Scientists: Tilting your head is key to looking sexy
Tilting your head boosts your sex appeal and makes you more attractive to the opposite sex, experts have found.Boffins claim their tests prove the simple action can play a significant role in how attractive we are to the opposite sex.
A team from the University of Newcastle in Australia asked people to rate the attractiveness of computer-generated 3D faces at different angles.
It was discovered women are more attractive if they tilt their face forward at an angle while men are most appealing when tilted backwards.
It's thought this could be because men are usually taller than women… said the researchers with their necks now tilted at bizarre angles.
"Human facial attractiveness from an evolutionary perspective has been extensively studied," said lead researcher, Dr Darren Burke.
"A gap in our knowledge, however, is the evolutionary origin of what is considered masculine and feminine about facial features.
"Our research investigated if looking at the face from different perspectives as a result of the height differential between men and women influenced perceived masculinity or femininity.
"he research found the way we angle our faces affects our attractiveness to the opposite sex."
