Breaking News: Women Prefer Muscular Guys

Wesley Pinkham: Today, UCLA researches announced their findings of a study in female preferences in the opposite sex. They found that "young men who were more muscular than average were twice as likely to have had more than three sex partners in their lives." They also discovered that men who were less muscular utilized the so-called "sweet-guy" approach in order to achieve success in the dating field. One particular word comes to mind after reading their conclusions: DUH. I'm not quite sure that these quantitative results are completely accurate , considering that they measure sexual success by the amount of claimed partners of muscular guys compared to the slimmer variety. A guy who spends more time at the gym might also be more prone to be dishonest about their sexual history. Regardless, I'm sure the gym business is excited. I'm predicting gym membership will be on the rise. Comments (4) Comments on this Entry: (Mark Englert on Jul 9, 2007 11:38 PM) I'd suggest guitar lessons for the less muscular guys.

(cindylu on Jul 10, 2007 12:07 PM) I took a class with one of the co-authors of the study during the winter quarter and immediately knew that she had to be involved in this study. Her research and papers she co-authors get a lot of attention. And now that I think of it, my short term relationships and flings have been with more muscular/toned men than my long term relationships.
