A recent survey conducted on Match.com polled almost 5,500 single adults to find what characteristics people are most attracted to.

Good teeth was the top result of the survey with 58 percent of men and 71 percent of women listing it as important.

“They have to have a good smile,” said Morgan Collins, a prenursing freshman, when asked what she first notices about people.

In addition to a nice set of pearly whites, grammar skills, hair and clothes comprised the top four choices for both men and women, according to the survey.

The survey also delved into the less tangible details that make relationships work.

The survey found that “treats me with respect” and “is someone I can trust and confide in” were the most common requirements in a relationship.

“It takes a lot for me to be able to trust someone,” said Casey O’Donohue, a geography senior. “I think trust and respect go hand in hand and you have to earn them both.”

Men put trust before respect by 6 percent, while women placed more emphasis on respect before trust by 7 percent.

The least important factor across the board in the survey was eagerness to marry.

Supply chain management freshman Ji Wook Kim said personal interests are an important factor for him.

“I’m interested in their interests, and if we have any similarities,” he said.
