LINCOLN, NE (CBS) A new study has confirmed something women have been complaining about for years.
The research, out of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and published in the Springer-published journal Sex Roles, essentially corroborates the belief that people tend to focus more on the breasts and figure of a woman when analyzing her appearance than they do on her face.
According to researchers, the study was the first ever to use eye-tracking technology to examine the glances of men when the ogle or check out women, whereas previous research had used only womens self-reported experiences.
After monitoring how the gazes of 29 women and 36 men from a large Midwestern university reacted to images of the same group of female models with various body shapes, scientists concluded that participants focused more on the females chests and figure when asked to evaluate their appearance than they did on the womens facial features.
I'm ok with this... My real fear is that they'll stop trying. :-)
Not a real redhead, but at least she’s trying.
Oh, hush... don’t ruin it.
Scientific American had an article on this in the 60s or early 70s. The researchers used some sort of reflector (or reflective feature) to record the direction of the person’s gaze. Same conclusions IIRC.
No doubt we the taxpayers paid several millions to fund this study. So, who are the real “boobs” here?
I thought this is what women use for gadar..if he ain’t looking he’s gay
It is like a Broadway production. Oftentimes the only time you get sick of it is after you marry one and have to endure the prep time.
I will never do that again, guaranteed.
Yep. They like to be ogled, but ONLY by men that THEY find desirable.
An email I received yesterday [I’m paraphrasing, of course]:
A man sends an email to his boss:
Boss, I’m going to be out of work for a while; I’ve been beaten up by a woman.
I was in an elevator when a buxom young thing entered the car. I couldn’t help but stare at her ample bosom.
“Go ahead in push 1, she said”, so I did.
I don’t remember much after that. But, the doctor says I should be recovered enough to return to work in 4 to six weeks.
One of the weirdest was during the 1990s when women wore those skin tight work out pants, or whatever they were, that outlined all of their private parts, yet they would display anger and a Victorian standard of shock that men would look at the portion of their body that they were emphasizing and displaying.
Those work out pants or whatever they were, were grotesque, and not flattering at all, they were almost like being naked, which isn’t a pretty sight in a supermarket since.
Face, then the rest. But always face.
Ankles up. I’m a leg man.
Without going back.. What color are her eyes.. I thought so.. That confirms the thesis.. Ha!
When women plop their t/a out for the world to see, then people will look.
That study didn’t study if men’s chests were gazed upon.
***One of the weirdest was during the 1990s when women wore those skin tight work out pants, ****
Ah sigh. Oh for the mini and micro skirts of the 1960s and the HOT PANTS of the 1970s.
Hussies are showing off their ankles.
Thank the Gods for such beautiful creatures...
My Wife likes the yoga pants. Thankfully, even after bearing me three wonderful children, she still does justice to them.
Those were sexy, and the 60s girls were so clearly female, the libs hated that.
I also like the lithe female form in long, old fashioned cotton dresses that were popular in the late 1960s/early 70s.
Exactly.
