How to Attract a Man

Written on November 17, 2009 at 6:29 pm, by Jennifer Castoro

In my single days, I put far too much thought into my clothing options before heading out in search of potential dates. Shirt too tight? Skirt too short? Too much boobage? Or not short enough? After which I’d settle on whatever I felt comfortable in, which was much more modest than what lots of other chippies I’d see on the dance floor were wearing. The bigger question: How much skin is too much when you want to attract an upstanding suitor, not a pervy one?

Researchers at the University of Leeds, in the U.K., sent volunteers to observe male-female interactions at a nightclub. They found that women who exposed about 40 percent of their skin – hands and feet not included – were approached by twice as many men as those who were more moderately attired. Any more flesh than that and the signal changed from cute-yet-available to desperate-potential-adulterer. And if there was less on display, ladies were more likely to go home solo.

No word on whether the interested guys were cute.
