Want to Bag a Girl On Facebook? Better Have a Guitar in Your Profile Pic

You could have six pack abs, a ten inch schlong, or $100 bills with you in your profile picture on Facebook and maybe get a few views, but if you really think you are going to score a chick from Facebook get a guitar in your profile picture! 

Past research has shown that serenading a woman can lure her into your bed. But why go through all that trouble? A team of Israeli researchers tested whether the mere appearance of musical ability could boost a guy’s sexiness.

They sent friendship requests to 100 attractive, single women. The requests featured a profile pic of a good looking guy, and included the suggestive message, “Hey, what’s up? I like your photo.” In half the requests, the guy was holding a guitar. In the other half, he wasn’t. Everything else about the two profile photos was identical.

How’d the ladies respond? Only 5 of 50 women accepted a friendship request from the guitar-less guy, while the dude with the axe scored 14 attractive new “friends,” according to the study.

Like a male peacock’s tail feathers, playing an instrument won’t do much for you in terms of survival. But, like those tail feathers, your musicality is something women find alluring at a basic.

Maybe I will just start using Intern Romero as my picture for awhile!
