New Study finds men look at faces of women, not bodies.

I can't say I'm that surprised. IMO, most of a woman's beauty is in her face.

Combine this study with two others: http://www.science20.com/news_articles/gender_and_porn_where_men_and_women_look_first

http://www.bristol.ac.uk/expsych/news/2012/87.html

And the idea of the objectifying gaze is falling apart. In fact, women are the ones who objectify each other, analyzing each others bodies as competition rather than as other people. Projection perhaps?

Yes the face is the most important as looks goes for me.

You can't look at their faces for too long, it makes them notice you and then things get awkward.

When I saw that Jezebel article, my first thought was, "So what if they do?" Talk about much ado about nothing.

Hell.. IDK which gets more attention myself. Mostly I think it's the entire package. Face/body.. sometimes more focus on particular but as a whole, is messy business this talk. IDK all I know is I bloody well can't help myself wrt looking at women. EDIT: IMO Character trumps the physical. If a woman has both she's got the world by the balls, heh, so to speak. The physical part gets attention but it's the character that holds it.

When presented with a naked member of the opposite sex, men look at the woman's face first, women look at the man's penis first. Both are the optimal strategy for detecting whether the naked individual is aroused.

I know I do.

Lol. I read that Jezebel article today... yet it surprises me not even a little that they got it backward. They do some of the poorest reporting on studies I have seen.

I suggest posting this in the MRA reference section. I can totally see this coming up in a discussion with people down the line.
