Welcome to this week’s instalment of Amanda Zips It Up.
Summer is deeply embedded, with a heatwave sweeping across Britain and most of Europe, so it’s time to bare some flesh. This can either be an exciting or a concerning prospect. Especially as one gets older. Not everyone wants to be letting it all hang out in shorts or bikinis.
It got me thinking, does the sight of bare skin instantly attract the opposite (or same) sex?
According to a survey, it doesn’t. EYES are the sexiest feature by far, followed by bums, boobs, legs and lips. Yes, more than a third of the survey said that eyes were the biggest turn-on. This was followed by mouth and lips and then legs. Only 6% of people think that breasts or muscular chests are the most desirable. And 2% loved feet above all else. Yuck.
Eye lovers mostly opt for blue irises – with 39% finding them the most attractive. 17% preferred brown whilst 13% go for green. I have green eyes, and did you know that only 5% of the world’s population have greenies? I’ll take that all day.
Whatever the colour, more than 9 in 10 said eye contact was the most important interaction and claimed it can create a deep and meaningful bond.
Out of 2,000 people who participated in the survey (conducted by Optical Express), 81% said they fell in love with someone’s eyes before anything else.
So, don’t worry if you don’t fancy getting the shorts or bikini out – your eyes are the window to your soul.
