This Is Why You're Hot
Turn me on, Science!
Mathematics may not sound sexy, but the right measurements determine sexual attraction within milliseconds for men, it has been revealed.
New Zealand anthropologist Barnaby Dixson studied what the sexes found attractive in a partner across cultures and over history using a method of eye tracking.
The usual suspects of personality, breast size and weight apparently do not figure.
Instead, Dixson found the same formula for what men favoured in women came up almost every single time: a waist-to-hip ratio of 0.7.
Dixson theorizes that this ratio tells men that they are looking at the perfect body to put a baby into. The Daily Mail-because where else would this report come from-helpfully includes a pointer on how to calculate your own waist-to-hip ratio (sourced, amusingly, to eHow) so that you can determine whether or not you have the kind of body men would want to put a baby into. I hope you do! Because otherwise you are going to die alone with only your mismatched hips and waist to show that you ever existed. Good luck!
