From The Academy In Canada

From Times Online:

From Marilyn Monroe’s curvacious wiggle to the catwalk strut of a supermodel, scientists have decoded the secrets of a woman’s walk — and have found that those swaying hips are not always intended to impress the opposite sex.

Watch it fellas. Don't jump to conclusions. You must know the code.

If she flaunts herself too openly at fertile times, she could be made pregnant by an unsuitable man, so women may have an evolutionary interest in sending out mixed messages, says Meghan Provost and her team, from Queen’s University, Ontario.

Be careful of those mixed messages, guys. Remember the code.

The women who were ovulating walked with smaller hip movements and with their knees closer together, New Scientist magazine reported. When 40 men were shown the images of the women walking they rated those in the less fertile part of their cycle as having the sexiest walks.

This is how "scientists" at Queens University spend their time. Previous studies showed that lap dancers earned more tips during their fertile periods, however, this study contradicts those findings.

Dr Provost said: “If women are trying to protect themselves from sexual assault at times of peak fertility, it would make sense for them to advertise attractiveness on a broad scale when they are not fertile.”

Well, of course! How women walk the walk is due to evolutionary concerns, good genes, etc. Because of the study, we now know that women don't want to be raped during their fertile periods. When women "advertise attractiveness on a broad scale when they are not fertile", what should we conclude?

The comments to the article indicate that not everyone is convinced that this study provides useful information.
