Each person in his life is trying to find his soul mate. However, this is not so simple. And very often all searches end in failure. Now it became known that people with a sense of humor, and also cheerful and playful persons have more chances to find to themselves the spouse or the spouse. Moreover, one of the points in choosing a potential spouse is the ability to play games. A new study shows that the demonstration of playfulness is a special strategy chosen in the search for a life partner.
A team of US scientists interviewed 250 students, and as a result, it became known that the most important characteristics in the search for a long-term partner were "humor", "fun" and "playfulness." Playful behavior can bring evolutionary benefits, demonstrating such positive qualities as non-aggressiveness or youth of potential long-term partners.
Just as birds are attracted by bright plumage or coloring, men can attract women by showing off expensive cars or clothes. Men's play can also serve as a signal that this person is not aggressive and will not cause pain to a woman or her offspring. The ability of women to play also means non-aggressiveness, and also indicates its youth and fertility.
