WHO EVER THOUGHT THAT S*X APPEAL IS JUST ABOUT THE BODY?

The common ideology behind having sex appeal is usually about having a banging body and good looks, right? Well, science has proved that wrong.

Sex appeal doesn’t just have to do with a hot body, according to a survey by biological anthropologist Helen Fisher, the chief scientific officer at the online dating company Match.

Every year, Helen Fisher polls thousands of men and women for Match’s Singles in America study. She asked them the same question each year: When you initially meet someone, what do you notice first?

A banging body wasn’t the response. Rather, “They say teeth, grammar, and self-confidence,” Fisher tells Yahoo Health.

“From a Darwinian perspective, this makes perfect sense. Teeth say a lot about your overall health, grammar can tell you what kind of background and education the person has, and self-confidence says a lot about your psychological stability.”

According to Fisher, research shows that we are generally drawn to people who are similar to us — the same socioeconomic status, education level, intelligence, culture, religion, looks, and so on.

This probably explains why you might fall for someone, even though that person may not really have that ‘sex appeal’.
