Thin and seductive, that's what men find attractive in women. But the ladies are less in agreement over what makes for a hot guy, new research finds. The news is good for guys who might think they're not the hottest hunks. But it also means more competition for the hottest chicks, scientists say.
"Men agree a lot more about who they find attractive and unattractive than women agree about who they find attractive and unattractive," said study researcher Dustin Wood, assistant professor of psychology at Wake Forest University in North Carolina.
The study included more than 1,300 heterosexual men, about 2,700 heterosexual women, about 125 homosexual men and about the same number of homosexual women. The average age of participants was about 28 years old, and ranged from 18 to more than 70.
What men want: Despite another recent study that found modern men are more interested in intelligent, educated women than in decades past, in the new study men tended to base their attractiveness ratings on women's physical features, giving stellar marks to those who looked thin and seductive. Most of the men in the study also rated photographs of women who looked confident as more attractive.
What women want: Women showed some preference for thin, muscular men. But they also disagreed over the hotness factor of many men, with some women giving a guy high attractiveness ratings while others scored the same guy as not attractive at all.

It’s not a how a guy looks, but how he looks at you.....
Well sure, but if some young fellow lets his eye fall fondly on a lass who is a little odd or homely ( as he thinks, ) and so calculates that his attentions will be long missed and therefore welcome, he's more than likely to find that he is but one new member of a club ... and science be damned.

1. Why would you post a picture that has been proven to photoshopped during the campaign? Especially when the Governor is much more fit than the “borrowed body”
2. And why, oh why would you post one with a friggin air rifle when she can and does handle the real thing.
Sheesh
What’s hot about that pic?
They are all blowing?
Yes....she has the same effect on me.
A most excellent point!

NOT HOT:
Let me try to convey this in one simple phrase:
"This one time, at band camp..."
That looks mighty sexy.....:o)
Yea, John...but you’re still visual; so you still want a hot chick.
;-)
HAHAHA! Maybe that’s the bait for some women; but I’ll bet that your wife and I both agree that it’s not true for all.
