The woman in red drives the men crazy, study finds

I only like the color red when a woman wears it!

ive tested this out after i red it just for fun, and when i wore red, one of my close guy friends who is just a friend started becoming all flirty and touchy, and we've been friends for like 6 years

red is red XD

yes and yes again.

They did NOT need to do a study for that. They could just ask me. ;)

I guess thats why I always told my gf to get red dresses to wear for me.

OLD NEWS, why is this in here?

#eldamon stated
I'm think that dress will look great on the floor no matter what color it is '-)

You couldn't have stated that better. It's nice as long as it's on, but off and on the floor is just where that red dress should be. Though I do agree that the pose could have been better, looks like she is saying "OOOh what is that on my shoe?" and there is nothing sexy about that.

Nothing beats ....an attractive woman in a red dress.

"Red had no impact on whether women rated other women as pretty, they found.

Gay men and color blind men were excluded from the study."

Further proving that the heterosexual man has not evolved like the rest of our species. Probably due to the fact that most of the world is controlled by them (or us, me included)

Why didn't they test it against other bright colors?

Isn't the color red also linked to triggering hunger or appetite?

i could not have said it better myself, yeah? so whats the deal with that, eh? I don't get it, although i was wondering the same thing too.

You know our government spent thousands if not millions for some university professor to study for years to come up with that information. I think our tax dollars can be used for much better information. I wonder how much this information cost us? It's all federal grant money folks that bring us this kind of great scientific break-through information.

Red is just a hott color!

I think there are three reasons why red may have this effect:

1- Evolutionary. Primates often use red in face and sexual areas, so do birds and a host of other animals. Blood, blushing, anger, all the emotions are tied into this as well.

2 - It just stands out! Anything that stands out is going to attract attention.

3 - Articles like this one that placee a certain stigma or expectation. Men and women have had the "red" discussion for millenia I assume, since rouge and lipstick have been around for thousands of years anyway, so sort of like the green M&M... if there is a certain expectation, then there is a certain reaction... from both sexes.

Really?

Red is so boring.

My favourite colors for a lady to dress in are bright azure blue, bright green, purple, or yellow.

The photo in this story isn't hot at all; she looks like she's checking to see if there's gum on her shoe.

Kind of makes men sound stupid.

"AW RATS, I stepped in gum again!"

In other news - the sky was confirmed to be blue.

for sure, its like a candy apple red sportscar you can have sex with, the red making all the curves more vibrant and obvious.

I love the colour red. As much as it is a bright, confident and daring colour, I also find it alluring, soft and comforting.

Note the glasses

Its Devilish and Erotic.

that's an interesting study, and I guess it makes sense, since red is both culturally and naturally seen as a sign of arousal and sexual receptiveness (such as everything from chameleons to humans flushing pinky-red). Cool that it has so much effect even with a red border though!

Gim Tang for VP Calls McCain. shes more pretty and more smarter I bet. to hot to be republican though

I love red, especially shoes!

Actually, those boobs and that body with that dress would drive anyone crazy.

wow
i must be really, really old

i saw FILM that was called
The Woman In Red

it starred old ass Kelly LeBrock
and Gene Wilder

the soundtrack was by this blind elder who called himself
Stevie Wonder

back in my day we all knew women in red were the ones to go after

And wait a minute, isnt Sarah Palin's color red? Hm...

not surprising ... but nice to know. Red has been and is my favorite color =-] ...

We can settle this, lets get our reader (or their partners) to dress up in a red outfit and we can vote. remember the sexier the outfit the better.

Red is daring. Red is blushing. Red is anger. And red is love. All these things insight the passion of life inside us?

But I'm a blue man, there is something more deep in that color, like the ocean.

haha i love it! cool study! And yes, even girls are impressed when another girl wears a red dress, as opposed to everyone else and their blacks and whites and other colored dresses. Its just a thing. Psychology of colors...

My girl would look hotter in that dress.....

This goes beyond just wearing superficial clothes & speaks to a more primal attraction to the color of red based on survival. A woman ultimately holds the power of humanity continuing, always bearing the next generation with each of us trying to find our place & exist in harmony with Mother Earth's natural cycles, while she in turn keeps the world's ecosystems alive & running, allowing us to live.

But, for a lot of women when they take off their red dress, their ability to attract a potential mate rises with far less red visible-proof of the color's innate & seductive powers. Her red lips, the fuller the better, often brightened with lipstick are immediately inviting to the eyes-leaving the “viewer of red” waiting & wondering what the next word to be spoken will be – either yes or no.

If you’re still around, then the next most obvious red places of interest are the nipples of the breasts, reacting themselves to many stimulating circumstances. And finally, moving down to the genitalia, the reddish flesh of all can be revealed – and for many men, the most desirable because a little goes a long way, in nature’s mating game. Go Red!

Here is something funny... http://www.copycutpaste.com/blog/2008/10/29/new-study-red-makes-you-more-attract...

Red is magic. In fact, the earliest reproducible color. You can't explain it through syntax, only though ancient burial rituals...

Even if she has missing teeth, a slight mustache, uneven legs and talks with a lisp?

I am wearing red overalls tomorrow.

That chick is hot and the red dress just intensifies it for me.

Check out the woman in red in the background of this picture.

Guys? Eh? Eh? You want her...right?

I think it has a lot to do with a confident woman being more likely to wear red.

Self assured women are very attractive.

These two posts, "red dress" and "jesus", were exactly what current readers needed, Delia. Thank you. I think we all needed a break from the election bullshit. That is evidenced by the quick rise to the top for your posts.

ha ha ha she purdy

meh...women in black do it for me. not that color matters all that much.

If a woman looks like the one pictured above she could wear full body overalls and look good.

Red overalls...would probably give Alan Greenspan a MI.

It says in the study that gay men were not tested. I wonder if the color red would have the same effect on a gay man if he were to see it worn by another man?

i prefer clear but who am i to judge?

What about blue?
Very interesting post..

I'm not sure if your right, you got any more pictures?

The psychology of color is very interesting!

I wonder if? and how? this correlates to violence, testosterone and the fact that blood is red?
