Turn-On or Turn-Off: Gray Hair
We live in a culture that places a lot of emphasis on youth and looking young, which is why many women take to hair dye before they let a strand of gray tarnish their locks. While there are some men who also opt for a good dye job at the first sign of gray, it’s more common for a guy to let his hair naturally do what it’s going to do. Now, I’m not saying I’m into men decades older than me, but I do think a bit of gray flecking a beard or a salt and pepper mane can be pretty gorgeous.
It's Official: Red Is a Turn-On
Red has always been bold, but as it turns out, now it's officially sexy! A new study, as reported by Reuters, offers evidence that men are attracted to women in red. Researchers showed young heterosexual men pictures of women wearing different colors and asked them to rate the women by attractiveness and their desire to both kiss and have sex with them.
Do Tell: Are You Into Dirty Talk?
I know that most of you aren't fans of baby talk, but what about dirty talk? For some, it's easy to let your mouth run wild, whether it's talking out your fantasies or descriptively describing the act at hand, but knowing how to talk dirty in a way that makes it seductive is key in order for it to work! Of course we all like to hear that we're desirable, but do tell, are you generally into dirty talk?

It's Complicated: How Women Determine Facial Attractiveness
It's no surprise that how women determine facial attractiveness is complicated. Unlike many men who may give a woman's body a once-over, and then look at her face, deeming her attractive or unattractive, women, when checking out a man's face, tend to evaluate it on two levels, according to a study that was just published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology.
The first level women use to evaluate men's faces is sexual: they zero in on features like the jawbone, cheekbones, and lips.
Men Get Dumber Speaking to Attractive Women
In news that will surprise absolutely no one, researchers have found that men get so flummoxed when speaking to attractive women — using up most of their cognitive abilities trying to impress them — that they sometimes forget basic personal information like their own addresses!
Research showed that if (presumably straight) men spent even a few minutes with an attractive woman, they didn’t perform as well on tests that measure brain function than they did after speaking to someone they didn’t find attractive. Women didn’t seem to have this reaction in the presence of men they considered handsome.
Do Tell: What Traits Do You Find Attractive?
We women have distinctive tastes. Unlike men, women have varying opinions on what is attractive.
A study we discussed earlier this week asked people to rate pictures based on attractiveness.
You Asked: I Only Attract Much Older Men
Dear Sugar,
I am a young, college student who is comfortable in her own skin. However, I seem to only be pursued by men that are much older than me. Guys my age just seem to look straight past me, while older men always show interest in me.
Study Suggests Opposites Don't Attract
Opposites attract, right? Paula Abdul said so, but as it turns out, she may need to rewrite that song! A new study shows that when it comes to finding a long-term partner, people look for others who share similar characteristics.
The How-To Lounge: Being Attracted to the Right Type
For whatever reason, most of us continually find ourselves attracted to a certain type of person. Sometimes you don’t even notice it, but you can usually find a common thread that runs throughout your past partners and love interests. Unfortunately, because of this strange phenomenon, many people end up dating the wrong guys over and over again.
Dear Poll: Should Attraction Be Instantaneous or Grow Over Time?
Though we all have different opinions on whether or not love at first sight is possible, I’m sure we’ve all experienced serious attraction upon a first encounter — and I don’t just mean physical — sometimes you just connect!
Then again, it’s also common for feelings of attraction to grow over time; you can meet someone as a friend and find yourself more and more attracted as you get to know him. I'm guessing we've all experienced both types of attraction, but when it comes to creating a lasting relationship, which do you think is better?
