Interesting article...
Want to be more attractive? Change how you walk
A team of researchers at New York University recently conducted a study examining the perceived attractiveness of individuals based on movement. What they found out may (or may not) surprise you.
Women who were perceived as the most attractive tended to sway their hips when they walked. The most attractive men, on the other hand, tended to move their shoulders from side to side in a masculine swagger.
Aside from telling us that attractiveness is closely associated with typically feminine and masculine movement, the study somewhat complicated the long held notion that sex appeal for women was based on a waist-to-hip ratio. While figure plays into the equation, the study concluded that hourglass-shaped women like Jennifer Lopez or Marilyn Monroe rely more on their feminine walk than on their revered hip-to-waist ratio.
