From AP: Men want hot women, study confirms

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.

    I’m glad I followed that impulse & hit “F5” for I’d nearly exactly would repeated #1.

    Ladies, yes we are this shallow! That is why Proverbs 31 is *NOT* actually for you. It’s a mom instructing her son on what we should look for in a wife. The key phrase 31:30, the other two is what our fallen nature goes immediately after but she who fears the Lord is worth all her praises.

    Darn. Before I clicked on the link to read the article in its entirety I was hoping it meant “hot” as in very warm (i.e. possibly a little overweight, pregnant, or menopausal — literally, someone who can keep a man warm in bed on a cold winter night!) Oh well.
