Sex, Women and the Truth About What Women Think...
About Women
by Kevin Hogan
There are literally millions of women that a given man would agree to have sex with, right now, first meeting, if only one of the collective "she" would ask.... And they don't mind admitting it to the researchers.
But they rarely get asked for such an activity, except of course, by social psychologists doing research...
On the other hand, those same men are far more picky about who they would have a relationship with, or even consider trying to. (Surprisingly complex thinking given the subjects are men!)
Almost all women report they would never have sex with men, right now, first meeting when asked...of course that is report.
That's what the research tells us from numerous recent studies.
Men contrast with women in so many fascinating ways that I figured we might as well let the kitten out of the bag and look at some of the most recent, fascinating and sometimes uncomfortable research.
Attractive Women Sell... (My How They Sell)
Everyone knows that attractive women (not women, but attractive women) on the cover of magazines... sell magazines...but "attractive" has a number of different sub-typologies that most of us don't consciously think about...
Funny thing is, to men there are far more types of attractive women than there are to women. (What? Men are more complex in some life area other than women? Yep, it's true. Stop the presses!)
I give interviews on these kinds of things to a slew of female reporters from magazines such as Cosmopolitan and First for Women and I also get to ask questions as to what they are trying to connect with in the minds of women.
For those of you in sales and marketing..here's your $35,000,000 worth of free consulting to find out what women FEEL, what they THINK, what they REACT to and every now and then I'll chime in with a response about men. (Men really don't require much analysis...)
The Six Types of 'Attractive'
Recently, fashion editors (both male and female) at some of the big shot New York magazine publishers distinguished six types of beauty in women. The researchers launched the study with the original goal of determining what sort of models epitomized six different types of beauty —
Here's what they determined:
“classic feminine,”
“sensual exotic,”
“trendy,”
“cute,”
“girl next door”
“sex kitten”
Smart idea.
Know your market.
Know how they think.
These six types had also been identified as advertising archetypes by earlier researchers.
What happened in the most recent study where women actually were asked what they thought?
