Do you remember the pillow post? The trand that couse havoc on social media the trand that many man follow it like nothing.
With this in mind, we did a little research and found seven very interesting studies about what traits are supposedly “most attractive” to men (because science studies this a lot). Curious? Bored? Want a laugh? Keep scrolling for seven things that make women more attractive to men, according to science.
Bright, Pearly Whites
According to this study, flashing your pearly whites can affect how attractive you are to the guy you’ve been daydreaming about.1 Researchers found yellower, more uneven teeth were perceived as less attractive. But don’t go binge-scheduling teeth-whitening sessions just yet; the study also found that brilliantly white smiles were judged as no more attractive than naturally white smiles.
Red Lipstick
This study from the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology finds a direct correlation between the color red and males’ attraction to females.2 The best part? According to the study, “Men seem unaware of this red effect”—so by all means, apply your MAC Lipstick in Ruby Woo ($17) with abandon.
Larger Hips-to-Waist Ratio
Thin, waify body types might be the runway standard (for now), but researchers from New Zealand found that men prefer a larger waist-to-hips ratio over a smaller ratio.3
Higher Voice
This study found that men preferred female voices that are higher in pitch and “breathy.”4 But for the sake of your girlfriends, just don’t take that as an invitation to bring your baby voice to the public space.
Brunette Beauty
Blondes may have more fun, but are they seen as more attractive? Some studies have found that brunettes are rate “more favorably” than blondes by male subjects.5
Less Makeup
Yet another excuse to join the #nomakeupselfie movement? Subjects in this study from the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology were shown photos of female faces wearing varying levels of makeup and asked to choose which look they found the most attractive and which look they’d guess the opposite sex would find the most attractive.6 Both men and women agreed on the same amount of makeup they found attractive, but women actually thought men preferred way more makeup than they actually did.
Longer Arms
Don’t have Gisele’s mile-long gams? Having long arms might be more attractive to guys anyway, according to this study.7
