Science provides answers to almost all of our questions. I wondered if science can explain why we find someone beautiful and attractive. I researched online and yes, science has a logical explanation on why we find someone appealing. I’m going to share them to you in this entry.
Science says that symmetry is beauty. A symmetrical face and body is attractive. For women, a waist-hip-ratio of 0.7 is attractive. Research has proven this. An examination of coca-cola bottle bodies of Playboy models and Miss America contestants showed that most of them had a waist-hip-ratio of 0.7. What exactly does the waist-hip-ratio entail? A woman with a 0.7 healthy waist-hip-ratio will most likely bare a child. A 0.7 WHR is an indicator of good health. It means that the women produces the proper and right amount of estrogen that will make her waist-hip-ratio reach the ideal range. The same goes with the male testosterone.
That’s the science behind beauty in a nutshell :P but of course let’s remember that science has a very limited view of the world and doesn’t capture everything there is to know. I believe that the science behind beauty only encapsulates a part of the explanation for attraction.
