HUMAN ATTRACTION IS WEIRD AND CONFUSING—AND IT'S ABOUT WAY MORE THAN LOOKS

You're not just attracted ⁽⁰⁾ someone for ⁽¹⁾ brains or their brawn, or even just for their perfectly symmetrical face. Those things are all part of the equation that also includes that person's scent and voice. We've known for decades that attraction—and not just sexual attraction, mind you—has ⁽²⁾ components that fit together, yet it's a relatively under-studied area. Physical beauty's role has historically ⁽³⁾ far more central to the study of attraction. Symmetrical faces, specific chest-to-waist or hip-to-waist ratios, height—they've all been consistently tied to ⁽⁴⁾. How smells and speech factor in has been studied a lot less, and the research that's out there has gotten ⁽⁵⁾ attention.

So a group of ⁽⁶⁾ got together to examine three decades' worth of research on what olfactory and vocal cues bring to the equation. They published their review in Frontiers in Psychology on Thursday. Going on smell alone, both sexes can tell when their partner is healthy and if they're genetically and immunologically compatible, according to studies on the subject. Men tend to prioritize physical attractiveness more ⁽⁷⁾ women, who tend to prefer scent. Women can tell when a man is more dominant and when he's more attractive based on his natural ⁽⁸⁾, while men can tell when a woman is fertile. A person's voice gives similar cues, with the addition of traits like cooperativeness and physical strength. In case it wasn't obvious already, most of this research is ⁽⁹⁾ by nature. Sexual attraction ⁽¹⁰⁾ nearly all focus on male-female pairings, and if they do test female-female or male-male attraction it's generally as a comparison point, not a part of the main research.
