Does size really matter that much?

According to scientists in Essex, the taller the fella and the slimmer the girl, the more attractive they are. Apparently, for every inch taller a man is than his “rivals” at speed-dating sessions, the number of women who want to meet him again increases by five per cent.  The two clever blokes responsible for the findings analysed the choices made by 1,800 men and 1,800 women at 84 speed-dating events across the country.

No chance… and every chance!

For all you men who are fat couch potatoes you will be pleased to know that a fat bloke will not impede his chances of getting lucky, however a fat girl will. Get this; A woman who is clinically overweight, with a body-mass index (BMI) of more than 25, is selected by 70 per cent fewer men while women who are unhealthily thin, with an index of less than 18.5, are no more or less successful than women of normal weight.

Cont…

An obvious find was that speed-dating smokers have little success other than with fellow smokers. Filthy habit anyway. Neither is being a “dumb blonde” a guarantee of success. Women with a university degree are 10 per cent more successful than those without. But, in general, men and women prefer people with a similar level of education to their own. (ANI)

Another fascinating find was that being young is a big help. Each extra year of age, compared with others in the group, reduces a man’s success by four per cent and a woman’s by five per cent.

So, to summarise while the results sound like bad news for big women and short, ageing men and smokers. Get you ass down the gym and of the couch!
