It’s not about the breasts: scientists have discovered which women attract men

Contrary to popular belief, Love is more like a psychology magazine than a novel about a blonde girl kidnapped by a handsome pirate. And here’s what science says about what really drives men crazy.

We suspected for a long time why Angelina Jolie and Scarlett Johansson were among the most beautiful women in the world, and we were right! A study from the University of Manchester showed that lips make a lasting impression on men: the average guy looks at a girl’s mouth more than half the time on a date. So if you want to impress, just use red lipstick.

It would be strange if, looking at the lips, he did not notice what is immediately behind them. Nothing unexpected – researchers from the universities of Leeds and Central Lancashire have found that men love healthy white teeth and subconsciously read a tan as a sign of age and disease. By the way, an interesting nuance is that men consider white teeth and dazzling veneers equally attractive – the latter will not give you any additional advantage.

Do you know what makes red lips even more attractive? Smile!

Maybe even too attractive: Studies show that men like smiling girls because men read those facial expressions as interest. So we advise you to thank couriers and plumbers nicely, but keep your face bricked, otherwise the guys will decide that you fell in love with them.

And when you say “thank you,” try humming it, like it’s coming out of a barrel. Leave the soprano for dates – according to a study by specialists from University College London, men prefer high tones. Scientists suggest that high-pitched voices signal a small body size, which is now considered attractive. (And we can’t stop thinking about gel balloons, what if they were every guy’s secret fetish?)

By the way, not only red lipstick works, but also clothes of the same color. In 2008, two scientists, Andrew Elliot and Daniela Niesta, showed a photo of the same woman to different men. In some photos, the girl wore a red blouse, in others – blue. It turned out that in the first case, men are much more likely to consider a woman attractive and are even willing to spend more money on her.
