What The Type Of Man You're Attracted To Says About Your Personality
According to a psychological study, people often choose who they are most attracted to based on the personality traits they desire most. By taking a closer look at the facial features you prefer in men, you can find out what you're really looking for in the relationship.
The study examined whether desired personality traits influence facial preferences and found that it does. The researchers created 4 types of faces based on different personality traits and tested whether or not people chose faces that matched the personality traits they wanted most. In most cases, the participants did. The study also stated that "possessing personality traits that are attractive may be causal in making a face attractive," so there could be a real correlation between a person's personality and their facial features. The 4 types of faces are below.
A. The Easy-Going and Open-Minded Type
Women who chose Option A prefer a man who is easy-going and open-minded. This type is characterized by relaxed facial expressions. These men have an easygoing demeanor and facial muscles that appear less tense, giving off an aura of approachability. Their smiles tend to be genuine and reach their eyes, indicating a welcoming attitude. They may not furrow their brows as often, suggesting a more laid-back approach to life. Their eyes convey warmth and curiosity, reflecting their open-mindedness and receptivity to new ideas.
Examples: David Beckham, Sean Lowe, Chris Pratt
B. The Decisive and Determined Type
Women who chose Option B prefer a man who is decisive and determined. This type is characterized by a strong jawline and a defined facial structure. Men with a decisive nature often have features that exude confidence and determination. Their eyes are often intense and focused, reflecting their resolve, and their mouth is generally set in a determined expression, and they carry themselves with a certain poise and self-assurance.
Examples: Scott Eastwood, Chad Michael Murray, Cillian Murphy
C. The Shy, Sensitive, and Agreeable Type
Women who chose Option C are interested in a man who is more shy, sensitive, and agreeable. This type is characterized by more subtle features. Men who are shy and sensitive have facial features that appear more understated, and they avoid direct eye contact or have a gaze that appears somewhat reserved, reflecting their introverted nature. Their smiles are usually more subtle and modest, reflecting their desire to avoid conflict. Their facial expressions convey a sense of empathy, reflecting their compassionate nature.
Examples: Tom Holland, Keanu Reeves, Timothée Chalamet
D. The Assertive, Direct, and Confident Type
Women who preferred Option D want a man who is assertive, direct, and confident. This type is characterized by strong, angular features. Men who are assertive and confident often have facial structures that appear more defined and prominent. They may have a penetrating stare that communicates their assertiveness and willingness to take charge, while their facial and body language exudes strength and self-assuredness. Their facial expressions are more intense and convey a sense of resolve and conviction.
Examples: Henry Cavill, Glen Powell, Ian Somerhalder
Many users on TikTok are saying the results of the study seem accurate and that the face they chose did match the personality traits they preferred.
