Are you attractive yet educated? Then, you are more likely to be heterosexual!

A research conducted by the American Sociological Association has revealed an obvious link between physical attractiveness, beauty and sexual orientation. The more good looking and beautiful you are, fitting to the set societal norms, the more you are expected to get into a relationship with an opposite sex. The research is followed by intense controversy on social media and homosexual advocates.

The research was conducted under the leadership and supervision of Dr. Elizabeth Aura McClintock from the University Of Notre Dame, who concluded that social factors, including the societal setup along with the past romantic experiences cause women to deviate their thinking and form their sexual identity on the basis of the mentioned factors. This, in due course proves that female sexuality tends to be malleable and more accommodating.

The research comprised 5,018 women and 4,191 men who were profoundly observed and investigated during the transition from adolescence to adulthood. The entire research revolved around the fact that women seem to have assorted options while talking about relationships. They, thus, have greater chances of being enticed to both the sexes. Therefore, the greater the flexibility in a relationship, the greater the environmental factors and social elements are preferred and given weightage to.

Dr Qazi Rahman at King's College London also pondered upon the same topic, but took help from a different perspective. His results were based on the trials done, practically. For example, using stimuli and then calculating the findings based on the reaction of the subjects, as according to Rahman, the method used by McClintock is partially not reliable as subjects are occasionally seen duplicating their views.

As for men, the case is different. They are most likely to claim "100% homosexual/heterosexual" irrespective of their physical attractiveness or features. The reports also suggested that highly educated men are less likely to bond in a same sex relationship. According to McClintock, the whole debate is not to advocate heterosexual relationships, but rather to point out how essential social aspects and romantic experiences are for women, when it comes to long lasting affiliations.
