Yes dear, I am eyeing her up… it’s in my genes: Scientists offer explanation for why men ogle women
If you catch your man’s eyes wandering when a beautiful stranger walks past, don’t blame him – it’s all the fault of evolution.
Chaps are naturally drawn to people they have never seen before while women prefer familiar male faces, a study reveals.
Men were shown pairs of photographs of women and asked to rate their attractiveness for the research at Scotland’s Glasgow and Stirling universities.
When photos were produced for a second time alongside previously unseen images, they were distracted by the new women and tended to lower their rating of the original ones.
If that makes man sound stupid, women should not scoff too loudly because the same applied to them in reverse, with the ratings increasing the second time around.
The preferences developed because early man stood a better chance of reproducing if he slept with many partners while pre-historic women were more likely to survive with a trustworthy provider, the researchers suggest.
While the results, published in the Journal of Sexual Behaviour, make for interesting reading, women whose partners claim their ogling is genetic should not be fooled too easily.
By the logic of the experiment, men ought to find much-photographed stars such as Rihanna a complete turn-off.
o/~ Pretty woman... o/~
This also doesn't explain the new UPS guy in the office and the female squeals coming from the desks when he walks in.
who says they don't. At first guys seem to notice her and then it was HO hum (literally).
“I’m a girl watcher
I’m a girl watcher
watching girls go by
My oh my”
Maybe those squeals are because he has a bunch of packages from Zappos.
Ah. A man that knows women :).
... and why men who ogle men who ogle men end up with hundreds of different partners.
"Hot Babe 3 o'clock."
Maybe my post wasn't clear.
I don't speak for others but I found her a turn-off the first time I ever saw her. I also am not really sure what she does that made her "famous". She isn't a country singer or conservative radio host that's for sure.
>> early man stood a better chance of reproducing if he slept with many partners
And they call this: ‘science’... short on real news???
The last thing any man needs is an explanation about his bang list.
Agreed.
I don’t know about about ogling but i think it’s natural for women to look at men when they walk by only they don’t ogle.
I understand. Yes were clear. It was me that was unclear. :) I actually just wanted to comment on the same comment you selected and oddly picked your post to do so. It was a weird sort of way to say I agree with you. Albeit a completely roundabout way. :) Good night my FRiend.
Thank goodness American taxpayers didn’t pay for this waste of time, obvious answer study.
I’d like them to explain women and shoes!
Faces. Good one. Yeah I was looking at new faces.
