吸引力
The Science of Attraction
by Susan Weinschenk, Ph.D. psychologytoday

Have you ever wondered why you find one person attractive and another person not? Two interesting lines of research give some clues:

Dr. Steven Gangestad studied the relationship between symmetry and attractiveness. People whose face and/or body is symmetrical (one side looks like the other side) are found to be more attractive. Symmetry is a sign that DNA is not damaged from oxidative stress. 

Claus Wedekind gave women t-shirts to smell that had been worn by men. The women rated the smell of men they liked and didn't like by smelling the t-shirts. Interestingly, the more different DNA was from the woman, the more the woman liked the smell of the t-shirt.

When I first read the book Genome by Matt Ridley, I was struck by the idea that our genes and our DNA were calling the shots—that our DNA is really controlling our behavior. Perhaps it is, and what more important way to influence us than to be involved in who we pass our DNA on to!

If you are interested in learning more you can watch this animated video on the topic of attractiveness that I narrated recently.

Questions:
Have you ever wondered why you find one person attractive and another person not?
Do you attract by nice guys or pretty girls?
Do you think our DNA is telling us who to find attractive?
Is appearances are always important?
How to make yourself more attractive to others
How to attract a girl/a man?
What kind of person do you like to make friends with?

Ways to Be a Smart Shopper Written by Ashley

1. Set a budget.
Limiting how much you spend on clothing is not only good for your wallet, but will prevent you from making frivolous purchases. Your budget could be $50, $100, or more depending on your personal finances, but set a monthly limit on clothing purchases– and stick to it!

If you have trouble keeping track of how much you spend, try using an online budgeting tool like Mint, which will alert you when you’re about to go over your monthly spending limit.

2. Buy what you need, not what you want.
Before you purchase something, ask yourself if you truly need the item or it’s just something you want to buy. Every few months, look through your closet and make a list of items that you need — like wardrobe staples — so you can easily differentiate your needs from your wants. Take that list with you when you go shopping to keep yourself from making unnecessary purchases.

Of course, it’s okay to buy some items just for fun every once in a while, but make sure you’ll actually wear these clothes and you aren’t getting them just for the sake of buying something.

3. Buy clothes on sale.
Have you bought an item for full price, only to spot it on sale a week or two later? If so, hear me out on this: when you see a full-priced item you want, wait until it goes on sale to buy it. It may seem like a pain, but waiting for the price of full-priced items will save you a lot of money in the long run.

Also, it’s a good idea to sign up for the e-mail lists of your favorite retailers or check out CF’s weekly Coupon & Sales posts, so you’ll be in the know about great sales and discounts that can save you even more money.
4. Choose quality over quantity.
Always opt to buy higher quality items over cheaply made clothing. Even though high-quality items are more expensive, they will end up lasting much longer. Saving up your money for a $70 cardigan is often a much smarter financial choice than blowing the same amount of money on three inexpensive tops that will fall apart after a few wears.

Additionally, learn how to calculate the cost-per-wear of clothing before you buy. You can do this by dividing the price of the item by the number of times you expect to wear it. For example, if you buy a trendy top for $20 that you’ll probably only wear twice, it will cost you $10 each time you wear that top. However, if you purchase a $100 pair of jeans that you’re likely to wear 50 times, the cost-per-wear is only $2.
Questions:
What are the ways to be a smart shopper?
Do you sometimes making unnecessary purchases?
How to set a budget? How to save your money?
Are you an impulsive buyer?
Do you choose quality over quantity when shopping?
Do you care the price of the item?
When you go shopping! Do you bargain with the seller?
Why people spending money on luxury goods?
