According to a new study published in the journal Scientific Reports, researchers found that men receive an "attractiveness boost" when he's catching the eyes of other women.
The report looked at the preferences of women for a potential romantic partner by showing them images of men's hands, faces and a piece of art. After rating each man, the women were then shown the average rating by the rest of participants. Interestingly, after seeing what the rest of the group had rated the male individuals, females changed their answer based on this new information.
