The study is flawed. They changed the group of volunteers instead of changing the pictures. That brings a few more variables that severly change the results.

Proof?
I don't like generalizations like that. How would women like if I said they WERE obsessed with looks, but not the looks of others. They're all obsessed with the way they themselves look.
This is not true with many women. Just like that "long since known" statement about men isn't true.

Ok, so it's a silly article... but it did first appear in the Courier-Mail which is a 'serious' daily paper (though it's pretty rubbish.. as you can probably tell )
I just loved the complete lack of substantiation, amazing generalisations and assumptions... news reporting at its finest Posts: 4393 | Registered: Aug 2003

So, what he's saying is women find men less attractive when they (the women) are drunk.
So, based on this, when I was at a party a few weeks ago and some girl who was drunk out of her mind was throwing herself at me, I can conclude that I must uber-hot. I mean, my attractiveness had to be so extreme that it overwhelmed her even while she was drunk.
This study is amazing! Bring on more studies!
It probably also explains why I couldn't get Ophelia in my pants at Hatrack.ca Her standards are just higher than the previous girl Posts: 3243 | Registered: Apr 2002

This is more excusable though: it's from the Townsville Bulletin (Townsville is a small-ish city in far north Queensland <Australia... but you all knew that >) - there's not much else to do in Townsville besides watch chickens! Posts: 4393 | Registered: Aug 2003

So, if women think men are uglier when the women are drunk, what does that prove? The researchers also said that women don't value appearance as much as men.
So haven't they just proved nothing?

Perhaps when women get drunk, they find other women more attractive. It could simply be that alcohol makes women -- regardless of the gender of the drinker -- look better.

If the study is legit, it makes some sense.
All a man has to do to procreate is mate. A woman has to take care of the child and be taken care of. It makes sense that the brain is wired so that when judgement is removed (this is what alcohol does), men couldn't care less who they are with and will say anything to mate, while women are still concerned with finding a 'real' man.
