Today we will learn about 15 psychological facts about attraction. Now, let's get started.

1. Threshold of attractiveness

Has anyone ever asked you, "What's your type?" You may like a certain look right now, but your type changes depending on your marital status. When you're single, your threshold for romantic attraction is low and wide. You are attractive to a wide range of people because you are not sure what type of person will make you happy. When you're in a relationship, your preferences change. Your threshold for attraction becomes much higher; you already have a partner, so you don't find the same people attractive. Of course, you still find other people attractive. Those preferences never go away, even in long-term relationships. You may be completely happy with your partner, but you may still be attracted to other people.

2. Control of attraction

Some people are born with attractive traits, but here's a psychological fact about attractiveness that most people don't know: your most attractive traits are completely within your control. You cannot change your height or face shape; you are bound to those things for life. But you can influence your health, your maintenance and your wardrobe. Just think about the physical traits that attractive people have in common. Attractive faces come in all shapes and sizes, and each of these faces looks different and unique, yet we still find them attractive. Why is that so? It is not because of their innate physical characteristics; but because of traits they can control, like style and fitness. If you think you're unattractive, don't say, "I just wasn't born that way," because your appearance is under your control.

3. Emotional connection

Have you ever watched couples behave? You might have thought, "Wow, they have great chemistry." Chemistry is one of the biggest mysteries in romantic relationships. How do you create chemistry with another person? Is it magic, or is there a reason why some people have chemistry and some don't? To build chemistry, you have to build connection. Connection is a complex social relationship based on deeper knowledge and mutual understanding. You may have heard this term in a business context, but it's even more important in a relationship. So the next time you're around a power couple, pay attention to the way they talk to each other. They almost have several conversations going on at the same time, one on the surface and one below the surface. When you have great chemistry, only you and your partner can communicate in a way that only the two of you understand. But how do you build chemistry? It's easier than you think. The best way to build chemistry is through conversation. Be yourself, joke around, get to know each other on a deeper level because that's where chemistry comes from.

4. Facial similarity

What kind of people are you attracted to? You may be attracted to people who share many of your own traits. Your style is a good example; maybe you're looking for partners with a similar sense of fashion. So if you like to dress casually, chances are your partner does too. We see the same pattern with physical traits, such as hair color. It's not uncommon for romantic couples to look alike. But why do we fall in love with people who look like us? Because you look at yourself every day; think how many times you have looked at your face in the mirror. Your traits are the traits you are used to; your attractiveness is how you judge the attractiveness of others. So don't be surprised if you and your partner have some things in common.

5. The honor of smiling

How often do you smile? A study by the American Psychological Association found that women are perceived as more attractive when they smile often. Characteristics such as positivity and confidence are associated with happy facial expressions, such as a genuine smile. So it's no surprise that men find women more desirable when they smile. Ah, but the opposite is true for men. Women perceive men as more attractive when they smile sparingly. Many women prefer dark personality types, similar to reserved characters in movies and books. But you shouldn't change your facial expressions to be more attractive; that's not the point here. The bottom line is this: facial expression sends powerful messages about your attitude and your personality. Smiling or frowning, it says a lot about who you really are.

6. Hairline

Is facial hair attractive or unattractive? On average, bearded men were rated as more attractive than clean-shaven men. But there is a limit to how long your beard should be. Men with longer, fuller beards were also considered less attractive than men with beards. So don't be afraid to let your facial hair grow; just make sure you keep it short and clean.

7. Brave Communication

Many men and women make themselves unavailable; they act like they don't care; they pretend to be relaxed and carefree. But their indifference alienates their partners. The most attractive people send the opposite message; they use a bold and confident body. They send clear messages and express their wants, needs and feelings. These people are not afraid to communicate their interest, and this communication makes them even more attractive.

8. Hidden Sense

Physical attraction involves all five senses. We are attracted to the way someone looks; we are attracted to the sound of someone's voice, and we are also attracted to the way someone smells. A scent can be so powerful that you are overwhelmed with desire for the other person. A partner's unique scent, for example, can trigger a wide range of emotions, from comfort to attraction. So, to make yourself more attractive, pay attention to how you smell. Create a unique fragrance for yourself because your scent can be one of your most attractive features.

9. Influential Media

How do you decide who is attractive and who is not? Our standards are heavily influenced by the media we are constantly exposed to - models, actors and other celebrities whose looks define modern romance. When we look at strangers, we subconsciously gauge their attraction to the people we adore. But we approach partners a little differently; you may think someone is attractive based on popular traits, but you're more likely to choose a partner who is uniquely attractive to you.

10. Transgression of Beauty

Is there a beauty bias in our culture? Unfortunately, attractive people have more opportunities than less attractive people. On average, they were perceived as more intelligent, more confident and more successful. They are more likely to get job offers, earn more money and make a good first impression. Why do attractive people have an advantage? Well, because most of us have a soft spot for people we find attractive. When you encounter someone you find attractive, you automatically make certain assumptions about them; you want to love them, and you want them to love you. So is there a beauty bias in today's world? Absolutely.

11. Attractive Popularity

Sometimes your physical attractiveness has nothing to do with you. Let's say a guy is sitting next to his girlfriend because he caught the attention of a woman; it is more likely to attract the attention of others. The attention you get is one way we measure attractiveness. If you are constantly showered with attention, others will subconsciously find you attractive; if you are constantly being ignored, then you may be experiencing the opposite.

12. Tone changes

When you flirt with someone you like, your voice actually changes. This comes from a 2010 study in the Journal of Non-Verbal Behavior. Researchers have found that men and women speak in a lower register when they find someone attractive. But that's not all; men and women are also more likely to be attracted to someone's voice if they are physically attracted to them. In other words, your voice and vocal preferences affect the people you love and the people who love you.

13. Attractive Colors

Are some colors more attractive than others? Well, the most attractive color is also the symbolic color of love. On average, women wearing red were rated as more attractive than women wearing any other color. But why is red more attractive than a color like blue? Well, red communicates powerful subtle messages that affect your attraction to another person. It's a bold, bold color that we naturally associate with romance, attraction and love. So how can you give your physical appearance an instant boost? Simply incorporate more red into your wardrobe.

14. Musical Atmosphere

Music can have a psychological effect on your attractiveness and your attractiveness. By listening to the right music, you can experience a person in a completely different way. Music creates atmospheres, and atmosphere sets the tone for every interaction. This effect was carefully studied in a 2014 study in the journal Psychology of Music. The researchers analyzed the romantic attraction of conversational partners with and without music. It turns out that adding music significantly increases their physical and emotional bonds. In other words, include some music, even if it's not a perfect song. The presence of background music can make you a more attractive choice.

15. Known attraction

Familiarity is one of the most powerful drivers of attraction. The more familiar someone seems, the closer you get to them. Now, you won't be attracted to everyone you feel close to; however, it is very likely that the person you fall in love with will be intimately involved in your life. For example, you may be attracted to someone who works at your favorite restaurant. You see that person often, so it seems more familiar to you. You got to know her better, and over time, your attraction grew stronger. Even if that person isn't attractive to the rest of the world, their familiarity makes them attractive to you.
