Smell
You probably will not believe it, but the desire is embedded in our genes. So scientists consider. You look at the other person and subconsciously decide whether you want to transfer his genes to your future children. Incredible? But this was first suggested and proved by Devendre Singh, professor of psychology at the University of Texas. So if you chose someone to be your partner, then you subconsciously decided that his genes will make it possible to produce healthy children.
But how does all this happen? According to scientists, we literally sniff out genetic codes from our potential satellites. It has long been known that pheromones can cause violent sexual reactions in animals. But until recently it was believed that people lost this ability. Then in 1985, a study was carried out by placing sensors in the human nostrils. The sensors connected directly to the part of the brain responsible for emotions, such as joy, sadness, etc. The study showed that women prefer the pheromones of men with immune systems similar to their own. Moreover, the choice was made very quickly, people were not previously acquainted, they did not even see each other. The result shocked scientists. It turns out that we make choices unconsciously, based on invisible signals, as most animals do. Pheromones are a personal code of each of us. And now they have learned to recreate! Everyone can just buy special perfumes containing these substances, and add to yourself an attraction! However, at the same time you violate your personal "secret code". A partner, genetically designed specifically for you, may never find you.
Figure
Along with pheromones, the body shape is another factor that we are guided by when choosing a partner. Again, subconsciously. Form and symmetry include the basics of fitness and genetic health rights. So if there is an asymmetry in your face or elsewhere on your body, then this is the key to possible genetic problems. This means that crooked legs are not just curved legs, but a sign that your genes can be slightly broken. Sorry, but this is the opinion of scientists. A recent study showed that men prefer symmetrical female faces. Women with symmetrical body parameters had more sexual partners, and they had an active sex life from an earlier age. It has also been shown that men prefer women with a waist-to-hip ratio of 0.7. You can calculate your ratio by dividing the waist by the volume of your hips. This figure is supposedly associated with the subconscious, while your weight is absolutely not important. This is good news for those who are trying to lose weight. The main thing - the proportions.
Other selection criteria.
Scientists have found that people tend to choose their partners in those who remind them of themselves. A computer program has been developed that can change faces. This helped to find out what makes some of them more attractive than others. Several subjects were offered to make changes in photographs of people of the opposite sex. That is, to create an ideal, by their standards, person. It turned out that people "drove" the portraits under him. The features of the persons of "ideals" became similar to their own. It's amazing! People always put into their fantasies about the person of the opposite sex a version about themselves - even if they do not recognize it. Scientists also suggest that we find our faces subconsciously attractive, because they remind us of our parents, whose faces we saw constantly in childhood.
Does this mean that when we meet a person we should always remember science? Of course no. Just need to understand that everything in life is not accidental, everything is due to something. Knowing these secrets of beauty and sexuality, we can influence our life. Even sometimes use additional means to attract a partner and manipulate him. After all, bright feelings, unforgettable emotions make our life full of meaning. And then it does not matter, chemistry is all or not.
