5 Facts That May Help You Attract Your Next Partner

Are you single? It doesn't matter if you're single and looking, or single and fed up; there is a story in Business Insider that’s been making its rounds, which might help shed some light on attraction.

The story cites different research sources that help explain the mystery that is attraction.

Here are just a few:

1. We tend to be attracted to people who look like us.
2. We are attracted to people who remind us of our parents.
3. Playing hard to get actually works when it comes to long-term relationships. This one is explained by this simple line, “Less available people are seen as more desirable.”
4. Men find women who wear red more attractive.
5. Pick up lines do not work. A simple “Hi” or “Do you want to dance?” works better than any cheesy pickup line that can be found online.

So, for the women reading this, if you're heading out this weekend wear your red, play hard to get, and don't accept any cheesy pick up lines!
