Women find men more attractive when they've just listened #music
Music is a global phenomenon and part of every culture, but the origins of music remain a long-lasting puzzle. Why do people invest so much energy, time and money in music? Several theories have been proposed, some of which highlight the biological and social aspects of music. Charles Darwin, for example, said in the context of his theory of evolution that music has developed through sexual selection. The motor and cognitive skills required for music making serve as an indicator of good genes and thus increase reproductive success.
Music and visual perception
In the current study, Marin and her colleagues examined the impact of musical exposure on the subjective evaluations of opposite-sex faces. Since music, especially before the advent of modern technology, has always been experienced in the here and now, and mostly in a social context, it is likely that music could positively influence the visual perception of faces. There is some evidence in the psychological literature that the so-called effects of arousal transmission can occur if two stimuli are processed consecutively. The processing of the first stimulus produces internal arousal, increased physiological activity, which is then attributed to the second stimulus. This usually unconscious mechanism can then affect our actions, in this case the choice of a partner.
