Creative men can – so women think – afford to occupy themselves with things that do not immediately contribute to their livelihood, says Van Veen. “There are even researchers who say that’s how art came about. To seduce. You literally waste energy, after all, it’s better to go hunting and grow grain, then you can feed yourself.”
And what do men find attractive?
Conversely, men pay particular attention to whether women are fertile. According to Van Veen, men’s body proportions also say something about a woman’s fertility. “Men often want women to have a certain percentage of body fat. And energy also plays a role in men. Demonstrating your energy is very important in seduction processes.”
