7 things that attract men the most, according to science

7 things that attract men the most, according to science

All the science-proven things about you that drive men crazy the most.

A great smile is one of the 7 most attractive things about women.  (The List)

If you've ever wondered what attracts men to you the most, these seven things are the answers you have been looking for!

1. Facial symmetry

This is when the left side of your face matches the right side of your face and vice versa, with things matching up perfectly from one side to another and according to researchers this is a lot more atrractive as well.

2. Lips

Results from a study at Manchester University found that lips are a woman's most attractive physical attribute.

To agree with this, all you need do is consider just how gorgeous you look especially when they have red lipstick.

3. Strong eye contact

Forget that saying about the eyes being the window to the soul, because they're also the door to keeping a lover's attention. Turns out your pupils dilate a little more when you're attracted to someone. The kicker? People are apparently super attracted to dilated pupils. Lesson learned: never miss an opportunity to fixate your eyes at your intended bae.

4. Great teeth

Research suggests that straight, white teeth are very attractive, too. And what makes this particularly important can be seen in number 4 below.

5. Beautiful smiles

Another study suggests that men are so drawn to women who smile a lot.

This is pretty right too as smiling obviously makes women beautiful than moping and frowning. men are significantly more attracted to women who smile. It's not like you'll be reeling them in with a grimace.

6. A higher-pitched voice

High-pitched voices are apparently sexier. Researchers suggest it's because higher voices suggest a smaller body size, which our society deems more attractive.

7. Colour red

A certain study of color stereotypes included two photos of the exact same woman. She wore blue in one picture and red in the other, posing the same way in both. According to the results, the photo of the woman in red was rated as more attractive and sexually desirable.

This apparently explains why red lingerie is in high demand.

Nikki Bella Surprises Fiance John Cena and Takes Him to Prom After He Missed His Own: Watch!

Nikki Bella Surprises Fiance John Cena and Takes Him to Prom After He Missed His Own: Watch!

The Ellen DeGeneres Show

Nikki Bella gave her fiancé John Cena the sweetest surprise on Friday’s The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Cena was on the show promoting his new film Blockers, about a group of kids who decide to lose their virginity on prom night and their parents who try to stop that from happening.

When host DeGeneres asked Cena about his own prom, he admitted he’d never been, saying he was “dead broke” and chose the night to earn some money instead of attending the traditional dance.

To rectify this loss, the 34-year-old Total Bellas star was hiding backstage and DeGeneres put on a prom redo for Cena, 40, with his future bride as his date.

“I hate surprises but I love this one!” Cena declared, rushing over to Bella to give her a sweet kiss.

The couple ended up being king and queen of the prom, taking several cheesy photos and slow dancing a foot apart while laughing with one another.

“We can’t dance like this at our wedding!” Bella insisted.

The Ellen DeGeneres Show

Earlier in the episode, Cena opened up about proposing to Bella during WrestleMania.

“I was super nervous, but I was definitely ready to ask her and that’s a big change of opinion for me. It took me a long time to get to that point, five years,” he admitted.

Cena noted that his nerves were mostly centered around the fact that he didn’t know how the enthusiastic WrestleMania audience would react.

“Sometimes they control the program,” he said. “So I didn’t want 75,000 people to stand up and go, ‘No, no, no!’ Because as performers we often get up in the moment and I didn’t want her to look around and [see that].”

Thankfully it all worked out and the couple is in the process of planning their big day.

“We are both planning that and by that I mean I say ‘OK’ to things she asks,” Cena quipped.

He also noted that while he has some nudity in his new film Blockers and has previously been nude in the comedyTrainwreck, Cena has to get the OK from Bella first.

“I do now,” he joked of asking Bella’s permission, adding, “because for theTrainwreck one I did not. I was like, ‘Ah, it’ll be fine!’ I was wrong. So that was a problem and that ended up being a tough discussion and now we review all the material that is thrown in my direction and we come to the conclusion that it will be OK.

Man who secretly buried lover arrested by police in Ogun

Man who secretly buried lover arrested by police in Ogun

The Police in Ogun State have arrested a 36-year-old man one Musiliu Owolabi, for allegedly secretary burying his lover,  Fausat Idowu.

The suspect was said to have taken the deceased, a mother of five, to hotel for pleasure when she suddenly fell ill and eventually died.

The State Police Commissioner, CP Ahmed Iliyasu, said the suspect,  a mechanic secretly buried her lover in an uncompleted building at Osara village, off Abeokuta-Ibadan Expressway.

Iliyasu said the suspect was arrested following a report to the police by the younger brother of the deceased, Hammed Idowu, that his sister who went for a naming ceremony at Bode Olude area of Abeokuta, was no where to be found.

The CP said that following the report, detectives at the Homicide Section, were directed to investigate the matter.

He added that the deceased’s telephone call log was profiled through technical and intelligence investigation and the suspect was the last person that spoke with her.

Iliyasu said: “On interrogation, the suspect admitted taking the deceased to Rocky Gold Hotel at Iyana-Apakila, Abeokuta for pleasure, where he claimed she fell ill and later took her in his vehicle, but died under a mysterious circumstance in the car.

“He further confessed that he took the corpse to a nearby bush, dug a shallow grave and buried it without disclosing same to anybody. This made the circumstances of her death mysterious as well as questionable, which is condemnable. The suspect will soon be arraigned before a court of competent jurisdiction”.

The suspect confessed to the crime while speaking with newsmen, saying that the deceased had been her lover for six months.

He narrated that both of them were about to “enjoy” themselves when she developed temperature and that he had to take her to a nearby hospital before the unfortunate happened.

“I did not inform the Police or anyone about the incident. I became apprehensive and decided to hide the corpse and later buried her at the midnight.”
