Studies Have Shown

A recent study by UK evolutionary psychologist Satoshi Kanazawa has shown that attractive couples are more likely to have daughters.

What can I say?

You can't argue with science.

Wendy said...

Um, what shall I tell my three boys?

Traxy- a regular Brangelina your parents must be..

Peter- Yes, those poor lost souls

Wendy- To become awesome scientists and prove that bloke wrong

Karen said...

So what happens to that theory should you go on in future to have a male child? Does it make you less attractive as a couple?

We have two boys and then a girl. It would be nice to think we've become more attractive through that process but I think we just look tired and harrassed most of the time now.

Karen, don't question me, question Professor Whats-his-name.

But at a guess, I'd say that the moment we have a boy is the moment this scientific theory is rendered null and void.

Karen said...

Do you have a link to the study or where this was reported?

Now I want to find out more...

My Mum's parents must have have been good looking(although I never thought so) as they had 5 girls and no boys.

Yes Dad, 5 girls is quite a feat!
