A Pretty Face or a Hot Body?

A Pretty Face or a Hot Body?
When pursuing a mate for a short-term relationship are we more interested in the face or the body? How about for a long-term relationship? Christie Nicholson reports





So take this little test: if you were interested in pursuing a partner for a short-term relationship which would you be most interested in…their face or their body? And for a long-term relationship, face or body? That is, if you were forced to choose, of course.

Well two PhD students and their advisor, David Buss professor of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin, did force people to make this very choice. They asked 375 college students to pick whether to date someone based on either seeing just their face or their body.

Nearly all participants chose to see the face. Except for one of the sexes in one situation.

Can you guess which one?

Here’s Jamie Confer, one of the student researchers:

"We found that everyone was more interested in the opposite sex person’s face than their body—except for men in the short-term mating condition."

Which implies?

"When men were evaluating a short-term mate for a one-night stand they showed equal interest in her face and body instead of the face winning by a blowout."

For long-term 75 percent of male participants wanted to see the face, but for short-term flings 50 percent of men chose face and 50 percent chose the body.

And why would this be?

"Cues of immediate fertility which are more important to a man pursuing short-term relationships are more densely concentrated in her body than in her face. Where as her face may have more cues of reproductive value like age and health."

Such as?

"Skin and wrinkling gives a cue to her age—men looking for want to make sure she’s not at the tail end of the fertility window."

Presumably you could tell that by looking at her body, as well?

"Yes, you could but the cues are more concentrated in her face than in her body."

And this is not the case in men?

"There is not this huge discrepancy in cues that women are interested in, like his good genes cues and good dad cues, health and symmetry. Those are present in face and body equally, more so in men."

Freud famously asked, what do women want. I guess it was clear to him what men wanted.

Whats all this fertility bullshit? Is there ANY man who who is really concerned about a woman's fertility? Can she suck a good dick, that's all I care about.

When I was younger..the face.
As I get older...the body.
Cute faces are a dime a dozen.
Once you get older, a hot body is delicacy

Hair is another thing this article doesn't mention......I've always noticed how guys will turn their heads to check out a girl with long bouncy hair even though she only has an average body

they're checking to see if anything else bounces...

I forgot shiny hair too........another sign of fertility. Someone can dye their hair all they want, but it will never retain the shine it did when they were younger.

Same thing applies to large amounts of exposed skin. Doesn't mean a thing; it's like dangling a string in front of a cat.

I've got a huge cock so I get to bag the chics with a hot body and a pretty face.

Bullseye.

They left out the real deciding factor.. Interest.

She can be hot as balls, but if her fat friend is more interested, I'm taking the sure thing.

No........Huge cock/prowess only gets 'em for the repeat, not the initial bag.

Yep. Ill notice a girl with long hair or exposed skin (short shorts/tank top) out of the corner of my eye and turn to get a complete view. Its kind of like wearing a neon sign.

I would argue it's more than just a tease. If it was a feature that got your attention the first time, then it's something you put value on (and will continue to do so).

I saw something on Discovery about that. Something about long hair signals fertility and such.

Also there was research (which Boortz dedicated his whole show to one day and asked every female caller how short her hair was and how her sex drive was) done that showed women with shorter hair were less sexually available. Longer hair more available. Which is why women after menopause tend to cut their hair shorter.

Short term a body can go a long way. But often times the "short term" is during heavy drinking and everyone is beautiful then.

.

Eh......I think the only reason most women cut their hair around menopause time is because their hair isn't as nice as it once was. After a certain age it isn't worth taking dull, brittle hair and trying to make it into something it's not.
