Carruthers:
Do men really prefer blondes?
Jena Pincott:
They do seem to have a slight edge for a few reasons. The singer
Blondie put it "Being blonde is like walking around under
your own spotlight."
Jena Pincott,
author of the book
Do Gentlemen Really Prefer Blondes?…
It's rarer and
brighter than the other hair colors - it just pops out more.
It's also associated with youth. We all know hair darkens with
age so being blonde, even being a bottle blonde, is a sign of
youth and fertility.
Although it's
unconscious, men are attracted to women with larger pupils.
There was one
classic experiment in which men were asked to look at two pictures
of a woman identical in every way except for pupil size. And
then when asked to pick which one was more attractive, the guys
chose the picture with the big pupils. And then when asked why,
the men really couldn't explain.
And what is it
about high heels?
Basically heels
make your legs look longer and long legs are associated with
good health. In fact there's one really fun study that shows
that legs that are five percent and even up to ten percent longer
than average for a given height are basically considered ideal.
And for most women that means if you wear heels that are one-and-a-half
to three inches high, they'll put you in that developmental
sweet spot.
