I think they missed the important point that the redshirt's attractiveness is also attributed to the expendability of the wearer. Or perhaps they just mistaken the men for senior officers or merely want to use the redshirts to get to the more powerful members of the away teams.
Experimental flaw? The other shirt should have been black or white perhaps.. not a bright sky blue for sure.. may be women dont like that blue color.
so what you're saying is the more red I wear, the more chicks I'll get. I knew my all red unitard I've been wearing around town was a good idea. ;-)
