Men want hot women, study confirms


OK, so I haven't posted in awhile - I'm studying most of the time, and should be right now. But I just couldn't help but post this from CNN's Tech page. Yeah, that's the title, and I wonder who paid for this study from Indiana University. If you ask me, it should have been researched at Denver University - DU, or "Duh!"

"In the study, participants were asked before the session to fill out a questionnaire about what they were looking for in a mate, listing such categories as wealth and status, family commitment, physical appearance, healthiness and attractiveness.

"After the session, the researchers compared what the participants said they were looking for with the people they actually chose to ask for another date.

"Men's choices did not reflect their stated preferences, the researchers concluded. Instead, men appeared to base their decisions mostly on the women's physical attractiveness.

"The men also appeared to be much less choosy. Men tended to select nearly every woman above a certain minimum attractiveness threshold, Todd said.

The study also mentioned that HOT women knew how far water finds its own level... meaning HOT women want HOT enough men and won't lower themselves too many levels.

Each generation raises the bar on physical looks. Unfortunately in 2007, most women are judged as fit mates using a metal scale and measuring tape. No wonder many middle age, younger women are becoming bisexual.
