Have you ever wonderedwhyyoulovethe person you love?
For one, both men and women arereallyinto hand gestures.
Spoiler alert: women, as a rule, have vastlydifferent tastes than men.
Here are some of the most surprising traits females find attractive.
Their appeal can certainly not be contested.
But, is theRebel Without a Causepersona really what women want?
Kindness is a turn-on according to 67 percent of the women who participated in the surveys.
“Because kindness inspires confidence,“Men’s Healthexplained.
So fellas, if you’re reading this, just be kind.
The Department of Psychology at Oklahoma State University published some interesting findings after performing astudy about “mate poaching.
This phenomenon is often called the “wedding ring effect.”
And you know how we feel about kindness.
A study byZoosk(viaNew York Post), echoed this sentiment with stats.
Meatheads be damned, women are more into a squishy middle than tree trunk limbs.
In fact, 78 percent of women felt men with some additional pounds were confident in their own skin.
Just about half of the women surveyed felt that dad bods are the “new six-pack.”
That’s all well and good, but let’s draw the line at dad jeans, okay ladies?
Now imagine, if you will, being in a committed relationship and living with that person?Yikes.
Athree-part studyconducted in 2016 examined how a person’s storytelling ability influences attractiveness.
The reason for these results might be found in the third study.
That might explain why participants in the first two studies had the reactions they did.
Earning potential
Size matters.
Well, as far as it relates to a man’s nest egg.
Before you get to thinking that that’s some sort of lewd euphemism, we’ll explain.
There’s no doubt about it: a man’s earning potential is something many women find attractive.
Humor still reigns supreme
Finding a partner who can make you laugh is undoubtedly significant to many.
Nope, it’s still very much an attractive quality.
Bad eyesight is… irresistible?
Being called a nerd is as good as a compliment nerdom has securelycemented itself into mainstream.
It’s even an aesthetic and, some could argue, a culture.
Astudy conducted in 2011experimented with full-rim and rimless glasses and their effects on perception.
It was discovered that rimless glasses increased perceived trustworthiness and did not cause a decrease in attractiveness.
A study published in theJournal of Evolutionary Psychologyfound that dog ownership increases male attractiveness.
Dog ownership is also an inherently dominant act and that dominance in men may be attractive.
Dog ownership may even demonstrate a man’s empathy and the ability to enter into an emotional commitment.
Who knew man’s best friend would also be such a great wing man?
Men who weren’t very attractive were also considered more desirable partners when they displayed altruistic characteristics.
And if we’re being honest, shouldn’t it, really?
Yeah, science can be a bit cringey at times.
Astudy in 2013called and proved BS, but did find women do have a preference for facial hair.
It just doesn’t make a difference whether we’re ovulating or not.
Men with a little bit of stubble and those who were clean-shaven were viewed as the least attractive groups.
Men with full beards and men with a decent amount of stubble were neck-and-neck for most attractive.
These men were also thought to represent “healthiness.”
Also, the more facial hair a man had, the more masculine he was considered.
It seems like No-Shave November may just have to extend into the rest of the year.
