Basic Overview and Thesis
Quite a bit more difficult in reality, as men's preferences often differ but it is very easy if you are somewhat
good looking. You just have to give a man attention enough to the point he will like you and your goal is
accomplished.
Study done about the psychology of men’s attraction
https://scholar.utc.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1065&context=mps
Study was published in 2009 by ASU by psych prof. Sherynn Perry
PROCEDURE
The experimenter entered four undergraduate classes separately, a questionnaire was distributed to the
participants (men and women were each given a questionnaire that included a picture of the opposite sex);
participants were then told to read the directions and answer the questions based on personal opinion. The test
was completely anonymous—names and other identification information were not requested. Total testing
time took approximately 10 min. The questionnaires were collected by the experimenter, and the participants
were debriefed. The experimenter scored the data using a reverse scoring technique on questions that had to do
with characteristics other than physical appearance, in order to determine the emphasis the participant placed
on physical appearance.
RESULTS
An Independent Samples Nonequivalent Control Groups Design was used to determine the relationship
between physical appearance and level of attraction to a member of the opposite sex. The data from the
questionnaire and that of the Attraction Scale were combined. These data were analyzed on SPSS. Those who
received the picture of the unattractive target (Group 1; M = 27.15, SD = 1.52) were found to be less likely to
select the stimulus person as a mate than those who received the picture of the attractive target (Group 2; M =
40.50, SD = 1.87), t(55) = 5.58, p < .001. Group 2 (the "attractive group") was 13.35% more willing to get
involved with the stimulus person in a romantic way. This was found to be significant; therefore, in this
experiment, physical appearance was found to be a factor in determining the level of attraction in a possible
romantic relationship.
NCBI .GOV study about facial attractiveness

ABSTRACT
Face preferences affect a diverse range of critical social outcomes, from mate choices and decisions about
platonic relationships to hiring decisions and decisions about social exchange. Firstly, we review the facial
characteristics that influence attractiveness judgements of faces (e.g. symmetry, sexually dimorphic shape cues,
averageness, skin colour/texture and cues to personality) and then review several important sources of
individual differences in face preferences (e.g. hormone levels and fertility, own attractiveness and personality,
visual experience, familiarity and imprinting, social learning). The research relating to these issues highlights
flexible, sophisticated systems that support and promote adaptive responses to faces that appear to function to
maximize the benefits of both our mate choices and more general decisions about other types of social partners.
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
Being more or less attractive has important social consequences and people do generally agree on who is and
who is not attractive. Beauty is not just a simple social construct—attractiveness appears to be ingrained in our
biology. While some aspects of face perception might be innate, other aspects are clearly influenced by
experience; it seems unlikely that individuals are born with a representation of what a perfect partner looks like.
Structural and other aspects of human facial appearance are linked to preferences (§2). If a trait reliably
advertises some benefit to the perceiver, then we would expect individuals in a population to find that trait
attractive. It is clear that individual differences in preferences for some traits will prove adaptive and so are
consistent with evolutionary theory. We document several potentially adaptive individual differences in human
face preferences as well as other factors that may lead to variable preferences (§3). Research on human facial
attractiveness has benefited greatly from an evolutionary/biological perspective, both in terms of documenting
what traits are likely to be important and in predicting individual variation. Work on facial attractiveness is also
integrative, combining theories and methods from behavioral ecology, cognition, cross-cultural research and
social psychology.
