1. All data is useful

if a study finds that the men involved in the study are put off by eyeglasses and flushed faces, and attracted to boob-touching and cluelessness... that's informative.

At least, it's informative about the men involved.

The conclusions of the study and some of the premises of it are definitely knuckle-draggingly inane.. .but I still find the data collected to be interesting. Anyone else?

3. Thanks for that MerryBlooms!

I was sort of in stitches. Trick men into thinking they tricked you into.....

WOW!

All women have to do is touch their own boob!

4. Uggggh... that title is too stupid, it makes me not want to click.

Besides if a woman wants a one night stand, just walk up, ask if s/he's involved with anyone, and if s/he says no and seems convincing then just ask. I never had time for all these bullshit games.

Oh and it helps to use a fake name and not give out your real number.

5. " helps to use a fake name and not give out your real number." and dont mention what company

you were for

6. Or make up a fake job!

It can be awkward if they happen to spot you on another night somewhere and demand to know wtf.

Oh well... most people understand what a 'one night stand' means.

7. So glad I clicked!

An idiotic new study has shown that when seeking a woman for a one-time funtime, men look for certain qualities —namely, is she stupid enough to have sex with me? Because the study (and the men involved) have conveniently ignored the fact that ladies sometimes want one night stands, too (also ignored: the idea that women sometimes have sex without being tricked into it), we've broken down the list of 88 traits that researchers found influenced men in their quest for sex to bring you a definitive guide to tricking dudes into thinking that they're tricking you into having sexwith them.

Sexual exploitability: observable cues and their link to sexual attraction will be published in this month's issue of Evolution and Human Behavior, which looks to be the sort of publication that pats men on the head for being assholes and tells them that it's not their fault that they're dicks — that's evolution, baby! — and this sexual exploitability study is no exception. It postulates that because reproduction requires less parental investment for men than it does for women (an expulsionof spooj followed by an indefinite trip to the store to pick up some cigarettes versus 9 months of pregnancy followed by childbirth followed by having a baby yelling at you all the time for, like, several years), womenmust therefore be exploited if menever hope to get them to have sex with them. The study not only assumes that women are reluctant to have sexbecause of babies (the Pill never happened, apparently), every high-stakes sexual encounter that a woman has with a man is the result of the man overcoming some resistance in the woman —either via seduction or by force.

It's almost as if junk science is being used to pretend PUA bullcrap is somehow scientific.

8. yes, exactly!

[redqueen]

9. I love the part about being intimidated by a straw...

[BlueIris]

10. That part just made me cry.

How. can. anyone. think. that?

[redqueen]

11. Oh I doubt anyone does.

Just a crude joke mocking the stupidity of this 'study'.

[BlueIris]

12. Oh, thank god. This is kind of embarrassing, but

it was hard for me to tell how "serious" that 'study' or the commentary were. (Maybe I read it too fast.)

[redqueen]

13. Sadly, I think the authors of the study were earnest.

It's not common in academia to do joke studies, as far as I know. I could be wrong though.

The commentary from Jezebel was full of sarcasm and mockery.
