Underwear the most important factor in choosing a mate, new study shows

So you're dating this new girl (or guy), and you think things are going great. They're funny, they're interesting, they didn't laugh when you got all vulnerable and revealed your nasty nickname from junior high -- so could it be love?

Maybe. But according to a recent survey, the clincher has nothing to do with looks, or common interests. Apparently it all comes down to your underwear -- and not necessarily the pair you're wearing the first time you two get busy.

Wanna Flirt, a UK-based dating site, surveyed hundreds of its members, and found that a person's undies were the most important factor when sizing up a new beau.

"A drawer full of holey underwear suggests he doesn't look after himself, so he won't be able to look after her," says one expert. "...a woman who looks after herself and looks good will turn you on more than a woman who doesn't," adds another.

I suppose it's true, that judging someone by the contents of their underwear drawer is just a tad superficial, but I'm not sure it's such a bad idea. Of all the places you never think anyone other than you is going to look, your underwear drawer has to top the list, right? So wouldn't this, therefore, be like a window to a person's soul -- a guide to how they really are, underneath that flashy smile, cunning intellect, and adorable laugh?

That being said, rifling through your date's skivvies the first time he or she lets you into their house probably isn't going to do great things for your relationship, so proceed with caution.

when my mother was in an automobile accident she was 76 years old. I needed to go into her underware drawer to get some undies for her when she was in the hospital. I was amazed at what I found there. It was truly an eye opener.
you are never too old....

So for men, it's just underwear minus holes - for women, it has to be Victoria's Secret?

i do have issues with myself. if my bottoms dont match the top i am off kilter for the remainer of the day... However, regarding my girlfriend....as long as she is out of her panites more than in I'm fine. Also its a bonus if she doesnt try to wear my bra or my thong. thats a little too close for comfort. she knows where i draw the line! :)

Just as important a question as how many holes someone's undershorts have is, "Does this person change into clean pair every day?"
