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.
art.dating.study.gi.jpg

In the dating game, men know what they want.

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.

Researchers led by Todd report in Tuesday's edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that their study found humans were similar to most other mammals, "following Darwin's principle of choosy females and competitive males, even if humans say something different."

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

Participants ranged in age from 26 to their early 40s and took part in "speed dating," short meetings of three to seven minutes in which people chat, then move on to meet another dater. Afterward, participants check off the people they'd like to meet again, and dates can be arranged between pairs who select one another.

Speed dating let researchers look at a lot of mate choices in a short time, Todd said.

In the study, participants were asked before the session to fill out a questionnaire about what they were looking for in a mate, listing such categories as wealth and status, family commitment, physical appearance, healthiness and attractiveness.

After the session, the researchers compared what the participants said they were looking for with the people they actually chose to ask for another date.

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.

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

Women's actual choices, like men's, did not reflect their stated preferences, but they made more discriminating choices, the researchers found.

The scientists said women were aware of the importance of their own attractiveness to men, and adjusted their expectations to select the more desirable guys.

"Women made offers to men who had overall qualities that were on a par with the women's self-rated attractiveness. They didn't greatly overshoot their attractiveness," Todd said, "because part of the goal for women is to choose men who would stay with them"

But, he added, "they didn't go lower. They knew what they could get and aimed for that level."

So, it turns out, the women's attractiveness influenced the choices of the men and the women.

It's not a matter of what she's wearing, but everyone knows men are pretty visual and if a girl makes no effort to impress, whether first meeting someone or whether you've been married to them for 30 years, then what are you telling the other person about your interest in them? Now I've only been married for 6 months, but I definitely do my best daily to look hot for him. I would think she'd try twice as hard. Not to mention that she's ten times hotter when she tries a little!!

I can see why. I'll bet she rates about a "20" on your drive around the block scale.

I just hate to see the obsession with looks/clothing/style/etc; and go so far as to say you have to adhere to that to find a compatible mate. I was just trying to make a point that it doesn't have to be the deal breaker. If a few of those hollywood women would let themselves be seen in sweats, ponytail, & sans makeup, maybe it would save a young girl from the heartbreak realization of unobtainable "hollywood" beauty...

Sure, but that doesn't confirm the study's findings (that men don't value things other than looks; I'm not sure there was adequate time to determine that element).

Yeah, I guess. That's my criteria for sending out woos. Although I don't send them out if the match percentage is below, say, 50.

Well for most men that have vision 3 minutes is about 2 minutes and 59 seconds more than we need.

For women it isn't anywhere near enough time unless the guy happened to drop his bank statement on the table.
