Franz Wertvollen. Ordinary letters of a priest of his dead wife (№ 420303)

HE: Seven times more often. Regardless of whether the interlocutor agrees or disagrees with the message, he will express approval. That is, he can translate the topic, get around the plot, but psychologically - with a smile, gestures, eyes, he will express approval. You know, by the way, that we read the emotions of the interlocutor by the muscles around the eyes. Therefore, everyone tends to seek or, conversely, diligently avoid eye contact during serious conversations. Even when recruiting for positions such as engineer or accountant, preference among equal candidates is given to the one who is more beautiful. Subconsciously. The funny thing is that consciously you will explain your choice with anything other than appearance. You will say I preferred X because he is more punctual. When they prove to you that this is not so, you will find other justifications for the choice: more polite, neater, more thoughtful, more attentive. When all possible excuses were refuted, the subjects invariably gave the same phrase - I just trust him more. And everyone, absolutely everyone denied that they had chosen X, because that one had more beautiful eyes.
