Gentle and considerate, sexy and beautiful, hardworking and able to manage a family... Many women speculate that men have various expectations for the woman they love, such as body shape, appearance, ability, family background, personality, and so on. But in fact, the conditions for men to fall in love with women are much simpler than we imagine ourselves.
Compared to women's perception of men, men's demands on women are much more "externalized" and "extensive". However, the research of evolutionary biologist Randy Tejosir of the University of New Mexico in the past 15 years tells us that the female image that men are most interested in is not as necessary as we thought before. In fact, "body symmetry" is enough. The following are the six main reasons why men like women found in scientific research. Let's take a look at the factors we already have that make people like them.
1. Symmetry of the body
That is, the left half of the body should be identical to the right half, and the limbs should be symmetrical. Randy Tehosier has been engaged in symmetry research for the past 15 years. He scanned the faces and bodies of different people into a computer to determine the symmetry ratio. The survey results show that both men and women believe that the opposite sex with good body symmetry is more attractive. Tehosier explained that this is a genetic advantage that indicates a person's good survival ability, while also indicating that their body is very healthy. In contrast, men observe women in slightly different ways, placing more emphasis on facial symmetry than on the body.
2. Sexy chin
Research also shows that people within the ideal waist hip ratio are not prone to cardiovascular, cancer, diabetes and other diseases, regardless of their weight. Moreover, women within this range will encounter fewer difficulties during pregnancy.
Women with short chin and men with thick eyebrows are most favored. Tehosier stated that men and women with these characteristics are more attractive because they indicate reproductive health. Estrogen limits the bone growth of women's lower face and chin, making them relatively short and small. At the same time, this hormone also controls the growth of women's eyebrows, making them more prominent. Men are influenced by testosterone, which helps to form a good lower face, chin, and thick eyebrows.
3. Ratio of waist to hip
Psychologist Devindra Singer from the University of Texas in the United States conducted a study on the ratio of waist to hip circumference and found that the ratio was 0. Women with a waist that is much thinner than their hips are the most captivating to men. Scientists have analyzed the body shapes of models in a certain magazine and contestants from Miss America, and found that most of these women have zero body size. A waist to hip ratio of less than 7. For women, the ratio of waist to hip circumference is 0. 8 to 1. Men between 0 are the most attractive, and their wide shoulders are also more likely to stimulate women's sexual desire.
4. Body odor
German scientists such as Manfred Milinsky have found that people instinctively use their noses when choosing a partner, judging whether the other person is suitable for them based on their scent. Scientists explain that the function of relying on olfactory assistance to identify a loved one is related to the immune system of the human body. When people approach each other, the odor emitted by their bodies will be perceived by each other and whether it will cause discomfort to the tissues and organs in the body. Generally speaking, this identification of the other party's body odor will not be affected by the external smell, that is, although the proper use of perfume may help to enhance the other party's goodwill, it will not play a decisive role.
5. Honesty
It is interesting that scientists have scanned the brains of people who have just fallen in love, and the results show that the quality of the top ranked lover is actually honesty. Stephen Emren and colleagues from Cornell University in the United States conducted a questionnaire survey on nearly a thousand young people aged 18-24. The results showed that volunteers were particularly concerned about the honesty of their potential partners, with appearance, family responsibility, wealth, and status being the second most important characteristics after honesty.
6. Sense of humor
Researchers have found that once a lover completes a long-distance love run, personality similarities can make their relationship stronger. In addition, a sense of humor can also help maintain a long-term relationship between both parties. We can also understand that love and coexistence require joy to sustain. Eric Bressler from McMaster University in Canada stated that the importance of humor varies between men and women, with women preferring men who often make them laugh, while men prefer women who are amused by their own jokes.
