Oh by the way, these “scientists” no doubt accept homosexuality… I wonder what their “theory” is people have evolved “gay”.

At least, I think that’s what the article’s saying.

No, what the article is trying to say (well, is being forced to say, but doesn’t want to highlight) is:

This so-called “lek paradox” (a lek is a group of males congregated for mating) has plagued evolutionary biologists for decades.

Again, this isn’t some small unimportant piece of news. It’s just more piling on, showing how ridiculous evolutionary theory is. The best example? Certainly not. But just one more none the less. Again, they don’t consider that this actually poses a problem for their theory (read: assumptions), they just pretend they don’t have a full understanding of it yet. The problem is, they don’t have an understanding of most of what they talk about, because it’s all simply assumption, and contradictory evidence is constantly forced to fit in to an ever changing “theory”.

So even if the ladies lined up for the big A, a lot of my kids would still be fugly. Heh.

Do not despair big A. You have something that time won’t erode–a big ol’ brain. And that’s what really matters, as Ron White says: looks go, but you can’t fix stupid!!! (Thank God I’m so perfect….)

Heeey!

I spent two years in the same HS(Chicago Academy for the Arts) as actress Lara Flynn Boyle.She was a ***** to me.
She was born in May of ’70-I was born in October.
She looks about 10 years older than me.
heh.
Oh-and my husband is kind of a “Dennis Franze” type.
He’s a kind of frumpy nice guy.

You are all so, er, um, superficial. Yeah. That’s the ticket. You’re all superficial.

Why, the other day, I was telling my wife, Morgan Fairchild, that the problem with men and women today is that they are fixated on good looks when they should fixate on good looks AND money. And my wife, Morgan Fairchild, agreed with me. Did I tell you my wife is Morgan Fairchild?

Now please pass the Grey Poupon.

You’ve been a great audience. Thank you very much, I’ll be here all week.

I used to be attracted to beautiful women who were crazy in bed. Trouble is they were crazy everywhere else too.

On urban legends and looks - scroll down until you see M. Monroe

My favorite joke on ‘brains’ is when at the graduation the proud father tells his friends “my son, he’s got my brains”, and the mother replies “of course, because I still have mine”.

If, when the honeymoon is over, you can have long brunches together, talk and smile to/at each other, go about your tasks in silence and the confidence that the other is there for you, are together at times and completely trusted to be alone on others – it’s beauty.

AP, you’re hilarious.

It is much more than looks for us humans. When we’re young it’s all about the looks. As we mature, we realize we’re looking for something far more substantial and sustaining. Unfortunately, as some people age, in their haste to remain youthful they hang on to the “looks” thing and end up unhappy people. At least some I know have ended up that way. People who choose substance over looks seem to have longer and happier marriages.

Don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m pretty, at least for a 6-foot-3 guy. Must be the Irish gene. No self-esteem problems here. JammieWearingFool on March 28, 2007 at 7:15 PM

"Pretty?" I'm not sure I've ever heard a guy describe himself as "pretty" before. Except for maybe THIS one, which of course is our favorite Republican.

We definately need to institute ugly day at the mall. All ugly people must stay home one day a year. We have to put up with them all year long and one day free of ugliness isn’t too much to ask!

In my junior year of college I was dating a very good looking blond, blue eye, basketball player with a 6’5″ frame. Then in a finance class I met this handsome, brown hair, hazel eyes 5’8″ soccer player. In less than a month he had my boyfriend and I broken up. My g/fs were like why? Tehn theyb met my husband. It was and still is his personality.

Everyone I know who married an exceptionally great-looking guy is divorced now.

An outcome for which you should blame … feminism.

Feminism told women that (a) modesty and chastity are bad things, and (b) that being “equal to men” is the goal of life. Therefore, women started dressing like floozies, screwing like whores, and treating men as sex objects.

Nowadays, any halfway decent-looking guy with half a brain and 30% of a personality can get laid on demand, so naturally any really good-looking guy, married or not, is pursued by hordes of floozies.

A sensible discussion of this subject is impossible, because most people have not studied human mating patterns extensively enough, or disinterestedly enough, to be sufficiently knowledgeable and sufficiently objective on the subject. Amid such a vast clamor of ignorance, prejudice and emotion, the voice that speaks reason and knowledge is drowned out.

Alas ….

Did this writer factor in how it’s the best dressers (clothes being human feathers) are always gay?

When I was in high school and college, I was all about the looks and not much else. Once I got close to graduation, though, and started looking for “the One,” my priorities changed. I looked for someone whom I could trust and respect, who would earn a good living, who would make a good father, etc. I think I ended up with a good-looking guy anyway, but that wasn’t my priority anymore. My husband might not have made it through Darwinian natural selection back in the days of primitive humans, but he’s certainly among the fittest in our modern sit-behind-a-computer-and-make-oodles-of-money world!

I’m glad he doesn’t look like George Clooney. Everyone I know who married an exceptionally great-looking guy is divorced now. (Not to paint all you exceptionally great-looking guys with one brush…)

I could be on Tyra Banks’ “America’s Next Top Model”…if I wasn’t a man and if I didn’t have any self-esteem.
