Women are getting more beautiful

[AccruedExpenditure]

FOR the female half of the population, it may bring a satisfied smile. Scientists have found that evolution is driving women to become ever more beautiful, while men remain as aesthetically unappealing as their caveman ancestors.

Women may take consolation in the finding that men are subject to other types of evolutionary pressure.

Gayle Brewer, a psychology lecturer at the University of Central Lancashire, said: ?Men and women seek different things in their partners.

?For women, looks are much less important in a man than his ability to look after her when she is pregnant and nursing, periods when women are vulnerable to predators. Historically this has meant rich men tend to have more wives and many children. So the pressure is on men to be successful.?

I still think the article is bs.

Have we even been alive to evolve that much? Doesn't something like evolution take like hundreds of thousands of years to actually have happen?

It's just another notch in the Men only care about good looking partners while women care more about the status/wealth of their partners. Obviously, there's exceptions to both though (not enough to defeat natural selection it seems).

good-looking parents were far more likely to conceive daughters

interesting

Human beings have been around for about 200,000 years.

from the comments of that article:

The premise that women are generelly becoming more beautiful certainly does not apply to the UK.
I have noticed in the last 20 years that most UK women have dropped the baton as regards beauty, it must also be a genetic thing as by an large UK women are not rated on their looks by our european neighbours as well.
Only migration by naturally good looking women coming into this county will save our chilidren from being classed as a nation of uglies, the genetic dregs of the beauty barrel, much like our American cousins.

:laugh:

Reminds me of a family guy joke where meg suggests 'death' kill all the girls that are prettier than she is and death responds, 'that would just leave england' :laugh:

Dunno about you, but I've got an extra foot.

Ok so if good looking women have more children than their uglier counterparts and they're most likely to give birth to girls than boys, wouldn't that mean the gender ratio will be thrown out of whack?

Why would this satisfy women? The men are getting all the benefit.

Wait, are they saying that attractive couples are 26% less likely to have sons? That's weird. They never explain that.

In other news, sales of shiny metal and sparkling stones are at an all-time high.

That would explain why I have two daughters and no sons.
