Study finds strong and silent men 'more attractive'

Verbose men are less attractive according to a new linguistics study.

As women typically use longer words researchers believe men who use shorter words may be seen as more attractive as they appear more masculine.

The only exception identified was foreign languages which were preferred overall because they sounded exotic.

Due to the small size of the study, of 60 Canadian students, researchers said more investigation was needed. The survey results were published in PLOS ONE.
