@apeofpentacles unfortunately this kind of mushy, culture-bound methodology's all we've got for subjective metrics like attractiveness. Hence the term "soft science." It was a 2013 study; maybe it went nowhere, but ideally it'd be replicated, or a starting pt for harder research -
I for one am annoyed at all the innuendo about doctors just wanting a chance to scope out their hottest patients naked. Have no idea how much of an issue it is, but the research add nothing; kind of seems to be baked into the idea of being a gynecologist in the first place, no?
