Beyond fashions to follow or endless hours in front of the mirror cultivating perfection, many of the keys to being attractive have more to do with certain evolutionary aspects of our species and therefore timeless.

There are traits of our attractiveness that, according to science, are signals to know if a woman can be suitable for having offspring and, as a result, ends up being interesting for sex opposite.

10 ways to be more attractive (according to science)

Find out what details become relevant when it comes to arousing interest in a man.

1. Red color: for lips and for dressing

In the psychology of color, red symbolizes and expresses passion, love, power, sexuality. And all of them are components of the idea of ​​attractiveness that we have about a person. There we have a good reason to wear red in our clothes and accessories, but also on our lips.

A study by the University of Manchester made it clear that when a man and a woman maintained a conversation there was a big difference between the time that he put his attention on the lips of her; when wearing them in the natural, the average time was 1 second, while when wearing them painted with carmine, the seconds lasted up to almost 7 in some cases.

2. Long hair

A long, strong and shiny mane Not only is it something we want for ourselves, it is also one of the traits that men directly associate with being attractive to them.

From an evolutionary point of view, it is understood that a woman with strong and healthy hair speaks for herself of her optimal state of health, and since they procreate and guarantee good genetics, this trait is reason enough to be attractive to sex opposite.

3. Sharp curve between waist and hip

Many women insist on maintaining a weight level so low that their feminine forms disappear, making their silhouette childish and believing that they are more attractive to the opposite sex. They couldn't be more wrong; although "for tastes, colors", the truth is that well-placed curves make women attractive.

And if we want to be specific, it seems that the relationship between a narrow waist combined with wide hips creates one of the most sensual and feminine silhouettes that exist.

4. Tattoos

Although the origin of this evidence seems a stereotype, the reality is that men tend to find tattooed women attractive.

The reason is that, in general, they are supposed to be more sexually active as well as more promiscuous, and under that assumption they perceive as more likely to get to have sex with them than with those who do not have any tattoos.

The study was published by Nicolas Gueguen, and was conducted by observing on the beach the behavior of some men when they found two women lying down reading a book. While 10% of men approached the non-tattooed one, 24% of them did so towards the one with tattooed skin. Ah! And the latter, too, approached much faster.

5. Being in full ovulation

When women are in the middle days of our menstrual cycle, just when we are ovulating, certain physical variations in us, subtle enough but noticeable enough to be positively perceived and appreciated by a observer.

For example, facial features are slightly altered for a more feminine appearance still, and something that also varies during those days is our body odor. As invaluable as it may seem to us, men detect it, albeit unconsciously, and it affects their usual way of approaching.

6. Show empathy

No haughtiness and gestures of disdain. If what you want is to be attractive to a man in terms of your way of relating, keep in mind that what captivates him is a woman who is close, able to connect with their way of thinking and feeling.

7. Smile (and make your teeth look healthy)

A pretty smile is one of the best business cards when you meet someone of the opposite sex, and that goes for both men and women.

The key to successful smiling attractiveness is well-aligned, well-groomed white teeth. Nothing better than to frame teeth like this with a gesture that expresses “the joy of receiving you”, a natural smile without forcing.

8. Acute voice

Voice timbre is another of those traits that unconsciously influences the way the opposite sex perceives us, and in this case, they prefer them with a high-pitched and somewhat boyish tone.

The reason is that men awaken a natural instinct to protect us by associating it, not only with youth, but also with a small body.

9. Posture (well studied) of the head

It seems that a fact that modeling and photography professionals have exploited is the study of the perfect angle to be attractive.

A study published in 2010 by the University of Newcastle showed that this position that allows us all to be perceived as more attractive to the opposite sex consists of slightly tilt your head to the side and slightly lift the chin up.

10. Whisper in the right ear

The way to stimulate the part of the brain that handles the most pleasant sensations and the verbal information (the left hemisphere), is through the auditory canal of the right side.

For that reason, if what you want is to awaken good vibrations and a pleasant state of connection with someone you want to be attractive to, you just have to speak in his ear, but yes, it better be the right.
