I believe this. But looks can be deceiving as well.
Physiognomy

the human vision system has spent over 100,000 training on face data. i have read neurology studies about how our brains detect faces in random data, in our dreams and in altered states like under anasthesia. we are hard wired reading faces. there's a million reasons why, but all that is important is that we are primed to see faces everywhere, so it's probably pretty important since Nature has dedicated like 5% of our brain CPU to facial recognition.
therefore i could see there being a kernel of truth to physiognomy. it's not a discredited science, it's just not yet understood because we lack the tools which can precisely measure what we instinctively know in order to accurately interpret it.
even crazier, i believe that our faces change as we age to reflect who we really are based on the kind of life we live. you can sense the face of a murderer, a soiboi NPC and a good person.

There was an image i had passed over that suggested upper palate dimensions were correlated with frontal brain development. I wish I had saved it to study more.
Weston Price did an environmental evaluation that showed teeth occlusion occured with a western diet. This was the difference between a well developed jaw, and a morbid crowded jaw. Instinctual physiognomy will attract you to the more aesthetic. Possible reasons could be: food types affecting neurotransmitters, food textures affecting muscle tone, foods affecting inflammation and bone development. All which could secondarily affect your mind creating stability vs neurosis. Thus physiognomy correlates with the brain.

Wasn't there some machine learning physiognomy project that got shut down?

Here's a homunculus showing the wide eyed which is equal to the large portion of vision to our brain's sensory input. Fairly useless otherwise from a physiognomy standpoint.
And the other pic is the before and after of meth, which illustrates your statement of people changing over time with their mind.

OP I have a book on this.
Also I always find that peoples behavior infallibly matches with their appearance and that if someone's character changes so does their appearance then. I know what every detail of a person's face means. I got out of my way to talk to people and find out how they think and what they believe and it always ends up being what I thought.

physiognomy is definitely real. here's a paper about an AI trained to detect faggotry in humans. osf.io
what's especially interesting about this paper is that it states that human judges were correct 50-60% of the time in identifying the gay, which mean that not only did biologically successful humans pass on a trait to help them identify queers, but that it's also pretty accurate

shit, here's the pdf

The gays are better looking.
