A study by the University of Texas at Austin has confirmed suspicions that men are only interested in a woman's body in a short-term relationship. The results support the hypothesis that men are attracted to women's bodies in short-term mating contexts, such as a pub, bar or nightclub. Poster Comment: The author is "Harry Wallop". LOL. Anyway, seriously, did we really need scientists to study this? Maybe we look at faces because in a relationship we'll have to look at it frequently. Shallow? Yes. I'm a guy. Sorry.
Scientists found that men will only study a woman's face if they are looking for a wife, rather than a short-term partner.
...
The tests showed that men were much more likely to choose someone with a curvy body for a date, while they might opt for a pretty face for a longer-term relationship.
...
Based on the theory that fertility cues are more readily assessed from a woman's body than her face, the Texas study tested the hypothesis that men evaluating a potential short-term mate would give higher priority to information gleaned from her body, relative to her face, than men evaluating a potential long-term mate.
Women assigned to the short-term and long-term mating conditions all gave greater priority to information obtained from an opposite sex individual's face
In contrast, women's relative preferences were unaffected by mating condition, suggesting that women consistently prioritise facial cues over bodily cues.
...
The study shows that for men, but not for women, priority shifting takes place based on the pursuit of short-term and long-term mating strategies.
Maybe I just have a dirty mind...
A government grant no doubt.
For a quickie, her body is more important. Her face can look like a moose.
And yes, I'll look at your ass when you walk away. :)

When you conduct a study at what is considered a "party college", you are going to get results like this.

Articles like this are why I dismiss evolutionary psychology as nonsense.
