What about "new cow"?

Asked by marinelife (62485points) July 14th, 2008

In an earlier question, link not one man (well, except AstroChuck) answering addressed the issue of looks or figure beyond attire. I find that extremely puzzling when many male sources all the way from Jeff Foxworthy (“I want a beer & I wanna see something nekkid.”) to scientific study (see summary below) show that it is really looks that guide men’s choices.

“A study conducted by the National Academy of Science hypothesized the same conclusion in the dating market. It proved that men will go more for what makes their mouth water rather than what they put on their ‘dating partner’ checklist.

The study took 26 men and 20 women, ages 26 to early 40s, and asked them to create a list of everything they looked for in a mate, from healthiness, wealth, and family background to physical attraction.

They then were asked to participate in a form of ‘speed dating’ with one another and decide whom they would like to continue seeing.

The study was limited to heterosexual couples only.

While the women followed their checklists, the men disregarded their qualifications and based their decision primarily on physical attractiveness, according to the study. ”
