Physical Attraction

Paper Summary:

Physical attraction affects nearly every aspect of human life, from choosing partners to influencing attributional perceptions. Since physical appeal plays a huge role in the attraction between opposite sexes, there has been much study devoted to this aspect in particular. This paper refers to Amanda Gardner's article, "Opposites Don't Always Attract," which discusses the outcome of research that tries to explain physical attraction in a generalized manner. The paper examines just how important physical attractiveness is in order to find a partner.

From the Paper:

"However it is virtually impossible to generalize human relationships into standard rules or definitions, as in real life situations there are more complex factors to be considered. Finally we cannot ignore the character of a person when we discuss the attraction between the opposite sexes. A person beaming with inner beauty though lacking in external appearance may appeal more to the opposite sex."
