attraction

after having a quick conversation last night about wheather or not i found a certain girl attractive i began to really think about what makes people sexually appealing to others. after doing a quick search i came across this article that i found somewhat interesting. I realize its 8 pages long and so therefore probably no one will read it, so i figure ill give a quick overview. it basically talks about how there are certain behaviours that are connected to flirting in men and women that can be found cross culture, and across the animal kingdom. The article suggests that certain behaviours are biologically embedded in our psyche as behaviours that will attract the opposite sex, such as eye contact or certain postures. It also covers certain characterstics that make people physically look attactive to the opposite sex. The article suggests that averagness and symmetry are two very important factors in your attractiveness to the opposite sex. kind of a strange article i guess, just something i found sort of interesting cause im a bio nerd.
