A recent study from St. Andrew’s College in Scotland revealed what women look for in men’s faces, and I found it to be utterly fascinating.
Out of all the different facial shapes that men have, doctors say that there’s no such thing as a ‘perfect’ face.
However, the researchers have obviously never seen Rico Suave.The study shows that women want men’s faces to have more feminine features.
When I first heard this, I didn’t really think about it, but then it hit me. If women want men who look like women, wouldn’t that make them ‘ lesbians?
It would certainly explain a lot, such as why I can never get a date. Silly me; for all these years, I thought that it was because I was a loser. But no, it just turns out that all the girls have the hots for one another.
Think about it: have you ever been at the mall and seen two girls who are ‘friends’ walking around holding hands? Yes, yet you never see two guys doing that. Girls are so quick to say other girls are pretty.
But I bet you’ve never heard some guy saying, ‘Hey, look at Jake over there. My gosh is he a handsome man. If I was a girl, I would totally go out with him.’
And the strongest piece of evidence is the fact that girl sleepovers always conclude in massive tickle/pillow/ whipped cream fights. Or at least that’s what I’ve heard. Guys don’t do that.
If guys get into a pillow fight, it’s not some sort of wimpy, ‘Oh, look at us, we’re having a pillow fight,’ sort of thing.
No, the intention is to inflict pain upon the other guy. But I may be getting ahead of myself.
Let me elaborate a little bit more on men’s facial shapes. Some men have very chiseled faces, with strong jaw lines. Others have softer, more round (baby) faces. Each has its pros and cons.
For instance, a man with an angular face is more likely to receive a promotion in the military. Men with rounder faces, give off a persona of being trustworthy, and are statistically less likely to be convicted.
What does that mean?
First of all, if you have a baby face, and you’re in the army, and passed up for a promotion by a guy with a stone face, just kill him so you can have his job.
And when you’re charged for the murder, you’ll be acquitted.’Your honor, does this look like the face of a man who would buy his new superior officer a congratulatory drink that was laced with rat poison?’Judge: ‘You seem to know a lot of specific details about the crime but look at you, you’#39;re adorable. I’m sure it couldn’t have been you. Case dismissed.’
And it would happen exactly like that, too. People have always told me I look rather youthful ‘ well, they actually tell me that I act like a little kid, but I think it means the same thing.
A group of students at Miami University did a study on what men and women look for in features, and they essentially search for the exact same things the same types of eyes, same lips, and same noses but both look for the more feminine versions.
It’s the baby faces that look more feminine, and those are the types of faces that women were shown to be more receptive to for the prospect of a long-term relationship (such as marriage).
Think about that for a second.
We’ll never hear a study that’s the other way around. We’ll never hear that guys want women who look like men.
You’ll never be at a club and overhear two guys talking, ‘Oh yeah, look at Blanch over there. She’s got one of those woman mustaches; man, that’s hot.’
No, not in a million years. And as I’ve said, it might just be me, but it seems so interesting that women want men who look like them.
Then again, I might be taking this study a little too literally. But I don’t really have time to think about it. The doctor just called me out of the waiting room for my breast implants.
