We all know it’s unacceptable to smell bad on a date…or is it!? Various studies have shown that both men and women are more attracted to the opposite sex when their clothes haven’t been washed. Have you ever come back from the gym, about to hit the shower, and your girlfriend says “Don’t” with a come-hither look? That’s because we’re attracted to each other’s natural pheromones. However, NPR showed this was only true for men who ate the “right kind of food”, which sadly was not pasta, but fruits and vegetables.
So many men think forgetting to shave is a bad thing. (Or not because they’re growing out their beard to wizard length.) However, study after study has showed us that women actually want stubble above all else. Research by Psychology Today revealed that women are most attracted to heavy stubble. So if you want panties to drop, drop the razor.
Manspreading can be incredibly frustrating to those around you. No one wants your legs all up in their space or a clear view of your crotch. However, studies by evolutionary scientists showed that women subconsciously do! Postures with open arms and legs like manspreading show openness and dominance. Researchers at Berkeley used a Tinder-style dating app to test the theory. The profiles in which men were manspreading their legs farther than Chicago to China, did significantly better than those with more closed-off postures.
You might think blushing is only done by 1950’s damsels in distress, but men do it too. However, it’s nothing to be embarrassed about! According to BBC, blushing is one of few reactions that humans can’t fake. Therefore, when someone is blushing they’re often seen as more honest. Blushers also seem less likely to cheat, whether it be emotionally, financially, or with their slutty neighbor Becka.
Your bad habits like smoking may be exactly what a girl is looking for. According to the familiarity principle, we’re attracted to what we know even if it’s bad for us. So, if a girl’s father is a smoker or alcoholic, instead of avoiding that like the plague, it’s what she’s subconsciously attracted to. You’re likely terrified you’ll marry someone just like your mother, but I’m here to tell you stop worrying. Just let it happen.
We’re conditioned to think that farts are gross. That’s because they are. They may not necessarily be a turn on, but farting really can bring couples closer together. According to a study on Mic, the first fart in a relationship is similar to the first ‘I love you’ because it increases intimacy. Clinical therapist Robert Huizenga says that it shows you’re both human. This is the shit real-life marriages are made of.
