5: Be Beautiful
Ignore everything your mum told you about inner beauty- good- looking people are almost universally viewed as smarter, sexier and more successful than their homelier counterparts.
According to evolutionary social theorists, we value those attributes that improve the chances of successful reproduction, which is why men prefer younger women with long, shiny and hip measurements a third larger than their waists (all markers of youth, health and fertility), while women prefer taller, older men because they’re most likely to have the most resources to invest in offspring.

6: Home is where it’s at.
Forget about long distance romances: proximity rules. Being situated close to your potential love object whether at the next desk or in the next street- ensures repeated exposure, beneficial because the more we see someone, the more we like them (unless we strongly disliked them at first exposure, in which case the opposite is true). That’s why we so often end up with workmates or the boy/girl next door.

7:Avoid Comparisons
All that said, it seems that we gauge prospective partners against the prevailing norms, if the findings of Sara Gutierres and Douglas Kenrick of Arizona state university’s psychology department are to be believed. That researchers asked men to rate their dates’ looks after viewing playboy centerfolds or watching a TV show with pretty female stars. You guessed it: the dates rated worse after the show or centerfolds than before
this demonstrates a phenomenon called the contrast effect, whereby our perception of relative differences is distorted according to the order in which things are viewed. For example, if you look at a dark object after a light one, it will appear much darker than if you’d looked at it first or by itself.

8: Love at first fright
in the 1994 film Speed, Sandra Bullock tells Keanu Reeves, “ I’ve heard relationships based upon intense experiences never work out,” to which he replies, “ We’ll have to base ours on sex, then.”
The truth lies somewhere in between. The more aroused we are in the presence of a potential partner, the more attractive we’re likely to find them, as psychologists Cindy Meston and Penny Frohlich, of the University of Texas, found when they asked subjects to rate members of the opposite sex before and after riding on roller coasters. This effect- known as excitation transfer- is a misattribution of arousal; regardless of the cause of our thumping heart, if we ascribe it to the person we’re with, we feel attracted to her or him.

JOKES!!!

A young woman explains to the doctor that her body hurts wherever she touches it. To prove it, she pushes her chest with her finger and screams, and then pushes her elbow and screams louder. Pushing her knee, her shoulder and thigh is jest as bad. Everywhere she touches causes her great agony.
“ Hmm,” says the doctor. “ I think I know what this condition is.”
”Is it fatal?” asks the young woman nervously.
“No, you’ve goy a broken finger.”

A struggling actor walks into a zoo, looking for work. “The gorilla, one of our star attractions, has just died,” says the manager.” I’ll pay you $300 a day to dress in this monkey suit and pretend to be him.”
The actor agrees and spends the next few minutes in a cage amusing visitors. But they soon grow bored and move on to the lion enclosure next door. Desperate to keep his new job, the actor climbs up the wall and dangles jest out of the lion’s reach this infuriates the lion but delighted the visitors. The actor performs the stunt every day, drawing Hugh crowds. Thrilled, the zoo manager increases his wages to $500.
Then one day, the actor loses his grip and lands at the lion’s feet. It chases him round the cage until he starts screaming,” Help me! Help me!” the lion pounces. “Shut up you idiot,” it says. “Do you want to get us both fired?”
