Talk about a quickie

I feel so vindicated by this.

A new study, from Scotland of all places, has found that women, are quicker to judge than men are. The study covered 500 speed dates, and of those,

"About a third of the speed dates were actually over within the first 30 seconds, but there was a marked difference between the sexes with 45 per cent of women coming to a decision within 30 seconds, compared with only 22 per cent of men.

Professor Richard Wiseman, of Hertfordshire University, said: "Men are often accused of being shallow and judging women very quickly.

"However, this evidence suggests that women may make up their minds much quicker than men. It suggests men have only a few seconds to impress a woman, thus emphasising the importance of their opening comments."

The study also found that women were twice as picky as the men."

ha HA! TWICE AS PICKY! Never again shall the fairer sex have the right to call us Y-chromosomed breadwinners shallow and judgmental! Ye narrow minded sexist pigs!

Maybe this is tied to American Idol's popularity... Hmmmm...

Actually, I think there's probably an interesting historical/evolutionary argument to be made here within the context of social structure and men's physical impetus to breed contrasted with women's physical impetus to choose mates carefully. Could be a thesis there, you think?
