What matters is the age of your parents when they conceived you that you are attracted to other people, or do you prefer younger ones? Scientists from the University of St. Andrews have discovered that if your parents got you after the age of 30, you are more attracted to people whose faces look older and you are not too impressed by young people.
It is best to have a symmetrical face
You are probably not aware, but we regularly assess the symmetry of someone's face. However, a symmetrical face is considered a sign of beauty around the world. Symmetry sends the message that this person has good genes for the health of the future child.
"If you choose a perfectly symmetrical partner and have offspring with him, your children will have a better chance of having symmetrical facial features, which will allow them to cope more easily with all the obstacles and a better chance of survival," says evolutionary biologist Randy Thornhill.
It is better to be average
This does not mean appearance, but a mathematical average. People with mathematically average facial features have a colorful set of genes and better reproductive health.
The look of your parents affects the look you look for in a partner
Psychologists have discovered that people like to be with partners who have the same hair and eye color as their parents of the opposite sex.
There is a "golden ratio" of faces
Have you ever wondered about the existence of a magic formula for beauty? According to a study conducted in 2010, the faces of the respondents were most attractive when the eyes, nose, and ears were placed according to certain relationships. Ideally, you want the distance between your eyes and mouth to be 36 percent of the total length of your entire face, and the distance between your eyes should be 46 percent of the width of your face.
The color of your t-shirt can be important
In a study by the University of Rochester, researchers found that women who wore red clothing were more attractive and sexually desirable compared to women who wore blue. In another study, women saw men in red as more powerful and of higher social status - a desirable attribute when looking at men's attractiveness.
The nose knows
When they smelled a men's T-shirt soaked in sweat, women preferred the scent of men with higher testosterone levels, at least when they were at the very peak of fertility.
And while animals have specialized organs for detecting pheromones, it is not yet completely clear whether pheromones directly affect sexual attraction in humans.
Your voice can betray you
A study conducted in the UK found that women speak in a higher tone when they are in the presence of a man they find attractive.
Many studies have shown that men are more attracted to women who speak in a higher tone, which is associated with increased estrogen levels, while women prefer men with a deeper tone of voice, which is associated with higher testosterone levels.
