Steve has also put it up on the news feed. It's a decent little read.

When I was taking a class on communications between the sexes, the subject of how attraction affects communication came up, we went over a study that was done with data from several universities. Each university surveyed women on the most attractive features in a man, without race in mind, the most common description was 6 feet to 6 foot 4 inches tall, black or dark brown hair, blue eyes, strong/define jaw line, cleft chin, athletic/muscular, with strong legs and chest. After we went over that I said "So a majority of women have a underlining attraction to Superman?" It got some laughs, then the instructor clicked to the next slide and BOOM there was a picture of Superman. And there was some talk and laughs about it, then we moved on. This article made me think of that. There's a program on human sexuality that aired on the Discovery Channel (USA) that went over the same study. If you can find it check it out, it's pretty interesting. |
