Women 'should bare 40 per cent of their bodies to attract men'


Women who revealed around 40 per cent of their skin attracted twice as many men as those who covered up.
However, those who exposed any more than this also fared worse. Experts believe that showing too much flesh puts men off because it suggests they might be unfaithful.




I hate our culture.

Huh. That's one of the most poorly constructed "scientific" studies I've ever read. I mean, maybe if I read the actual paper it would make more sense, but I kinda doubt it.

I honestly can't decide if I'm more offended by our societies apparently ingrained madonna/whore complex or by the legitimate news coverage of bad science.

Yeah, I can't even be as eloquent as you. I just wish that image wasn't such a big fucking deal that it merits "scientific studies." Women or Men. I'm just so sick of it.
