You recently split with your partner and still don’t understand why this happened? Maybe the reason lies in your musical preferences. According to the latest researches, taste in music can affect personal relationship between the partners.

In our youth, the music becomes a symbol that identifies the person’s identity and his belonging to a particular social group. We judge others on musical tastes and use music for expression. For example, a young man who wants to seem like uncompromising fighter, will listen to the music, featuring a rebellious context.

Music preferences help people to find a perfect balance between the desire to be the part of a group and desire to preserve their individuality. This is achieved through the preference of music style, which his friends like, and a selection of performers in this genre that are little known. Furthermore, music reflects our values: according to research, rock is associated with social activism and rebelliousness, and pop music – with an emphasis on gender roles and conformity. People who love jazz, Blues, classical or folk, generally are liberal in their views and more open to experimentation.

Interesting fact that the passion of women and men to country music makes them less attractive to the opposite sex. Love to classical music and rock has effects different on sexual interest depending on gender. So, men, who are listening to rock, seem for girls more sexy. And women prefer men who love classical music.

Japanese scientists made a research . It was found that if on the first date plays unobtrusive background music, this date will be more successful than that which takes place in silence. The reason is that music activates the limbic system (the part of your brain responsible for emotion) and contributes to more rapid convergence. In addition, the music itself makes people happier — and configures them to communicate with others.

Whatever music you prefer, the main thing that your tastes coincide with tastes of your partner, and then your Union has all chances of success.
