Men are more willing to help females in tall shoes
|
Ladies, if you want a man at your feet, wear high heels. Research shows that men are more likely to help a woman wearing heels than one in flats. This assistance ranges from taking part in a survey, to chasing after a woman who has dropped a glove. French researcher Nicholas Guéguen said: ‘Women’s shoe heel size exerts a powerful influence on men’s behaviour.’ Professor Guéguen first showed that men were much more likely to agree to fill in a questionnaire when stopped in the street by a woman in heels. And the higher the heels, the more willing they were. When the women doing the survey were in flats, just 25 of the 60 men took part. A two-inch heel made them more amenable, with 36 out of the 60 that were approached agreeing to answer the woman’s questions. But when the heels rose to almost four inches, the number of male volunteers rose to 49 out of 60, or as Professor Guéguen put it: ‘Men responded more favourably to the survey request as soon as the length of her heels increased.’ Tellingly, heel height had no effect on women’s odds of agreeing to do the survey. In another experiment, men were almost twice as likely to return a glove to a woman if she was in high heels. Some 56 out of 60 men stopped or chased down a female who dropped a glove while walking ahead of them in four-inch heels. The professor, from the University of South Brittany, said that men may see offering help as a non-threatening way of making contact with an attractive female. His final experiment involved watching how long it took men standing drinking in a bar to approach a woman sitting alone at a nearby table. A woman in high heels was chatted up almost twice as quickly as one in sensible shoes, the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior reports. Professor Guéguen isn’t sure why heels make a woman more attractive but he says that it may be by that changes in gait and posture make her seem more feminine. However, a previous British study found that a man can’t tell from a woman’s walk whether she is wearing heels. In any case, the women in the bar were sitting down. Another possibility is that that the use of high heels in sexy films and adverts has led to men near-automatically associating them with desirability. |
女士們，如果你想有個男人隨時為你效勞，那就穿高跟鞋吧。 研究發現，比起穿平底鞋的女性，男性更愿意對穿高跟鞋的女性伸出援手。 這些幫助形式不一，有參與調查，也有追上丟手套的女性將手套還給她等等。 法國研究員尼古拉斯·蓋根（Nicholas Guéguen）說，“女性的鞋跟高度對男性的行為有巨大影響。“ 蓋根教授首先指出，男性在路上被穿高跟鞋的女性攔下后，他們更可能同意填調查表；并且鞋跟越高，可能性越大。 當女性穿平底鞋做這項調查時，60名男性中只有25名參與其中。 兩英寸高的鞋跟使得男性更加積極，60名男性中有36名同意回答女性的問題。 但是當鞋跟增加到四英寸時，男性志愿參與人數增加到49名。或許，如蓋根教授所說，“男性同意接受問卷調查的速度隨鞋跟的增高而加快。” 引人關注的是，鞋子高度對女性同意接受調查的幾率毫無作用。 在另一項實驗中，如果女性穿高跟鞋，男性幫她拾回手套的可能性是不穿高跟鞋的兩倍。 當走在前面的女性穿四英寸的高跟鞋時，60名男性中大約有56名都會攔住或者去追上丟手套的女性。 這位來自南布列塔尼大學（the University of South Brittany）的教授說，男性把幫助女性視為一種與魅力女性接觸的不錯的方法。 他最后的一項實驗是觀察站在酒吧里喝酒的男性要用多長時間去和一位臨桌的獨身女性搭訕。 這份發表在美國期刊《性行為檔案》（Archives of Sexual Behavior）上的研究報告顯示，穿高跟鞋的女性被搭訕的速度幾乎是穿普通鞋女性的兩倍。 雖然蓋根教授無法確定為什么高跟鞋使女性更富有魅力，但他說可能是步伐和姿態的改變使她們更有女人味。 然而，之前的一項英國研究發現，男性不能從走路姿勢判別一名女性是否穿了高跟鞋。 不管怎樣，酒吧里的女性都是坐著的。 另一種可能性是高跟鞋在含有性內容的電影和廣告中的使用讓男性幾乎不自覺地將它們與欲望聯系在一起。 （譯者 xysweetxy 編輯 丹妮） 掃一掃，關注微博微信
