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.
