Study: Girls Are Prettier at Closing Time

According to researchers at a British university, college-age men were found to be quite interested and willing to participate in casual, one-night-stand sex but they are not choosy regarding their partners.

On the other hand, women were largely only willing to have casual sex with studmuffins.

The authors conclude: "While men are not entirely insensitive to their requestor's attractiveness, women have higher standards and are more likely to engage in casual sex with an exceptionally attractive man than with a less attractive man."

I suggest that women are usually discriminating because they view sexual activity -- even one-niters -- as part of a potential larger relationship. Therefore, they select partners who are not pukeworthy.

Alternatively, men typically view one-niters as casual episodes of self-gratification with an arbitrary member of the opposite sex. The idea of a relationship doesn't customarily enter into their one-track minds.
