Men more attractive if they have scars
Nov 20th
LIVERPOOL, England (UPI) — Men with scars on their face are more attractive to women seeking short-term relationships, researchers in Britain said.
Dr. Rob Burriss, from the University of Liverpool’s School of Biological Sciences, says that it was previously assumed that in Western cultures scarring was an unattractive facial feature but in non-Western cultures they were perceived as a sign of maturity and strength.
The researchers found that women preferred men with facial scars for short-term relationships but they equally preferred scarred and unscarred faces for long-term relationships. Men regard women with and without facial scars as equally attractive for both types of relationship.
“Male and female participants were shown images of faces that displayed scarring from injury or illness, and were asked to rate how attractive they found the person for long-term and short-term relationships,” Burriss said in a statement.
“Women may have rated scarring as an attractive quality for short-term relationships because they found it be a symbol of masculinity, a feature that is linked to high testosterone levels and an indicator of good genetic qualities that can be passed on to offspring. Men without scars, however, could be seen as more caring and therefore more suitable for long-term relationships.”
The findings are published in the journal of Personality and Individual Differences.

Three time winner of the Best Male Performer award Erik Everhard will attempt to reclaim the top spot from 2007 winner. Manuel Ferrara. “After losing out last year I look forward to becoming the comeback kid in 09. I can’t let all the young kids have all the fun!” Says Everhard. “The only legitimate online fan voting awards are and have always been the Rogreviews.com awards and I look forward to challenging once again for Best Male Performer. Feature performers dominate other awards and it’s up to me to bring the gonzo performer back as the gold standard of what a real performance means.”
Since 1997, the RogReviews.com Fan Faves have recognized the best in the adult industry. Now widely recognized, the idea started out simply. “I saw a lot of the big awards shows recognizing contract girls and big feature directors.” Says RogReviews.com owner Roger Pipe. “I knew that porn fans had a different view of what makes someone the best performer or director. It started out as just a simple fan poll, but word got out and people got really excited about it as it grew. We have had some close races, some controversy and a lot of fun over the past decade.”
