It seems that there really is something in the women's gait. Studies prove that men are able to identify a woman who is in the fertility stage, i.e., more likely to become pregnant. And you can do this by following the woman's walk. While it is not known, it is exactly the movement that a woman commits to making fertilization, but most likely it is the rocking of the thighs. To this conclusion came the German researchers from the University of Göttingen. And they were helped in this by the Beatles.
The study involved 48 young women who were filmed while they walked in a straight line and danced for half a minute each. Then the movements of these women were transformed into silhouettes so that their appearance would not distract from their movements. Such experiments were carried out twice. In the first case, women were in the fertility stage, i.e. The highest probability of becoming pregnant, and the second time the probability of pregnancy was close to zero. Next, 200 men were asked to view video records. They needed to look through all the silhouettes of women and determine how attractive their movements were to them.
The results clearly showed that there is something tempting in the female gait during the fertility of women. And the higher the chances of getting pregnant, the more attractive was the gait of women for men. Scientists suggest that this was hardly associated with speed. Most likely, it's about hips swinging. Thus, the female body itself sends subtle hints about its readiness to conceive.
