The Most Beautiful Woman, the Handsomest of Men= GLOBAL HUMAN HYBRID.

You know, if someone told you in 8th grade that science was going to help you get laid someday, I bet you would have paid a heck of a lot more attention in class.

Beauty may be "in the eye of the beholder," but I cannot help but notice that what is perceived as beauty varies to some extent from country to country.

 In The United States of Central North America and Europe, slimness seemed, until fairly recently, to be in vogue. But if you travel to the Middle East or India, that never seemed (beefy men and or women wealthier??? to be as true; the images of beauty you see on the covers of magazines and in movies often have wide hips (in women), or are rather large and beefy (in men).

So, I thought I'd research the topic a bit, to see if there are any universally accepted standards for what constitutes attractiveness, in the sense of finding an attractive partner, be it male or female.

What I found was interesting Most standards of what is considered attractive – especially sexually attractive – seem to be based on whether the person appears to be healthy and fits the description of the GLOBAL HUMAN HYBRID.

There seems to be a universal appreciation for bodies that are average, and that don't stand out too much from the NORM. 

That is, neither too tall nor too short, neither too skinny nor too fat. This has been theorised to have something to do with a subconscious appreciation for the mechanics of genetics, in that "average" is an indicator of the absence of genes that are potentially maladaptive.

But most of the qualities that men and women list as attractive tend to be traits that are associated with good physical health, which is either consciously or unconsciously associated with good reproductive health.

What are the Individual Traits Universally Accepted as Attractive?

There are many such traits, but in the following points I'll present an overview of some that have been recognised by psychologists and social scientists all over the world:

• Clear skin. In both sexes, having skin that looks healthy and is free of acne, rashes, and other indications of possible systemic imbalance is considered healthy and attractive.

• Good hair. In both men and women, having hair that is lustrous and vibrant and that looks healthy and well-cared-for is considered a sign of attractiveness. In women, long hair is almost always considered attractive; scientists tend to believe that this is because only someone who is in good physical health can grow hair longer than, say, just below their shoulders. Waist-length hair indicates extremely good physical – and thus reproductive – health.

• In men, strong bodies. In almost all cultures, men who have a classic "V-shaped" torso are considered attractive. Other features considered attractive in men include having wide shoulders and strong arms, and a waist-to-hip ratio of about 1.0.

• In women, "classic" bodies. Interestingly, given the obsession we see in recent years with being model-thin, this is not what most men cite as attractive. They are more attracted to women who have fuller hips and buttocks (possibly because that is unconsciously associated with easier childbirth), and a waist-to-hip ratio of 0.7.

• An attractive body often "offsets" a less attractive face. In studies around the world, this has been found to be true both for men and women, far more often than the opposite. Again, there seems to be a health and reproductive health tie-in.

• Smiles are all-important. This is consistent in all cultures. The quality of a man or woman's smile is often listed as the most important consideration as to whether they are attractive or not. This makes sense both physically and psychologically, because the quality of one's teeth is another health issue, and the ability to smile naturally and often is a good indicator of how much happiness and sense of self-worth the person has.

• Hygiene. Cleanliness and a sense of caring enough about oneself to keep one's body, hair, skin, and clothing clean and fresh-looking is universally considered attractive, possibly again because it's a good indicator – in both men and women – of the person's sense of self-worth and well-being, and thus their psychological health.

Following are traits, both physical and behavioural, that actual scientific research has found that women find attractive in men. These are not mere assumptions or opinions, but actual conclusions that behavioural scientists have come to following extensive research.

Fact 1: Height Matters

Nearly 50% of women claimed that they’d prefer to date a man who’s taller than they were. But how did the stereotype of TALL, dark and handsome come about? Well, social psychologists claim that most women are psychologically geared towards finding taller men attractive because most of our world’s cultures regard tall men as embodiment of all that is masculine.

But some scientists believe that the reasons for this go even deeper. A group of researchers from the University of Utah published a study which puts forth the idea that a woman’s preference for taller men actually dates back to our caveman days. In a time and age where physical protection of her and her potential offspring were integral to a woman, she would have been evolutionary geared to gravitate towards taller men who had a clear physical advantage in a confrontation. And although this advantage might seem a little less important in a modern day context, the researchers still believe that this evolutionary programming to find taller men more attractive is still deeply embedded in the female psyche.

Fact 2: A bit of Stubble Helps

There’s a reason why actors like George Clooney, Brat Pitt rock the two-days-without-a-shave look. they understand that women dig a bit of stubble. It’s one of the bad-boy trademarks that women have a soft (and wet) spot for.

Fact: a group of Australian researchers from The University of New South Wales conducted a survey with over 350 women on their preferences for male facial hair, and the overwhelming majority agreed that a bit of stubble was the way to go. Experts in human evolutionary psychology even claim that from an evolutionary standpoint, men with a bit of stubble would have been considered more dominant, masculine, aggressive and socially mature.

Fact 3: A Deep Voice is More Attractive

Ask any woman who she would rather hookup with (based on their voices alone) and the chances are that she’ll pick the stud with deepest voice. But why is it that women in general seem to find men with deeper, huskier voices more attractive? Well, according to a bunch of researchers from University College London, it’s because women perceive a deeper voice as a sign of a larger and stronger physicality; something that women are evolutionary geared to find attractive.

But, What if Your Voice Isn’t Honey-in-Your-Ears Husky? Well as a singer I can tell you that the voice is an incredibly versatile instrument that can be tailored quite a bit. So if you’re not happy with the squeak that you’re producing when you talk to women, sign up for a few voice training or speaking lessons, and you’ll be surprised with how much versatility you’ll find in your voice.

Fact 4: An Athletic Body

Now before you hit the gym and load up on protein supplements, read ahead. Researchers have found that out of all the body shapes, women in general seem to prefer a “V-shaped” athletic body on a man; that is to say a strong and well-defined musculature on the upper body and a narrow and slim waist. So if you’re lacking in this department, it might be time to get yourself an advantage with a good exercise and diet plan.

Wearing clothes that fit perfectly is another good idea. A well-tailored blazer will often give the impression of broad shoulders while V-neck t-shirts can help make your torso look slimmer (Elvis Presley in most of his movie roles).

Fact 5: Slower Movements

Look at any TYPICAL alpha male character from a movie and the first thing that you’ll notice is that they seem to do everything extra slow. Take any Clint Eastwood character for instance. He hardly says more than a few dozen words in a movie but he still looks like the coolest fucking guy ever. In fact, researchers have found that men who have slower movements and speech are often perceived as more at ease and confident, and thus, more attractive. So start paying attention to the speed at which you operate in day-to-day life. Slowing down might feel unnatural at first, but with practice it will become second nature.~~Al (Alex-Alexander D Girvan.
