Why do Women Need More Time to Develop Emotions for Someone than Men
The psychology of physical attraction
- What makes a person attractive?
- Why do women get attracted to certain types of men, and why do men get attracted to certain types of women?
According to the latest studies’ findings and the recent data coming from brain imaging studies, men get attracted to the most fertile woman. In contrast, women get attracted to the best caregiver or resource provider.
Both men and women were designed so that they get attracted to the person who will ultimately lead to a healthy family with many offspring.
All that attracts men to women were found to be signs of female fertility. Of course, men rarely realize this fact. Else, you would have found a man saying, “I love her; she is so fertile.”
Instead, men were coded so that they find the fertile woman more attractive without actually realizing that they were attracted to her because she is fertile.
The low waist to hip ratio, the full lips, the large eyes, small chin, and the feminine look are all indicators that reflect the good levels of female hormone a certain woman has.
Why do women need more time to develop emotions for someone than men
Because men were designed to get attracted to the most fertile women, most of them can pick up the woman of their dreams during the first meeting if not at first sight!
Women were designed differently! Instead of looking for the most fertile man, they were designed to look for the best caregiver or the best father for the children.
Of course, physical looks are important to women because they are a good indicator of good health and better quality genes but looks alone can’t tell if a man will become a good father.
That’s why women need more time to assess the personal qualities (including his personality and other resources) before they can tell whether he is the man of their dreams or not.
When it comes to developing feelings of attraction, men are like lighters, and women are like ovens. While a man can heat up instantly with a single push button, women need some more time to collect important data about the man who seems interesting before they can judge whether he can become a good future partner or not.
Long term vs. short term relationships
Studies found that women who seek a short-term partner put more weight on physical looks and usually get attracted to the macho man who appears more masculine.
Such women can take less time to develop feelings for such a man. On the other hand, it was found that women who seek a long-term partner take more time assessing that partner’s qualities before they get strongly attached to him.
In other words, a woman will spend more time assessing a man’s qualities if her ultimate goal was marriage.
