What turns women on--answers
are surprising
By TIM KRAUSE
of the U.P. staff
What physical features of men “turn
on” women? What do men think turns
on women? What do women say turns
them on? Do what men think, and what
women say concur?
To find the answer to these questions
the Village Voice asked 100 men and 100
women what physical characteristic of
men most turned women on.
The difference in what men said the
women liked, and what the ladies said
they liked was startling.
Although the people quizzed said it
seemed irregular to view males as sex
objects they did give specific respon-
ses.
Fifty four percent of the men said
that muscles and genitalia were the
main objects of female attention.
Women though, claimed to be
“disgusted” by these.
The breakdown in this area had 21
men naming muscular chest and
shoulders, 18 naming muscular arms
and 15 favoring the pelvis. Only one
woman named a muscular chest as
having appeal, not one favored
muscular arms and only two named
male genitalia.
Over one-third (39) of the women said
that the most attractive physical
feature in men is small and sexy but-
tocks. Only four men named this at-
tribute, showing an obvious difference
in what men and women think.
The second most popular feature with
women was slimness. Fifteen of the 100
women named slimness, and another 13
favored a flat stomach. Only 16 men
thought women found either of these
Jefferson would be popular
dinner guest at 2nd coining
By TIM KRAUSE
of the U.P. staff .
If you could invite any ten people that
ever lived to dinner, whom would you
invite?
This question was put to several
members of the Lamar faculty, in
hopes of receiving several enlightening
gems from these superior minds.
The five instructors polled were: Dr.
George Wall, professor of English; Mr.
Dwight Lambert, adjunct instructor of
government; Mrs. JoAnn Stiles, in-
structor of history; Dr. John Storey,
associate professor of history; Dr.
Wesley Norton, professor of history.
Dr. Wall chose people that reflect his
interest in philosophy and religion, as
well as a couple of surprises. 1) Jesus
2) Socrates 3) Marcus Aurelius 4)
Mohammed 5) Leonardo 6) Jefferson 7)
Erasmus (Dutch theologian) 8)
Dostoevski 9) Niels Bohr 10)
Beethoven.
Mr. Lambert’s list showed an obvious
interest in American politics as well as
several historically important people.
1) Jefferson 2) Washington 3) Franklin
Roosevelt 4) Woodrow Wilson 5) Dr.
Samuel Johnson 6) Milton 7) Aristotle
8) Darwin 9)St. Paul 10)Elizabeth I.
He added that he would sacrifice all
of them for Jefferson. “He was in-
telligent, reserved and remarkably
talented.”
Mrs. Stiles named three women and
several obscure people on her list. “I
didn’t want to ask the same old people;
these were people that interset me.”
l)William Penn 2)Sequoia(“a genius”)
3) Aaron Burr 4) Marcus Garvey 5)
Edith Wharton 6) John Peter Altgeld 7)
George Kennan 8) Emma Goldman 9)
Gertrude Pankratz 10) Joseph Smith.
Pankratz was a midwife on the Texas
frontier in the late 19th century. “I
would ask her how women lived under
the conditions of the time. ”
Dr. Storey had a list that showed his
interest in South American history, but
also had a wide-ranging mix of people.
1) Simon Bolivar 2) Samuel “Golden
Rule” Jones 3) Walter Rauschenbusch
4) Thorstein Veblen (American
political economist in the late 1800’s and
early 20th century) 5) Talleyrand 6)
Jane Storms 7) Eric Blair (George Or-
well) 8) Margaret Fuller 9) Bernal Diaz
10) James Madison.
Dr. Norton also chose people that
reflected his interest in American
history. 1-3) James Madison, Alexan-
der Hamilton and John Jay (“to reex-
plain the Constitution”) 4) Frederick
Douglas 5) Jefferson 6&7) Andrew Car-
negie and Henry Ford 8) Lincoln (“to
deliver his Gettysburg address”) 9)
George Washington 10) Abigail Adams.
Not surprisingly the instructors chose
people surrounded by mystery and
unanswered questions. The one sur-
prise was how few people lapped over
on to other lists. The only popular per-
son was Jefferson, making three of the
five.

two features attractive.
Other differences in the survey had 13
men naming tallness as exciting to
ladies, while only five women con-
curred. 11 women found eyes to be a
turn on, only four men thought they did.
Long legs were liked by six of the
women polled, while three men named
this attribute.
Researchers found that the favorite
male physiques for women were a kind
of V-look with a thin lower trunk, a
medium-thin lower trunk and a
medium-wide upper trunk. The least
popular was the ‘pear shaped’ with
either a thin upper trunk or a wide
lower trunk.
Another finding of the research was
that clean-living, extra vert, sporty
women liked muscular men; while
neurotic, radical women liked thinner
figures.
