Love story or one night stand? follow his gaze

That's what saves us a good couple of minutes to spend the brain in the dishwasher to find out what this new Bob wants.

In fact, it's relatively simple:the gaze moves according to its objective. Result, if his eyes pass our body to X-rays it is that he rather wants to bite the apple, if his gaze focuses on the face, he leans more for a story. Finally, let's say that we will rub shoulders with it for perhaps more than an hour between two cushions.

The gaze does not express love or sexual desire in the same way

American researchers from the University of Chicago have carried out several studies on male and female students. They were subjected to different series of images. A first where heterosexual couples look at each other and a second with sexy models who turn their gaze towards the spectators. The students had to quickly express what these images inspired in them.

What do we learn?

Men or women, we process information at the same speed

Those who experience a feeling of love look at the face, those who feel sexual desire, the shapes of the body. And that goes for both men and women.

Obviously, we can raise our index finger by pointing out that love does not exclude desire (and fortunately) and that the expression "devouring with the eyes" for lovers remains relevant. We have also understood for a long time that when we look more at his muscular forearms and buttocks than at his face, it is that we prefer to go straight to dessert (which does not prevent us from living a romance elsewhere ). But a little clarification of science that formalizes everything and avoids future misunderstandings, we don't say no!
