Two new studies show why some people are more attractive for members of the opposite sex than others.

The University of Florida, Florida State University found that physically attractive people almost instantly attract the attention of the interlocutor, sobesednitsy with them, literally, it is difficult to make eye. This conclusion was reached by a series of psychological experiments, which were determined by the people who believe in sending the first seconds after the acquaintance. Here, a curious feature: single, unmarried experimental preferred to look at the guys, beauty opposite sex, and family, people most often by representatives of their sex.

The authors believe that this feature developed a behavior as a result of the evolution: a man trying to find a decent pair to acquire offspring. If this is resolved, he wondered potential rivals. Detailed information about this magazine will be published Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.

In turn, a joint study of the Rockefeller University, Rockefeller University and Duke University, Duke University in North Carolina revealed that women are perceived differently by men smell. During experiments studied the perception of women one of the ingredients of male pheromone-androstenona smell, which is contained in urine or sweat.

The results were startling: women are part of this repugnant odor, and the other part is very attractive, resembling the smell of vanilla, and the third group have not felt any smell. The authors argue that the reason is that the differences in the receptor responsible for the olfactory system, from different people are different.

It has long been proven that mammals (including human) odor is one way of attracting the attention of representatives of the opposite sex. A detailed article about the journal Nature will publish.

Kelly, don’t make me break out the James Taylor (“Straight outta Carrboro…”)

May the force be with you QofS. Could be worse honey, you could be a Southerner…that just brings a whole lot more baggage to the conversation.

Please explain to me why that column caused you to be called a racist and other nasty stuff? I don’t get it. It’s an extremely heart-felt, deeply reflective piece. That is awesome that you’ve been printed on paper with the same words now too! YEAH!

Did I ever mentio how much I agree with tha tpost, when obama really hit the scene it was the first thing i said to my husband if he runs – I don’t think he will walk his daughters down the isle. i really don’ think enough of america is ready enough – enough is ready that he would win, but not enough that he would live through his term.

i hate that this was my first thought and he is the first politician I have honestly and truly prayed for in my adult life.

Strong statements,well said. Those who object or feel threatened must have missed the ending: “Whatever you decide, the Moms, if no one else, will understand and have your back.”
