Romantic Ideas You Can Do At Home Infographic.

A word of advice for those looking to improve their dating life: Wear red.

Due to the themes we associate with the color red, it can affect how we perceive people.

A 2008 study by the American Psychological Association found that men rated women wearing red as more attractive, associating the color with sex.

A separate 2010 study by the same association, found women to associate the color red with power and status.

According to a study conducted in 2014 by Northwestern University and the University of Texas, you have the best chance of landing somebody more attractive than you if you’d known that person a significant amount of time before dating.

This also means you’re equally as likely to date somebody less attractive than you if you knew them for a long time.

Of the 167 Couples studied, people who started dating after a short period of knowing each other were more likely to be the same level of attractiveness.

What we learn from this is that the more you know somebody, the more you’re attracted to their character; not their looks.
