Lady in Red

Every woman has an outfit or color that seems to be theirs. A color that suits her and compliments her features would be a color a woman can rightfully claim is their color.It seems however, that men have found her color as well. That color that men find most appealing on a woman seems to be the color red.

A psychological experiment testing the way men reacted to the same women wearing different colors all showed the most favorable color to be red. Women wearing red were rated as “significantly more attractive and sexually desirable” by men than when they were wearing other colors.

The experiment showed that women wearing red were "rated as more attractive and sexually desirable." It also said that if a woman is wearing red, they are more likely to get asked on a date or on a second date!

An interesting aspect of the study gave historical precedence to why men are attracted to women in red, and dated it back to our chimpanzee and baboon primates. Apparently, before our existence, a male baboon would be more attracted to a female baboon during the females time of ovulation, or "red time."

So, if that is indeed fact to why men were originally attracted to women wearing red, does that mean men are very similar to baboons? I'm sure many women would love this conclusion to be true!

But red is also known as a bold color and a color of passion. Men could just be more attracted to a bolder woman, or they could just like the color. Whatever the reason behind the idea, it looks like ladies on the prowl would have more luck finding a date if they dress in red.
