Study: Girlie Girls Prefer Girlie BoysPosted on Aug 31, 2009
Here’s an oddball out of the empire: A new British study suggests that a girl’s “visual diet” affects attraction. Girls who attended same-sex schools were found to prefer more-feminine men. (For boys in all-male schools, there was little or no indication they preferred more-masculine girls.) Maybe it’s a British thing? Or a teenage girl thing? —PS

Quote: “Dr Tamsin Saxton, who led the study, said: “Interestingly, the weakest effect of ‘visual diet’ was in relation to boys’ judgments of girls’ faces.
“This might be because femininity is such an over-riding cue to female facial attractiveness, or perhaps because even at a single-sex school, boys see more female faces around them, in their teachers and so on.”
Sure…... or it “might be” because “Montana sheep are not called whores for nothing”, like I’ve said before. Let’s face it, with a little imagination and a couple of brewskis’, sheep are “kinda” like women. And what of the “strange” attraction for old rich men and their “visual diet” for 28 yr. old women with big bazooms? These are the real questions…..
While, ”“Interestingly, the weakest effect of ‘visual diet’ was in relation to boys’ judgments of girls’ faces.” Could it be because “interestingly”.... so often it’s the very last place they look? “Femininity”....(lol), is that what we’re calling it now?
And here us women thought there were simply ass-men and boob-men. But what do women know? I mean we’re only women after all….. and you know how women are….
As far as the girls go, don’t most “girls” kinda think feminine featured boys “are cute”..... and then later most of ‘em, don’t. The boy’s well…. yeah, I think the article did somewhat give a hint to their “behavior”, and their “behavior” doesn’t change much even as they age. Same ol’, same ol’.

“Social scientists” always detect or prove whatever
Report thisthey desire, and whatever they desire always supports
the political positions of their sponsors. Genders
vary both in mental as well as corporal matters based
on social status: in the upper class both men and
women do no corporal labor and both decide for their
employees or servants, while in the the lower class
men and women are assigned jobs by their upper class
employers—both men and women—or masters duties
based on gender difference in corporal strength only.
In the upper class both men and women require mental
exercise in deciding and ordering, and thus both
genders are educated; in the lower class neither men
nor women require mental exercise, but both require
corporal exercise with men having duties requiring
the greatest exercise consistent with the men’s
greater strength. Upper class men do not differ
corporally greatly from upper class women as lower
class men do from women, which class corporal
difference is the primary cause for lower class men
deriding their employers and masters as “girly-men”,
and upper class women marrying upper class men is the
primary cause for some very stupid and facile
scientists observing single-sex (British public or
upper class) school women to “prefer” “more feminine”
men.

Oh!
That explains it! No wonder women don’t like my face. It’s neither feminine, nor masculin. Just fat.
Hmmm. Guess I’ll give up trying to attract women. I’m a lost cause!
