Dancing and Attraction
The psychologists have made an impressive discovery in the field of love. Apparently they have realized that there are certain dance moves that a man can make in order to win the hearts of the ladies. It has been discovered that the speed of the knee and the variety of movements of the neck and torso are the things a man should master if he would like to become the next Casanova.
The custom of attracting a female through dancing is very usual in the animal kingdom. The dance moves will show the female animals that the male is healthy, and that he has lots of skills. The male animals go through a lot of dancing in order to prove that they are worthy of procreating with the females. Often these trials and tests are difficult and enduring, but the record is held by the male spiders that often have to dance for 100 minutes until the female can decide whether to kill or to mate with it. Talk about risks.
The situation is even more complicated for those spiders, as they will die anyway, before or after procreating. It seems that in their case, the dancing can have awful consequences as well. Dancing can be sexy in the case of the animals, so the scientists figured out that the activity can have the same effect in the case of the humans. Because of that they wanted to find out exactly what movements trigger the attraction in women, as if they were programmed to respond to certain movement just like a robot is designed to respond to a code. The Psychologists at Northumbria University in England filmed 19 male volunteers with ages 18 to 35, while they were dancing to a German dance track. According to the scientists, this is the rhythm one would hear in the clubs. You should know that none of them were professional dancers.
The men wore 38 small reflectors all over their body in order for the 12-camera system to be able to detect any movement, and to recreate it on the computer. The system is similar to the one used in movies or in the case of video games, were a person is used to represent the movements of the players for example. The scientists also asked 35 heterosexual women to rate the dance moves of these men, watching a 15 second clip of each performance. Thanks to the suit the men wore, the women could not rate their dance based on the physical attractiveness. The women had to rate the dances from 1 to 7, one being extremely bad, 7 being extremely good.
The ladies considered the men who had wider neck and torso movements to be more attractive than the other ones. Researcher Nick Neave, a psychologist at Northumbria University stated that this was the first objective research that proved what differentiates one good dancer from a bad one. He believes that men from all over the world would be interested in finding out the dance moves that would make the girls go wild and fall in love with them. Leaving the joke aside, it has been proven that bad dancing can get you nowhere with the ladies, even when you are in a club. Apparently a bad dancing sends signals to the ladies telling them that you are a bad mating partner. Everything happens at a subconscious level, and it tells the woman that you have low testosterone levels which would make you unsuitable for her baby standards.
In case you are very bad at dancing, try to improve it, or try to stay away from it, because it will make the woman think that you have a bad DNA. You have higher chances of hooking-up with a woman if you do not dance at all, instead of dancing and making a joke out of yourself. However, by following these rules you might catch the attention of the ladies. The bending and the twisting movements of the right knee will catch the attention of the ladies. The explanation for this is that 80 percent of the people are right-footed, which means that they put their weight on the left leg and use that leg as an anchor in order to allow the right leg to pull fancy moves. Neave suggested that the finding is strange, and that it will need more investigation.
They have found out the areas which the women look at when the men dance, and if the men want to be successful at dancing, they need to use those areas in the proper manner. Dancing in a good manner, the man signals that he is healthier and that he is more attractive. The problem is that most of the males shy away from dancing, especially when it comes to being recorded to dance. Neave told that it is very difficult for them to convince the men to sign-up for the study, as most of them are afraid that the dance will put them in an embarrassing situation. Speaking of embarrassing situations, it seems that the technique of “dad dancing” is more complicated that anyone believed.
In case you do not know what a dad dancing is, then the next time you go to a wedding, look at that old man dancing to new songs. You know him, that’s the guy who used to rock the dance floor when he as younger, but at the older age, all he does is look awkward. Well, it has been proved that the dad dancing has its role. It seems that it causes the focus of the women, so that it makes the situation of the young men better. You see, when the old man is dancing on the dance floor, the young men will look better at dancing, because no matter how bad they dance, the old man dances worse than them. This makes it easier for the younger men to attract the women. Who said science can not be fun?
