Gary sees an attractive woman wearing red. How might he describe the woman wearing a red shirt differently if she were wearing a blue shirt? Why?

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: In studies, men who saw women wearing red (as opposed to blue) shirts rated them as more attractive, were more likely to ask her out, and were more likely to want to have sex with her. Researchers think that red is more explicitly linked to sexuality across time and culture.
