I’ve got a really interesting study that will really get you thinking.

Now, before I get started… please understand that even though this may seem a little harsh, I feel like everyone should know about it for their own well being.

Okay, enough of the disclaimer…

The other day, I was noticing all of the commercials on TV that had to do with beauty products, hair care, and other “head” stuff. Now, this wasn’t just the women’s stuff either — there were plenty of men’s products as well.

All of these commercials for elaborate hairstyles and “new age” skin cleaners really got me thinking…

I’ve always thought it weird that the same people that can’t afford a $50/mo health club membership were the same people that were spending $200+/mo on so called “self improvement” products.

So I decided to do a little “mini” study.

I asked 50 men from all walks of life this question:

“What do you find more attractive, a woman with a beautiful face but an okay body, or a woman with an awesome body and an okay looking face?”

I was surprised by the answers I received.

Would you believe that over 80% of the men said that they found the women with the okay face and rocking body far more attractive than the beautiful face and the okay body?

Would you also believe that the more successful the men… the more prominent the distinction?

I was floored.

Not only that, but the men that were in shape responded in much the same way as the more successful men.

In fact, only the men that were out of shape and relatively unsuccessful in life preferred the pretty face and okay body.

Now, before everyone goes completely ape cacca on me - let’s see what that really means.

1. It levels the playing field for those that don’t have the “natural gifts”of facial beauty. (this is great news)

2. It means that many people (both men and women) may be focusing on the wrong things when they are trying to “look better” for the opposite sex. (maybe not so great news)

These limited results make sense when you look at it. People that are in shape generally exude a higher level of self confidence - to the point that I actually read an article one day saying that depending on the job, one particular ad agency said that they would rather hire an out of shape person rather than an in shape person because the out of shape person “falls in line” better.

In other words, they tend to have less of a backbone and just do what they’re told.

Seriously, could I come close to making this up?

Not likely.

Also, self confidence is the one common thread that I noticed. The men perceived (big “underline” here) the in shape woman as having much more self confidence and that was attractive to them.

A few others stated that it was attractive to be around a woman that was interested in keeping herself healthy.

Now, this is by far from an accurate study so don’t necessarily take this as the gospel. But, it is what it is.

Next, I think I’ll ask a bunch of women the same question and see what the response is. I imagine it’ll go something like this:

“Well… how much money do they have”?

I’m kidding.

I really think it will turn out the same - but, I’ve been wrong before.

What do you think?

There Are 5 Responses So Far. »

  1. I don’t think the results are unusual, actually that is exactly what I would have expected people to say. The self confidence and perceptions of that are probably because someone has to WORK to get in really good shape, so they are confident in their ability to take on hard tasks and proud of what they’ve accomplished. And the other sex knows that, and it’s sexy. Lots of people with naturally pretty faces are insecure.

  2. Of course asking people for their opinion when conducting a survey like this is a little shakey. It aims for an intellectual response not what their cerebellum instinctivly percives attractive. (Kind of like asking women what they find attractive in a man: “Well he has to have a sense of humor and make me laugh…”)
    However, the result very much falls in line with our evolutionary programming. Think about it. 40.000 years ago (and we know that human life has been like that until about let’s say 2.000 b.c.) mateing with the man of the highest status was a woman’s best chance for survival of herself and her offspring. And a strong physical appearance showed this to her right away, not a pretty face. So finding men with an in shape body attractive has bred into women for tenthousands of years.
    Same for men. Women with the right breast to waist ratio had better chances to deliver their children alive and raise them. So the genes of those men finding these women attractive got passed on. Those finding pretty faces great with a body unable to sustain the stress and hardship of a pregnancy in the wild did out.
    How do you explain that some men still say they prefer a pretty face over a great body? They are the underdogs, the betas. They have learned over the years not to mess with the property of the alphas. So they settle for the beta women and backwards rationalize it to themselves. Afterall it would be awefull admit to themselves time and again that they rather had a popular women at their side but setteling for a faty due to a lack of options…

  3. Dear Rittmeister J:

    If your deduction was true, that would mean more than 80% of the male population are alphas. And that seems to be by far too many of them. They would have turned extinct by their fights long time ago. ;-)

    By the way, I’m not sure if I’m alpha, beta or even gamma.

  4. What’s the deal here? I have never seen such absolute rubbish.
    Just keep it simple..some chciks are hot…some are not….some will be interested and some won’t.
    I’m actuallty very shy around women…but I’m lucky because i’m good looking and i don’t really need to try when i go out..
    I always end up with something that meets my standards.
    Stop being fooled into thinking there are ways that are guranteed to make your more succesful..like hypnotism..Just go to the gym…work on yourself, dress better be confident and you cant loose.
    THE MAIN THING IS>>>STOP GIVING A SHIT ABOUT WHETHER YOU SCORE OR NOT…otherwise you just get frustrated with yourself and your whole self esteeem hangs on the balance of women in a club…LOOOOOOOOOOL
    come on people…sort it out for F’s sake.

  5. I will try some dirty pick up lines, like the guy on the video
