Men want hot women, study confirms

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Science is confirming what most women know: When given the choice for a mate, men go for good looks.

Stop the presses.

We hate to go all Proxmire on they asses, but, they needed a study to find out men like teh hawt?

Their study involved 26 men and 20 women in Munich, Germany.

Ah, they were German. 'Splains much.

How much beer did you get to participate?

Men's choices did not reflect their stated preferences, the researchers concluded. Instead, men appeared to base their decisions mostly on the women's physical attractiveness.

See? Men = liars.

The men also appeared to be much less choosy. Men tended to select nearly every woman above a certain minimum attractiveness threshold, Todd said.

Have these German researchers ever, in their lives, been to a bar?

Women's actual choices, like men's, did not reflect their stated preferences....

Oho! Women = liars too! Watch out, guys. Because, it is somehow morally defensible when we do it.

I am charmed and horrified both by the phrase "minimum attractiveness threshold" and my immediate reaction ("Haha, that sure is German!")

On a somewhat related note, did you see the articles concerning the study some batch of geniuses did that discovered that, when a woman exercises, her breasts bounce not only up and down, but also side to side and in and out as well? Ostensibly this was to establish the fact that exercise bras are inadequate, but even though the study was lead by a woman, I can't help thinking that Beavis and Butt-head are on the research staff somewhere.
