NEWSFLASH: Men Want Hot Women, Care less about daily fiber consumption
Participating men and women were required to fill out “pre-dating” surveys about traits they found desirable in the opposite sex – “wealth and status, family commitment, physical appearance, healthiness, and attractiveness”
After the speed dating, researchers found that men’s choices in women did not line up with what their prescreening questionaire selections - They just picked the hotties.
I want to contact Mr. Todd and ask him “IS THIS SUPRISING TO YOU?!!”
we’re talking about speed dating – of course looks are going to weigh much more than someone’s political idiology or dietary needs – i wonder if these things even come up in a three to seven minute speed date. This is just a snapshot* of time, in which you have to make a decision – would you like to see* this person again? Essentially speed dating is making a judgement based on a very limited amount of time and information presented. It’s no suprise the eye’s have it.
I think I should come up with some important research projects, just as insightful as Petey’s, too.
Anyone wanna fund the “Do Men Think Hotwings Go Well With Beer?” study?
How about the “Does taking free vacations to Europe to conduct silly social engineering experiments really lead to professional satisfaction?” survey? We could ask Mr. Todd – he conducted his research in Munich.
By stating what I feel is mind numbingly obvious with the study, I am in no way whatsoever attemtpting to be mean and callous – I’ve just never heard someone say,
“Man, I’m really happy with my wife/fiance/significant other/DNA extractor in all ways, but I just wish she wasn’t so damn hot.”
Sorry – Zero percent chance. Even the jealous types I know wouldn’t trade down for the ugly-twin-version of the exact same girl they are dating.
