如果你身體健康、能言善辯，人們就會(huì)覺得你很聰明、值得信賴。

But turns out, you don't have to hit the geneticlottery to become more attractive to the oppositesex.

不過有研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，即使沒有這些先天基因優(yōu)勢，你同樣有機(jī)會(huì)受到異性的格外青睞。

Thanks to a slew of studies on sex and attraction, we found 12 grooming tips, attitudeadjustments, and other fixes for both men and women that are proven to make you moreappealing.

我們對性別與吸引力之間的關(guān)系進(jìn)行了大量研究，發(fā)現(xiàn)下面這12個(gè)方法(包括自我修飾、心態(tài)調(diào)整等)能讓你變得對異性更有吸引力。男女都適用哦。

1. Keep those teeth pearly white.

保持牙齒珍珠般亮白

A study confirmed that a white and evenly spaced set of teeth make people seem moreattractive.

一項(xiàng)研究證實(shí)，擁有一口潔白整齊的好牙，往往更具吸引力。

The study, from researchers at the British universities of Leeds and Central Lancashire, foundthat teeth are "the human equivalent of a peacock’s tail," according to The Daily Mail.

據(jù)《每日郵報(bào)》報(bào)道，英國利茲大學(xué)和中央蘭開夏大學(xué)的研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，人的牙齒就如同孔雀的尾巴一樣是吸引異性的法寶。

They are a sign of health and good genetics that help select a mate.

牙齒傳遞出健康和擁有優(yōu)良基因的信號，對找伴侶至關(guān)重要。

2. Eat your fruits and vegetables for glowing skin.

多吃水果蔬菜，讓你容光煥發(fā)

Eating more fruits and vegetables is a natural way to make your skin look more attractive, astudy from PLoS ONE showed.

《公共科學(xué)圖書館·綜合》發(fā)表的一項(xiàng)研究表明，多吃水果蔬菜，自然會(huì)讓你的皮膚看起來更有吸引力。

Fruits and vegetables are loaded with antioxidants and plant-based pigments, which give skin ahealthy hue.

水果和蔬菜本身含有多種抗氧化劑和植物色素，能讓食用者擁有健康膚色。

Plus, the results are instant. Participants in the study had rosier cheeks and healthier lookingskin with just an increase of one portion of fruit and vegetables a day.

另外，這種方法短時(shí)即可見效。研究參與者每天只多吃了一份果蔬，臉頰很快就紅潤起來，皮膚看上去也更好了。

3. Women should smile more.

女人要多笑

Turns out, there's a reason that creep on the streetis always asking you to smile.

研究證明，街上老有怪人攔住你讓你笑是有原因的。

Happiness is the most attractive emotion in females, a study called "Happy Guys Finish Last:The Impact of Emotion Expressions on Sexual Attraction" published in Emotion showed.

《情感》上發(fā)表的一項(xiàng)名為“快樂的男人不討喜：情感表達(dá)對兩性吸引力的影響”的研究表明，幸福感強(qiáng)的女性更具吸引力。

Researchers found that a simple smile causes men to find women more beautiful.

研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，一個(gè)簡單的微笑就會(huì)讓男人覺得女人更美。

4. Guys need to brood a little more.

男人要深沉

Brooding and swaggering men are much more attractive than men who are smiling, accordingto a study from the University of British Columbia. In fact, the women surveyed said happinesswas the leastattractive quality in a man.

英屬哥倫比亞大學(xué)的一項(xiàng)研究表明，深沉、自負(fù)的男性往往比笑瞇瞇的男性更具吸引力。實(shí)際上，受調(diào)查的女性覺得幸福感是男性最不吸引人的地方。

But the study was based only on "gut reactions on carnal, sexual attraction," one of the study'sco-authors told The Daily Mail, not whether the men would make a good boyfriend or husband.

但該研究的一位共同作者告訴《每日郵報(bào)》，此研究僅是基于肉欲的本能反應(yīng)，并非衡量一個(gè)好男友或好丈夫的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。

The study could explain why some women are attracted to the "bad boy" persona.

這項(xiàng)研究能為我們解釋為什么女性更喜歡外表壞壞的男性了。

5. Women should play dumb if they're lookingfor a fling.

女性想要勾搭成功率高，最好裝裝傻

This one pains us to write. But ladies, if you'relooking for a one-night stand, it's best to play itstupid.

寫這個(gè)有點(diǎn)難為情，但是女士們，如果你想要一夜情，那么最好裝得傻一點(diǎn)。

In a study published in Evolution and Human Behavior, graduate students at the University ofTexas–Austin found that that men were most attracted to women who appeared "dimwitted- orimmature," or "sleepy or intoxicated" for a one-night stand (charming).

來自《進(jìn)化和人類行為》的一項(xiàng)研究稱， 德克薩斯大學(xué)奧斯汀分校的研究生發(fā)現(xiàn)，那些看起來很傻很天真的女性對異性更具吸引力，迷離的、醉醺醺的女性也更容易得到一夜情。

Women who appeared quick-witted and lucid, on the other hand, were found less physicallyattractive.

而另一方面，那些反應(yīng)快、思路清晰的女性在這方面的吸引力則較低。

Thankfully, the opposite was true when men were seeking long-term partners.

所幸，男性在找終身伴侶的時(shí)候，他們的喜好正好相反。

6. Guys should shave their beards.

男性最好把胡子刮了

Women rated men with bearded faces as less attractive in a recent study in the OxfordJournal.

《牛津期刊》最近的一項(xiàng)研究表明，女人認(rèn)為留胡子的男人不怎么樣。

The study found that men with beards were seen as more aggressive and of a higher social-status, but not better looking.

這項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，留胡子的男性給人咄咄逼人、社會(huì)地位高的印象，而且通常長得不好看。

7. Women should also keep red lipstick handy.

女性應(yīng)該隨時(shí)補(bǔ)點(diǎn)紅唇彩

Ladies, pick up some red lipstick next time you're atthe drug store.

女士們，下次去藥店別忘了買幾支紅色唇膏。

A woman's lips are the most attractive part of her body, especially when colored with redlipstick, a study from the Manchester University revealed.

曼徹斯特大學(xué)的研究表明，女人的嘴唇是她們?nèi)�身最吸引人的地方，尤其在涂了紅色唇膏之后。

The study found that men stared at a woman's lips for seven full seconds when they werecolored red. In comparison, they spent just 0.95 seconds looking at her eyes and 0.85seconds gazing at her hair.

這項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，男性會(huì)盯住女性的紅唇整整七秒鐘。相較而言，他們只會(huì)花0.95秒和0.85秒來看她們的眼睛和頭發(fā)。

8. Men should play hard to get.

男追女得欲擒故縱

A study in Psychological Science showed that women found a man more attractive when shewasn't sure how strongly he felt about her, as opposed to when she was certain he was veryinterested in her.

《心理科學(xué)》的一項(xiàng)研究表明，相較于對女性表現(xiàn)出濃厚興趣的男性而言，讓她們猜不透心思的男性更具吸引力。

The study found that women started thinking about a man more when she was uncertain if hereally liked her or not. Then, she would conclude she liked him since she couldn't "get this guyout of her head."

這項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，當(dāng)女性不確定男性是否真的喜歡自己時(shí)，她們就會(huì)不停地想到這個(gè)人。之后，她會(huì)覺得既然這個(gè)男人在自己的頭腦中揮之不去，那么一定是自己喜歡上了這個(gè)男人。

Overall, the study suggested that if men hold back some of their feelings at the very beginning,and create some mystery, he'll be more likely to hook a member of the opposite sex.

總的來說，這項(xiàng)研究表明，如果男性一開始能藏起自己的感情，制造一些謎團(tuán)，那他最終就很有可能俘獲女性的芳心。

9. Guys should pick up a shirt with a "T" (we'renot kidding).

男性需要一件有字母“T”的襯衫(不是在逗你)

Researchers at Nottingham Trent University foundthat when men wore white t-shirts with a large blackletter "T" printed on the front, women found them12% more attractive.

諾丁漢特倫特大學(xué)的研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，男性身穿正面印有字母“T”黑色大字的襯衫，其對異性的吸引力會(huì)增加12%。

The scientists suggested that the shirt creates an illusion that broadens the shoulders andslims the waist, producing a more V-shaped body that women found sexy.

科學(xué)家解釋說，這樣的襯衫給人一種錯(cuò)覺，讓男性看起來腰窄肩寬，呈現(xiàn)出“V”字型身材。女性會(huì)認(rèn)為這種身材非常性感。

In contrast, men wearing a top with an inverted "T" — with the bar running around their waist— were deemed up to 12% less attractive.

相反，穿著倒“T”襯衫的(T字最上邊的“橫”圍在腰間)男性吸引力將下降12%。

10. Women should use a higher-pitched voice.

女性說話音調(diào)要高

Forget everything you know about a husky voice being considered sexy — women should use ahigher-pitched voice when speaking to a man they're interested in.

忘掉所有關(guān)于聲音低沉沙啞才會(huì)迷人性感的假話吧。當(dāng)跟自己感興趣的男性說話時(shí)，女性的音調(diào)一定要高。

Researchers at University College London found that men were more attracted to women withhigh-pitched voices because it conveys a smaller body type.

倫敦大學(xué)學(xué)院的研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，音調(diào)較高的女性更受男性的歡迎，因?yàn)橐粽{(diào)高往往代表著身材嬌小可愛。

11. Men need to take a deep breath and relax.

男性要深呼吸，放輕松

Women find less-stressed men substantially moreattractive than their more-stressed out rivals, astudy published in Proceedings of the Royal SocietyB journal found.

《皇家學(xué)會(huì)學(xué)報(bào)B輯》上發(fā)表的一項(xiàng)研究表明，女性覺得壓力小的男性比壓力大的男性更具吸引力。

The researchers concluded that men with low stress levels are considered more attractivebecause handling a stressful situation suggests having a "strong" genetic makeup that can bepassed on to children.

研究人員總結(jié)其原因在于：能妥善處理壓力表明這種男性的基因構(gòu)成更強(qiáng)，可以遺傳給下一代。

12. And everyone should go for a ride on a roller coaster.

男女都應(yīng)該去坐坐過山車

A study from last year revealed that roller coaster riders found their non-romantic co-ridersmore attractive after a whip around the track, according to The Daily Mail.

據(jù)《每日郵報(bào)》報(bào)道，去年的一項(xiàng)研究表明，乘坐過山車的人在經(jīng)歷過軌道上的風(fēng)馳電掣后，會(huì)覺得自己原本并沒什么感覺的異性同坐，突然變得更有吸引力了。

There was no difference for couples who were already romantically linked, so this trick onlyworks with potential partners.

對于已確立戀愛關(guān)系的人來講，乘不乘坐過山車，吸引力沒有變化，所以這只對潛在戀人起作用。

More than 1,000 people participated in the study, which first appeared in the Archives of SexualBehavior.

該研究最初發(fā)表在《性行為檔案》上，有1000多人參與了此次研究。
