This one pains us to write. But ladies, if you're looking for a one-night stand, it's best to play it stupid.

 

In a study published in Evolution and Human Behavior, graduate students at the University of Texas–Austin found that that men were most attracted to women who appeared "dimwitted- or immature," or "sleepy or intoxicated" for a one-night stand (charming).

 

Women who appeared quick-witted and lucid, on the other hand, were found less physically attractive.

 

Thankfully, the opposite was true when men were seeking long-term partners.

 

 

Women rated men with bearded faces as less attractive in a recent study in the Oxford Journal.

 

The study found that men with beards were seen as more aggressive and of a higher social-status, but not better looking.

 

 

Ladies, pick up some red lipstick next time you're at the drug store.

 

A woman's lips are the most attractive part of her body, especially when colored with red lipstick, a study from the Manchester University revealed.

 

The study found that men stared at a woman's lips for seven full seconds when they were colored red. In comparison, they spent just 0.95 seconds looking at her eyes and 0.85 seconds gazing at her hair.

 

 

A study in Psychological Science showed that women found a man more attractive when she wasn't sure how strongly he felt about her, as opposed to when she was certain he was very interested in her.

 

The study found that women started thinking about a man more when she was uncertain if he really liked her or not. Then, she would conclude she liked him since she couldn't "get this guy out of her head."

 

Overall, the study suggested that if men hold back some of their feelings at the very beginning, and create some mystery, he'll be more likely to hook a member of the opposite sex.
