It is a question older than the time that has occupied, concerns and will concern everyone at some point in their lives.
The subject of discussion in men and women alike, everyone would like to know what is what pulls the man like a magnet on the female body. Or is it not even the female body?
The internet is full of such lists and tips nowadays, usually the product of the imagination of their authors. Favourite lifestyle theme of older decades, it comes and goes in the foreground, as its seduction seems timeless.
But what do people say about it? Men, in this case. Are there no statistics and surveys here so that everyone does not invoke whatever comes to mind?
Of course there are and we are here to bring them to the fore. After all, if the man himself does not know about his tastes, then obviously he does not know anyone.
The man is also very fond of visual culture and can observe a woman for hours. Or more. Simultaneously. Without detaching.
At the same time, women dedicate sufficient amounts of time to grooming and it would certainly be helpful to know where to weigh. So where does the man's eye fall?
Yes, yes, in the eyes…
In a 2013 study by the Murine eye drops company on a sample of 1.000 men, the first thing they said they care about a woman is her eyes! They certainly look at the chest the first time they see it, but not before admiring the eyes and the smile. That's what they said, that's what we tell you.
And in order not to link the result of the study (the eyes) with the fact that Murine sells eye products, the study was prepared by the independent statistical company One Poll. So 70% of men said eyes, with the trio completing a smile and chest. In that order, yes. Then come the hair and the weight and further back the legs, the dress, the buttocks, the height and the skin.
"The results of the research show that the stereotypical man who has eyes only for one point seems to disappear and be succeeded by a more good-natured, modern man," a Murine spokeswoman commented meaningfully.
That the breasts and buttocks would recede so much into men's consciences was not expected, let alone that things get even more complicated. A similar statistic of the British dating company Match, which has brought together over 1,6 million couples and knows well enough to say about them, found in its own internal research that the No. 1 thing men pay attention to women is… hair.
"Men do not just look at a shiny and shiny hair and then pay attention to other things. They fool their hair and then continue to fool them. "Long hair in good condition is extremely sexy, as are short hair with modern haircuts", the subversive tells us to say research.
That gentlemen take care of their ladies first told us as early as 2011 and Pantene, which did its own research here and found that 74% of men do not just look at the hair first (44%), but take care of the woman because of her hair!
A good 82% claimed that hair is a key element of a woman's sex appeal, while 60% of men surveyed said they would rather date a woman with beautiful hair than a woman with large breasts. In the same survey, men stated that they look first at a woman's clothes (26%) rather than her legs (25%). And a 4% confessed that the first thing they pay attention to is makeup. “Surprised? We definitely are, "said Pantene.
Returning to the study of Match, which was done on a huge sample of 35.000 men, the eyes were ranked here in second place (after the hair de!). The seduction of the eyes is also scientifically explained and psychology has proven it repeatedly. American psychology professor Arthur Arun, for example, who has been studying love and its manifestations for years, did an experiment where he divided two groups into couples and made half of them have a "hot" conversation with erotologists and the other half look at each other silently. in the eyes for 4 minutes.
So he found that the couples looking into each other's eyes felt closer after the end of the four minutes. One of these couples even got married!
What did Match tell us that men care third? The shoes! Let's say it again: Men pay attention third, after hair and eyes, the Shoes of a woman. "When we asked them what they pay attention to first, some men were impressively willing to mention the importance of nice shoes. Especially, and predictably, the high heels ".
Then follows the smile, which was talked about by 88% of men, which is even emphasized by an impressive. Lipstick. An academic study from the University of Manchester, which recorded the ocular movements of the subjects, spoke about the impact of the lipstick on the female smile and especially the red shades.
The first 10 seconds that a man looks at a woman for the first time, the study tells us, will spend half a year paying attention only to her mouth. If she wears lipstick, this time increases: pink lipstick keeps the eye glued for 6,7 seconds and red for 7,3 seconds.
Concluding with Match research, the dating site tells us that a woman's body ranks fifth in male attention. In its own research, the British magazine "Women's Health" found the eyes again in an overwhelming percentage.
"Men's Health", on the other hand, asked 6.500 friends at Twitter and things seemed to return to… normalcy: 38% her face, 34% her buttocks, 18% her chest and 10% her legs. In other words, a good 62% spoke about "traditional" values.
Men may have a reputation for being non-observant, at least in research this does not seem to be confirmed. Males care for and neglect the female sex, just not in the one-piece way that popular wisdom wanted.
And we explain: one of the most popular statistics on men's preferences regarding women emerged, not surprisingly, from social media. Some 4.300 men commented on relevant discussion on Reddit for what they secretly observe in a woman and someone, with a lot of time obviously in his hands, did the math.
Of course, we are not just talking about extremely observant men, but about guys who pay attention to things that even women would not imagine! The "Independent" entered the game at the end, which turned the answers into a list, as the conversation provided juice to get to the details of the internet.
So what do these men pay attention to a woman when they have comfort (that is, when she looks elsewhere): 1) body language, 2) if she looks at other men, 3) hair, 4) shoulders (!), 5) her communication skills, 6) the smile, 7) the smell.
Another giant study of 20.000 men to find the answer to the burning question (from Chemistry.com and Glo.Com) brought even more turmoil to the subject. "Sexual chemistry" was the first thing men noticed about a woman, followed by χαμόγελο, kindness, sense of humor, body type, eyes, intelligence, communication skills, teeth / lips and a dozen close, without impression anymore, hair.
Obviously, there is no research to confirm this "chest, buttocks", "chest, hips", "chest, buttocks". Why are men just ashamed to say it when asked or why was it a stereotype that no longer exists today?
As good as the statistics are to tell us what men really think, even better here is academic research. The No. 1 trait that men look for in a woman on their first date is, according to the University of Texas, the goodness!
This is what David M. Buss found in "The Evolution of Human Mating," as kindness is associated with "a cooperative disposition, an interest in long-term relationships, an ability to forge social bonds, and an enthusiasm for raising children."
But the silhouette does not go back and when we say silhouette, we mean μπ curves! This is what men look for in women, the Newcastle University Institute of Neuroscience tells us. The body-hourglass looking, type Marilyn and Sophia Loren. An independent study of eye's movements showed here that men begin to evaluate the female figure (actually looking for this "juicy" body type) in the first… 200 milliseconds! Who said that appearance does not matter?
A positive attitude in life, joy and optimism on the part of a woman also greatly influence not only how the man will perceive her in terms of appearance, but also what he will look at in the end. In a 2010 experiment, men were shown photos of women with different body types and some were given information about their personalities.
What did they find?; How men found those women with positive personality traits more attractive, greatly increasing the range of their external preferences. At the same time, in women who had positive characteristics, what men observed about them changed. Without obviously realizing it themselves.
Another academic study clearly showed that honesty is so important that men found "more attractive, healthier and fitter" women who thought they were honest. Yes, honesty is sexy.
There is research in everything (such as the one published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology) that shows that men have a predisposition to be attracted to women who wear red. Ή που have ecological consciousness!
Whatever you want, natural attraction is a difficult and awkward thing and the monolithic answers obviously do not fit in our modern years…
