 Speed dating: A man has just three minutes to impress a woman before she makes up her mind about him based on looks and manners. |

They say you should never judge a book by its cover. But when it comes to the opposite sex, it seems that's exactly what women do. It takes a woman just three minutes to make up her mind about whether she likes a man or not, a study has revealed. The average female spends the time sizing up looks, physique and dress-sense as well as taking in scent, accent and eloquence of a potential suitor. Women also quickly judge how he interacts with her friends and whether he is successful or ambitious. It also emerged most women believe 180 seconds is long enough to gauge whether or not he is Mr Right, or Mr Wrong. The study also found women rarely change their mind about a man after their initial reaction - and believe they are 'always right' in their assumptions and judgments. The report which was commissioned among 3,000 adults to mark the release of Instinct, a new book by Ben Kay. Kay said: 'I think a lot of people believe in trusting their instincts when dating. It makes it seem more magical, like it's coming from somewhere deeper. 'But it's surprising how quickly women make a decision. That's barely enough time to finish a drink together. 'It's interesting that so many women trust their instincts and yet still give men the opportunity to change their minds. 'Some men might think this is leading them on but I would imagine most women just want to give every bloke a fair shot.' Researchers found women will quickly dismiss a man who they feel is 'too cocky' or 'too needy'. He will also be rejected if he isn't nice to people, doesn't appear to earn enough and if he has nothing in common with the woman. (Read by Nelly Min.

人們說(shuō)以貌取人是不對(duì)的。 但是女人在評(píng)判異性的時(shí)候似乎偏偏就是這么做的。 一項(xiàng)調(diào)查顯示，女人只需要三分鐘就可斷定是否喜歡一個(gè)男人。 一般來(lái)說(shuō)，女性會(huì)用這三分鐘觀察一個(gè)潛在追求者的長(zhǎng)相、體格和穿衣品味，以及感知對(duì)方的體味、口音和口才。 女人能很快判斷他和她的朋友們是不是合得來(lái)，他是否成功，以及他是否有雄心壯志。 調(diào)查還揭示，大多數(shù)女人們都認(rèn)為，180秒的時(shí)間足以判斷對(duì)方是否真命天子。 此外，研究發(fā)現(xiàn)女人很少會(huì)改變她們對(duì)男人的第一印象，她們認(rèn)為自己的推想和判斷“總是正確的”。 這次涵蓋了3000名成年人的調(diào)查是為了配合本?凱的新書(shū)《直覺(jué)》的出版而進(jìn)行的。 凱說(shuō)：“我想很多人在約會(huì)的時(shí)候都會(huì)相信他們的直覺(jué)。這使得心動(dòng)的感覺(jué)更奇妙，好像這種感覺(jué)來(lái)自?xún)?nèi)心深處某個(gè)地方。 “但是令人驚訝的是，女人居然能在那么短的時(shí)間內(nèi)做出決定，三分鐘只勉強(qiáng)夠兩個(gè)人喝完一杯酒。” “有趣的是，盡管很多女人相信直覺(jué)，但她們還是會(huì)給男人們扭轉(zhuǎn)乾坤的機(jī)會(huì)。 “一些男人可能會(huì)認(rèn)為這是在給他們錯(cuò)誤的暗示，但是我認(rèn)為大多數(shù)女人只是想給每個(gè)男人一個(gè)公平的機(jī)會(huì)。” 研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，女人們會(huì)很快拒絕她們覺(jué)得“太自大”或者“太窮”的男人。 此外，對(duì)人不夠友善、看起來(lái)賺得不多、沒(méi)有共同語(yǔ)言也是男人被拒絕的原因。 相關(guān)閱讀 網(wǎng)上調(diào)情：關(guān)鍵是要贊美嘴唇 情人節(jié)約會(huì)：女人偏愛(ài)共進(jìn)晚餐 然后跳舞 （中國(guó)日?qǐng)?bào)網(wǎng)英語(yǔ)點(diǎn)津 崔旭燕 編輯：陳丹妮） |
