What Facts Have Scientists Come Up With now!

HALF OF ALL WOMEN MAKE THEIR MINDS UP WITHIN 30 SECONDS OF MEETING A MAN WHETHER HE IS WORTH DATING

Researchers, led by Professor Richard Wiseman, of Hertfordshire University, highlighted the importance of chat-up lines with the top- rated "Casanova" line apparently being: "If you were on Stars In Their Eyes, who would you be?" Professor Wiseman said men were often accused of being shallow but that women may make their minds up much more quickly.

 PINNING A PICTURE OF CUT-OUT EYES TO A WALL MAKES YOU MORE LIKELY TO PAY INTO THE OFFICE KITTY

A cut-out of a staring pair of eyes was put above a kettle to assess its impact on freeloaders who don't contribute to the office tea-fund kitty. The ten-week project by the University of Newcastle upon Tyne's psychology department involved alternating the eye pictures with one of flowers then totting up cash left in the honesty box. When the staring eyes were in operation, takings were three times more. Researchers said the experiment showed how the brain reacts to images of faces and eyes and how people behave differently if they think they are being watched.

WOMEN DON'T GO FOR MEN WITH SQUEAKY VOICES WHEN LOOKING FOR A MATE BUT WILL GIVE THEM THE TIME OF DAY AT OTHER TIMES

Dr David Feinberg, of the University of St Andrews, found that during their fertile phase women want an "alpha male" who sounded like soul singer Barry White but the rest of the time homed in on men with "James Blunt" higher pitches whom they perceived as being more caring. Dr David Feinberg concluded: "While we normally think that masculine men are more out for one-night stands than marriage, our research suggests that highly attractive and feminine women can get these masculine men to look for commitment."
