MAJOR: Psychology of attraction
COURSE: Hormones and hair
I know there’s research out there, but for now I can only write based on personal observation, and see what others think. When asked what men find physically attractive in women, most will respond their eyes, lips, smile, breasts, perhaps the ol’ rump. While few will say, “beautiful hair,” there is definately a preference people have for hair. In fact, hair and breasts might be the top two features that men instinctively eye-in-on. If looking at a woman from behind, many men will feel attracted or unattracted to a a girl based solely on their hair. “Look at that blond, she’s hot” vs. “Is that chick even a chick?”
I know girls have their preferences amongst guys as well, and many girls can also pick out an “attractive girl,” based on certain physical features. So, everyone can feel free to chime in on this.
Image is so many things to so many people.
If you get a chance, click on the link above. It’s for my company’s office in India. If you click on “About Us” and then “identity,” you’ll find these images:
Most of you don’t know a thing about my company, but those images, especially the top one of the interlocking hands, probably convey an image in your mind that makes you think or feel a certain way. Without knowing anything about the product or service, you’ve already formed a judgement.
When selling something, whether it be yourself to an employer, your product to a customer, your case to a jury…image is so many things. In order to get the things you want in life, you need to be aware of your image. When people see how you look, hear how you speak, and take in through various senses how you think, what reaction are people receiving?
Recently, thinking about image, I’ve been thinking about the importance of clarity. For example, in writing, a clear message is one that best passes an image or idea from my mind into the mind of my readers. If the message is unclear or cloudy, readers might get a different message from what I had hoped for.
Along with clarity of image, comes the ability to eliminate clutter. Clutter in writing, clutter in speech, clutter in image. A clean room, a clean resume, clean dress. Presentability…More to come, when my mind is a bit less cluttered.
