happythoughts 0 #1 August 13, 2009 This just in... study Who gets paid to write this study? I'll do it for half. QuoteMen are far more interested in casual sex than women. While men need to be exceptionally at-tractive to tempt women to consider casual sex, men are far less choosy. Imagine this interview... "Do you have casual sex?" "How choosy are you?" "Will I do?" QuoteThese findings1 by Dr Achim Schützwohl, from the Department of Psychology at Brunel University in the UK, and his team are published online in Springer’s journal Human Nature. The research shows that men are more likely than women to report having had casual sex and they express a greater desire for it than do women. It is also thought that women but not men raise their standards of attractiveness for a casual sex partner. QuoteThe authors conclude: “While men are not entirely insensitive to their requestor’s attractiveness, women have higher standards and are more likely to engage in casual sex with an exceptionally attractive man than with a less attractive man.” Geez... somebody gets paid for this? In rating attractiveness on a scale of 1 to 10... Possible mitigating factors... "Willing" is worth two points. Target partner is drunk is another two points. Person is drunk 1.5 points. Approaching, or after, 1:30am. - 1 point. Extremely dark location 1 point. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy0689 0 #2 August 13, 2009 Even worse, somebody probably paid grant money to support a study like this. It's amazing what people come up with for Ph.D. dissertations. For example, take the Cain-Hackman Theory and "You can major in Game Boy if you know how to bullshit." And I think willing is worth more than 2 points!Andy I'll believe it when I see it on YouTube!

ryoder 1,590 #3 August 14, 2009 Here is another study that found an interesting twist on the choosiness aspect based on the situation of the encounter: http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-scientific-fundamentalist/200908/are-women-always-more-selective-in-mate-choice-men-i"There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

kallend 2,148 #4 August 14, 2009 Since any hetero encounter requires one of each gender, presumably those few women who ARE interested in casual sex indulge much more often.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
