Forget the LBD, there's a new tool in your flirting arsenal: your voice. Research shows that women can manipulate their speech to sound even more attractive, according to a new study published in the Journal of Nonverbal Behavior.
Researchers at Albright College asked 40 college students (20 men and 20 women) to say numbers one through 10 in their normal speaking voice, then repeat them while manipulating their voice to sound more attractive (after that, they were also asked to adopt a tone that was more confident, more dominant, and more intelligent). Another set of 40 college students (20 men and 20 women) listened to all of the recordings and rated them for each of the traits. It turns out, women didn't think men sounded any more attractive when they were trying to be, but the opposite was true for women. Why?
