Where's your head at?

Isn't that a part of a song?I remember it at the end of  the Tomb Raider movie.Well,the title has a bit of relevance to what im goin to write.
Its about a study that has been conducted on 127 male  and 133 female subjects.They were shown images of models from the opposite sex.And then they were asked to rate each model's attractiveness,for both a long term relationships and for casual short term relationship.
Heres what they did:

The subjects rated separate images of body and face, and only then they were shown pictures of both body and face.The scale was from one to seven.

Well,the conclusion that the researchers made was this: When looking for a long term steady relationship,just 20 per cent of men gave higher scores to images of women's bodies than they gave to pictures of faces.But it jumped to 40 per cent when they were asked to rate the model's attractiveness for short- term affairs.
This is what pshycologist Dr Anthony Litlle, of Stirling University says " If you are looking for long-term relationships, you are looking for a friendly, humorous, cooperative and pleasent partner-information we get from faces.But when it comes to short-term relationships, men are not so bothered about whether someone has a nice-looking face, the body becomes a bit more important.They shift their attention."

So the gist is this: If u want to know if someone is into u...u just have to look into the eyes (but hey,i know it doesn't work that way always)
