment by fala on 25 May 2008:
LMAO@Imaboss - I don’t think it’s your face they’re looking at.
Comment by ExitDetroit on 26 May 2008:
Wow..i’ve been so busy knockin boots i forgot i even left a comment on this blog. LOL..juuuust kidding. But you might be right about me Yoliebugg. Even though i consider myself a man of substance, the few women i actually know seem to think of me more as a hunk of beef that’s been marinated and slow cooked over an open fire. I have about five pictures of myself on my Myspace page, and about 50 other pics of people places and things that i’m interested in. But it’s always the face and body pics that get the comments.

Comment by bobbilicious on 27 July 2008:
well now i know why men constantly hit on me but it doesn’t go on to develop into a relationship …it’s almost like they’re thinking i couldn’t possibly know how to have a relationship … i don’t have a problem meeting men and having alot of interest even if i’m out with someone …i always hear that i’m attractive sexy hot all-woman and so on and so on ..don’t mean to sound conceited …i think having a lust face is a compliment but frustrating at the same time
p.s. had a date with an australian man who i really like and he’s keeping up the contact since he went home …must really like me …it would be too hard to keep up just lust from australia to canada eh …lol

p.s. had a great date with an australian man i really liked …he’s keeping up the contact since returning to australia ..must like me because it’s hard to keep up just lust from australia to canada eh ..lol ..fingers are crossed
Comment by JZee on 31 July 2008:
That Sucks! Now it all makes sense but it sucks. I like looking as great as I possibly can. I foremost look to being attractive for myself first and if others benefit, then I’m happy to have made someone smile and I am appreciative that they appreciate it. However, I am far from being permiscuous and I absolutely abhor the idea of being lusted after solely for the looks. Its such a tragedy that people can’t see beauty in beauty and not all lust in beauty.
