9 Unbelievable Things That Can Make You More Attractive, According to Science

Watching horror movies together

Many people plan their dates at the cinema and some of them choose a horror movie, even though they don’t know the scientific explanation behind it, right? It seems that after the dating that took place at the cinema and after watching horror movies together, people are more likely to form a relationship.

Paradoxically, horror movies are more effective in seducing your potential partner than romantic movies. According to many studies, the explanation is that people usually tend to mistake feelings of fear for arousal and this can lead to attraction. In psychology, this process is also called ‘misattribution of arousal’. In other words, when you are scared and experience various psychological responses related to fear, your heart rate increases and you will also experience shortness of breath, which are often similar to those feelings that occur when you are attracted to someone.

So, if you want to impress your potential partner, take him or her on a horror movie date and you will be more likely to become a couple afterwards.
