Want to meet the perfect beau? Follow tips

This one really cracked me up.
Scientists have found six steps to land the perfect partner. The methods, published in the New Scientist magazine, are based on a variety of studies:
Experience fear togetherA 1970s experiment showed members of the opposite sex looked more attractive to people who had just got off a rollercoaster.
Body languageWhen strangers meet, 55% of their impression is based on appearance and body language. Mirroring posture may help, but no folding arms.
MusicPsychologists at North Adams state college, Massachusetts, discovered women found men’s pictures more attractive when they were listening to soft rock.
ChemistryThe chemical phenylethylamine is found in chocolate. It is also linked to the effects of exercise, as is dopamine, which produces a feeling of euphoria.
Eye contactMeeting another person’s gaze stimulates the parts of the brain associated with rewards.
JokesWhen strangers laugh together, they bond. Laughing is thought to release endorphins into the body, promoting a sense of well-being.
