Flashing the flesh

Pseudoscience of love - the less clothes, the more attentionA few interesting facts arise from visual vs verbal gender dichotomy. It probably explains why in order to get the opposite sex's pulse racing, men have to sweet talk or whisper sweet nothings, while women just have to flash a bit of flesh!

Women are well aware of this and, as the graph above shows, know that the fewer clothes they wear, the more attention they get from men. There is a type of woman that shows far less flesh than even a nun. However, I left them off the graph as I didn't want to live like Salman Rushdie (although his wife is very attractive!). There is also a type of woman that shows more flesh than a stripper. Naturists are not sexually motivated however and they are generally heavier than strippers!! In addition, the promise or hint of something is often more attractive than having it flop about in front of you. I discovered this on holidays once when, worryingly, topless female Swedish sunbathers lost their allure surprisingly quickly!

It is really disingenuous when women complain about men leering at them when they go out in a greyhound skirt and/or their boobs hanging out. Well ladies, if you don't want it looked at, don't put it on display! As I recently heard a guy say in a comedy film (can't remember which one!) to a woman in a low cut dress who caught him leering, "Yeah, you wore a dress like that because you wanted men to stare at your feet"!

Men don’t usually flash the flesh, thank goodness. Possible exceptions to this are the buffed up and the inked up. However, generally the more clothes a man wears, the better! After all, no one likes to see a gut hanging out over a pair of speedos, especially if there is a hairy back to go with it! So, unless you’re as smooth as a baby’s arse and have a physique like Arnie in his prime, it’s best to maximise your chances with the ladies by covering up as much as possible!

The Arnie I refer to is, of course, the Governator himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger, former champion body builder.
