Keep scrolling for seven things that make women more attractive to men, according to science. Thin, waify body types might be the runway standard for now , but researchers from New Zealand found that men prefer a larger waist-to-hips ratio over a smaller ratio.
Blondes may have more fun, but are they seen as more attractive? Yet another excuse to join the nomakeupselfie movement? Having long arms might be more attractive to guys anyway, according to this study. Tell us your thoughts below. Hendrie CA, Brewer G. Evidence to suggest that teeth act as human ornament displays signalling mate quality. Nevertheless, a study from the year prior discovered a "strong contemporary association between high heels and female sexuality.
After viewing videos of women walking in both heels and flat shoes, the participants in the study rated the heel-wearing women as "significantly more attractive. There are plenty of reasons to read. Most people may not crack open a book solely to keep an open mind or live longer than those who don't read , but both are side effects of the hobby. Surprisingly, books can even influence attractiveness. A study by EliteSingles found that 85 percent of single people considered others who are well-read to be "more appealing.
As part of another survey conducted by EliteSingles in partnership with Westwing , an "interior design firm," 26 percent of men and women named a "well-stocked bookshelf" as the most attractive item to come across in a date's home. When it comes to genres, many men found erotica-readers attractive — surprise, surprise — but Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird was also listed as one of the top five attractive books to own.
But, why is reading so attractive? Books lead to discussions, psychologist Salama Marine told the site. She continued, "Also, your taste in books can highlight aspects of your personality — are you curious, romantic, dreamy?
By sharing your tastes you can show and share your inner world. It's no secret that many women love sundresses. It's not just women and designers who love the look, though. Many heterosexual men are drawn to women wearing sundresses.
Glamour surveyed a few men who are on board with the trend to figure out just what it is about these dresses that make the women wearing them so attractive. Other men praised the summer attire for being everything from "classy" to "figure-flattering" to "feminine.
There's another reason men find sundresses — and pretty much anything without sleeves — so attractive. And it has nothing to do with how "feminine" or "classy" your outfit may or may not be.
According to science, men are all about arms. No, that's not a typo. Although we've long stereotyped guys as being "leg men," they've secretly been eyeing up our guns.
In one comprehensive study conducted in , "taller women who had longer arms were strongly preferred. A later study conducted by the University of Missouri at Kansas City found that "toned and thin" women were considered more attractive than "thin only" women, as reported by The Independent.
When speaking to The Independent , the study's lead author, Frances Bozsik, explained, "There is a shift in the thin ideal female figure to one that now includes the appearance of physical fitness via muscularity. There is more to attractiveness than meets the eye. It may sound a little out there, but our sense of smell seems to have a lot to do with how we assess attractiveness. Citing their own study and prior studies, the researchers revealed that human noses have the ability to assess things like fertility, health, diet, age, and personality.
Our noses can even recognize family members through their body odor, which, the researchers speculated, "may be important in mate choice in order to avoid inbreeding. Our noses are pretty freaking amazing. Although you might think all of this research means you should rely on your natural scent, that's not necessarily the case. Perhaps one of the best attractiveness hacks is perfume.
Well, one kind of perfume. Avery Gilbert, a sensory psychologist, told Women's Health , "Luscious, fruity notes are disarming but attractive. Despite what is often said, seeing red is actually a good thing. Not only do women fancy men in red clothing , but men, too, are more attracted to women who wear the bold color. Well, young women who wear red, that is. A study conducted by researchers in Germany found that young women were perceived as "more sexually attractive" when seated against a red background than one that was white.
However, the background color didn't influence attractiveness one way or the other for older women. Interestingly, the study pointed out that "men are not aware of this red effect. The reasoning behind this phenomenon is not yet known. Sarah E. Sure enough, the man was rated significantly more attractive when he was wearing a red shirt. The results were similar when researchers compared the red shirt to other color shirts as well.
Interestingly, participants generally weren't aware that the man's clothing color was influencing their perceptions of his attractiveness. Multiple studies indicate that women are more attracted to men who can make them laugh. Interestingly, men generally aren't more attracted to women who can make them laugh. In one study published in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior, researchers asked undergraduate students who didn't indicate their sexual orientation to say how much they valued a partner's ability to make them laugh and their own ability to make their partner laugh.
Results showed that women valued both their partner's sense of humor and their own ability to make their partner laugh; men valued only their own ability to make their partner laugh. In a experiment from the Ruppin Academic Center in Israel and the University of Michigan, Israeli women read vignettes about men. Some of the men were described as "cads": They would cheat on their partner and get into fights.
The other men were described as stereotypical "dads": They would work hard at their job and take good care of their kids. Whenever the story featured a cad who owned a dog, women rated that man as a more suitable long-term partner than a cad who didn't own a dog.
Cads with dogs were even rated slightly more attractive than dads with dogs. The researchers concluded that owning a pet signals that you're nurturing and capable of making long-term commitments. It can also help you appear more relaxed, approachable, and happy. In a study , researchers at the University of Sussex asked about 1, women whose average age was 28 to listen to simple and complex pieces of music and rate the attractiveness of the composer.
The results showed that women preferred the more complex music, and said they would choose the composer of the more complex music as a long-term partner.
In , Australian researchers studied undergrads participating in a speed-dating session, and found that mindful men tended to receive higher attractiveness ratings from women.
Before the session began, 91 students were asked to fill out a mindfulness questionnaire in which they indicated how much they agreed with statements like:.
After each interaction with an opposite-sex partner, students privately indicated how "sexy" they found their partner and how much they'd like to date that person. Results showed that men were generally more drawn to physically attractive women.
Independent coders had rated the students' attractiveness beforehand. But women were generally more attracted to mindful men. A study led by researchers at the University of Alaska at Anchorage found that women are attracted to men who take what the researchers call "hunter-gatherer risks. More than undergrads filled out questionnaires about how attractive they would find a partner who engaged in certain risky behaviors, as opposed to a partner who engaged in low- or no-risk behaviors.
Hunter-gatherer risks included mountain biking, deep-sea scuba diving, and extreme rollerblading. Low- and no-risk behaviors included biking along paved paths and carefully handling chemicals in a chemistry-lab class.
Results showed that women said they would be more attracted to men who engaged in hunter-gatherer risks — the kinds that were similar to risks faced by ancestral humans. Women said they would be less attracted to men who engaged in modern risks, which might seem just plain dumb.
Simply knowing that you're wearing a new fragrance can make you act more confident , and even make you seem more attractive to other people. In a small study published in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science, researchers gave one group of male undergraduates a spray with antimicrobial ingredients and fragrance oil, and provided another group with an unscented spray that didn't contain antimicrobial ingredients. Over the next few days, the men who used the scented spray reported higher self-confidence and felt more attractive.
The strange part? When a group of women were shown silent videos of the men, they found those who were wearing scented spray more attractive, even though they obviously couldn't smell them. The researchers determined that the men using the scented spray displayed more confident behavior, which in turn made them more attractive. The smell of garlic on your breath is generally regarded as an instant romance killer.
But a series of studies from researchers at Charles University and the National Institute of Mental Health in the Czech Republic and the University of Stirling in the United Kingdom suggests a different story when it comes to body odor.
In one study, eight men ate a slice of bread with cheese and 12 grams of fresh garlic; another eight ate bread and cheese without any garlic. For the next 12 hours, the men wore cotton pads under their armpits and were instructed not to use any deodorants or fragrances. The following day, all the men returned to the lab, where 40 women sniffed the pads and rated the odor on pleasantness, attractiveness, masculinity, and intensity. Results showed that the garlic group was rated more pleasant and attractive and less masculine and intense.
A study from UK researchers found that women find men more appealing when they do volunteer work. About 30 women looked at a picture of a man with a brief description of his hobbies, which sometimes included volunteer work. The same procedure was repeated with about 30 men looking at a picture of a woman.
