Have you ever wondered why you're drawn to certain people? The Matchmakers team has been delving into the science of attraction and where it comes from.
1.Genetics
Our genes play a role in determining who we find attractive. Studies have shown that certain physical traits, like symmetry and facial features, are often considered attractive across cultures.
2.Hormones
Hormones like testosterone and oestrogen influence our attraction to others. For example, higher testosterone levels in men have been linked to increased attractiveness to women.
3.Similarity
We tend to be attracted to people who share similar interests, values, and beliefs. This similarity can lead to a sense of connection and understanding.
4.Proximity
The closer we are to someone physically, the more likely we are to develop feelings for them. This is known as the "mere exposure effect."
5.Cultural Norms
Cultural norms and expectations can influence who we find attractive.
6.Social Status
Social status can also be a factor in attraction. We may be drawn to people who have higher social standing, or who we feel are ‘equals’ to ourselves.
While biological, psychological, and social factors all play a role, it is important to remember that attraction is subjective and can vary greatly from person to person. Understanding the science behind attraction can help us better understand ourselves and our relationships with others.
