WASHINGTON (AP) -- Science is confirming what most women know: When given the choice for a mate, men go for good looks.
And guys won't be surprised to learn that women are much choosier about partners than they are.
"Just because people say they're looking for a particular set of characteristics in a mate, someone like themselves, doesn't mean that is what they'll end up choosing," Peter M. Todd, of the cognitive science program at Indiana University, Bloomington, said in a telephone interview.

IBTHTP.
It came in the 5th post of the last thread that referenced this study.
Hmmmm - does this explain H.H. and his three live in playboy bunnies in "The Girl Next Door"
Shazam! Wow, I would have never been able to figure that out without a $3 million grant from the US Government.
In other studies, men get less picky when they are drunk.
Ted Kennedy will drink shoe polish after the scotch runs out.
etc...
men are animals....
Well...one surely does not want one that is at room temp., that’s for sure :-)
You mean someone actually paid for these studies?

Although the title is different, hot not being necessarily good looking, the content is the same as the previous threads.
I want to know where I can get a government grant to do a study to find something that everyone already knew!
tax funded?
Agreed - and women are the civilizing factor in society by being the sexual gate keepers and being choosy about their mates. Otherwise you get a 80% illegitimacy rate and "baby daddies" instead of fathers.
“Their study involved 26 men and 20 women in Munich, Germany.
Participants ranged in age from 26 to their early 40s and took part in “speed dating,” short meetings of three to seven minutes in which people chat, then move on to meet another dater. Afterward, participants check off the people they’d like to meet again, and dates can be arranged between pairs who select one another.”

Now let me get this straight: 46 people in one “speed-dating” session. If I had an anthropology degree I could have arranged and paid for this “study” and now I could be famous.
Carry out an afternoon’s “study” and get your name in the papers.
I can see Capt Obvious made his appearance before a single post on this thread.
Beer Goggles!
Rosie is hot.
Hot and sweaty.
