As impressionable young girls brainwashed by images of Pam Anderson (and slack jawed by her effect on men), many of us (foolishly) employed questionable clothing in the name of male approval. Got breasts? Let 'em pop, baby. Dress? Hike that hemline so high that sitting doubles as a gyno appointment. No bra, no problem. Too tight? Nay. Not tight enough. Dress Your Way to Better Sex

We were right, of course. Many a man's eye got a free all-day pass at our (practically) naked bodies. But oh how angry had we known an outfit out of Pam … Read More

Ryan asked us this morning what kind of men we prefer to date. I want to talk about what kind of girlfriends we like having. Okay, let's be honest—you know which of your friends are beautiful. You know when your friend gets more guys than you.

I have some beautiful friends. And I like looking at them. Period. I do not feel competition (but then again, an ex once called me the "least competitive person on the planet"). Some women feel threatened by their prettier peers. Why do we do this, girls? I know that insecurity plays a … Read More

Go to any bar in any city at any given time and you'll likely see the same pattern: hordes of Katherine Heigls making small talk with rows of Seth Rogens (pre-weight loss, of course). Perhaps this was why Knocked Up struck such a reverberating tone and enjoyed so much success—afterall, how many times (a day!) do we see attractive women giving schlubby (but lovable) men a shot? Katherine Heigl

Well, it looks like science (once again!) is behind this phenomenon. New research suggests that evolution is making women more attractive and leaving men as Read More

Think you know what type of figure men find most desirable? The answer, according to Australian researchers at the University of South Wales, may surprise you. According to a recent study in the journal Behavioral Ecology, men go for average female figures over mega-shapely centerfolds, escorts and models, reports New Scientist.

When 100 male students were asked to rate the attractiveness of 200 line drawings of females with differing hip, shoulder and waist measurements, the men rated the group of "regular" women ages 22-40 as the most attractive.

The average waist and hip sizes for eight different … Read More

Blame it on Jimmy Choo. More and more women are towering over their male counterparts these days.

While the average height for a man ranges between 5'8" and 5'11", popular high heel styles are stacked at 3, 4 and even 5 inches which means that if you're a stylish single woman on the prowl, chances are you might be looking down at your next date. Read: Tall Girl in Love

Rest assured, you're not alone. The Huffington Post just published a list of 14 Famous Couples With Taller Women and we must say, things are looking up. … Read More

Nobody will ever discount the scientific phenomenon of beer goggles. Being more open to less than stellar sexual options is, unfortunately, as common a side effect from drinking as frequent bathroom breaks. But who would've thought those beer-infested nights would leave a permanent aftertaste on who we find attractive long after the martinis have worn off.

According to a study by researchers in Canada's Lakehead University women who consume an average amount of alcohol (40 drinks or so a month) are less adept at distinguishing facial symmetry—one of the biggies of attractiveness. The study gathered … Read More

Depressing: a study of 2,000 men in Britain found 16% think their wives could use a little nip and tuck, while 6% would like to see a "complete overhaul."  Till her refusal of plastic surgery do us part, I guess?

A third of men said plastic surgery would spruce up their sex life (um, have you actully felt a fake boob?) and a fifth said plastic surgery could actually save their marriage.  Oh, please.  Just divorce right now.  Here, use my lawyer.

Men thought their wives would look better with work done on her tummy, legs and … Read More

Not that you should have been checking out your significant other's mom or dad, anyway...but a recent study says it might be a useless barometer to judge how attractive your guy or girl will be in old age.

The study, out of the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, suggests a woman's beauty is a gift from both of her good-looking parents but a man's facial attractiveness is harder to place.  It says attractive fathers do not necessarily have attractive sons and you can't look at a man's mother to find out if he'll still be … Read More

Ah, winter. The season of pasty, dry skin, holiday weight gain and red, chapped noses. And this is the season men find women most attractive? Well, yes, our bodies, at least.

Men in a Polish study were shown pictures of women's faces, their bodies in bikinis or their breasts once a season throughout the year (remember this study was conducted in Europe, where exposed breasts are commonplace in advertising and on beaches). The women were rated most attractive during the winter and least attractive during the summer. The reason? Scarcity vs. surplus.

Researchers explain that … Read More

Travel & Leisure recently released its "America's Favorite Cities" feature that ranks 25 cities on categories such as food/dining, shopping, people and culture. For the "people" rankings, the citizens are judged on six subcategories: attractive, friendly, intelligent, athletic/active, diverse and stylish.

Now, call me crazy, but when I go on vacation, the first thing I evaluate when choosing a destination is the athleticism of the people. Not at all. But, that's besides the point here. I suppose the accumulated attractiveness of a potential vacation spot population could be helpful to, say, ensure anyone you catch in the background of a … Read More
