QOVES Beauty Podcast Ep. 3 - Smell and Voice Do Matter For Overall Attraction : A Multimodal Framework of Attraction
🕑 Added 2021-06-10 08:54:53 +0000 UTCIn this episode we look at a paper by Groyecka Et al 2017 on how attractiveness is somewhat determined by non-physical cues of voice and smell among other factors such as personality, status and wealth. One of the key findings is just how important smell is, from being able to differentiate between men and women to being able to smell actual personality dominance from different scents. It's not surprise then that many masculine perfumes try to mimic this smell of dominance while feminine ones try to emulate pheromones of subservience and the reasoning behind it is a lot more nuanced than you may think!
Corpse Husband is a great example of how visual perceptions of a person are formed before ever meeting them from voice (and somewhat smell) alone.

I'd like to thank you guys , before saw your YouTube channel, I was actually thinking of shaving my prominent cheekbones down. I literally look like Grace Jones. That look isn't considered very attractive in Africa, but since I visited europe , I've gotten a lot of compliments on it. Africans prefer more rounded features in general. I didn't know that prominent cheekbones could be considered attractive before I saw your videos , so I'm glad this info got to me before I did something drastic.
