I have this theory that there is a certain number of “face templates” that exists for people. Often, I’ll meet someone and think, “You have the exact facial structure as so and so.” Those two people may not be of the same ethnicity, and they may not even look that alike. . .except for their “face template.” The two more distinct face templates to me are worn by the celebrities Quentin Tarantino and Conan O’Brien. It’s likely you’ve met someone who shares either one of those face templates.
Having been in Japan for three weeks now, I have collected enough visual proof to corroborate my theory. I have seen so many people here who have the same face templates of my friends back home. I can recognize the face templates in this society—some that I know, some that are new to me—and make connections between the strangers that I observe. I hope to continue proving my theory right as I travel throughout the world.
Wow Krystal, we MUST be related because I have the same theory but never knew what to call it, and you hit it right on! Face Template! Sometimes I notice that they even almost have the same type of personality. I put people in categories based on their face template.
ReplyDeleteTo hope to prove is contrary to science.
