Studies like this one shouldn't be allowed to make front page news. It had a grand total of 46 participants, which is hardly any better than experiments I've run in freshmen psych classes. The study concludes that men want hot women, which contradicts a bunch of far larger well conducted studies. Hot men want hot women, but in general people tend to look for someone around the same level of attractiveness as they think they are. The study found this to be true for women, though.

*grump*

I guess I'm just annoyed because an article that reinforces the idea that men are superficial is considered popular reading. I'm probably less annoyed by the fact that the study is flawed.
