Is There a Relationship Between Facial Shape, Health, Happiness and Aggression
and Who We are Attracted to?
Yes, In my book SNAP I discuss in detail how Facial Symmetry is linked to good genetic health. Researchers have also found correlations between symmetry and health,
which lends itself to the theory that in looking for a mate, humans and other
animals look for those who will be most healthy and free of disease. So facial symmetry makes someone look healthy and that makes them more attractive to us.
What you may not know about facial symmetry and health is how it is linked to mood and other specific health issues. One study
found that men with asymmetric faces tend to suffer more from depression,
anxiety, headaches and even stomach problems. Women with facial asymmetry were found to be
less healthy and more prone to emotional instability and depression. Another
study found that the more asymmetric a person's body was, the more likely they
were to show signs of aggression when provoked.
