Body language research shows that certain facial characteristics or expressions are most attractive to members of the opposite sex? Why?

Body language research shows that certain facial characteristics or expressions are most attractive to members of the opposite sex? Why? Yes facial symmetry. Evolutionary theory shows that symmetry evolved to help with mate selection. Research has shown that women are more attracted to men with more symmetrical features. One study even found that women have more orgasms during sex with men who were more symmetrical, regardless of their level of romantic attachment or the guys' sexual experience.

Is There a Relationship Between Facial Shape, Health, Happiness and Aggression and Who We Are Attracted To?

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.

What is "facial femininity?" What personality traits do you believe it is correlated with it?

What is "facial femininity?" What personality traits do you believe it is correlated with it? Certain facial features in women are seen as attractive, and appealing and we may see these faces indicating innocence. Symmetrical facial features, large eyes (Theory attracted to features similar to an infants that effects the limbic brain) and larger upper lip than lower lip and red enlarged lips (similar to engorged labial lips) paler skin, glowing skin, skin free of spots and other facial blemishes. (facial symmetry is about measurement; recent psychology research from the University of California, San Diego and the University of Toronto has found that the distance between a woman’s eyes and the distance between her eyes and mouth are very important in whether people find her attractive.  When the vertical distance between the eyes and the mouth was approximately 36 percent of the face’s length, and the horizontal distance between the eyes was approximately 46 percent of the face's width, the students judged the faces as more attractive. This study shows that the structure of faces -- the relation between our face contour and the eyes, mouth and nose -- also contributes to our perception of facial attractiveness. Those findings also explain why sometimes an attractive person looks unattractive or vice versa after a haircut, because hairdos change the face shape thus the ratios."
