Matt Is Sexier Than Paul?

LONDON (Reuters) - As Shakespeare said, a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Right?
Wrong.
Scientists say the right name can make you sexier.
Linguist Amy Perfors, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (news - web sites), posted photos of men and women on the U.S. Web site "Hot or Not," which lets viewers rate pictures according to how attractive they find them.
When she posted the same pictures with different names, she found that the attractiveness scores went up and down depending on the vowels, the London-based magazine New Scientist reported.
Men with "front vowels" in their names -- sounds formed at the front of the mouth like the "a" in Matt -- were considered sexier than men with "back vowel" sounds like the "au" in Paul, she concluded.
The opposite held for women, who were sexier with back vowels than front ones.
Perfors said front vowels are often perceived as "smaller" than back vowels, so the difference could be a sign that women are seeking men that are sensitive or gentle, traits usually perceived as feminine.
But men who might be thinking of taking more feminine names to become sexier should be careful not to go too far: men with women's names were rated least sexy of all.

I sent a pm to Fred asking for my name to be changed to Dakota31, he sent me a pm back saying it was done, but I still can't log on under that name using the same email address as dakota30. Maybe you could just register a new profile with a different email address, and under your title say "used to be The Newguy" How about that...Pookey?

let see, If I pick a name from a guy, I guess I own him a beer and if I pick a name from a lady then they can spend some time with me. Which one should I choose?

I don't know if I'd jump all over 'Pookey' as a handle, but that's just me. It's a great lover's nickname, but...
Think of a great pooning experience you've had during your trial period and put it into a description of you. (and NO... "oooh you've got such a big hard c*@k" is not a valid handle either)
And remember to peel the big N sticker off the back of your car.
Nope, not lovers. I just think he's a sweetie...so okay, I guess it is a term of endearment. And some guys wouldn't be comfortable with that. In particular the metrosexual ones
baha!
"(and NO... "oooh you've got such a big hard c*@k" is not a valid handle either)"
That's funny.
