| #12 Wrong conclusion. Our idea of what's beautiful what's changing. Essentially the bar is lowering. Compare any of the old movie 'dames' with most of their modern counterparts. Sure, Cameron Diaz isn't ugly and certainly way hotter than Ben Stein, but head-to-head against Hepburn or Liz Taylor... |

| #11 All those wonderful anti-aging lotions now available in the drugstore's cosmetics aisle; relatively inexpensive and easily available plastic surgery; botox (not a look I appreciate properly, but some do); new and improved cosmetics, hair dyes, hair conditioners that curl or straighten or control frizziness, also available in the drugstore's cosmetics aisle... I worked briefly doing research in this area, and still have some contact with the field -- there's an awful lot of science behind "new and improved" in the beauty care sector, especially for the grocery/drug store beauty aisle products. More women are more able to look attractive in the currently fashionable mode than ever before. That doesn't actually mean the women are more beautiful than heretofore. |

| #8 Men discriminate, Percy? I thought as long as a woman was (usually) breathing.... ;-p |

| #7 Perhaps men are just getting less discriminating..... naw, impossible. |

| #6 Umm, yea, the scientific evidence is a little dubious. what about all the plain janes "forgetting" to take their pills who level the playing field? |

| #5 If women are evolving yet men are not, it seems that women must be competing more strongly for males than the reverse. Fight bitches! Winner gets Moi! |

| #4 while men remain as aesthetically unappealing as their caveman ancestors I feel better already. Now, where'd I put that mastodon bone. Oh yeah, over there on the sofa. |

| #3 from the article, "...The researchers have found beautiful women have more children than their plainer counterparts and that a higher proportion of those children are female..." The finding that beautiful women have a higher proportion of daughters than sons smells like BS. |

| #1 Ah, the kind of article that only a Brit newspaper would publish. But I bet Tipper posted this so that we could snark. Nope, not me, I know better :-) |
