jdobbin Posted August 13, 2008 Report Posted August 13, 2008 (edited) http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/stor...?hub=TopStories Anyone looking for a mate in a bar, take note: Beer goggles really do make people appear more attractive, British researchers say.Scientists at the University of Bristol found that study subjects who consumed alcohol considered people to be about 10 per cent more attractive than did people who did not consume alcohol. The researchers asked 84 subjects to drink a lime-favoured beverage that either contained alcohol or did not. The amount of alcohol equalled a large glass of wine or one-and-a-half pints of beer. I guess it proves the conventional wisdom. Edited August 13, 2008 by jdobbin Quote
guyser Posted August 13, 2008 Report Posted August 13, 2008 I hope they didnt get funding for that study because I would be pissed . They could have given me some of that money and I would show them that this is true. Pics and all. I did go to University so I kind of know. And men are as bad as women in the beer goggle dept. Of course the women dont brag about it like the men. Quote

gc1765 Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 I had wondered whether it was that other people looked more attractive after drinking, or whether people just don't care that the other person is ugly. I guess it's a bit of both. Quote Almost three thousand people died needlessly and tragically at the World Trade Center on September 11; ten thousand Africans die needlessly and tragically every single day-and have died every single day since September 11-of AIDS, TB, and malaria. We need to keep September 11 in perspective, especially because the ten thousand daily deaths are preventable. - Jeffrey Sachs (from his book "The End of Poverty")

Army Guy Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 Now what would be impressive is if they could make a pair of them goggles that would make them look good in the morning or atleast until you've made your escape.....Hey K-tel would make a killing, for 29.99 you to could own your beer goggles...

guyser Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 Now what would be impressive is if they could make a pair of them goggles that would make them look good in the morning or atleast until you've made your escape Rule #1 -Dont turn on the lights Rule #2 - Dont wait til morning light to leave. Goes for women and men. I aint sexist. Quote
Guest American Woman Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 What's funny about this thread is that the "beer goggles" seem to work for the person wearing them, too. I've noticed that people who are a bit on the tipsy side seem to have an exaggerated sense of their own good looks, too. So to add to the advice to 'not turn on the lights,' I'd say 'don't look in the mirror, either.' Chances are both the girl and they guy are thinking the other isn't quite as hot as they were last night. Quote

Of course the more anyone drinks the better they are in the sack since they cant remember anyway. And if you cant remember, then you were really good. Quote
acidburn Posted January 13, 2009 Report Posted January 13, 2009 haha totaly true and no study needed i think years of drunk university students at bars says it all. Quote

Oleg Bach Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 You'd think that with an IQ of 140 my penis would be better at convincing women to go home with me.... Making love in a drunken stupor is not the best way to start a relationship. Things being so up tight these days and men and woman being so fearful and restricted emotionally ---- well better than not....Gin googles work also...what works the very best is to be up beat and happy - no one wants a frumpy sad sack...especially if you have just been dumbed by your use to be --- men carry this darkish gloom that is not very attractive - so keep the spirits up and a little spirit...can loosen up and release those good intentions - everybody wants love and to give love...for some reason we seem to be ashamed of what they need and want - pour me another and cuddle up ---------no not you -------HER~ Quote
BigAl Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 --- men carry this darkish gloom that is not very attractive - I'll have you know that "darkish gloom" has put my hands on more bumper than a mechanic. Women call it "strong and silent" or "deep and mysterious" and it is awesome. Quote
Wilber Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) You'd think that with an IQ of 140 my penis would be better at convincing women to go home with me.... An interesting contradiction. I've noticed it to. Edited February 6, 2009 by Wilber Quote "Never trust a man who has not a single redeeming vice". WSC
