'Broad-faced' men may cheat for money

A man's face might hint if he is bad to the bone, as a new study has found that people with wider faces tend to be more devious and more willing to cheat.

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in the US found that men with broader faces were approximately three times as likely to lie in negotiations than their narrower faced peers to gain more financial benefit.

For their study, the researchers carried out several experiments to analyse if men's facial structure has anything to do with their personality traits, Live Science reported.

In one experiment, researchers measured the facial width-to-height ratio of 192 students, 115 of whom were men, and randomly assigned them to play either buyer's or seller's roles in negotiations over emails.

It was found men with broader faces were approximately three times as likely to lie in the negotiation than narrower-faced men. facial width was not linked to either deveption or trust worthiness in women. In another experiment, the researchers analysed how willing volunteers were to cheat.

They had 103 students, 50 of whom were men, and asked them to roll a pair of dice to see how many times they would be entered into a lottery. Participants had the chance to lie about their dice roll to increase their chances of winning. Men with broader faces overstated their dice rolls by 18.6 percent.

Backbiting women more selfish than men

          A new survey has revealed that women are more selfish than men and more likely to criticise their friends behind their backs. It also claimed that they ignore charity workers at the front door more than men and shun office workmates by making their own tea.

          Women are also less likely to return a favour and don't  bother handing money back after seeing someone drop it, reports the courier mail.

            More than half of females(55 percent) admitted they choose the evening meal without taking their partner into consideration.

           Blokes fared slightly better helping out elderly with heavy shopping bags and giving change to the homeless.

original volunteers, the UK's largest independent overseas volunteering organisation, questioned 2,000 people of both sexes on their attitudes and behaviour towards selfless acts.

A third have lied in order to improve thir chances at work and four in 10 haven't got hold of members of their family for 'too long'.

         Men were also far from being squeaky clean a quarter said they haven''t given someone cash when they were in desperate need of it and one in five purposefully try to dodge buying rounds in the pub. the same number has pushed into a queue.

           And while they're happy to volunteer at a sporting event, men are less likey to help at fundraisers or go abroad for projects. Incredibly, half of the people said they comitted two or more selfish acts every day.

"We'reall guilty of the occasional' selfish act but this just goes to show how precious we've become over our own time", said the programme director, Ms Caroline Revell.
