Daily Fit Tip: Get a great personality (you'll be sexier!)

Posted on Dec 7th 2007 6:00AM by Rigel Celeste
The age-old idea of beauty being on the inside seems to be based, at least partially, in scientific truth. Researchers have found that personality really does make people more or less physically attractive to the opposite sex.

A group of college students was asked to rate photographs of men and women on a scale of 1-10 for attractiveness. Then at a later time they were asked to rate the same photos again, but this time personality traits came with each picture (either good or bad) and their ratings changed dramatically. Positive traits like being funny, honest, and helpful gave people a huge boost, while negative traits dropped them down significantly on the sex appeal scale.

So although being healthy and fit certainly plays a big part, it seems if you really want to be sexy paying some attention to your personality may be in order also!
