handwriting analyst and vice-chair of the British Institute of Graphologists. According to Rostron, you should look at how a doodle is drawn to find out its true meaning. Emotional people who want harmony and crave affection tend to use rounded shapes and curved lines. Down-to-earth, practical types tend to use straight lines and squares. Determined people will use corners, zigzags and triangles, while more hesitant types use light, sketchy strokes. A large doodle shows a person is confident and outgoing, while a small one suggests the person prefers to observe rather than participate.

Fatherhood keeps man loyal 男人当爹变忠诚

Research shows that a drop in male hormones makes men more family oriented and less likely to stray after fatherhood. The National Academy of Sciences followed 624 young men before and after they became fathers and revealed that as soon as a man had a baby, his testosterone levels dropped substantially. Larger falls were also seen in those who were more involved in childcare. Experts said that testosterone levels in men generally don’t change much. They can slowly decline as men get older and change in response to some medical conditions and treatment. But to see dramatic changes in response to family life is intriguing.
