American Psychological Association Monitor: Headline of a report on a psychological study:

BOTH SEXES SEEK ATTRACTIVENESS IN ONE-NIGHT STAND PARTNERS

This study will be published this week in the psychological journal Duh.

Seriously, it was actually published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.

The real question here is not what they seek, but what they'll settle for.

That little piece of information would save us guys a lot of trouble. And rejection.

I suspect the standard is somewhat higher for women than it is for men.

For best results, hit on the cute girl's friend.
And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

My pals in the navy used to play this game where everyone would pitch in to drain a few pitchers of beer. Then they'd fill up a pitcher with 20's. Then they'd try to pick up the least attractive woman possible. The winner go the pitcher of dough.

Shallow as it was, I loved this game when I was carousing, because that meant there were a lot more attractive women available ;)

I read a study once that said lesbians virtually never have one-night stands. I forgot which journal it was in. A sociology journal or something...I remember that it compared straight men (and women), and gay men to the lesbians. The lesbians as a group just didn't have one night stands.

If You Wanna Be Happy -- Jimmy Soul

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

A pretty woman makes her husband look small
And very often causes his downfall
As soon as he married her and then she starts
To do the things that will break his heart

But if you make an ugly woman your wife
A-you'll be happy for the rest of your life
An ug-a-ly woman cooks meals on time
And she'll always give you peace of mind

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

Don't let your friends say you have no taste
Go ahead and marry anyway
Though her face is ugly, her eyes don't match
Take it from me, she's a better catch

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

[Spoken:]
Say man!
Hey baby!
I saw your wife the other day!
Yeah?
Yeah, an' she's ug-leeee!
Yeah, she's ugly, but she sure can cook, baby!
Yeah, alright!

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

Graphs, man; we need graphs. How does it plot out? Is it a bell-shaped curve. An arithmetic or geometric progression? What kind of graph paper do we need to make sure it graphs as a straight line? We must quantify. How many beers do I have to buy this lady to make sure her standards are as low as mine?

Ask the folks who did this study: 'Beauty is in the eye of the beerholder'.
