What do women find attractive in men there
have been a number of studies on this very specific topic is it bearded men it is short
men tall men dark handsome men Turkish whatever no they didn't address Turkish men at all
in any of these studies but none the less what they did look at included things like
facial hair height whether or not the man is willing to take on some household duties
what kind of household duties makes a man a attractive verses unattractive lots of interesting
things come out from all these different studies so Cosmopolitan actually compiled a list of
these things and I thought it was facilitating to say the least right and so I want us to
discuss these because I found a lot of these studies or the findings from these studies
to be surprising so one of the things that women tend to find more attractive and this
is based on surveys and the respondents said the following full bearded men may be perceived
as better fathers who protect and invest in offspring me have beard me protect and offspring
that's insane I like some facial hair I like tacos so we have talked about that on the
young turks before but there are other things so an NYU study found that as far as relationships
go the shorter the partner the sweeter the juice what yeah I don't believe it either
Dalton Conley a sociologist at the university and Abigail Weitzman a PhD candidate combed
through data on 5,000 families culled from nearly 50 years of research and concluded
that vertically challenged that is not the right way to describe them do more housework
are less likely to get divorced and even a greater portion of household income well OK
many things first of all sweeter the juice is a term I object to OK in this context OK
second of all yeah all those things happen they get divorced less but there might be
a lot of reasons for that it might be that they've trying hard cause they're vertically
challenged here's what they found they found coloration that doesn't mean much right right
but it still think it's interesting that this this trend was visible based on it doesn't
mean that they are necessarily more desirable and you remember I had that epiphany recently
where I finally figured out what women are into tall guys cause you just realized that
yeah yeah and remember your brother's wedding with your boyfriend right like people like
all my life I've seen like guys good looking whatever then there's another guy who's good
looking and one guy get's all the attention I'm like what is it and then knucklehead Cenk
45 years later figured out oh that dude is tall that's why all the girls are like oh
my god sweeter the juice he's also charismatic and well built I'm not talking about your
boyfriend please don't bore OK I'm talking about in general alright what's next so research
has also shown that for a long lasting relationship it's preferable for the men to be less attractive
than the woman so this is fascinating this is probably the most interesting thing that
I read because I was like why why does the woman have to be more attractive than the
man it's because generally speaking right and and this is not true of all men men tend
to care about looks more than women do right and so a woman's going to look to things like
oh is he smart is he funny he going to be a good husband a good provider blah blah blah
right whereas the man's like is she hot and they care about other things too of course
but if a man ends up dating or is married to a woman that he perceives to be more attractive
than him then he feels like he struck it rich right so he's really got to do everything
he can to make that relationship work cause he doesn't want to lose her oh interesting
so that's the hypothesis behind it I don't know whether not whether or not it really
holds true but I think it's an interesting thought whereas if he's more attractive than
her he's like I mean what's the downside I'll probably get somebody hotter anyway if this
doesn't work out fascinating fascinating OK none of these things are definitive of course
no but it's an interesting we're just trying to spark a conversation OK finally a professor
at the university of Alberta surveyed nearly 3,000 to find that teenagers who experienced
rock relationships with their parents has more romantic problems later in life so if
you had a turbulent childhood you're likely to have a turbulent marriage as well the most
logical thing I've ever heard because you grow up thinking that that was the standard
relationship so when you have a relationship of your own that's what you do yeah so I love
all this stuff again please take it with a grain of salt but one other study that we
did talk about on the Young Turks in the past talked about couples who smoke marijuana together
and if couples smoke marijuana together they're less likely to engage in domestic violence
yeah of course cause they're high which apparently would be news to Bill Bratton would be like
they're going to kill each other they're going to have a marijuana war in the house they're
going to be fine they're going to chill out and every's going to be good
