I disagree with the study completely. I'm probably within the age group that they worked with (low 20's) and I've actually never gone out with a muscly or toned guy. Not because I couldn't I've had a few offers but because I haven't been attracted to them as an individual. My partners have always tended to be skinny or slightly pudgy (just a few love handles).
I'd rather go out with someone I can have a decent conversation about my latest computer game frenzy or the book I am reading, a guy that's willing to come and watch my dance shows and even if he doesn't want to be there pretend he does to support me then someone who is just eye candy.
Hmmm kinda shows in who I picked as sexy in the 'sexy people' thread to lol, smart, slightly awkward Dr type.
But moving aside from what is after all just my personal preference / history the study wasn't done in an overly accurate way. First of all the selection of subjects was WAY too small and all come from the same area geographically (and probably socio-economically). This also applies to the male applicants. Also ALL of these people selected have the same level of education - I would like to see how a similar studywould have gone if they had selected people working minimum wage jobs.
The entire thing about muscular men being more aggressive is completely ridiculous as well. Some muscular men are extremely concious about their strength and go to great lengths to ensure they don't hurt anyone where as a coke addict is more likely to be skeletally slender and suffer from extreme mood swings.
But yeah as you can see I don't find it very scientifically accurate.
