What attracts you to a person?? here's what some researchers are saying....


Have you ever wondered why men are attracted to fair-complexioned females while women prefer the dark and brooding types?

Well, the attraction is driven by preferences based on moral assumptions, says a study. Researchers have found that men are subconsciously attracted to fairer skin due to its association with purity, innocence, modesty and goodness, while women feel that darker complexions are associated with sex, virility and danger.

"What the research shows is that our aesthetic preferences operate to reflect moral preferences. Within our cultures, we have a set of ideals about how women should look and behave. Lightness and darkness have particular meanings attached to them and we subconsciously relate those moral preferences to women," the study's lead author Dr Shyon Baumann of Toronto University said.


They found this out by analysing people's responses to about 2.000 advertisements...


i found this kinda insteresting

what do you think??

I like girls with morals so I agree with that part but the skin color thing I think is not influential.
