Seduction: the real fakes of physical attraction
For some women, physical attraction comes down only to the attraction that one can feel towards a pleasant physique. “We don’t call that physical attraction for nothing! »Louisa explains in a strong tone. “It’s the attraction of the physical! « . An argument that Margaux quickly refutes, for whom physical attraction is more a matter of sexual attraction than of physical beauty. “You can be physically attracted to someone you don’t necessarily find very beautiful. Moreover, it often happens that you are attracted to someone without knowing why! And then, if it was really the attraction of the physical, everyone would be attracted to the same people! « .

Similarly, in the United States, a whole new way to meet people has just emerged: pheromone evenings. Inaugurated this month in New York, the pheromones evening allows singles to meet people in an unusual way.
