Forget boobs and long legs: what men really look for in women

Telegraph (UK) ^

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.

Yep. As Dr. Laura says, “Choose wisely, treat kindly”. I’ve learned to be more kind over the years and my husband appreciates it.

Take a close look at their mother for a preview of your lovebird’s future appearance and actions. You ladies do the same and look at their fathers. My ex wife’s mother was slim, trim, good looking and smart. My ex wife was a bitch and grew to be fat, lazy, ugly, mean and dumb. Glad to be away from her.

I have no idea who or WHAT that is. But, thanks, i think.

Yeah...just look at all of those online dating write-ups where a guy is looking for a woman with “an IQ above 120”.

“... she would vivisection me...”

Is that what you young people are calling it these days?! :)

Rock stars are not known to be ‘brainacs’ either.

Nope, that tactic didn’t work for me. BTW, her sister turned out normal and still attractive at 65 years old.

You're welcome (x3).

Here's some more of her...
