Beauty isn't only in the eye of the beholder; researchers found that we found attractive some face traits or body
proportions becouse they reflect the own of good genes, reproductive capacity or fitness.
people appreciate some
aspects aesthetic beauty.
As humans, we are known to be drawn to individuals that are close to us in looks.
There are two classes of attractiveness: either you are drawn to the physically attractive
or the individuals personality. When one person is physically attracted to another,
then there is an increase desire to have interactions. People who are physically attractive
are known to have a higher confidence level due to the fact people tend to treat them better.
People with higher confidence levels increase their attraction helping to draw other individuals
attention. Many studies have stated that men are more overwhelmed by the physical attractiveness
of women, while women are know to comment more on the males personality.
However, this difference causes men and women to view themselves differently. |
