The results of a study conducted by Texas Christian University made a worldwide impact. The research, which reveals that everything is about appearance, almost proves that the phrase “inner beauty is important” is wrong.
In the research, experts suggesting that even attractive people have good immune systems, explained that they concluded that healthy people instinctively look for a healthy partner.
HOW WAS THE RESEARCH DONE?
Approximately 500 people were asked to rate the photos of 152 people without makeup, photoshop and expression. According to this; Men rated as more attractive by women were found to have higher rates of phagocytosis of so-called ‘natural killer’ cells, which can destroy virus-infected cells in their bodies.
A symmetrical face and bright eyes came to the fore at the beginning of the features that couples look for in each other the most. For the bright eyes feature sought in a partner, experts believe that this type of gaze is given importance because our brain is ready to seek healthy partners.
Research published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B has long suggested that people who look beautiful are healthier.
