PRETTY GIRLS AND RICH MEN

THE WEEK (2009) 8/14 22

A new finding suggests that as evolutionary psych has told us over and over again that pretty women are attracted to rich men with high status. So, a study was done of a focus group of sexes, males only, females only. We don’t know. Since photography has been invented, girls picture have been taken. Over the years girl’s pictures were shown to some group. They were supposed to be pretty for their time. The group decided that the more recent photos of pretty girls were prettier than older pictures. These pretty women reproduce more than modest looking girls. It is something like 16%. They are more likely to have girls.

Now, that means they go after a tycoon with an ugly mug. Well let me finish. We will have more pretty girls in the future and ugly guys. Okay. However something smells.

You know what I am talking about. First cosmetics are even better than the past. Second, photography can enhance the looks of a person with lighting and lens work. Third, there are numerous players with ugly mugs that father many kids and then keep moving on. How do they figure into the picture?  Fourth we have a tendency to think our generation is better looking than the previous as hair style and cosmetics is closer to our looks.

Beauty and or handsomeness has always been with us, but has personified with television and the internet. So, you never can be pretty enough. Men have it a little easier, but that continues to change. So, a pretty girl gets tired of her tycoon and has a side affair and gets pregnant. What about those kids?

What would be nice if appearance was not important? That is just too ideal. So, the next possibility is that cosmetic surgery, cosmetics, and genetic manipulation can make most of us (I will only talk about myself.) happier. By now you have seen programs where individuals change their appearance for the better and they assimilate faster and have higher social esteem.

It is especially true for daughters and sons. Evolutionary psych is now being revised by a new theory that takes into account various cultures. This more apparent than with

Evolutionary psych.
