The Science of Dating: How We Choose Our Partner
Online, April 12, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Attempting to follow the same pattern shown by the latest romantic comedy may seem like a good idea, but in reality, who you are attracted to and how it is that you come to be with that person has to do with science. Our bodies and minds have evolved continuously since the dawn of man. The reason we are attracted to certain people and not others has a great deal to do with our biochemistry. We are subconsciously searching for a partner based on fertility. We measure each others chances of fertility with out even realizing it. Psychologist Devendra Singh of the University of Texas states "In general, a range of 0.67 to 1.18 waist to hip ratio in females is attractive to men, while a 0.8 to 1.0 waist to hip ratio in men is attractive to women, although having broad shoulders is more of a turn-on."
Symmetry is one of the most pertinent features when we look for a partner. It is in the symmetry of that persons face which will determine how attracted you are to them. Unfortunately, symmetry is one of those things we cannot easily change. It is part of our cell structure and begins forming the moment we are conceived. In general the more symmetrical a persons face, the more attractive they are and in terms of survival, smaller symmetry meaning less differences between the right and left side of the face means healthier or "better" genes and a higher chance of survival.
You may be thinking "If my body knows what it wants, why haven't I found it?" Along with our biochemical makeup, our minds and thought process influence our decisions in choosing a partner. If we lived like cavemen and had no influence from movies, T.V., social media, and print, we may be able to let our body's do the talking. However, we tend to try to follow the "dating" guidelines portrayed by the media. Men are in search of a woman with a shapely but healthy figure; While women are attracted to tall men with broad shoulders and a deep voice.
