What makes a person "sexy"? Each of us has our own idea and the list can be long, we will find any number of qualities that ignite a spark in us - everything from a well-shaped body to a sense of humor.
While we believe that our desires are a personal choice, the fact is that many of our sexual desires stem from biological needs. And the greatest need is, to reproduce. Whether we like it or not, our body is fighting to preserve the human race. Everything from body shape to facial features gives us an insight into whether certain people would be potentially good partners. The most attractive features of a woman are large breasts, a narrow waist and femininity - all of which represent youth and fertility. A tall, chiseled man is the fantasy of many women, as he represents a man full of testosterone who can provide healthy children and protect them. Don't believe it? Read it ten scientifically proven ways or tricks that make us more "sexy" - both women and men.
1. Let's take care of white teeth.
None of us look forward to a visit to the doctor. But unfortunately, it is a necessary evil that we have to endure for the sake of our health. Yellow and unhealthy teeth are definitely not a desirable feature when looking for a partner. Beautiful, white teeth that are evenly spaced give the message that we are in good health and that we have good genes. Scientists believe that teeth also subconsciously give clues about our age, how close women are to menopause, about childhood diseases, diet and other genetic issues that a person does not want to pass on to their offspring.
2. Let's eat more vegetables and fruits.
Fruits and vegetables provide the necessary nutritional properties for survival. In addition, our skin looks much more attractive. Scientists studied the effects of fruits and vegetables on skin tone for six weeks and found that the more vegetables and fruits were added to the system, the better the skin became. Scientists believe that carotenoids - pigments that improve skin tone - contribute to this, which is why foods such as carrots, sweet potatoes, apricots, spinach and kale are the right foods to give our skin a beautiful, rosy glow.
3. Men, shave your beard, but never shave it off completely.
Beards are all the rage right now. And just because something is hip doesn't mean it's attractive. The study proved that women prefer a calm appearance, a well-groomed beard. An untidy beard can send the signal that you are aggressive or even five years older, while a perfectly shaved beard can send the signal that you are not enough. A well-groomed beard shows that you are mature enough. Make sure you trim and maintain it every time.
4. Ladies, don't forget the lipstick.
We women have been wearing lipstick for centuries. Scientists have proven that lipstick on the lips pays off. In one study, they proved that a man stared at a woman's lips longer than at any other part of the face, and when she wore lipstick, the focus on the lips increased by as much as seven seconds. Pink lipstick did not elicit the same response as red lipstick, but both had an effect on attractiveness. Men prefer full lips, and with lipstick, the volume of the lips optically increases by 40 percent. One of the reasons for this could be the aroused male genital organ, which turns a little more pink/red when swollen, and the lips mimic this function in many ways. Lipstick sends men much more "dirty" signals - unconsciously, of course - than you might expect.
5. Let's think about the tone of our voice.
When we are in a conversation with someone, we tend to focus on what we are saying, but we never think about how our voice sounds. And perhaps not the most surprising finding is that our tone of voice affects our attractiveness, and it is apparently related to body size, or at least body size as we perceive it. Women with high-pitched voices are supposed to be more attractive because, at least in men's minds, they are supposed to have a smaller body. The opposite is true for men. Women prefer deeper voices because they create an image of a strong man in their minds. The most attractive voices of men are supposed to have a bit of "breath" in them, which should indicate a lower level of aggression.

6. Fertility is sexy.
When men notice a sexy girl in a bar, they probably don't think that they want a child with her. At least not right away. But biologically, our brains can deceive us. Of course, it's impossible to explain and we probably don't even know what's going on, but the fact is that men see women as the most attractive during her most fertile days of the month. Scientists believe it's a combination of factors—everything from vocal to facial changes along with pheromones.
7. It's time for a red bravo.
We have already mentioned that red lipstick affects our sexual attractiveness. In fact, you go much further. Even if we don't think we look good in red, it might be time to think again. The red color is known to further enhance attractiveness. And this doesn't just apply to ladies, it works for both sexes. Men who wear red were rated as having a high social status and chances of success, but at the same time this did not affect likeability, pleasantness and other positive qualities. Women in red appear more sexually open than women in other colors - red is the color of sex. And it's no surprise that men find a woman more attractive when they see her as more sexually open.
8. Let's use our charms.
When we enter a room and we want to be "sexy", what do we do? Women will rock their hips - this is a gesture that we usually don't even realize is at the same time very intentional. Men will "show off". A wide stance and an open chest will give the impression that a man is tall and strong. Believe it or not, these tricks really work. In both cases, signals are being sent that we are young and healthy (in other words, more fertile).
9. Men, give up various body sprays.
Thanks to relentless marketing, men constantly think that layers of fragrance will make them more attractive to the opposite sex. But it does the opposite. A few drops of fragrance will be enough to achieve the desired effect. And regardless of all the products and their promises, it is one's own smell that attracts partners the most. And it is men's pheremones that ultimately make a woman fall head over heels in love with them.
10. Don't give in to conquest so easily - unless you're a woman.
Oh, double standards, But science has found that a man who pretends he's not that easy to win will attract more attention from women. Reason? A man who immediately surrenders to a woman's charms will appear vulnerable and less dominant. If a woman uses the same tactics, she will be far less successful. Men are attracted to women who are kind and attentive, as this makes them more feminine.
