From the author: Practicing psychologist. Author of the “Territory of Development” project. I work as a consultant on social behavior and non-verbal communication. I am the author of publications in print and online publications. Sympathy arises at the level of barely noticeable movements of the soul, which will either develop or disappear before they have time to strengthen and evoke a stronger feeling. Sympathy consists of many factors. Over the history of its development, humanity has developed a number of symbols-signals that help us correctly navigate the process of the emergence of sympathy. The first thing a woman pays attention to is a man’s appearance and clothing. Clothes and shoes generally contain a lot of information about their owner. From the point of view of psychophysiology, the main thing that attracts or repels is the smell of a person; it has long been proven that it is the smell that is the trigger for the emergence of sympathy. A smell that we don’t feel, but our receptors pick up. From the receptors the signal goes to the brain, and then sensations and feelings arise. Therefore, it is believed that the first impression is the most correct, because it comes from the subconscious, in which there are no feelings. In addition to appearance, the emergence of sympathy is influenced by the social characteristics of a person, such as status, education, profession, and of course, what advantages he has the man himself. There are no trifles in the emergence of sympathy. Women prefer that the interlocutor looks into their eyes when talking to them. A smile sharply increases a person’s attractiveness; sympathy is also influenced by factors such as voice timbre, clarity of diction and clarity of thoughts. There is an opinion that women prefer men with well-developed muscles. Once upon a time, a long time ago, the stronger sex obtained food, were warriors and protectors. But now the ability to survive depends more on mental rather than physical abilities. Therefore, men who do not have luxurious muscle mass are no less successful with women. The degree of self-disclosure is also significant for sympathy. If a man is broad-minded, well-educated and has a healthy sense of humor, then he has a better chance of capturing the attention of the woman he likes. And remember, no matter how strong and impregnable a woman is, in her soul there lives a little girl who believes in miracles and dreams that life will be filled with magic with the appearance of HER MAN.
