Researchers from the University of Bristol overturned centuries-old stereotypes about men. It turns out that the so-called " eyeing "Traditionally ascribed male actually characteristic of women. Moreover, in respect of its representatives same gender. A man, on the contrary, the attraction of potential partners is determined by their faces, but not the figures.
These findings were made on the basis of a simple experiment. All volunteers of both sexes were asked to carefully review a series of different images, including pictures of nature, classic and surrealist paintings, as well as still images depicting pairs of different movies.
In the latter category were the pictures of the final scenes of the famous film "Love Actually" with Hugh Grant and Martin McCutchen in which this pair appears on the stage with the school. Grant in the film plays the role of the British prime minister, who fell in love with the maid. Here it is when he kisses right on the stage of the school stage at the end of children's performance.
Another picture was taken from the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's", where Audrey Hepburn starred George Peppard. It turned out that the woman while watching these pictures do not look nearly Grant or Peppard - they " gloat "Actresses. 61% of the time, they looked just at women, and only 39% for men. This Audrey Hepburn and Martin McCutchen ladies figure evaluated as a whole, but the male volunteers mostly interested in their faces.
The researchers attribute this to the fact that women see other women of potential competitors, therefore, and comparing themselves with them. Furthermore, they avoid direct eye contact. Men characters from the film looked straight into his eyes. And women viewed only 51% of the time and 49% for men. The difference is quite negligible.
