Women are twice as likely to wear RED when meeting a man they’re attracted to, research suggests, with the color “symbolizing lust, passion and fertility”
- Women wear twice as much red when they meet a man they like
It was an image that graced the bedroom walls of countless teenage boys.
And three decades later, Pamela Anderson shows that she still has the figure to model her famous Baywatch swimsuit.
The 55-year-old wore a red one-piece bathing suit in Malibu for Los Angeles-based brand Frankies Bikinis, with whom she has a partnership.
It was virtually identical to the one she wore when she played CJ Parker in five series of the hit 1990s TV show. Prince William once revealed that he had a poster of the actress hanging on his wall at Eton. Posting the new image to Instagram, Ms. Anderson wrote, “It’s about time – I’m so excited to share this with you.”
It was because a study showed that women are twice as likely to wear red when they meet a man they like.

More than half of those who took part in an experiment at the University of Potsdam, Germany, wore red dresses, blouses, scarves or lipstick when attending a meeting with a man whose photo they sparkled. If the man was less attractive, just over a quarter did.
The findings, published in the journal PLoS One, support previous studies showing that women often wear red to appear more attractive.
Psychologists recruited 280 women ages 18 to 46 for what the subjects thought was a project about intelligence. Each was sent a photo of the man they would meet to guide them through the study.
Nearly 52 percent who thought they met a handsome man showed up with red clothing or make-up.
Among those assigned to a less attractive man, that was only 26 percent. The researchers said: ‘Red was used in ancient mythology to symbolize lust, passion and fertility. The attractiveness of a social interaction partner does have an effect on women’s choice of clothing.’
