So, I was reading a chapter in my Evolutionary Psychology textbook entitled "Short Term Sexual Strategies," and I came across a few things the BoBs might find interesting and useful.
Here's one quote that might explain why the BoBs like Scandis so much. "The mainland Chinese prize virginity, whereas the Swedes think virgins are a bit odd (Buss, 1989)."
Here's another section the BoBs might find interesting:
“The Closing Time Phenomenon. A related psychological clue to men’s strategy of casual sex comes from studies that examine shifts in judgments of attractiveness over the course of an evening at singles bars (Glaude & Delaney, 1990; Nida & Koon, 1983; Pennebaker, Dyer, Caulkins, Litowixz, Ackerman, & Anderson, 1979). In one study, 137 men and 80 women in a bar were approached at 9:00 pm, 10:30 pm, and 12:00 am and asked to rate the attractiveness of members of the opposite sex in the bar using a ten-point scale (Glaude & Delaney, 1990). As closing time approached, men viewed women as increasingly attractive. The average judgment at 9:00 was 5.5, but by midnight it had increased to over 6.5. Women’s judgments of men’s attractiveness also increased over time, but women perceived the male bar patrons as less attractive overall compared with the men’s perceptions of the women. Women rated the men at the bar as just below the average of 5.0 at 9:00, increasing near the midnight closing time to only 5.5.
“Men’s shift in perception of attractiveness near closing time occurs regardless of how much alcohol they have consumed. Whether a man consumed a single drink or six drinks had no effect on the shift in viewing women as more attractive. The often noted “beer goggles” phenomenon, whereby women are presumed to be viewed as more attractive with men’s increasing intoxication, may instead be attributable to a psychological mechanism that is sensitive to decreasing opportunities over the course of the evening for casual sex. As the evening progresses and a man has not yet been successful in picking up a woman, he views the remaining women in the bar as increasingly attractive, a shift that will presumably increase his attempts to solicit sex from these women. The closing time phenomenon appears to represent a psychological solution to the problem of sexual accessibility- a context-specific lowering of standards as the likelihood of sexual accessibility begins to drop.”
Pretty much what the BoBs call the 2am dash for gash, but in academic terms. This also may explain why Vince has porked many ditch-pigs.
