7 habits that make you unattractive in women’s eyes

Find out what can destroy your natural charm, undermine the charisma and, as a result, deprive thedeserved admiration of others.

Tips in the genre of “how to become more attractive” are usually quite banal: you are offered to listen to good music, walk the dog and so on. Much more interesting, what things can destroy your image.

Chronic lack of sleep

Proof of this can be a study published on the British Medical Journal website. In 2010, experts conducted an experiment – showed a group of students photos of people who slept for at least 8 hours, and photos of people who did not sleep for 31 hours. The sleepless were called “tired” (which is obvious), as well as less attractive, less healthy, more sad.

Greed

In 2014, Chinese researchers conducted an experiment: demonstrating photographs of people to students, they characterized each photo with either “generous” or “stingy” epithets. Photos from the category of “stingy” called attractive much less.

Language of the body

You’ve probably heard about body language. Some poses, such as knees wide apart, hands, rested on the sides, straight posture, look into the eyes, give a person confident. And ssutulennaya back, shifting from foot to foot, closed postures (arms crossed on the chest) – on the contrary.

Scientists from Princeton University have created profiles in Tinder. Not his, of course, but voluntary participants in the experiment of both sexes. In the first part of the experiment, they posed in closed poses. Then scientists created profiles of the same participants, but already in open poses. According to statistics, the second time these profiles were much more popular.

Stress

A 2013 study found that women with elevated levels of the stress hormone (cortisol) seem less attractive to men. It works in the opposite direction. Subconsciously, a person with elevated levels of stress hormones seems to be less healthy and less fertile, and therefore less attractive.

Too joyful look

Women do not like men who smile too much. A 2011 study published on the website of the US National Institutes of Health found that men consider women who demonstrate joy and happiness as the most attractive, and arrogant women are not popular. Women choose men with a proud and independent look. And the owners of wide smiles do not interest them.

Lack of sense of humor

A man walks into a bar, jokes a joke and … remains alone!

The authors of the 2009 study “The effect of humor on interpersonal attractiveness and the choice of a partner” came to the expected conclusions: the worse you understand the joke, the less attractive you look to the opposite sex.

Smell

Science assumes that humans, like other members of the animal world, are subconsciously searching for a mate among individuals unlike genetically. Nature ensures that your descendants do not receive a pair of “defective” genes.

One of the markers of genetic similarity is the smell from the mouth. In 2004, scientists conducted the following experiment: DNA samples from the mouth were taken from long-term couples, and all participants were asked to anonymously tell them whether they changed their partner or partner. Later, scientists compared the results and found that in pairs in which the DNA has similar features, there are many times more changes.
