Do women really think firefighters are sexy?

Yes:

Three experiments were conducted with male-confederates wearing or not a firefighter’s uniform. In the first experiment, male confederates smiled to young women whereas in the second experiment male-confederates said “hello” to young women in the street. The results shown thatâs women smiled more favorably and more openly and said âhelloâ more favorably to the firefighter. In the third experiment, male-confederates asked young-women in the street for their phone number. Results shown than women agreed more favorably to the request of the firefighter. Variations in the person-perception of the solicitor according to the presence versus absence of uniform were used to explain theoretically our data.

Hat tip: Gad Saad. He breaks down the results:

Two hundred and forty women who were strolling down the street unaccompanied were approached (120 in each of the two experimental conditions). Here are the proportions (in terms of obliging the request):

When approached by the fireman: 26 out of 120 (21.7%)

When approached by a “civilian”: 10 out of 120 (8.3%)

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
