Yes dear, I am eyeing her up… it’s in my genes: Scientists offer explanation for why men ogle women

If you catch your man’s eyes wandering when a beautiful stranger walks past, don’t blame him – it’s all the fault of evolution.

Chaps are naturally drawn to people they have never seen before while women prefer familiar male faces, a study reveals.

Men were shown pairs of photographs of women and asked to rate their attractiveness for the research at Scotland’s Glasgow and Stirling universities.

When photos were produced for a second time alongside previously unseen images, they were distracted by the new women and tended to lower their rating of the original ones.

If that makes man sound stupid, women should not scoff too loudly because the same applied to them in reverse, with the ratings increasing the second time around.

The preferences developed because early man stood a better chance of reproducing if he slept with many partners while pre-historic women were more likely to survive with a trustworthy provider, the researchers suggest.

While the results, published in the Journal of Sexual Behaviour, make for interesting reading, women whose partners claim their ogling is genetic should not be fooled too easily.

By the logic of the experiment, men ought to find much-photographed stars such as Rihanna a complete turn-off.

“This just in: Men like looking at women! Film at 11.”

LOL should be in “Breaking News” :)

Ladies: if you don’t see him sneaking a glance every now and then, assume that you’re a beard; but if he acts on his ogling, he’s still a caveman who can’t control his biology. Ditch him.

[FredZarguna]

At least as startling and impacting as the typical “Fox News Alert.”

On Fox News it would be in breaking news, with exhibits A through ZZ.

This is ‘Hard’ news. ;-)

“By the logic of the experiment, men ought to find much-photographed stars such as Rihanna a complete turn-off.”

The primary subject of the article is that dudes like different hot chicks while tha’ ladies prefer the same ole dude due to familiarity.

This study should have been my thesis at the Bud Light Institute.

A fully accredited educational institution, no doubt.

In a related study, male and female Alzheimer's patients found repeated images of the same hot person just as hot as the first viewing.

It is amazing to realize how much money is wasted to verify the obvious.

I find that she is indeed a turn-off.

The statists will argue that these guys need to be sent to re-education camps (until they learn to ogle other men).

Uhmmmmm, we ogle them because they are hot and their inability to make any sense usually results in makeup sex.

Just guessing...

Where are the mods when we need them?

At least as startling and impacting as the typical “Fox News Alert.”

Ought to be worth a headline at World Net Daily.
