Are you one of those who look at the physical? Does it attract your attention beautiful eyes or full lips? Or on the contrary, does the physicist not interest you in a person and focus more on his interior? In this Science Daily Online entry, we talk about long legs and their appeal to both men and women.
Long legs for men, for women or both?
It seems that not only men like to see long, slender legs, women also think that men with longer legs are much more attractive , according to data from a study by a group of psychologists from the University of Wroclaw in Poland.
These investigations, carried out with a sample of more than 200 women and men, concluded that people whose lower limbs they are longer by 5% of the average, they are more attractive , leaving aside the variable sex.
Other studies that focus on sexual attraction have also confirmed that people taller than average tend to attract more to the opposite sex. But, until now, little was known about the influence of leg length on people and their overall attractiveness.
People with long legs are more attractive
To carry out this research, the psychologists of the University of Wroclaw requested 210 participants of both sexes to assess the attraction for the physical appearance of 7 women and 7 men through digitally edited photographs.By modifying the photographs, the legs of the 7 participants of both sexes were lengthened to match the Polish average or even extend them by 5%, 10% or 15% more.
The research team confirmed that apart from the body shape of the participants and the length of their legs, people were evaluated with longer legs at 5% as more attractants .The next group of more attractive participants were those with the longest legs at 10% of the average.
As explained by the director From this research, Boguslaw Pawlowski, to the magazine 'New Scientist', these results are based on the fact that the longer legs are a sign of health, so they end up attracting much more than the legs with less length On the contrary, in other studies, shorter legs have been associated with a higher risk of suffering from diseases such as type 2 diabetes, whose main cause is obesity of both sexes.
