Awesome vid. I was told that the depth of the philtrum shows how much you respect and how well you treat your family. The deeper it is, the more family oriented you are. Also, the more fingers (fingerprints) you have with swirl mean the more creative you are.

The hair whirl thing is a great correlation to creativity! It makes sense someone might call you stubborn the more creatively inclined you are…anyway it’s just for fun. :) My brothers both have one & I have lucky ears ^_^

I have heard that if one has rough skin they are extremely competitive, and will even view simple everyday tasks as if there was a score board. If one has smooth skin they are sweet. When one's mouth and or eyebrows (not including the arch) is very, if not perfectly in a strait horizontal line they are logical. And of course, those with dimples are carefree, fun to be around, however they take on other's traits and problems easily.

I also have the lines on my forearms about an inch from my inner elbow... I think Chinese friends once noticed and made something of it. But I am a mix of European and a bit Native American. Chinese friends said I looked half Chinese (but they hadn't really seen someone half Chinese before) -- they said it was my eyebrows. Thick and dark.

@samaraisnt Жыл бұрын

We natives descended from Asian people, that’s why we are mistaken for “Chinese” (they mean you look generally Asian, they’re just i-g-n-o-r-a-n-t.) Also, these types of traits can exist predominantly in a group but not every single person has it, traits do overlap with Indigenous folks. For instance, 90% of East Asian people have a gene that means you don’t create BO or wet ear wax, we share that trait and it’s the majority of Natives as well. But it doesn’t mean someone without BO is Chinese…it’s just a bad correlation. We’re all related in the human family anyway. :)

morton's toe in chinese says 二指長過公，唔洗一世窮, means that u won't be in poverty alive or not for long. haven't heard of the one u say tho. we can see by looking at the distance btw eyes and eyebrows. If it's far apart then your family bonding is close, whereas a narrow distance means early independent and weaker fam bonding. u can also check on ur palm lines, a line starts btw your thumb and index fing and then slit into 2. longer then 1 finger wide, means u move out from parents place late
