It’s easy to see his love signs: A long gaze, a lingering kiss, but how long does it take for a man to fall in love?
Apparently less than 10 seconds, according to a report in the journal
Archives of Sexual Behavior.
Scientists claim it takes men just 8.2 seconds to fall head over heels.
They say the longer a man gazes at a woman the more interested he is. This is according to the
U.K.’s Daily Telegraph.
For the study, scientists used hidden cameras to secretly track the eye movements of 115 students as they spoke to actors and actresses.
They found men looked into the eyes of actresses they considered beautiful for an average of 8.2 seconds, but that dropped to 4.5 seconds when they were looking at someone they were not attracted to.
The researchers believe men use eye contact to find fit and fertile partners.
The story for women is not the same.
The study revealed they let their eyes linger on men for the same length of time whether they found them attractive or not.
