People Born In April Are The Sexiest According To New Research

A study looking into which is the most attractive birth month has revealed that people born in April are the sexiest - and having a birthday in April myself, I’m obviously completely sold on the theory… 

Researchers at FROM MARS have revealed the months of the year as well as the star signs that produce the 'best-looking'' people out there.

How do we know the most attractive birth month?

Now, obviously how attractive someone is is an incredibly subjective topic, so how on earth have they come to this conclusion? Well, it’s based on '500 of the world's sexiest celebrities'.

FROM MARS have taken lists of the sexiest male celebrities and sexiest female celebrities from Ranker and then taken their birthdays and star signs to separate them out. 

Then all they do is work out which month most of the birthdays fall in, and there you have it - your sexiest birth month! It may not be the most scientific approach, but when it works out in your favour you gotta run with it right!?

Which are the top 5 most attractive birth months?

So, if you’re wondering where on the scale of attractiveness your birth month ranks, here’s the full list: 

April is actually pretty far out in front when it comes to the most attractive birth (I guess us April babies are just born beautiful) month rankings with 60 of the world’s sexiest celebs having their birthdays that month, putting it nine clear of second placed August with 51.

So, which paradigms of beauty are we talking about here? Well, celebrities with April birthdays include Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Emma Watson, Gal Gadot, Sam Heughan, Paul Rudd, Robert Downey Jr, Ana de Armas and Saoirse Ronan - a pretty sexy list right there. 

Second placed August boasts the likes of Chris Hemsworth, Halle Berry and Blake Lively, while in third place, February features the striking figures of Harry Styles, Michael B. Jordan and Rihanna to name a few.

At the other end of the sexy scale we’ve got May, July and June, with 33, 30 and 29 sexy celebrity birthdays respectively. However, with world’s sexiest man (according to Ranker) Johnny Depp, the ageless Liz Hurley and Captain America himself Chris Evans all having June birthdays, it’s not all doom and gloom down there… 

But is there actually anything behind all this? A 2013 study published in the Journal of Education, Culture, and Society looked into the link between the season in which Polish women were born and their perceived attractiveness.

The team gathered photos of 5,294 women between 21 and 23 years old, and after assessing each of the images, their results showed that those who had been born in spring (specifically, May) received higher attractiveness ratings than those born in the autumn months.

Why are people born in spring the most attractive?

The study's authors suggest this could be because children born in the first six months of the year are generally healthier.

Amongst the Polish population, immunoglobulin levels are at their lowest during summer and autumn, meaning children born during these months are at a higher risk of getting sick. On the flip side, the healthiest babies (who will grow up to also be the most attractive) are those born February-May (when their immunoglobulin levels are high).

On top of this, the researchers suggest that a pregnant woman's diet during the Polish winter months lacks several nutrients, and as a consequence, babies born in autumn who are then breastfeeding aren't as healthy as those born earlier in the year.

But then surely the reverse would be true for countries in the southern hemisphere where the seasons are flipped - April is autumn, not spring. So if the attractiveness or 'health advantage' is tied purely to seasonal environmental factors (like sunlight or nutrition during pregnancy), the same seasonal effect would likely shift six months.

That means, in theory, babies born in southern hemisphere spring months (e.g., October, November) might experience similar potential benefits, not April-born babies.

But there’s a catch:

• Genetics and socio-economic factors play a much bigger role than birth month.

• The attractiveness link is more correlative than causal.

• Most studies are based on northern hemisphere populations, so data for the southern hemisphere is limited.

So if it's a less 'scientific' take on things that you're after, Astrologer, Molly Hall writes: “When it comes to sex and romance, Aries are sexy, because they project big confidence, even if they don't feel it inside. 

“In a world of conformity, the Ram does his or her own thing. Aries is a doer, not a talker, and this inspires respect and can be a big attractant for some.”

So there you have it - even if you’re not feeling sexy, just project and as with most things, fake it til you make it!
