Nice study. All things we know already, but it never hurts to review the basics and grow deeper in faith.

"We tested the causality of postural expansion (vs. contraction) on attraction using a popular Global Positioning System-based online-dating application. Mate-seekers rapidly flipped through photographs of potential sexual/date partners, selecting those they desired to meet for a date. Mate-seekers were significantly more likely to select partners displaying an expansive (vs. contractive) nonverbal posture."

Example pics below. Be like the guys on top. Don't be like the guys on bottom.
