9 Ways to Deal with Unexpected Phone Calls for Men and Women

Maybe the little things can attract you more?

We did exciting things together:

A study published in the American Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that when men and women do exciting things together (such as riding roller coasters, riding motorcycles, mountain climbing, etc.), the possibility of a romantic relationship between the two will greatly increase. To confirm this conclusion, the researchers placed the participants in two situations: one group walked on a stable bridge, and the other group walked on a high and shaky bridge. The results showed that the participants in the latter group had a higher evaluation of each other and were much more likely to leave their phone numbers.

Living near:

The physical distance between two people can have a significant impact on love. A study conducted by scholars from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found that men and women who live close to each other are more likely to fall in love. This is because they have some passive contact with each other in their daily lives, such as passing by each other on the street or going to a familiar coffee shop. This phenomenon is called the "pure contact effect" and it makes two people feel close.

All have pet dogs:

Researchers at the University of Michigan conducted an experiment in which they asked female participants to read a short passage describing male characteristics. When the male protagonist in the story had a pet dog, female participants rated them as having stronger long-term attractiveness because it meant the man had the ability to care for others, and having a pet also made people feel more relaxed, approachable, and happier.

People whose pace matches:

Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign found that people who walk at similar speeds are more likely to be attracted to each other. At the same time, when a man walks with a beloved woman, he will unconsciously adjust his pace to adapt to her.

People who smile often:

A study conducted by Swiss scholars found that smiling can affect people's liking for the opposite sex, and some respondents said that it was their partner's charming smile that captured their hearts.

Give the other person a hot drink:

Psychologist John Bach conducted a study in which he asked participants to hold a cup of hot or cold drink and make either warm or cold evaluations of other people's personality traits. The results showed that people who held a hot drink in their hands were more likely to make positive comments about others. Therefore, offering the other person a cup of hot coffee instead of ice cream when you meet them may make the other person feel warm.

He lives in a neat and tidy home:

It's often assumed that women are attracted to men with fancy homes, but researchers at Cardiff Metropolitan University in the UK found that women are more attracted to men whose homes are clean and tidy.

Can play musical instruments:

French scholars have found that having a certain amount of musical knowledge or a beautiful voice can make it easier to gain the favor of the opposite sex. If two people both love music, it is easier for them to be attracted to each other.

Having a certain type of beard:

A study conducted by Australian scholars found that beards can also affect women's judgment of men. Men with a slightly thick, short beard are more likely to be favored by women, and women prefer men with beards during their ovulation period.
