Attributing personal meanings to facial expressions

Post Reply New Topic

When I was a child, there was a commercial on TV in which a guy says to a woman "I care a great deal about my family" and she gave her a skeptical look. Now, I took that expression to mean "you weak guy" as I used to think of talking about caring and loving as a sign of weakness.
Anyone?

I was late for dinner as a kid, and my dad gave me this (presumably) disapproving look, which to this day I call his "late face" because I associate it with being late.

you're expressing a bizarre pov about a bizarre commercial.

"Caring" about one's family would be the desirable thing. So if she were giving him a skeptical look it would mean that she thought he was lying about "caring about his family" to make himself look good in public, and she was ,for some reason , convinced that he didnt care about his family. Why she would think that I do not know (maybe he squandered money on himself to buy a boat, and did not save for his kids college education, or something). Depends upon what product the commercial was advertising. Any way- thats how most people would probably interpret her facial expression. Though it sounds like an odd commerical.

See, the commercial as such was not odd, just my interpretation.I was just asking if is common with asperger to attache unsual meaning to facial epressions
