Strangers were more likely to report experiencing love-at-first-sight with physically attractive others. In fact, one rating point higher in attractiveness on the scale that the researchers used corresponded with a nine times greater likelihood that others would report that "electric" love-at-first-sight feeling. | Strangers were more likely to report experiencing love-at-first-sight with physically attractive others.

One big caveat about this study is that it does not take any objective definition of love at first sight, while research has shown that distinct phenomena occur, at least in the brain (several biochemicals are triggered, and are connected to audacity and pair-bonding, for example). (See the following [https://www.medisite.fr//vie-de-couple-et-relations-amoureuses-couple-8-choses-qui-se-passent-dans-le-corps-lors-dun-coup-de-foudre.5624674.40877.html French article].) According to the abstract, this study is unaware of this: ''‘Love at first sight (LAFS) is a commonly known phenomenon, but has barely been investigated scientifically’''. (The brain studies may have appeared after, or the authors just did not know.) | |||
The subjective definition taken here is merely self-declarative; since love at first sight is actually rather unlikely to happen for a given individual when presented some strangers once, the subjects most probably interpreted ‘love at first sight’ as ‘being very attracted to’, and thus, the study most likely only detected (mere) heart-stoppers. On a side note, people that have never experienced genuine love at first sight can also understandably be mistaken when defining their mental state, so it would not be surprising that those that reported ‘love at first sight’ have actually just never encountered it. | |||
Therefore, the real conclusion of this study should be that ‘Spontaneous attraction / Heart-stoppers can be predicted by physical attractiveness’ — which is still interesting, but quite different if we want to be rigorous, especially as love at first sight has been shown by other research to be conducive to the happiest and most robust couples. | |||
