Problem solved
How exactly should women get the attention of the opposite sex? Wonder no more because the University of Leeds has figured out the answer: bare 40 percent of your skin.
Four female researchers secretly documented a typical night at one of Leed’s biggest nightclubs, monitoring what women wore and how many guys approached them on the dance floor. That sounds about right; going to a dance club is kind of like going on safari. If you’re lucky, you might even witness a mauling at the community watering hole. For this study, researchers tabulated an exact percentage of “bare skin” for each body part:
Exposing an arm: 10 percent
Exposing a leg: 15 percent
Exposing the torso: a whopping 50 percent.
Women who could average that magical 40 percent were approached by twice as many men as those who were wrapped up in layers. Additionally, showing more than 40 percent turned men away because it demonstrated “general availability and future infidelity.” Really? I didn’t know a belly button could say so much.
The university even accounted for variables such as tightness of clothing and provocative dancing. Boy, they really didn’t mess around with this study.
So that settles it then. Just think of all those missed connections in your own dating life. There was nothing complicated about it; you simply made an error in percentages! Thanks University of Leeds! You’ve solved the great, anthropological mystery of partner selection. All women need to do is show 40 percent of their skin (no more, no less) and they will have their pick of the male mating pool. I have a feeling no one is going to be single — ever again!
