Have you ever wondered how best to find the ideal man for you? There seem to be a few scientific insights that can help you with this.
Introduction
You are also exposed to programmed preferences. Because you have developed a preference for men with certain characteristics through evolution, you are most likely to produce healthy and powerful offspring. So you think you are having a nice date without obligation, but in your subconscious you are constantly assessing whether this man has the right genes and character traits to be a good father to your children.
The size and shape of the eyes
We humans simply find big eyes attractive. Our brains get the urge to cuddle and cherish babies (our own and someone else’s). It is important for the survival of our species that the relatively defenseless children are well cared for. We take good care of these little people because we find their round shapes and big eyes attractive. This can also be found in cuddly toys such as a plush bear. Its round shapes and big eyes encourage us to cuddle this toy. Men with big eyes are found particularly attractive by ladies.
A good, wide jawline
When you look for a male partner, your brain is programmed in such a way that you look for someone where the male hormone level is balanced. You can tell by a wide, angular jaw. We also find it attractive if your date or panther-to-be has broad shoulders. These are all indications that there is sufficient and correct testosterone present. To have children, it is important that your partner produces enough of this male hormone. In addition, in prehistoric times it was important that a partner could protect us against external enemies. These could be members of an enemy tribe or wild beasts. If a man has broad shoulders, this is usually an indication that he can protect you from outside dangers. Then not only you are safe, but also your children.
A uniform face
People who have a face that has the same dimensions on the left and right are considered the most attractive. This is called a symmetrical face. Just look at the photo models: they usually also have even features. Why do we find a symmetrical face (and a symmetrical body) so important? Symmetry of a body is generally an indication of someone’s health. Someone who has a beautiful mirror-like face is well developed during pregnancy. Someone who has the same measurements on the left and right is blessed with a good package of genes. With the help of genes, the characteristics of parents are inherited from children. In your subconscious you scan your partner for favorable genes. This then ensures that the human species has a greater chance of survival.
Smell nice
It appears that your offspring have a greater chance of survival if the father has an immune system that matches yours. The children are then more resistant to diseases. You can smell whether your future partner has the right gene set again. Suitable candidates spread an irresistible scent for you. So don’t hesitate to use your nose well. You collect crucial information here.
