Eye Contact

Making eye contact makes your face more appealing whether you are a man or a woman. Psychologists have shown that the attractiveness of a face that you do not recongnise increases the brain activity in part of the brain that is linked to reward, the ventral striatum, when eye contact is made, and that the brain activity in this area is reduced when eye contact is not made; Kampe in the Journal Nature, 2001. Eye contact psychologically clearly increases the likelihood in people’s minds of getting a pleasant surprise or reward of some type!
