The preferences of men are associated with the fact that they want to be confident in their potential paternity, researchers say.
According to genetics, parents with blue, gray or green eyes, most likely, will be born a bright -eyed baby. And the child will have brown eyes with a light -eyed and brown -eyed parent. All because bright eyes are a recessive sign, and brown eyes are a dominant gene that inhibits the manifestation of a recessive sign.
That is why, in order to increase their confidence in paternity, many fair -haired and bright -eyed men unconsciously choose a partner with recessive signs – with blond, inexpensive hair, straight nose, narrow nostrils, lips and gray, green or blue eyes.
This fact found confirmation in the latest study of the Italian scientist Paola Bressan. 1237 residents of Italy took part in her work, who identify themselves as heterosexuals or bisexuals who prefer female partners. Participants were shown 10 images of “attractive young European women with different eyes”. And they had to indicate which woman they would choose for short -term and long -term relationships and how, in their opinion, she is attractive.
The results of the study showed: fair -haired men in 68% of cases chose light -eyed women. And dark -eyed – in 58% of cases. Based on this, Bressan suggested that Men, especially light -eyed, when searching for long -term relationships, prefer women with bright eyes and consider them more attractive. And all because in the future it will help them be more confident in their
paternity.
