Each one of those articles is utter bullsheeet. Women are just as shallow as men its just that men will admit it. Men are simply more honest when it comes to things like that.

Very well said, Girth!

Well I'm not English so I don't know, but you do seem to be a bit more conservative and well manerred than Americans in some cases.

Those magazine surveys are ridiculous, but when I was a teenager I loved them LOL

There are a lot and lots and lots of scientific studies about attraction.

Women are more sensitive to chemical differences between men by smell and saliva.

"Like mice, women preferred the scent of men whose immune systems were unlike their own. If a man's immune system was similar, a woman tended to describe his T-shirt as smelling like her father or brother."

http://www.independent.co.uk/life-st...g-6668095.html

"Endocrinologists have found that through kissing, women can sample a section of a potential partner's genome called the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). The MHC are codes for the immune system and women are attracted to the scent of men with a different MHC to themselves."


It has also been proven that in indigenous cultures men with lower voices have more children.

There have also been studies about what attracts men more. The amount of sway in a woman's walk has actually been proven to be more of a factor in attraction than an hourglass figure. For instance a thinner woman who walks in a "sexy" way is rated as more attractive than a very well endowed woman who walks stiffly or "like a man."

I can't find that study easily because google brings back a lot of annoying "how to attract a man" garbage when I try to search for it. But here is a few articles on how a woman changes durring ovulation to attract men.

Men and woman aren't shallow, they are biologically wired to look for a good mate.

Men analize traits differently than women do!!!!!!!!!!!!


I find it extremely annoying when anyone assumes that everyone is exactly like they are and that everyone else is just lying.

If a thousand people are having an experience that you have never had, like being a woman, and they are telling you something about being a woman, and you decide you know better about it than they do, that is shockingly ignorant, egotistical, and short sighted.

I do not give a **** what you look like, but I do give a **** what you smell like.
I don't give a **** if that makes me shallow. You can call me shallow but don't call me a liar.

Everyone of them exactly the same.

I know a LOT of very bitchy men, who bitch with eachother

[rayheartbliss]

i dont think any of those are true at all

the majority of both men & women are attracted to someone's popularity then success and then looks. this mostly apply to the younger ones, people would look if someone has one of those if not all 3, like it or not this is true and can be seen easily everywhere, initially looks is the first factor, if their looks is not considered as the best then they would look at how popular they are with other people. It's one of those things where someone wants someone because everybody else likes them and they get their satisfaction from the fact that a popular person chose them out of many others who likes them. And its only a small minority that are attracted to others beyond the artificial things.
there is no such thing as most men go for personality and women go for looks or vise versa.

women love a good bod gunns n looks they will shag those guys but when it comes to settling down or having steady relashionship they will always go for the boring pot belled pigs everytime. safe is more attractive in the long run.
havin gunns etc just attracts the wrong women. for example girls only want me for my body isnt life great lol
