Researchers Discover Irresistible Dance Moves

sciencehabit writes "To find out if certain dance moves are more attractive to women than others, researchers recruited a bunch of college guys and used motion-capture to create avatars of them dancing. When women watched the avatars (2 videos included in story), the men they found most attractive were those who kept their heads and torsos moving without flailing their arms and legs. The researchers say dancing is thus an honest signal to women of the man's strength and health, just as it is in crabs and hummingbirds, who also move in special ways to attract mates."

What are you talking about? Everyone's known for years that guys who dance like they're a frog in a blender don't make the cut.

This is NOT news. Except maybe to nerds, who often look like a frog in a blender whenever they get near a woman.
