Behind all human actions there is always a reason for doing the act. So if one wonders why they are attracted to a particular person; there is a reason beyond mere luck. However, there is a science to why a heart may shiver or feet may become shaky in the presence of another human being. It deals with the compatibility of our physical attraction to other people; whether it’s the scent of their persona or how asymmetrical their face is, it all surrounds the genre of science; the subject matter of psychology to be more precise. There are many concepts and studies that go into the art of attractiveness dealing with physical desirability and compatibility to be with a certain person.
What exactly is physical attraction and what is the foundation of this particular attraction? According to an article called Genetic Engineering – Physical Attraction and the future of human evolution states…
“Physical attractiveness refers to the perception (appearance) of an individual as physically beautiful by other people. Some aspects of how a person is judged beautiful are universal to all cultures, whereas others are restricted to particular cultures or time periods. What is at the root of physical attractiveness? It is theorized that people are attracted to people possessing those traits which convey an ability to enhance one's own survival … those traits with which they wish to imbue their offspring. Whether this theoretical root cause occurs consciously or subconsciously (perhaps through evolutionarily development) is also a matter of debate”[1]
