The Science of Sexy: Proven Ways to Skyrocket your Attractiveness
With these, nothing can go wrong on the first date
Do you have a date soon and want to show yourself at your best?
Well, then you’ve found the right article. But let’s be honest: even if there is no date coming up, don’t we all want to be attractive?
There are numerous scientific studies on this topic that tell us how we can appear more attractive.
If you read this article carefully to the end, you will have some methods up your sleeve to make your attraction skyrocket. Tip number 4 is my favorite. I have already had some good experiences with it.
1. Beauty does not only lie in the eye of the beholder. Also in their nose and ears.
It is not only our appearance that decides how attractive we appear to the opposite sex. Our voice and our smell are just as important. This was discovered by researchers from the University of Wroclaw in Poland in 2017 during a study.
Women find men with deeper voices more attractive. Probably because this is a sign of manliness and a high testosterone level. For women, high voices are the most attractive, as this signals youthfulness and a fairly small body.
According to this study, the smell is also very decisive in determining whether we find a person attractive.
Advice: Pay attention to your voice the next time you flirt. I have already observed it with myself: often we unconsciously disguise our voice. And of course, make sure you smell good.
2. Body language is crucial
Our body language can make an incredible difference. Subconsciously, we judge people based on their body language. An open body language is inviting, shows self-confidence, and is therefore attractive. Crossing your arms when flirting is therefore not a good idea. This study proves that so-called nonverbal cues, such as body language, are important.
Make sure you have open body language on your next date. This is more important than you think.
3. Wear red
A 2010 study has shown that both men and women who wear something red are rated as more attractive.
Think about wearing something red on your next date. Maybe it will help.
4. A little adrenaline works wonders
Excitement and fear promote falling in love. If that’s not reason enough to think of an alternative to a boring dinner date…
The Bridge Experiment
The American psychologists Donald Dutton and Art Aron came to this conclusion as early as 1974. The results of their study, known as the Bridge Experiment, were published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
The experiment was conducted on two pedestrian bridges over Capilano Canyon in North Vancouver. The researchers had men walk across two different bridges, with a pretty young woman standing in the middle of each, who was part of the research team. However, the bridges were very different: one was a 1.50m narrow suspension bridge about 70m above boulders that swayed in a storm. The other bridge was wider, more stable, and at a lower height above the river.
On the bridge, the men were given the woman’s telephone number.
The Result
The men who met the woman on the more dangerous bridge found her more attractive and called her more often.
This result can be explained as follows:
Since adrenaline is closely related to the “love hormones” dopamine and norepinephrine, threatening situations put us in a more emotionally receptive state and we fall in love more easily.
Maybe you want to take advantage of this phenomenon and initiate an exciting date.
Summary:
There are some things you can consider to become more attractive. If you consider the following things, you will be on a very good way to do so.
- Pay attention to your voice and your smell.
- Your body language should be open.
- Consider wearing red.
- Go on an exciting date. Adrenaline sparks attraction.
