Topic: Are You A Whore Or A Housewife?

[nickclone]

According to a study, you can tell which person just was to bang and which one would make good marriage material. You can read the article here.

On men, a square jaw, large nose and small eyes are more likely to betray the look of lust than of love.

Women found men with softer features more likely to opt for commitment.

Hahahahaha!  Oh my God.  It's back.  Physical features reflecting personality.  Bring back the cranium calipers, and we'll get rid of all the violent criminals on the streets overnight!

What utter bullshit.

the research also showed that women who were open to short-term sexual relationships were usually seen as more attractive

Hot girls get laid more?  Astounding.

But the Durham University-led research found that while men can judge whether a woman is footloose-and-fancy-free or not, there is no common facial detail to explain it.

Might have something to do with the short skirt, the protruding cleavage, and the open bottle of Jeager on the counter in front of them.

Women were usually interested in men who appeared to be more likely to want a long-term relationship.

Yeah, I'm sorry, but every chick I know that's interested in a long-term relationship pretty much constantly makes the wrong decision about guys and ends up in the sack with some asshole.  Maybe it's different wherever they did this study, but I think they might want to check some other statistics, and possibly the accuracy of these people's deductions.

Dr Lynda Boothroyd, from Durham University's Psychology Department, said: "This shows that these initial impressions may be part of how we assess potential mates -- or potential rivals -- when we first meet them.

Wow, you mean first impressions are important?  Who knew?  I wonder how much grant money they gave her to come up with that little nugget of brilliance.

"These will then give way over time to more in-depth knowledge of that person as you get to know them better, and may change with age."

Shock and awe.

"Lots of previous studies have shown that people can judge a lot about a person from their face..."

Beware tumors and neck lesions, but hot red lipstick and tongue rings equal go time (as long as they have a certificate from the local clinic to ensure they're still disease-free, of course).

EDIT - Haha, 2 replies before I could even post my haphazard mockeries.  We're on the ball tonight.

That dude in the upper left is going to have a hard time getting laid with all that hair on his forehead.

The article has a printing error. Where it says:

Women were usually interested in men who appeared to be more likely to want a long-term relationship.

It should read:

Women were usually interested in men who appeared to be assholes.

Damnit Que, don't say what I was going to say.

[Quemaqua]

Women were usually interested in men with functioning sex organs, even when said organs posed potentially hazardous risk to their health and wellbeing.

This all reminds me of Jennie's sister.  She had been dating some douchebag forever.  The guy already had two kids with two different women, and was barely involved in their lives at all.  He was always nice to me and everything, but you could just tell Jennie's sister was just a trophy (she's hot).  He was an asshole and just not compassionate at all.  But of course she didn't see it even though every single person in her family and I constantly told her to find someone else, it would be easy (did I mention she's hot?).

Then she started talking about how she wanted a baby.  Jennie and I told her not to do anything dumb, but what do you know, like four months later she's pregnant.  Jennie and I are certain she did it on purpose in order to make the guy commit and also just to fill her desire to have a kid.

Well, it completely backfired.  Of course now he didn't find her as attractive and they broke up when the kid was like one month old.  He wasn't interested in starting a family.

It's kind of sad really.  She's one of those types that always has to be dating a guy.  So now here she is a single mom and that has scared away like 3/4 of her prospects and she's lonely and mad that her ex-boyfriend is dating someone else now and her kid will be around this strange woman and other strange women in the future.

Hello, you should have thought of that before!  Everyone under the sun told you for years the guy was a fucking asshole!

[Xessive]

If this was based on expression and gesture I'd find it plausible.

I believe you can tell a lot about a person by looking at their face, particularly the eye area. However, defining people by stereotypes is bullshit. As Cobra said, this is just retarded shit from the dark ages.

[Quemaqua]

Jeez, Scott.  Those are the kind of idiots I deal with every day at my job (child support).  It's sad, but mostly just fucking infuriating to me at this point.
