Media has complicated many lives.
Because of media, many people lose their confidence if they don't fall into the current beauty standard.
Perfect Weight
Perfect Skin
Perfect Hips
Perfect Body
All these standards make seeing yourself as attractive quite challenging.
Attraction goes way beyond the beauty standards.
Looks are not the only way we are attracted to each other.
According to scientists, the moment you feel attracted to somebody other than their looks, you subconsciously check out their genes, hormones, energy-type, personality, cultural and religious backgrounds and many more!
After you meet the person, your nose picks up on natural chemical signals known as 'pheromones'.
Men and women judge each other differently based on smell.
Men get the testosterone boost when they smell and ovulating women while women like the smell of men whose MHC Molecules differed from theirs.
This is because they want to choose a partner who can provide them with a stronger baby and different MHC molecules mean a stronger immune system.
In attraction, hormones play a huge role in creating your type.
Dopamine People are attractive to dopamine people
Serotonin People are attracted to Serotonin People
Testosterone People are very analytical and tough and are attracted to their opposites which are the Estrogen/Oxytocin People who have more imaginative and nurturing traits.
Another thing that makes you attracted to some people is their voice.
The research shows that men prefer the female voice type that indicates small body like high bitch and breathy while female prepare a low-pitched voice that indicates a large body size.
We need to stop believing in beauty standards because media pushes one specific look. People start losing their own identities and many lose their confidence because they look differently.
Remember:
Everyone can be beautiful to someone.
"You cannot change the way you look, but you can change the way you see yourself"
