9月29日（土）のレッスン

管理人様
前回許可を頂いたので、今回は、9月29日ROB先生のADVANCEレベルのマテリアルを掲載します（不評・不要だったら即やめます）。男性は・・・、一方女性は・・・、となかなか議論の分かれる内容であり、やはりディスカッションも白熱しました。
次回は、一応10月6日のLINDSAY先生の分を掲載予定です。
なお、ブログには、会員さんのFESSでの体験記も乗せて欲しいとの要望も有りますので、是非とも会員の皆様にはご協力をお願いします。

Looks are everything: study
While humans may consider themselves highly sophisticated beings，a new study says that when it comes to choosing a mate，we resort to the most basic of　selection processes:looks.
Despite claims by individuals to the contrary，physical beauty is the key trait men　look　for,　according to research by Indiana university cognitive scientist Peter　Todd.　Women, on the other hand， are choosier but tend to pick men who can offer　material wealth and security that is on par
with how the women perceive their own attractiveness.
The study used a speed-dating session to compare what people said they wanted in a mate with whom they actually chose. Speed dating　is where men and women　have a number of¨mini-dates¨that last only a few minutes　a，giving them only a short time to decide whether they would like to go on a proper date with that person.
Most said they wanted a mate like themselves，yet when the sessions began, the men sought the more attractive women. The women meanwhile，were drawn to　material　wealth and security， and set their standards according to how they　viewed their own attractiveness.
Reader’s　Comment
lf　people　use　looks　to　decide　on　a　person, it’s shallow. Beauty is an illusion， some　of　the　shallowest　people　I know　are　good　looking.　When we　are blinded by looks we miss the beauty within that is what the people who are not good looking have.
Because they are not good looking，they have learned all the other qualities that　people want ，such as nonjudgmental，kindness，empathy etc.　When you are　only looking at the outside of the package，you miss what the contents of the　package contains、the true beauty within.

2.What do you think about the usefulness of this study as a scientific
investigation？
3.Do you agree with the Reader’s Comment?　Do you think the writer of the
　comment　is　a　man or a woman and why?
