Attraction Is Created in the Brain, Not in the Heart.

You find yourself dancing with your friends at the club. Across the other side, you see her. Her silhouettes distract you. She has long brown hair. She becomes the only focus, and time disappears. Your heart starts to beat faster. Finally, you tell yourself: that’s it. She is the one.

We often associate attraction in the following way:

Attraction= Heart

The correct association:

Attraction= Brain

But your heart beating faster results from the chemical explosion occurring in your brain, your body filling itself with norepinephrine, dopamine, and oxytocin.

When a person takes your heart, and you immediately want to undress them and practice passionate and wild sex, it comes down to the evaluation that occurs via your five senses.

Visual sense: You wanted babies all along

Reproductive fitness is the purpose when evaluating if someone is attractive or not. We are looking for the most suitable person with excellent genes so we can create beautiful babies.

Our primary assessment of attraction comes to 3 characteristics:

Youth

Fertility

Good health

If someone has a checkmark in all of these 3, the person passes by an attractive person. For example, someone who has: long, strong hair, good skin, or a physically fit body.

Smell sense: The secret that boosts your attractiveness

The perfume industry is worth 3.2 billion dollars. Fragrances are sold to us as a way to increase our attractiveness, but what plays a significant role in our attraction are pheromones. We segregate pheromones through our bodies. These chemicals create a social response in those around us, such as arousal. Therefore, we need chemical substances such as pheromones to attract others.

Sound sense: Sexy voices

According to Psychologist Marta Pascual, the process of seduction can occur through the voice by the way you express your words. For example, women prefer a man with a deep voice because it indicates a high testosterone level which translates to higher status and dominance. Still, men prefer women with a high-pitched voice because it is associated with a skinny body and youth.

Touch sense: The decisive factor

So you found someone who you consider attractive. Eye exchanges happen. You start talking, and the conversation goes smoothly. The person is staring at your mouth and yours at them. Finally, you become brave enough to go for the kiss. At these moments, two things can happen: the kiss sucks. Your mouth is not matching, or they have an awful smell breath, theirs. Suddenly, you lose the attraction for the person in a blink of an eye. The second thing is that: the kiss feels impressive. The kiss is the door for future dates, maybe sex, or even a relationship.

Feeling attracted to another human being is one of the most fun and exciting experiences: the flirting, the unknowing of what will happen next, the seductive process. Yet, so many natural processes we experience as human species remain unknown. Digging deep into these topics can help us understand ourselves more.
