Guys Prefer Average Chicks over Hot ones

Tracey Cox: Do men prefer AVERAGE women? Beauty, youth, confidence are NOT top of men's wish list | Mail Online

Study after study (this piece in Psychology Today has a good, general round up) shows while men pay lip service to being hung up on physical attractiveness, once they interact with a woman in real life, they’re far more swayed by personality than they profess to be.

Turns out the things women believe make them more appealing to men - good looks, youth, being super confident, intelligent, body perfect - aren’t top of men’s wish list after all.

Having an OK figure that’s curvy, looking ‘nice’, appearing kind, listening, being trustworthy, laughing at his jokes and letting him look after you - these are the qualities men most frequently seek in long-term partners.

Another study brought to you by the University of Duh.



I have long said that those are all things women do to impress (or piss off) other women.
