Researchers used cameras hidden in handbags to record women's clothing and how many men were attracted to them and invited them to dance. In their study, they specified that the surface area of each arm accounts for 10% of the body surface area, each leg accounts for 15%, and the rest accounts for 50%. Women who exposed 40% of their skin attracted twice as many men as those who wrapped themselves tightly. Women whose skin is exposed to more than 40% of the sun also have no greater attractiveness. Experts believe that overexposure may scare away men because they believe such women may be indecent.
Psychologist Colin Hendry, who led the study, said, "Baring more than 40% of the skin will no longer send a signal of 'charm', but of being easily approached and future infidelity. Exposing a portion of the arms and legs is enough, while other parts do not need to be exposed." The study was published in the journal Behavioral Science. The study found that the most popular women are those who combine a 40% nudity rate with tight clothing and provocative dance moves.
However, some celebrity costumes do not follow the 40% rule, including the very famous safety pin outfit designed by Jenny Versace for British movie star Elizabeth Holly.
