Time to invest in some E.Lauder stock

I just love surveys and polls. Statistics statistics statistics. Can you blame me? Psychology major, enough said.

So, yesterday during my breakfast run-through of the daily newspaper, I was tickled by an article citing a survey that Singaporean men placed a women's physical appearance at the top of their list when it came to evaluating their dating partners. The results were near unanimous.

Of course, this was necessarily polled from an assumed randomly selected population. Size: around 3800 men. Considering the minute amount of people that inhabit this little red dot- 4.5 million, and guess-timating that about half belong to the non-female species (2.25 million), 3800 does not even make 0.2 percent of all Singaporean men.

Nonetheless, the main argument of the article was not one I could dismiss. Women of Singapore: Run out and buy that bottle of creme de la mer already, you are certainly going to need it. The verdict is in, its no longer about the good girl/ bad girl (sorry Rhianna) , its all about that immaculately packaged barbie-doll. There is no running from the Mattel generation.

Le sigh, they always told you that men were visual creatures anyways, right?

So, my question is- how is that blind men still fall in love?

blind men, or real men simply fall in love with beauty that cannot be bought or packaged into a tube of ointment.

love does not exist between man and woman... only between man and dog
