A new study is out today and apparently, Rico Suave is now a statistic.
Listening to WFAN this morning, the fellas were talking about a new study from New Mexico State University in Las Cruces that shows women are more attracted to bad boys than good boys. Researchers differ on whether it is the physiology or psychology of bad boys that lure women. These bad boys have dark triad traits–narcissism, extroversion, impulsiveness, etc.
One thing is clear with all this, though, that the sweet young things are not bringing the ladies home with as much frequency as their counterparts, to which I say, duh.
It is clear with this study that only the short-term, immediate female reactions were considered when meeting men. Yes, women may intially be more attracted to the bad boy, but it usually doesn’t last in the long run. If it does last, the woman inevitably ends up distraught, upset, and in denial, always a winning combination.
But honestly, women still go home with these type of men? ABC News found this winner, Ricky Menezes, who claims that he will hook up with at least 20 girls a month. 20 girls a month? That’s an average of 1.41 girls a day, or 5 girls a weekend. Unless you are the Energizer Bunny, I really don’t think that type of achievement is possible.
And this just in from NBC News–”Science proves that bikinis make men into boobs.” A paper in the Journal of Consumer Research says that men make poor decisions when looking at women in bikinis. Could you imagine that research proposal?
Professor: Johnson, what do you want to study?
Student: Boobs, sir. Boobs, men, and how they interact.
Professor: Boobs. Men. Interactions…Brilliant!
It all comes down to this, that men are operating within a very narrow window of judgment while aroused and women are thus easy victims. I mean, just look at this year’s Superbowl quarterbacks, Tom Brady and Eli Manning, the ultimate bad boy versus good boy.
Tom Brady is an absolutely delicious looking individual and if he ever wanted to narrowly judge me, that would be so awesome. But then Tom would leave me and I’d be very upset because I don’t look like Gisele and can actually carry on a conversation. Eli Manning on the other hand, strikes me as an absolute sweetheart and probably only narrowly judges whether or not Plaxico Burress could receive the most epic throw of all time.
And obviously, who won in that clash of titans?
