Do Men Find Dumb-Looking Women More Attractive?

So how did this team put their sexual ?exploitability? hypothesis to the test? Goetz and her colleagues planned to call a bunch of undergraduate males into the lab and ask them to rate a set of women in terms of attractiveness based on their photographs. But first they needed to pick the appropriate images. To figure out which sorts of women might be deemed most receptive to a sexual advance or most vulnerable to male pressure or coercion, they asked a large group of students (103 men and 91 women) to nominate some ?specific actions, cues, body postures, attitudes, and personality characteristics? that might indicate receptivity or vulnerability. These could be psychological in nature (e.g., signs of low self-esteem, low intelligence, or recklessness), or they might be more contextual (e.g., fatigue, intoxication, separation from family and friends). A third category includes signs that the woman is physically weak, and thus more easily overpowered by a male (e.g., she?s slow-footed or small in stature). According to the authors, rape constitutes one extreme end of the ?exploitation? spectrum?cheesy pickup lines the other.
