To me, these faces, and many other faces, look like they are waiting to kill and eat me. I experience this perception to the extent that sourcing the faces caused me to have a marked fear reaction *and then SOMEONE pushed me into a water-trough :P* (see http://www.wrongplanet.net/posts48570-start30.html). How do other people react to faces?

I fear that everyone I see that I don't recognize is going to harm me.

Faces are like clowns to me, clowns with their painted on expressions; when people smile at me, I must force myself not to laugh at them, the same for any emotion people exhibit to me. It's far more pronounced in people I don't know, which is pretty much everyone. I don't look into the eyes of people, so I don't know there.

The pictures mean nothing to me; they're unreadable faces.

They all seem very desperate to me.

They are.

They are hunting, they will kill other hunters, or prey they cannot have..

Evil shows, their goal is to catch prey, play with it in their claws, make it go out and support them for long enough to raise their cubs.

They will spend twenty years torturing their prey, driving him to a heart attack at 43, having spawned, sent forth their cubs to hunt on their own, they will self indulge on the life insurance.

They look like people putting on faces for the sake of a photograph.

Most of them are probably trying their hardest to look alluring.

1 and 3-6 look a little predatory.

I asked my mother, and she says that they look unhappy and/or unfriendly to her, but not predatory.

I think that a predatory face needs to have eyes very close together!! !! !
And close together is a matter of opinion!! !! By example a person who is Asian or Inuit might find these faces very predatory??? As you well know being an Intelligent person that he modelling industry is never an example of the real world.
Cheers Chris :)

Top one looks like your average celebrity bimbo.

Rest of them look predatory/unfriendly/lonely.

Some of them do--- but I would think there should be some male faces up there, too. I get the feelings that men only look at the body and it's like the wolf in the nursery rhymes.

yep, agree with lots of people; more desperate, unhappy, or unfriendly than actively predatory, cos predatory can look quite nice ! ! Also slightly ridiculous and silly cos so artificial!
Also that look like false faces in almost all of them, put on for photo, except the last one maybe.
And that i would not pick any of them for my collection of faces ( cut out and filed) , as i like to be able to make up a story, see some semblance of a real persons life in a face. Imagine things about them. These are almost all repugnant in sense of shut and pushing away.
To me a dangerous face is one i feel drawn towards. That i love to look at, am absorbed into. Fascinated by.

I only posted womens faces because, in general, men's faces don't look predatory to me. I could find some men's faces, but if I put them in this, the poll results would be skewed because of the people who've voted but only seen women's faces. Maybe if I put them in another thread...

Wow. Only recently have I begun to consider this a possibility, and you've summed it up pretty well.

The last one looks like a Terminator in disguise.
Everyone else looks like their eyes got shoop'd bigger.
