I'm seen often enough with beautiful young women. These women do look at me when we're together. This, indeed, causes other women to look. But depending on the ages of those other "looking" women, the looks they give either denote confusion or bewilderment (if they're young) or resentment or disgust if they're older. So far, for the fifty-something jimmyd, having gorgeous blonde jewelry on his arm hasn't done much for his love life. So much for pychological/sociological studies.

Thankfully, I can be somewhat witty at times. That seems to help more than pretty young chicks.

Huh! This is not only very interesting in its own...

Huh! This is not only very interesting in its own right (I seem to recall seeing an article about the study myself), but it offers an alternate explanation about models who agree to work with me. For a new model prospect, I always refer them to a page that contains both a number of my better photos and positive comments received from models after their sessions. So by this analysis, I become more appealing as a photographer, and a new model will want to work with me, both because I have photographed other appealing models and because those models have stated their appreciation for me and attraction to what we did together. It's a nice example of positive feedback.
