Despite the fact that our tastes differ, scientists from various fields have discovered what characteristics draw us to other people. These eight things should make people gravitate towards you like a magnet.
8 things that attract the opposite sex. Do you know which one?
Facial expressions
The facial expressions that are attractive to men and women are different. Women prefer men who are serious and they hold themselves somewhat proudly, and men like to look behind a woman with a big smile.
Active body language
The researchers found that it is active body language more attractive than passive.
Smell
Although we usually rely on sight to judge attractiveness, smell is far more important. Women are said to be surprisingly attracted to the smell of garlic, men and the smell of popcorn or home-baked pastries.
Similarity to parent of the opposite sex
What Freud advocated was also confirmed by British scientists. We are attracted to a partner's resemblance to our parent of the opposite sex. Women are most attracted to men who have the same eye color as their father. Men are most attracted to women who have the same eye color as their mothers.
Hair
They are mostly attracted to men women with long hair, while for women, hair is not as important in the perception of attractiveness.
Pets
There are researchers in Israel found out, that women rate men with dogs more attractive than those who do not own these faithful four-legged friends. A possible explanation for this association is that owning a pet indicates a willingness to make a serious commitment.
Similarity in attraction
Researchers have found that we try to choose a partner who is similarly attractive, like ourselves. Of course, it's hard to determine how attractive someone is.
Altruism
It is altruistic behavior attractive for both sexes. This may be explained by the fact that we expect an altruistic partner to take good care of his offspring.
