Beautiful breasts, expressive features, luxurious hair, long legs - it is believed that this is what attracts men. However, there are other parameters that affect the opposite sex on a subconscious level.

The fashion and beauty industry has been working for many years to help women appear younger, sexier and more attractive. Heels lengthen legs, bras make breasts bigger, make-up completely changes the face, creams delay the appearance of wrinkles, writes Frank McEndrew, a professor of psychology at Knox College, Illinois, for Psychologies.ru.

It is no secret that society places higher demands on women in terms of physical beauty than on men. Do not blame either times or customs for this - this approach is based on the genetic level. Since prehistoric times, human males are more attracted to females capable of giving birth to healthy offspring.

Beautiful hair, a face without wrinkles, high breasts just show that a woman is young, healthy and capable of childbearing. However, there are less obvious signs of female beauty that men pick up at the subconscious level.

Vote

More than 40 years ago, social psychologists discovered that men can fairly accurately assess a woman's physical attractiveness by talking to her on the phone when no visual cues are available. In one of the many experiments, the participants were first asked to rate the appearance of girls from photographs, and then separately set a score for the voices they heard. As a result, the estimates coincided!

Scientists have put forward several theories to explain this phenomenon. One of them argued that attractive women simply have more experience with the opposite sex, respectively, their communication skills are better and they know how to choose the right intonation or even change the timbre, making it more sexual.

Another theory claims that a higher female voice in the majority of the stronger sex is associated with a fragile young girl. And youth, as evolutionary psychology explains, is more attractive to men.

Limbal ring

We all heard the saying: “The eyes are the mirror of the soul.” Indeed, large expressive eyes literally hypnotize others. Studies show that light proteins without redness and bright shiny iris are associated by respondents with good health. In addition, according to experts, owners of slightly dilated pupils seem more interesting for the opposite sex.

And men subconsciously pay attention to the limbal ring - a dark line around the iris. In young girls it is wide and black. But after years of 25, it starts to grow dim and taper. By the way, lenses that visually change the color of the limbal ring, thereby "rejuvenating" their owner, are very popular in Asia.

Lumbar bend

The structure of the lumbar spine is directly related to a woman's ability to bear offspring. If the back of women was as flat as that of men, then the load during pregnancy would be much more difficult to bear. As a result, in the process of evolution, the structure of the female spine has changed, and the center of gravity has shifted slightly.

In other words, at the evolutionary level, this feature indicates that a woman is able to bear and have many children. That is why men are so attracted to women in tight-fitting shirts, opening the lower back, or dresses with a bare back.

Waist to hip ratio

Research by evolutionary psychologist Deva Singh has shown that waist-to-hip proportions play a critical role for men in assessing female attractiveness. Scientists have found that the ideal waist-to-hip ratio is 0,7. It is this proportion that is again optimal for childbirth.

In adolescent girls, this ratio is about 0,9. However, during puberty, when women become capable of reproduction, the ratio of waist to hips begins to shift towards that same ideal proportion. But with age it begins to change again.
