The secret to men's sex appeal? Study finds surprising answer

An article on CBS News reports on a UB study that found men’s prowess as storytellers to be a big factor in their perceived status and attractiveness to the opposite sex, and quotes Melanie Green, associate professor of communication and co-author of the study. “We were surprised at how consistent and specific the effect was. We had originally thought that there might be a gender difference, since there's a long history of research showing gender differences in what is considered attractive, but we thought it was equally likely that storytelling might be appealing to both genders (similar to traits such as intelligence and kindness). But the ‘only for men and only for long-term relationships’ pattern kept replicating in our data,” she said. Articles also appeared on MSN and Australia’s Yahoo Lifestyle.
