It's Complicated: How Women Determine Facial Attractiveness
It's no surprise that how women determine facial attractiveness is complicated. Unlike many men who may give a woman's body a once-over, and then look at her face, deeming her attractive or unattractive, women, when checking out a man's face, tend to evaluate it on two levels, according to a study that was just published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology.
The first level women use to evaluate men's faces is sexual: they zero in on features like the jawbone, cheekbones, and lips.
Men Get Dumber Speaking to Attractive Women
In news that will surprise absolutely no one, researchers have found that men get so flummoxed when speaking to attractive women — using up most of their cognitive abilities trying to impress them — that they sometimes forget basic personal information like their own addresses!
Research showed that if (presumably straight) men spent even a few minutes with an attractive woman, they didn’t perform as well on tests that measure brain function than they did after speaking to someone they didn’t find attractive. Women didn’t seem to have this reaction in the presence of men they considered handsome.

Unfortunately, because of this strange phenomenon, many people end up dating the wrong guys over and over again.
Dear Poll: Should Attraction Be Instantaneous or Grow Over Time?
Though we all have different opinions on whether or not love at first sight is possible, I’m sure we’ve all experienced serious attraction upon a first encounter — and I don’t just mean physical — sometimes you just connect!
Then again, it’s also common for feelings of attraction to grow over time; you can meet someone as a friend and find yourself more and more attracted as you get to know him. I'm guessing we've all experienced both types of attraction, but when it comes to creating a lasting relationship, which do you think is better?
