Document Summary
Proximity being physically close to someone increases attraction because of the mere exposure effect: proximity is an accentuator if you already do not like them, this will enhance dislike. For women, big eyes, small chin, big lips, waist-hip ratio of 0. 7. For men, strong jaw, borad forehead, strong cheekbones and shoulders. Stereotype that what is attractive is good (true across cultures) Similarity what is similar to us leads to attraction, with reference to demographic traits, personality, values, and attitudes: complementary is also good having a dominant personality with a submissive personality is better than two doms/subs. No fear of rejection: we like people more who like only us as opposed to liking a lot of different people. Environmental factors increase in physical arousal increases attraction: embodied cognition if on a physically unstable surface, will prefer stable personalities; if we are holding a warm cup, we see others as being warmer. Original: well-matched pairs, good at guessing value.
