Sexy Astronomers?

[AstralTraveller]

"Women in the United States, England, Germany and China said they found men pictured wearing red, or framed in red, more sexually attractive than in other colours, the research published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology showed."

So what about blokes with red-light torches?? Can you really look sexy in a freezer suite? What do the ladies think? (Here's your chance to make a friend for life!) :thumbsup:

What will they think of next!!!:rolleyes::screwy::rofl:

[sjastro]

Does this mean redhead men have more fun?

Steven

[renormalised]

Only if it's dyed bright red:):P

[mental4astro]

Mmm, where can I find one of those red/orange old Celestron tubes! That, and with the bucket load of Lynx spray, I'll be beating off the ladies all night. Hard enough explaning to my missus why I go off with a few blokes to the middle of no-where in the dark all night. |It'll be worth it though!

Now, where's my red whip...

[renormalised]

I know where's there's an, at least, 14" Celestron in just the colour you need:):P

[renormalised]

But I've got dibs on it first:P

[jjjnettie]

aye, it's the red head light torch alright, and the way his face glows as if on fire, when peering at the lappy screen through a layer of red gel.
oh be still my beating heart. :love:

[mental4astro]

The article says "framed in red". You could crawl into the C14, Carl. :whistle::evil:

I'm not petty! :rolleyes:

[Robh]

Sounds like a lot of bull to me. Apologies to the matador.

Regards, Rob.

[Screwdriverone]

REAL sexy Astronomers have a red head torch AND at least a 12"..............Dobsonian....;)

Cheers

Note to diary. Must get one of these before next Starcamp :D

[AstralTraveller]

Well, I've just arrived home and I'm now wondering about the appeal of men holding a glass of red.

And I'm thinking I should have got the Moonlite focusser in red rather than gold.

[Suzy]

Amongst all that red light and freezer suit, drench yourself with farimones and they we'll talk. I can sniff this stuff out far and yonder, and I will come a-looking. ;)

They have it wrong - it's not the colour guys are wearing - it's a uniform (errr, no farimones required there btw). Men are always irresistible in a uniform. :D By the way, freezer suits do not count as a uniform.

[renormalised]

Should go back into the Army:):P

That's what I'm doing wrong:):P

[DavidU]

Well........ I think I could give some one a real scare ! even with my nice red tracksuit on. LOL

[shelltree]

Hahaha, oh swooooon! :rofl:

[erick]

:D I knew it was the right choice!

[GTB_an_Owl]

i would not agree with that Suzy

every astronomer should have a freezer suit ;) :D :D :D :D
and it should be known as the astronomer's uniform


geoff

[astroron]

Geoff, do you sell Red Freezer Suits:question::lol::lol::lol:

[DavidU]

:lol::lol:

[Suzy]

:lol::lol: With polished brass buttons? :lol::rofl:

[[1ponders]]

Where some of these people go Suzy it'd freeze the brass buttons off their suit. ;)
:lol:

[GTB_an_Owl]

maybe i could stock RED UNDIES to wear under the freezer suits :P

geoff

[AstralTraveller]

Images of ABBOTT on the observing field in speedos. NO NO NO NO NO NO

[[1ponders]]

I'm not sure if this is a breach of TOS, but at least please keep the thread clean:reindeer:






:cool:

[AstralTraveller]

Ok no political comment was intended. It's just that there are plenty of cartoons of Abbott in the red speedos (and Julia with the red hair and pointy nose) about so it came to mind. Maybe I could get some agreement that we want neither on out observing field?? :shrug:

[[1ponders]]

:poke:

[wasyoungonce]

Shamelessly stolen pic from CN .....a sexy astronomer...for the ladies..wearing red as well.

I shouldn't laugh..he scrubs up better than me!

[AstralTraveller]

Is he very small or is that a large instrument. I mean refractors of that size are quite rare.

[wasyoungonce]

I .....was going to answer that....but...upon consideration...I might let that one pass;)

[Jen]

:screwy::screwy:Ummmmmm i dont think i should comment on this one either (might get into trouble) :rolleyes: :evil2:
Ok cant help myself :rofl:
If ya standing next to a nice big DOB any freezer suit will do just fine :evil:
They compliment each other just nicely ;)

Yep red is sexy :P

[M54]

Anyone here think Santa is sexy???:lol:

[astro_nutt]

Geez!, I'll just wear a santa suit and be done with it!!LOL
Cheers!

[Nightskystargaz]

[TrevorW]

[erick]

[Outbackmanyep]

Beauty is in the eye of the beer-holder!

[wasyoungonce]

Impostor...;)

[DavidTrap]

I've just come home from a skiing holiday - I've got sore muscle groups that I didn't even know existed. The instructor was talking about how to pick the cute girls whilst still in their ski-gear. Should have paid more attention!

DT

[Screwdriverone]

Naaah, I prefer picking the cute girls when they are OUT of their Ski gear......;)

Easier that way.

Cheers

Chris

[Ric]

My uniform is RFS yellow with designer ash stains ;) and an inbuilt whiff of burnt gum leaves. :D

Cheers

[Suzy]

:lol::lol: That'd work. Rugged, blokey, yeah!:thumbsup: Then again, I'm also weak to guys in mechanic overalls covered in grease, so not very different.

THERE IS NOTHING ATTRACTIVE ABOUT RED ON A GUY - DON'T KID YOURSELVES.

I just don't see how guys wearing red is attractive to women. Red is a colour women have used to lure men for centuries (i.e. red lipstick, red high heels etc). Red is and always will be the signature sexy colour that women use to attract men (whether they realise it or not - men will always take notice. I just can't see how this applies to men.
Unless this test was done on women that are drawn to “new age sensitive guys”.

As a female (and I know most females would agree), find black the attraction colour. Black signifies strong, mysterious, rebellious etc - qualities which are attractive to women. A man in a black suit is a great example. Go ask your other halves which is more attractive on a guy- red or black. Betcha it’ll be black.

Go on.. go ask.. and get back to this thread, be interesting to see the feedback.

[Octane]

Suzy,

What about black suit and red tie? :lol:

[Suzy]

:lol::lol::lol:

[renormalised]

Well, here's the definitive answer to the topic of the thread....

:):)

[taminga16]

Patrick Moore and Fred Hoyle in red shirts? and I would think that there would be dozens of images of Brian May both shirtless and in red scattered across the www, but would they be sexy?

Greg.

[renormalised]

The first two...nah, but the third may depend on if the girls liked Queen:)

[taminga16]

If the girls come back with votes for a sexy Brian May I am going to purchase a new red shirt and change my avatar!

[AstralTraveller]

Well that's a triumph of form over function.

[Suzy]

That's a "no" from me on both counts - May & anything red on a guy. :).

[taminga16]

Thanks Suzy,
I can move on with confidence, although I do have a red 'T' shirt and a red thermal skin that I wear when I ride my motorcycle.
Greg.
