The look of lust

Muscle & Fitness, July, 2009 by Jim Stoppani, Mark Thorpe

You don't need a drool cup and bib to be obvious about your intentions toward women you find attractive. Despite your best Doyle Brunson game face, the ladies probably know what you're thinking. UK researchers had volunteers look at the faces of 170 men and women who had indicated if they had experience with or interest in casual sex. Seventy-two percent of the volunteer subjects were able to tell what a person was thinking more than half the time. Although the researchers didn't find conclusive evidence about how to tell when someone is looking for sex, this study suggests that it's all but written on your mug.
