The mystery of attraction – it’s something that has kept even the greatest brains puzzled for centuries. But what is it that can make someone instantly desirable to us? And is there a magic formula for creating this?
When it comes to the kind of men women are attracted to, apparently there are vital ingredients that can turn average Joe into Adonis.
Being irresistible to women is apparently all in the mind.
According to research performed by a team of Australian scientists, women are drawn to men who are high in mindfulness.
How this translates in human terms is: women like men who truly engage their attention and keep it in the present moment.
The key to being mindful is to pay attention to the present moment
These men can often be more open, non-judgemental and curious than others too.
The research is interesting because it shows it’s not always how technically ‘good looking’ someone is that factors in how attractive you find them.
In the study, participants were asked to rate how physically attractive each person was before meeting them or speaking to them.
They also had to complete a questionnaire to measure their levels of mindfulness.
And the findings were clear: men were drawn to more physically attractive women, where women preferred the more ‘mindful’ men.
