“Glamour” reports that researchers from the University of Louisville found that woman quickly positively judged men between 5′ 10″ and 6′ 2″ as desirable.

Really?
According to “Quick and Simple”, when asked what kind of personal assistant you would want, it broke down like this:
54% I want a maid!
23% A personal chef would make my life a breeze.

8% A personal chauffeur is the way to go.
