Glances - the secret of attraction

You can transform your attraction to the opposite sex simply by looking into their eyes and smiling. A study of hundreds of volunteers at the University of Stirling and Aberdeen, England, found that if your eyes were slipping away, only a few made you less attractive.

According to the researchers, the eye's direction plays an important role besides a balanced face and healthy skin . It also helps people identify the feelings of the enemy and does not waste energy for meaningless flirting.

Research using facial images of men and women that have been technically processed. In one picture, the woman looks directly at the camera, while in the other picture, one corrects a bit so that the woman looks slightly left or right. Very small differences are almost impossible to recognize immediately.

However, after showing these 460 photos to men and women, the researchers found a significant difference in the perception between the two pictures. The difference in attractiveness between straight look and oblique look up to 8 times.

While many other studies have found an association between face shape, facial expression and other physical clues to gravity, this is the first study to explore more about the eye. .

" People like faces that show that they like them, so the appeal is not only simple in physical beauty but also in the eyes, " said Claire Conway, lead author.
