Shocking, shocking news

[andrewducker]

Women choose wealthy partners, men choose sexy ones. - one wonders what the conflation between "wealthy" and "good at something" is in that study.
Also Kissing means more to women than men - apparently women use kissing to assess the person they're kissing. Which strikes me as a good reason why so many women end up with appalling partners.

As far as I'm concerned it doesn't make a blind bit of difference to me whether a man is wealthy or not. I place more importance on personality and attraction than I do on how much they earn, which should be painfully obvious from my previous choices of partners. I need to feel attracted to someone so I have to find them sexy to be with them. I can't imagine being with anyone whom I didn't find sexy or didn't enjoy kissing! I love kissing: to me it's a way of showing affection and I don't analyse the kiss itself, I enjoy it for what it brings - a sense of closeness to my partner.

well said that woman!!!

I'd add that kisses are damned sexy as well as affecionate. It's a whole body thing, not just the mouth/tounge, ya know? Or at least the way I do it is (some people have found that [pleasurably] surprising, though, so clearly not everyone does the same).

I'd certainly agree. A lot of the pleasure in kissing is to do with the body lanaguage, they way you lean into each other and can feel the other person's body heat. It's the way you touch each other - I find the look my partner gives me just before he kisses me highly erotic.
