Men are always branded as "lustful" by women. Is it true that men are all naturally lustful? Psychological experiments have shown that the image of a beautiful woman can easily activate the pleasure center of the male brain, making them excited, but plain looking women cannot do this. The standard of female beauty was formed during the long process of human evolution, and most of it is closely related to fertility. The male brain considers women who meet these criteria to be "beautiful.". The following will explain the aesthetic and eroticism of men:
1. Men pay more attention to women's waist to hip ratio
Influenced by fashion trends, most girls nowadays are keen on losing weight, pursuing "no thinnest, only thinner". However, is "Thin Bone Fairy" really more charming? In an experiment, psychologists asked a group of male and female subjects to view nine photos of women ranging from extremely thin to extremely fat, and asked them to choose their ideal female image. As a result, most women choose to portray themselves as thin women, while men choose not to be fat or thin. From this result, if it is to win the favor of men, girls really do not have to be too difficult for themselves.
In fact, compared to being fat and thin, men pay more attention to the "waist to hip ratio" of women. Evolutionary psychologists have found through many experiments that women with a waist to hip ratio of less than 0.7 best meet the criteria for a man's graceful figure. While a lower waist to hip ratio is a guide for women's health and fertility, women with a higher waist to hip ratio are more likely to develop various diseases and are more difficult to conceive. In this sense, men believe that women with low waist to hip ratios are more beautiful, and they also focus on "genetic benefits.".
2. The 2-month-old boy can already gaze at the "beauty"
This is an experiment to make many people feel disappointed about people. Evolutionary psychologists have found a large number of images that are available to both men and women. They divide the images into four groups based on their sexual attractiveness: "charming women", "ordinary women", "charming men", and "ordinary men"; Then, they recruited a group of men (the subjects) who underwent brain MRI scans while looking at the pictures. The results showed that when watching attractive women, the area of the nucleus accumbens in their brain became very active, and the area of the nucleus accumbens had long been proven to be the pleasure center of the brain. So in life, when a man sees a beautiful woman, his eyes glow, and the control of the nucleus accumbens is by no means a "floating cloud.". Moreover, when a man is a baby, his preference for beautiful women has been formed. In an experiment with male babies, psychologists first asked adult men to rank some images of women according to their sexual attractiveness, and then presented them to the boys. The experimental results show that even boys aged 2-3 months can gaze at images of "attractive women" for longer, especially boys aged 6-8 months. This experimental result proves to some extent that there is a strong genetic mechanism for men's psychological preference for beautiful women.
3. Strong fertility is the primitive psychological instinct
Are there any secrets of human evolution hidden in men's innate love for beautiful women? Scientists have found that a female face recognized as a "beauty" by the vast majority of men must meet at least several conditions: large eyes, thin chin, plump lips, symmetrical face, and smooth and clean skin. Male brains generally favor young women, and the "popular face" composed of female faces aged 14 to 20 years is considered the most beautiful. From a physiological perspective, this is the period when women have the strongest reproductive ability. The standard of beauty is not based on nothing, but rather the psychological tendencies evolved by ancient men through natural selection from generation to generation. These tendencies help them select more fertile women, have children with them, and transmit genes. This psychological mechanism has become a primitive psychological instinct. Therefore, it is not so much beauty that activates the pleasure center of the brain in men as it is in more fertile women.
4. Instincts weaken after exposure
Evolutionary psychologists emphasize that saying that a psychological tendency is evolved does not mean that it is immutable. This is like saying that a person has a certain pathogenic gene, which does not necessarily mean that he will become ill. On the contrary, when he knows that he has this gene, he can increase his vigilance and take more preventive measures, thereby living a longer life. Similarly, when a man learns that "loving a beautiful woman" is a primitive psychology, and encounters the temptation of a beautiful woman, his brain excitability increases sharply, he can gain a bit of sober power, thereby better controlling his own behavior. The primitive psychological instinct is like a magic spell. When you don't know it, it will control you unconsciously. Once you expose it to the sun, its magic power will be greatly weakened.
For girls, knowing the deep-seated reasons why men naturally love beautiful women, when their partners can't help looking at beautiful women on the street in the future, they don't have to face them like enemies. Sometimes, women's appropriate tolerance and understanding, coupled with a bit of humor and humor, is the only way to alleviate the original motivation of men's hearts.
