Forget boobs and long legs: what men really look for in women
Telegraph (UK) ^

Posted on 05/25/2015 5:58:29 AM PDT by Perdogg

Men value intelligence in women far above large breasts and long legs, a Cambridge evolutionary biologist has claimed.

Although having a large bust and never-ending pins are deemed by western culture as the epitome of femininity, when choosing a mother for their children, men look for brains first,

Professor David Bainbridge, of the University of Cambridge said that intelligence is by far the most attractive quality for men looking for a long term partner because it demonstrates that his chosen partner is likely to be a responsible parent.

Just what we need, an English guy with advanced degrees, telling us all about dating strategies.

“Regardless of how you describe her to us... I hope you still tell your wife that she is the most beautiful woman in the world. Because it sounds like for you she is... true beauty is far more than what shows on the outside.”

Every day. And every time a song comes on and she wants to dance, I say, “ please don’t.”

Or perhaps better known today as spread-spectrum transmission, or just (often random) frequency-hopping.

Instead of using a specific frequency for the entire message, skipping frequencies around randomly makes, for example: (a) jamming harder, (b) RDF cut bearing difficult.

CDMA (Collison Detection - Mutliple Access) is a technique to allow multiple users to share a single communications channel of a network.

Ms. Lararr's patent has nothing to do with encrypting per se.

Well it took me a moment. It must be early.

“George Clooney has no intention of getting his wife Amal Alamuddin pregnant, and it will be a miracle if the couple makes it to the one-year wedding anniversary without getting a divorce. The actor and attorney can’t seem to agree on anything, but the one fight that is single-handedly destroying their marriage is whether or not they will have a baby and start a family. Amal Alamuddin isn’t exactly a young woman and her biological clock is ticking – but George Clooney has made it very clear that he doesn’t want his wife to get pregnant, and even admitted that he doesn’t want kids in a recent interview.”

Aren’t couples supposed to work out details like that in advance?

My wife is a great dancer and I am not. Unfortunately, she loves to sing loudly in the car, so we all have our crosses to bear.

No, those are the answers that men give to researchers on surveys. When one looks at the actions, and not the words, humans of both genders, in virtually every modern culture, are far more interested in appearance, entertainment, status, confidence, happiness and wealth before they are interested in intelligence.

Do you remember when Ellen degeneres’ wife was young and on Ally McBeal? She was gorgeous and totally flat chest.

Never was much of a ‘boob’ observer, and the important thing about legs is definitely not their length, but their curves and smoothness.
