Part 1 What Makes You Sexy - BBC Explorations

Which physical features light the flames of passion when we see a stranger across a crowded room? And why do women's faces subtly change over the course of every month?

What makes you sexy and attractive to the opposite sex?

Everyday, attraction starts the same way for millions of people around the world with a glance.

But which physical features light the flames of passion when we see a stranger across a crowded room? The signs of beauty turn out to be the same the world over and were biologically programmed to spot them. And its all because beauty is the bait we use to attract a mate.

Surprisingly, the very first impression we make on other people often has nothing to do with our faces or our figures. Its the way we move.

Good movers are sexy because they come across as fit, healthy and co-ordinated. And that means theyre likely to have good genes. Just what you want in a partner with whom you might start a family.

When it comes to beautiful faces we reveal that symmetry is the key. To prove this theory leading experts at the University of St Andrew's in Scotland analyse the faces of two models, Hannah and Jason.

Incredibly, experiments at the University of Newcastle in England have found women's faces become more symmetrical and attractive to men when they're ovulating.

Its a bombshell revealing that, like many animals, human females can become more desirable to males when they're ready to conceive.

And a woman's monthly cycle has another trick to play. It can change her taste in men. While ovulating she may find more masculine looking partners attractive, possibly because their features are associated with strong genes.

What about the future of beauty? As we make huge advances in genetic engineering and cosmetic surgery were gaining the power to completely transform the way we look.

More and more people may use this knowledge to push the rules of attraction to extremes. Fantasy will become reality - some women could even end up looking like Lara Croft

Whatever happens in the future, the best way to make a big first impression will remain the same: just smile.

This is basically just telling us guys to get a six pack of abs or fuck of back to the basement. LOL

when you want to get into a woman's pants, nothing beats good looks...muscles help, but good looks are essential, while muscles are only a plus if you have good looks. Man I'm so sick of people saying charisma or kindness or blah blah blah helps, it doesn't, I know from experience. the evidence is all around us. and I also hate when people say god made everyone good beautiful...no he didn't. but through the genetic engineering revolution of this century hum

for women to be attracted to guys the most important thing is how good looking the guys are

for men to be attracted to women the main thing is how easy the women are

@RowanTolley02 no you dumbass nig. over exagerated confidence and money are what ugly ass niggs like you need to even touch a fuking dumb girl that even falls to your bullshit trash words. where did you get all that confidence from just fucking die

[UncertainAngel]

@blassonkem women tend to go on that at first glance i will admit BUT a woman with half a brain and heart (and a brusied heart at that) can look beyong the 'excitement' of a handsome man and love the intelligence, wit, heart and friendship of a good less attractive man. And once in love all are beautiful to the beholder.

@blassonkem ha ha ha! so true

@TNoSuchCoupleParadox yea i noticed this also. the younger nurses, they want high dollar people like doctors and thats all they go for. The older nurses, the ones that have tried or been there and done that kinda thing, they are lookin for the younger studs, they can care less about the doctors. it also has alot to do with what is going on their personal life. R they just not getting any? R they out for revenge on a cheater? or maybe for money? u have to catch on what they want and run with it

[TNoSuchCoupleParadox]

@AK47powpow Agreed. The “provider” theory does not bear out. What about the love choices of all those rich actresses and singers? Did they also fall for the cash? But plain physical attractiveness also does not explain much. The No Such Couple Paradox proves it – there is not a single celebrity couple in the whole world as defined in my ebook, although in accordance with all predominant theories there are no rational reasons that could explain such phenomenon.
