Question Sexy Astronomers?

"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!)

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...

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.

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

I'm not petty!

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

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.

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. By the way, freezer suits do not count as a uniform.

i would not agree with that Suzy

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