Ah, the bikini car wash. It brings in men in record numbers who for this one type of event, do not care if their car actually gets clean. Normally, we won’t let you touch, clean or sit on our cars, but for some reason toss on a bikini, cover yourself in soap and water and the next thing we know, you're sitting on our hood with high heels or rubbing up against our cars.

The Allure of a Female Hitchhiker’s Breast Size (To Male Drivers).

Posted in Automotive by: TimothyT on: 08/15/2010 09:04 PM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]

While conducting some research for my forthcoming trade book tentatively titled The Consuming Instinct: What Juicy Burgers, Ferraris, Pornography, (boobies) and Gift Giving Reveal About Human Nature (Prometheus Books, 2011), I came across a study authored by Nicolas Guéguen on the likelihood of a female hitchhiker being picked up, by either a male or female driver, as a function of her breast size. On a related note, some of you might recall my recent post on the positive correlation between waitresses' tips and their breast size.

In visiting Nicolas Guéguen's website, I could not help but notice that he possesses a talent for conducting naturalistic experiments about issues (my God, look at that photo) that many people have wondered about and yet few (if any) have tested. Recall my earlier post on the likelihood of a woman being approached at a bar as a function of whether she is wearing cosmetics (one of Guéguen's other papers).

I'm sorry, what the hell is he talking about? I was staring at the photo.
