Why good-looking people are more “interesting”

Today’s society is all about looks. Good-looking people are easily forgiven for doing wrong things. It’s even a mistake for ugly-looking people to drink water. Tears, 嘤嘤嘤~~) Some people may not believe in this rule, and think that most people still pay attention to the beauty of the soul. I actually think so, but recently foreign media reported that according to research, good-looking people said that Jokes are easy to make people laugh. If a woman finds a man attractive, she will smile because of the man's joke. So what exactly is going on?

If you are looking for a humorous partner, their ability to tell jokes may not be as important as you think.

Because scientists say whether we laugh or not depends more on how much we like the person than whether they are actually funny.

Sophie Scott, a professor of neuroscience at University College London, said: "You often hear women say that I really like him and he always makes me laugh."

Actually, what she really wants to say is: He is so charming, and I laugh because I like him. This actually has something to do with how much they like that person.

She told the British Science Festival in Bradford that the smile appeared to have an evolutionary origin and still had "extremely important social significance".

She said: "You laugh with others to prove that you agree with them, and you are showing your favor to them, otherwise you will restrain your smile." ?

In an established relationship, smiling can also relieve tension, and couples who laugh together maintain their relationship better.

Professor Scott’s personal research found that a smile is different from a sweet sigh of contentment or a cheer of victory. Smiles are cross-cultural, and people from remote areas of Africa can tell if a Westerner is happy and vice versa.

She said: "The emotion of laughter seems to be part of our evolutionary history and part of our personality." Laughter seems to help us blend into every situation.

Professor Scott said: "This seems to be an emotion of great social significance." ?In all kinds of social situations, laughter is the easiest emotion to detect. You are 30 times more likely to laugh when you are with others than when you are alone.

If you know them, you will laugh more often. If you like them, you will laugh more often. If you ask people when they laugh, they will talk about jokes, comedy and humor. If you look at the timing of their laughter, you'll find that people laugh the most when they're interacting, which means people are actually most likely to laugh when they're having a conversation with other people.

What’s interesting is that you rarely laugh at jokes. ?

Professor Scott suggests that we take time to smile more. Some people go to see a comedy or do laughter yoga (a self-help group where people force themselves to laugh), she said, but there's nothing like having a good laugh with friends.

Professor Scott said: "In essence, laughter comes naturally from interaction, so I think you should take every opportunity to laugh with people who make you laugh." ?

Don’t think of it as a waste of time, it may be one of the best things you can do with your time. ?
