Science Says: Hot Guys Are A-Holes
Daily Beast ^ | February 12, 2015 | Charlotte Lytton

New research has discovered that attractive men are more selfish than their less aesthetically gifted peers, putting a firm end to our dreams of finding an altruistic Adonis.

Psychologists at Brunel University in London measured the bodies of 125 men and women using a 3D scanner, calculating traditionally attractive traits such as slimness and waist-to-hip ratio (for the latter group). They then completed a personality test, which assessed their attitudes to selfishness and inequality, before partaking in a money-based economics experiment, designed to challenge their beliefs on having and sharing wealth.

Which may explain why so many men used to have mistresses. No one woman filled both functions.

An explanation, mind you, not a justification.

I sense that you are an individual of great perception and judgment. Hearing from one such as you is an honor and a pleasure.

of course. That’s what underlies lesbianism: Women are hardwired to crave love from males. Ugly or hurt women seek each other out trying to fill that need. But it’s a relationship doomed to failure, because as much as they try and lie, neither woman can provide to the other what they instinctively seek. That’s why the divorce rate of lesbian couples is so high, and why women who can, such as Anne Heche, return to a heterosexual relationship.

The same thing is true of male homosexuals. They want love from women, but they’re afraid of women or in desperate need of approval from (or dominance of) other males, so they distort those needs into sexual expressions, which are as out of place as taking your German Shorthair on a dinner date.
