It’s Science: Proven Physical Traits that Women Can’t Resist

When you’re playing the dating game, sometimes you have to stack the odds. You might not be able to do a whole lot to boost your earnings right now, or star in a romantic comedy, but you may be able to make a few changes to be what women find physically attractive in a man. There are a certain number of physical traits that scientists have suggested women look for in a man, which is information you can use to improve your dating wellness.

Firstly, if you’ve got more body hair than Chewbacca, get rid of it! According to a New Zealand and California study, when women were shown shown photographs of men with varying amounts of body hair, the men with the least amount of body fuzz were given the highest ratings. The was a correlation between decreasing level of attractiveness, and increasing amount of chest and abdominal hair, so shaving the day before a big date may make all the difference.

Women may be looking for their Mr Darcy, but only for a bit of short-term fun. This is according to a study which asked women to rank photographs of men in terms of carnal sexual attraction – rather than for long term relationship potential – and men who looked broody or proud were deemed to be more appealing than smiling men. If you’re looking for a fling or a one-night stand, start working on that sexy frown.

However, if you’re looking for something a little more long-term, then polish off those pearly whites and give ‘em a big old smile. According to evolutionary psychologists, a warmer, more inviting male face suggests that you are more likely to stick around for the long haul. Make her realise how lovely your handsome smile is going to look in your wedding photos! While you’re working on your groom appeal, stand up straight. Women tend to look for men with superior posture, as straightening your spine makes you seem taller, more confident, more dominant and more open to being approached.

Finally, make your jaw appear as chiselled as possible. High testosterone levels are responsible for the appearance of masculine facial traits at puberty, and scientists surmise that this feature also gives men a strong immune system, making you a good catch from a genetic perspective. Women in the most fertile phase of their cycle appear to prefer men with chiselled jawlines, so use facial hair to make yours look more prominent. A beard that covers your chin area will add volume to a smaller face, and make it seem more manly.
