You spent 3 minutes, the researchers spent hundreds of hours and probably taxpayer money to boot.

This is an unprecedented revelation. Unquestionably it is one of the most important to emerge in the past five hundred years.

And that opens up a new can of worms, labeled "Your hot sister".

Yeah, well, that's always been my can of worms to bear. *sigh* The good news is, it's kind of a foolproof boyfriend test. If a boyfriend dumps me for her, I am never anything but very glad for dodging THAT bullet.

It's happened once so far. I'd like to think I'm getting better at choosing boyfriends so hopefully it won't happen again.

And of course without the pics to proof that your sister is hotter than you, you still get to be NS's sexiest female poster.

Haha! Yes, well, she's not on NS anyway. Besides, I would never violate her privacy by posting a picture of her for strangers on teh interwebs. (Would I?)

Not really. As the study (which so many are bashing for being pointless) clearly states:
"Men tended to select nearly every woman above a certain minimum attractiveness threshold, Todd said."
In other words, men don't go for "hotter" women, rather they go for women of a certain, minimum "hotness", and that any procession above this minimum line is irrelevant.

Well! I think I have seen that in action actually.

The problem lies in the definite lack of booty shaking that has occurred in this thread.

I actually prefer luke warm women. If they-re too hot, they may have a fever and die.

Men don't want hot women. Straight men want hot women. Other men want hot men.

Sorry, luv, but I've seen pics of you. That combined with your NSG presence tells me that anyone dumping you for anyone else needs treatment.
