Is it true that women prefer men in uniform?

There's also some general research on whether different outfits change the way women react to potential mates. In 1990, for instance, researchers at the University of Toledo asked a panel of 30 female anthropology majors to choose one "attractive" and one "unattractive" man from a line-up of volunteers wearing plain white T-shirts. Based on these ratings, they picked two models—one rated as attractive, the other as unattractive—and showed 112 female college students slides of each man in three separate costumes: as "doctors," they donned fancy shirts, designer paisley ties, blazers, and Rolex watches; as "teachers," they wore white tees; and as "Burger King workers," they sported blue baseball caps and polo shirts printed with the company logo. Women consistently described the "doctors" as more alluring than the "fast food employees," even when the man in the B.K. group had previously received a higher attractiveness rating than the M.D. (A good-looking teacher still out-performed a bad-looking M.D.) The researchers concluded that clothing suggesting low socioeconomic status is a turn-off.

It's not obvious what sort of socioeconomic status a military uniform connotes—are unpleated khaki trousers perceived more like a doctor's paisley tie or a fast-food employee's baseball cap? One psychologist suggested in an interview that Marine or Navy uniforms (especially when decorated with gold and silver insignia ) indicate high status and offer women social validation. Like Brooks Bros. suits or tuxedos, she contended, uniforms imply a man in a position of authority; furthermore, they symbolize "alpha" qualities such as confidence and courage. Yet the richest and most powerful Americans don't generally gravitate toward the armed forces, George H.W. Bush, John McCain's sons, and John Kerry aside.

Despite the relative paucity of experimental data, many sexologists are convinced from clinical experience that the stereotype about women and uniforms is true. They speculate that the cliché holds for a variety of reasons: Some, pointing to the latent (and at times overt) aggression in military work, propose that women find the menace of uniformed men exciting. Others ascribe the mystique of sailors on leave to the opportunity for casual sex. Still others argue that evolution has wired women to seek competent, dependable types for the long road of childrearing; these clinicians claim that uniforms advertise a history of service and reliability. Of course, it's questionable how reliable a mate could be if his job requires him to ship off into conflict zones at a moment's notice.
