"Men who have blue eyes are far more attracted to blue-eyed
women than they are to women with brown or green eyes,
Reuters reports of new research at the University of Tromso in
Norway.
Why? It's the law of genetics. Eye color can help determine if
their partner has been faithful. When both parents have blue
eyes, their children will also have blue eyes--always. If the baby
has brown eyes, she's a cheater.
"Before you request a paternity test, spend a few minutes looking
at your child's eye color," lead study author Bruno Laeng wrote in
the journal Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology. "Blue-eyed men
may have unconsciously learned to value a physical trait that can
facilitate recognition of own kin."
In this study, the Norwegian team asked 88 students to rate the
attractiveness of models based on photographs, which were
manipulated so that half of them had blue eyes and the other half
had brown eyes, reports Reuters.
What happened? The blue-eyed male volunteers showed a distinct
preference for blue-eyed women. Interestingly, the men with brown
eyes, who can't tell paternity based on their children's eye color, had
no preferences for women's eye color. No matter their own eye color,
women showed no preference.
In addition, a second study of 443 young adults came to the same
conclusion: Men with blue eyes preferred partners with blue eyes."
