A study of how much skin needs to be exposed in order to have the best chance of attracting men has found women who bared some 40% of their flesh to be the most alluring to men.
The University of Leeds conducted an observational study around the city’s nightclubs, with researchers discretely recording the level of skin exposed in each lady’s outfit, and asking how many times each lady was approached by a man. An uncovered torso counted for 50% exposure, each arm 10% and each leg 15%.
Those exposing approximately 40% of their body attracted twice as many men as those dressed more modestly, whilst those exposing more began to attract less. Tight clothing and provocative dancing also contributed to the effectiveness of this exposure.
The researcher responsible, Dr Colin Hendrie, writes in the journal Behaviour that excessive immodesty may signal unreliability:
“Any more than 40 per cent and the signal changes from ‘allure’ to one indicating general availability and future infidelity.”
In practical terms, this seems a long winded way of saying girls wearing short, sleeveless dresses do best in the typical nightclub meat market.
Of course, as with most “psychological” research, these results are unlikely to be applicable outside western nightclubs; they take no account of the fact that nightclub goers are hardly a representative sample, or what levels of exposure work in other environments (40% might be rather too modest for a beach), and doubtless the researchers would be astonished to learn there are cultures with radically different standards of modesty to that prevalent in UK nightclubs.
However, as a guide to sexy fashion they helpfully underline the insight that often less is more…

Aaaaahh... statistics
i'm sure people in here will flock at Hatsune Miku(filtered pict or cosplayed) more than any flash exposing creature they can see
Great picture. Instant boner.
40% sounds good. Armpits are a necessity.
I like whatever skin exposure percent the schoolgirl uniforms with tight highs have.
as long as chicks wear skirts im happy
I love how breasts make a bulge in sweaters. I find that even more erotic than exposed breasts. When I see such a bulge, I always want to poke it with a finger.
ZETTAI RYOUIKI powah!!
thats why science is the best thing in the world
Eww, I am sure all fat woman will wear skiny mini dresses because of that result. Don't forget that the biggest population of the world is overweight.
School swimsuit under a Kimono.
What about bodysuit? i like that as well.
I live in Leeds ._.
Does that mean women still have to dress almost half naked?
So how many percentage is exposed in China dress ?_?
About 40% (2 arms [sleeveless] + 1 long slit along the side exposing 1 leg + thigh)
No wonder I find women in cheongsams/qipaos/chiness dresses so alluring. :D
I'm not a pervert actually, but what this article all about were true to me.
Thanks. I thought I am a weirdo when I prefer semi cladded body than naked.
Wow, what a waste of money. Why are there "studies" on things that are already obivous to everyone?
In my world, it doesn't matter how much skin is exposed, 'cause I got a real dirty imagination...
I wish there was a survey like this involving zettai ryouiki. Whenever I wear thigh highs in public, I get called a failwhore. It'd be nice to be like, "BAM! Survey! The power of SCIENCE says that no, grade A zettai ryouiki is like five percent skin exposure, so fuck you!"
Still wouldn't shut anyone up, but still.
there is no fail in thigh highs. none.
That sounds about right. I prefer a little modesty, and a girl's gotta have a sense of style too ;)
So how much is calculated for zettai ryouiki?
The percentage doesn't matter, as it's automatic perfection.
each leg is 15% and each arm is 10%.... so 2 bare legs and 1 covered arm = 40%. Who wears one long sleeve and one short sleeve?
I'll take 40% cleavage.
i loves that picture
this survey totally applies for me
People that you meet in nightclubs are only good for one night stands.
Conclusion:
Dr Colin Hendrie invents an excuse to talk to several girls in nightclubs in various states of undress, ends up stating the obvious, and gets away with it.
The man is a genius isn't he?
An attractive woman is attractive regardless of how much or how little skin she shows. In public I think that more skin is not always more but in private 100% has always rocked my boat. This kind of thing is always changing. In the past a man would need a cold shower if he saw just a womans exposed ankle. These researchers should be looking for something useful like 3d girls who are as good as 2d girls or a solution for global warming instead of this.
Guess this rules out Eskimos.....
When was the last time you saw a guy hitting on an Eskimo in a bar? LOL
My first wife was an Eskimo. She was one cold bitch.
Waki miko Reimu~ She's very sexy~
Waki miko Reimu~ I do not know why~
Waki miko Reimu~ The skin she shows is~
Waki miko Raimu~ Not forty percent~
In fact I'm a man I like legs and breast exposure, not full exposure of course
Too bad as a weaboo you get no breast and legs. but you mean of the girls you see at school right?
Hehe "Tsukiyo wo Kakusanai Teido no Nouryoku" ^^
Did I just hear 40%???
How much would Zettai Ryouiki contribute?
Will depend on the grade of the Zettai Ryouiki =)
THIS IS MADNESS!
THIS IS SPARTA
THIS IS PATRICK!
LOL!XD
> No, this is Patrick.* (Fail, get it right.)
Yeh, couldn't correct it anymore :>
No, this is Patrick.* (Fail, get it right.)
Patrick <3
yes i think 40% skin exposed girls are more atractive than naked ones...
Yeah. We don't call the naked one as "attractive". We call them "naked".
qft
same, but i am all for kimono as well, 10% exposure or something like that.
Have you ever seen a girl wearing a kimono in a night club?
I've seen them worn at a high-school and... damn... where was I.
+1 some long summer dress are more attractive then tight miniskirt.
I agree with this, I some time find a girl _less_ attractive once she take off here cloth. Cloth and hair style add so much to a girl that without them... you'll lose interest.
any way "In practical terms, this seems a long winded way of saying girls wearing short, sleeveless dresses do best in the typical nightclub meat market."
I guess... I agree with the "meat market" bit, I believe that we have reached a point where meat compete against other meat in order to attract the other type of meat.
I completely agree with you. Good job. Girls with clothes on are so much sexier, personal opinion, or my interest, scene girls today, they do a lot with there style, hair, and uniqueness, I find it very attractive, until she loses the clothes, then it kind of goes downhill.. But, eh, that isn't the point, clothes are so much more sexier then pure nakedness.
I agree.You need to leave something to imagination.
Disagree.
I like to see women in:
A) ultra-short skirts and low-cut tops (even if her boobs are small/tiny); or
B) Smooth, close-fitting dresses which show off their true form (even if their boobs are small/tiny) - "China Dresses", long or short, are great for this.
Cameltoe's okay, but not necessarily a plus.

Not too much yet not too little...
That is the way of life; balance...
I can't find a nude walking up to me/anyone attractive... She might have escaped from an institute.
