What makes zayn malik so attractive

To settle it once and for all, I asked an expert. Along with her colleague Ben Jones, Dr. When I told Dr. Debruine that I desperately needed to know whether Justin Bieber or Zayn Malik is more attractive, according to science, she first told me that "there is really no such thing as the 'objectively' most attractive person. There are, however, certain traits that people almost always find more attractive than others, she explained, over Skype. Symmetry, skin health, youth, and averageness are all part of the equation.

You find that people really like average proportions—noses that aren't too big or too small, eyes that aren't too big or too small, etc. Beyond averageness, Dr. Debruine said, highly attractive faces are those that are pulled in a particular direction.

In women, for example, feminine facial features larger eyes, slightly thicker lips, thinner eyebrows, and a smaller jaw are considered more attractive. But for men—erstwhile teen crooners included—it gets complicated.

Women have a great diversity in whether they find masculine traits hot or kind of gross. This is unique compared to other animal species. Whether one is into men with more masculine features or more feminine features is at the heart of where Justin and Zayn's perceived attractiveness diverge.

He has a more masculine texture than Justin, who has a more baby-faced look," Dr. Debruine says. As I feared, it turns out that choosing between Zayn and the Biebs is all down to preference. And that preference can even change within a person depending on the time of the month. During the most fertile period of the menstrual cycle, for instance, faces with masculine traits tend to appear more appealing. One day you could be all about Justin's angelic glow, and the next you could be obsessing over Zayn's cutting cheekbones.

With his long hair and cheeky smile, Zayn looked SO handsome in his black suit. He didn't look bad in his black t-shirt and sweat pants either though! Going from a onesie to a suit is no easy feat but somehow Mr Malik managed to make it look SO easy. And just check out that blonde strip in his quiff. Those were the days, right? Rocking a shirt and waistcoat one moment to a hoodie and tracksuit bottoms the next, Zayn can go from comfy to smart in one effortless move!

He needs to teach us his ways because we don't know anyone who can go from a smart blazer to a bomber jacket and baseball cap quite like him. See more One Direction News.
