The Problem and its Background

Introduction
One of the human natures is to be attracted to something or someone that they find
beautiful or admirable. This is a fact that physical appearance is one of the main reason
we are being allure and impress to the people from social situations (Shukla, 2009).

Attraction is one of the aspects that changes our perspective in how we view things
around us and the actions we will do. Similar to men when they are attracted to women,
Men will have greater levels of adrenaline attraction that triggers them and arousal their
curiosity than women. That their personalities changes physically, emotionally, mentally
and even spiritually (e.g. Dutton & Aron, 1974). For instance, they enhances their physical
features such as maintaining a good posture and wear more descent clothes because
physical appearance is more important to humans and certain features appear to be
found attractive across individuals and cultures (A. Little, B. Jones and L. DeBruine, 2011)
because it boost their self-confidence and self-esteem. They also take the risk to have
fun with women by having a sense of humours like telling jokes as what men do usually,
being a gentleman that could give better image. Furthermore men had the guts to start a
person to person conversation to satisfy themselves. Specifically, getting women’s
contact number as their first move and to know each other better. In other cases men
tries to search their social media accounts and start to build a virtual conversation and
manage their public figures in social media such as posting photos, videos/audio and
written status where girls can relate in that way it could get the attention of the women.
Men always confess first their feelings if they are brave enough because in previous
research has indicated that by increasing the levels of emotional arousal you are also
increasing the amount of attraction between two individuals (e.g. Dutton & Aron, 1974;
Meston & Frohlich, 2003).

The researchers conducted this study to analyse the perception of men in dealing
with physically attractive women. Specifically this study understand men's behaviour with
their different personalities when it comes to handling themselves when they are attracted
