People you live with can influence your beauty standard - understand

When it comes to beauty, people like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, the tender couple in the world, are almost consensus. But even if you find them both incredibly beautiful, it's quite possible that your type is n't exactly theirs.

A new study has proved that the almost philosophical thing that beauty is in the eye of the beholder is, after all, a great truth. According to the survey's conclusion, half of the people we consider beautiful are part of our beauty list for unique reasons that make sense only to ourselves. In addition, we find the people who most influence our life experiences attractive.

The study's author, Jeremy Wilmer, who is a professor of psychology at Wellesley College, explains that if two people needed to list faces of individuals they find attractive, and if they had access to the same faces, the selection would obviously be different.

To come to the happy conclusion that we may not be that shallow, Wilmer's team evaluated how 35, 000 people rated the beauty of various faces available on the Testmybrain website - at this link you can also evaluate the faces made available by researchers.

The fact is that when it comes to beauty, science has already proven that more symmetrical faces are the recipe for success. Still, it's not just those consensual beauties that attract us.

In addition to assessing the responses of people who rated the faces provided by Wilmer's team, the researchers also studied the preferences of 547 identical twin pairs and 214 fraternal twin pairs. The team hoped that by studying preferences of genetically similar or very similar people who grew up in similar environments, it would be possible to better understand the relationship between what we think is beautiful and our life experiences.

Going by this logic, it is normal to expect identical twins to have made a similar preference list. Considering that the environment in which each person is raised could also influence this, scientists also hoped that fraternal twins would have similar preferences. Guess just what happened? Just the opposite.

According to Wilmer, in a statement published in Time magazine, even the identical twins, who shared the same family environments and many personal experiences, had completely different answers from what they find beautiful and attractive.

This reinforces the idea that our personal experiences determine what we find attractive and, because we are talking about personal factors, there is no denying it: even those who are genetically equal and live in equal environments, such as identical twins, have experiences and experiences. unique sensations of life.

Maybe you are wondering what life experiences are that allow us to find an attractive person, right? Well ... According to a study by Laura Germine of Massachusetts General Hospital, this question depends on the people around us.

She explains that if, for some reason, we relate a person's face to information or a positive moment, that person automatically becomes more attractive to us. After that, we also found other faces attractive, with features similar to those of this first person.

Germine states that throughout our lives we know countless people and that our relationship with them makes us consider them attractive physical traits, so when we find similar traits in other individuals, we find them attractive. That makes sense, doesn't it?

Still according to Germine, the more accustomed we are to a person's face, that is, the more we live with her, the more we will find someone attractive. That's why sometimes you meet a new person, and because they don't have many similar traits to the people in your life, you find yourself less attractive.

In this sense, Germine says that the faces that are part of your life, your work environment, your friends, and your family can shape your beauty pattern without, of course, realizing it. So, does that make sense to you?
