Sizing Up That ‘Look of Love’

When a woman walks into a crowded room, what her eyes do in the first few seconds may determine how attractive she is to any man meeting her gaze.

If she turns her eyes deliberately toward a particular man, he immediately rates her as more likeable and physically attractive, new research shows. If she glances at him but then turns her eyes away, that same man will rate her as considerably less sexy.

“Our impressions of others are influenced by these simple, nonverbal clues — and we are not objective in our assessments,” explained study author Malia Mason, a graduate psychology student at Dartmouth University.
