ATTRACTION
IN THE LABPROF IHAB YOUNIS
It is the woman who chooses the man who will choose her
Paul Géraldy (1885-1983)
• Women prefer more masculine-faced men (arrow) around ovulation
• Women prefer feminine-faced men when judging the attractiveness of men’s faces for a long term relationships
Conway CA et al, Br J Psychol, 2010
Attractive female faces:
• The vertical distance between the eyes and the mouth was approximately 36 % of the face's length
• The horizontal distance between the eyes was approximately 46 % of the face's width
Pallett P, et al., Vision Research, 2009
• Women prefer males with broad shoulders and average waist-to-hip ratio 0.9, which forms a “V” shape
Dijkstra P & Buunk A, Evol Hum Behav, 2001
• In women a
waist-to-hip ratio
of 0.7 is the
most physically
attractive Braun MF& Bryan A, J Soc
Person Relation,2006
• In USA Women rate men with no body hair as most attractive, and that attractiveness ratings decline as hair increases
Dixson BJ, et al, Arch Sex Behav , 2010
• The same authors
found that moderate
amounts of trunk hair
on men was most
attractive, to the sample
of British and Sri Lankan women Dixson BJ, et al, Am J Hum Biol, 2007
• Men have been found to prefer long-haired women
Buss D, The handbook of evolutionary psychology , 2005
• Women are more
attracted to men with a
darker complexion as
they seem virile and
brooding
Baumann S, Poetics, 2008
• women often prefer
men taller than they
are, rather than a
man with above
average height
Sear R& Marlowe FW , Biol. Lett. 5 (5): 606–9, 2009
• Most men prefer
shorter women &
tend to view taller
women as less
attractive
Scar, R., Human Nature Winter, 2006
“It is the end, I’ve grown &
you have not”
• Men are more attracted to fairer-skinned women as they appear innocent and pure
Baumann S, Poetics, 2008
• Pheromones are chemicals secreted by an animal that influence the behavior or development of other members of the same species. Queen bees, for example, give off a pheromone that prevents other females in the hive from becoming sexually mature
• Women provided samples of natural body odor just before ovulation and on a low-fertility cycle day
• Men preferred the scent of odors collected just prior to ovulation
Gildersleeve KA et al, Hormones behav, 2011
• Exposure to male perspiration pheromones can
brighten women's
moods, reduce
tension and
increase
relaxation, and
also has a direct effect on the release of LH
Preti et al, Biol reprod, 2003
• Men were rated more attractive when assessed by women who had been
exposed to androstadienone by applying either placebo or androstadienone in sufficient quantities
to saturate the area of skin
between
mouth&
nose

• Similarity (like-attracts-like) Individuals who share similar level of
attractiveness are likely to form long term relationships
Folkes VS, Person Soc Psychol Bullt, 1982
• Exposure effect
The more we are exposed to something, the more we come to like it
Miller R, et al, Intimate Relationships , 2006
• Complimentary

attractiveness to
each other
Nowicki S & Manheim S, J Res Persona, 1991
• Social and cultural background
People prefer their romantic partners to be similar in certain demographic characteristics, including
religious background,
political orientation
& socio-economic
status Buss D. M.&Barnes M, J Person
Soc Psychol, 1986
Comedy
• A woman is attracted to a man who makes her laugh
• A man likes a woman who laughs at his jokes
Bressler E, Ph D thesis, Psychology&
Neuroscience Dept,McMaster univ.,2005
• These preferences may be a consequence of ancestral humans who selected partners based on general
indicators of fitness
which allowed for
greater reproductive
success as a result
of higher fertility in
those partners Little, A. C et al , Behav Ecol Sociobiol, 2006
• The “Golden Ratio” is the ratio of the larger segment, AB, of line AC to the smaller segment BC of the line AC
• It was used by ancient Egyptians
&Greeks and many artists• Attractive faces may have
dimensions that follow the “Golden Ratio”
Fett B, TMME, 2006

• In short-term relations, women prefer more masculine faces at peak fertility of the menstrual cycle to enhance her offspring's quality
• But for marriage, preference is for feminine faces.
Men with masculine faces have higher circulating testosterone levels which are linked to aggressiveness and lower levels of attachment in relationships
Little AC & Jones BC,
Psychoneuroendocrinology,2011
• People in the ideal hip-ratio range, regardless of weight, are less susceptible to disease such as cardiovascular disorders
Vaidya D, et al, Int J Obes (Lond), 2012
• Women in this range also have less difficulty conceiving http://www.livescience.com/7023-rules-attraction-game-love.html
Men may prefer women with larger breast because these women with tend to have higher levels of estradiol and progesterone, which both promote fertility
Jasienska G et al, Proc. R. Soc. Lond. B , 2004
• Male body odor(produced by androstenone) is usually perceived as unattractive and unpleasant by women
• This evaluation changes during ovulation and androstenone becomes less aversive
Kohl JV et al, Neuroendocrinol Let, 2001
• During ovulation there is an increase in T levels of human males, ie, somehow, the female was signaling the male that she had ovulated, and that he responded
• Increased T may lead to increased intercourse
Morris NM, et al, Arch Sex Behav, 1987
• Women and men were typed for their HLA-A, -B and –DR
• Women were asked to
rate the odors of T-shirts
worn by the men for 3 days• Women scored male body
odors as more pleasant
when these men had a
different MHC than when
they were more similar
• This difference in
odor assessment
was reversed when
the women rating
the odors were
taking oral
contraceptives
• This suggests that
the MHC or linked
genes influence human mate choice Wedekind C, Proc. R. Sac. Land. B , 1995
