- Psychologically, women are less attracted to men who have a pot belly. A large amount of abdominal fat on an individual indicates that they have lower levels of testosterone, which means that they also have lower sex drive and low fertility.
- Men are more attracted to women who possess a bone structure that resembles that of their mothers. This is known as “sexual imprinting”; which is a term coined by researchers.
- Most women are attracted to men who possess a strong sense of humor. Generally, a strong sense of humor is associated with intelligence and honesty.
- Holding hands with someone you love, can help to alleviate physical pain as well as any feelings of anxiety, stress and fear.
- Happiness is contagious. It’s hard for people to walk away from someone who is happy, or to not love someone who is happy simply because they are so enjoyable to be around.
- Psychologically, women think that men become more attractive if they see other women smiling at them.
- People are most likely to break up once they have hit the three to five month period in their relationships.
- Men who possess deeper voices are more likely to appear attractive or make an impression on women than men who possess higher voices.
- According to some psychologists, human beings are not capable of being “just friends” with members of the opposite sex.
- The act of falling in love is known to have a calming effect on a person’s body and mind. This, in turn, will raise levels of nerve growth for about a year.
- Apparently, it will only take up to 4 minutes to decide whether you like someone or not. As such, if you want to make a good impression on someone, you have only got around 4 minutes to do so. Getting and keeping someone’s attention and attraction is believed to have more to do with body language and tone and speed of your voice rather than things that you actually say.
- When two people who love each other look into each other’s eyes, then their heart rates synchronize with each other. Studies have shown that couples who are in love are so bonded that after three minutes of looking into each other’s eyes, their heart rates will synch up with each other.
- Falling in love is known to release the same neurological effects as cocaine. Both falling in love and taking a dose of cocaine will give your brain similar feelings and sensation of euphoria. Falling in love produces several euphoria-inducing chemicals in your body that will stimulate about 12 areas of an individual’s brain.
- Cuddling is known to release natural painkillers. When two people embrace or cuddle, their brains release oxytocin, which is a cuddle hormone. Oxytocin appears in a person’s brain, and their ovaries and testicles are also involved in this bonding process. Oxytocin helps to decrease headaches and can help pain go away for up to 4 hours. So if you are feeling tired, stressed, or in pain – cuddling is a great alternative to any painkillers.
- Simply looking at a picture of a person you love can help relieve pain. It has been shown that the presence of a loved one can help a sick person or patient’s improvement, but so can a picture.
- Individuals who appear similar and at the same level of attractiveness are more likely to end up together than people who look significantly different.
