There’s hope for me!
One of life’s mysteries revealed.
Might vote this stupidest study yet. What some people will do to get published!!
How does one quantify “attractiveness”? This study, just from what I see on the surface, looks to be BS.
I had not seen a study like this, but I have seen studies that indicate women on birth control are more likely to be drawn to the little thin metrosexual androgynous twink kind of guy as opposed to the more masculine and bigger guys.
So hormonal birth control is to women what excessive amounts of alcohol is to men.
I think it is simply that with the reduced chance of conception, they are more willing to engage fuglies.
Otherwise they will only chance it with the ‘hotties.’
correlation vs. causation?
OK.....let’s look at this.
You’re a single woman and decide you want to have some hot, monkey sex but you don’t want any kids. You take birth control pills. So you go out looking for hot, monkey sex, and what do you find? Hot, male monkeys. Wow. Where’s my grant money?
Because in the end, the ugly men are the ones who will settle for ‘sloppy seconds.’
Explains a lot about young unmarried women’s voting patterns.
That would explain them “settling” for some less than stellar candidates when the pill fails (or they fail to take the pill) and they become pregnant.
Based on unscientific observations by my wife, Sils and other adult married women, this study may be correct until the women get into their late 20’s/and 30’s. Their perceptions are based on observations of their younger female and male relatives and sons and daughters of friends.
The women after they get in their late 20’s - 30s, will run a credit check on future mates. Guys without an over 800 FICO never get a second look. Studs with good jobs, personal wealth and great FICO scores have women lining up to hook up.
The older women besides checking FICO scores will run a Dunn and Bradstreet to check out the guy’s assets, and check out his home/condo on Zillow to see his real estate value.
Studs with low FICO’s, lower IQs, lower paying jobs and minimal assets get the one night stands or short term flings.
My ship just came in.
The study also revealed that a long held urban legend that men who smoke Marlboro’s cannot get you pregnant is true. :-)
