Science: Hot Women More Likely to Feel They Can Do Better, Cheat on Their Partners

[Smitty]

Women with high levels of a key sex hormone are judged more attractive by themselves and others, and may be more inclined to cheat on their partners, according to a study published Wednesday.
University of Texas psychologists Kristina Durante and Norman Li found that women with high concentrations of the hormone oestradiol were likelier to flirt, kiss and have a serious affair outside an established relationship.

In a study published in the British journal Biology Letters, the duo described the behaviour as "opportunistic serial monogamy" and not related to one-night stands.

Instead, they suggested, such women were more probably being prompted to trade up in their relationships -- to find a better partner.

...

High concentrations of oestradiol are associated with big breasts, facial attractiveness and low waist-to-hip ratio, with the result that men solicit such women.

Darn darn darn....

Nope, Smitty... I'm afraid this doesn't count, but nice try anyway ;)

My bald spot extends from ear to shining ear...I must be a very manly man?

[Smitty]

How about that bald spot that many of us guys who wear helmets have?

[Denny Koch]

This article strongly reminds me of the "men with bald heads = high levels of testosteron"-theory ;)

My better half is not to knowledgeable or interested in the internet. She usually needs some help but is a fast learner. She is more the outdoor type. Just starting to be curious about computers/Internet. Our son, who is a computer eng., keeps trying to stimulate her interest in this. Not sure if this is good.

Mine sits with me - she's a curious gal - we often surf together...

Does anyone wives like to peek over shoulders to see what their menfolk are viewing on the Internet? Mine does once in a while.

[David Allen]

Next, they'll be telling us that women like tall, strong men with broad shoulders and a great head of hair. (That leaves me out....)

Who'da thunk large breasts, a cute face, and narrow waist-to-hip ratio would be attractive to men? Science sure is remarkable in the insight it can bring to our lives.
