Men are more attracted to women whose bone structure is similar to that of their mother’s. Researchers call this “sexual imprinting,” which means that faces we find attractive as adults are usually the ones we were used to seeing when we were children.

People may look more attractive when someone is drunk because the drunk person is less likely to notice the asymmetry of a face.

Women perceive men with beards as having “the biological and social qualities that would enhance their value as husbands” and also consider them “more potent and more active, suggesting virility as well as physical attractiveness.”

According to most online dating sites, it seems that women are most concerned with a potential partner’s height, while men are more concerned with their potential date’s weight.

Humans usually agree on who is and isn’t attractive, regardless of race, ethnicity, and culture. Researchers have noticed that attraction is not merely in the eye of the beholder, but that there are universal standards of attractiveness.

Researchers have discovered that women prefer masculine-looking men when they are ovulating, but at other times they seek men with softer features because they consider them kinder in terms of social behavior.

To the ancient Hebrews and Christians, physical beauty was a reward from God and ugliness was a punishment. In fact, physical attraction is mentioned a number of times in the Bible. For example, in 2 Samuel 14:25, it says, “Now in all Israel there was no one who was praised as much as Absalom for his good looks.”

Believe it or not, but becoming attractive has become a profitable industry in most of the West, with $200 billion spent annually globally. This “industry” includes weight-loss programs, cosmetics, skin and hair care, perfumes and cosmetic surgery, among other products.

Women are usually more attracted to older men than they are to younger ones. Researchers explain that this is because men are capable of fathering children for nearly their entire adult lives, and older men typically have more resources.

In most cultures, males find younger females more attractive than older ones, mainly because women are able to reproduce for only a limited time.

Dr. David Buss, an evolutionary psychologist, recorded mating preferences for more than ten thousand people from thirty-seven countries and cultures and concluded that a woman’s looks was at the top or near the top of every man’s list.

In order to become more beautiful or to maintain their beauty during the Middle Ages, wealthy and noble females would swallow arsenic or dab bat’s blood on their skin to improve their complexion.

Aristotle was one of the first people who realized and recorded the importance of human attraction; he noted that “personal beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of reference.”

TV news producers will usually report on the case of an attractive victim rather than an average-looking individual.

To a child, physical attractiveness is often associated with being smarter and friendlier. That’s why when a child picks their friends, they usually go for the smarter and kinder ones.

Attractive politicians typically receive more news coverage than less attractive ones.

Someone who is accused of raping an unattractive victim is less likely to be found guilty than one accused of raping an attractive victim.

Physically attractive people tend to have better-paying jobs in higher-level positions than their less attractive counterparts. This preference is usually referred to as “beauty bias.”

Researchers suggest that a highly attractive woman is perceived as less capable of meeting a job’s requirement concerning its masculine qualities than an unattractive woman.

A study has shown that college students tend to rate their teacher’s performance more on the basis of physical attractiveness than on their ability to communicate.

The offspring of a couple in their thirties or even older tends to find mature faces more attractive than a child born to parents in their twenties.

Birth control pills can affect both a woman’s hormone levels and to whom they are attracted.

Men with more masculine characteristics are linked to having higher testosterone levels, being more aggressive, and having higher-than-average divorce rates.

Regardless of how many sexual partners someone has been with, the more attractive a new sexual partner is, the less likely a person will be interested in using protection during sex.

Teachers expect better-looking students to perform better than the rest of the class; a fact that often leads to less punishment and better grades.

Only three years old, Karina survived ELEVEN days lost in the Sakha Republic, all thanks to her loyal pup. The nameless canine hero cuddled with her for nine days, until he left to go find humans and get them to follow him back to the little girl.

Karina’s mother had thought that she’d followed her father, who had gone to his native village. With no phones to make sure, you can imagine the mother’s shock when her husband returned alone.

On the ninth day Karina was missing, the dog came home.

Her parents worried that she’d have no one to keep her warm at night.

The dog led the rescuers straight to her hiding spot.

While she understandably didn’t want to talk too much about her experience, she told her parents that she’d been eating wild berries and drinking water from rivers.

Though she was hungry and bitten-up by insects, Karina was in shockingly good condition.

Thanks to her dog, she’s safe and sound.

What a lucky girl to have such a brave and caring friend!

What is your body’s largest organ? It’s not your brain. It’s not even your colon or liver. It’s actually your skin.

Skin is amazing in it’s many functions in relation to the body. It protects us, warms us, and cools us. It’s a vitally important organ. Once you realize how many functions your skin has, and what can go wrong if something happens to your skin, you’ll be inspired to keep your skin is in the best condition possible. There are many fascinating things about this gigantic organ that many of us don’t think twice about.

Your skin is home to thousands of microscopic mites. Sure it’s freaky, but they also help keep your skin healthy.

Ouch! While sun is good for your skin, too much sun is really bad for it. Over-exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays can cause painful skin conditions and sometimes permanent damage.

Liver spots and other similar blemishes are the results of problems with melatonin productions. Though many of these blemishes are benign, they should still be watched and check periodically by a physician.

Those with pale skin simply don’t produce melatonin that often, unless they are exposed to intense sunlight, which leads to freckles.

Acne is a skin condition when white and black heads are constantly present on a person’s skin. Many experience acne as teenagers during puberty, but some can experience acne in adulthood as well.

Pimples are the result of a clogged pour not being able to reach the surface of your skin leading to a further infection which can be painful.

Blackheads are the result of dead skin cells and sebum (oil) clogging your pores. Regular cleansing and exfoliations can help remove excess skin cells and sebum.

Cellulite occurs when the fat cells redistribute themselves under your skin, making the fat cells more noticeable.

 Ingrown hairs can be very painful, and occur when a hair gets stuck inside of the pore it is supposed to exit.

 Wrinkles happen to everyone. As we continue to use our skin, and as we get older, our skin loses it’s elasticity, which leads to wrinkles.

 Luckily there are things you can do now to promote the health of your skin in the long term. Regularly moisturizing, using oil combating masks, and even putting a little sunscreen on your face everyday can go a long way in maintaining your healthy skin.

The post 26 Epic People And Acts That Restored My Faith In The Entire Human Race appeared first on Barnorama.

When Voorhes found the brains, they were all tucked into a seemingly forgotten storage closet inside the University of Texas State Mental Hospital.

When photographer Adam Voorhes was on assignment for Scientific American, he never expected to fall in love with a collection of preserved human brains.

In 2011, Voorhes stumbled upon an extensive collection of 700 human brains, all preserved in formaldehyde in a forgotten corner of the University of Texas Mental Hospital. He then became obsessed with it, and began photographing each of the specimens two years later.

The brains were preserved in jars of formaldehyde, and are rare, malformed, or damaged in some way.

After his accidental discovery of this forgotten treasure trove, Voorhes became obsessed with them.

In 2013, he began a painstaking process to document every brain in the collection using close-up, high resolution photographs. This format allowed Voorhes to show off the otherworldly qualities of these brains from so long ago.

During the photography process, Voorhes had to work with a respirator and gloves. This was the only way the brains could be safely handled.

However, merely photographing the brains wasn’t enough for Voorhes. He had to know how and why they were in the basement.

This is when he enlisted the help of veteran journalist Alex Hannaford.

The two sifted through decades of documents from the university, looking for the real story behind the brains.

From their research, we now know that this extensive collection of rare human brains was the subject of a bitter fight between the University of Texas and other rival colleges (including Harvard). Ultimately, the University of Texas won, and the collection came to them.

Because of the work of Voorhes and Hannaford, there is a rush of renewed interest in the collection.

The University of Texas at Austin is now having the entire collection of brains undergo MRI scans so that they can be taught to students at the university’s new medical school.

This therapist didn’t think things through.

Making mistakes is part of being human. It’s important to realize when you make a mistake, that way you won’t do it again in the future. … it’s also important to notice when you make a mistake so that you don’t end up walking around and making yourself look silly. (Even though it’s hilarious for everyone else.)

These people failed so hard when making these designs and signs, but no one cared to correct them. It’s hard to say what makes this so funny: the mistakes themselves, or the fact that no one is changing them. Warning: do not proceed if perverted mistakes don’t make you laugh.
