Go to any bar in any city at any given time and you’ll likely see the same pattern: hordes of Katherine Heigls making small talk with rows of Seth Rogans (pre-weight loss, of course). Perhaps this was why Knocked Up struck such a reverberating tone and enjoyed so much success—afterall, how many times (a day!) do we see attractive women giving schlubby (but lovable) men a shot?
Well, it looks like science (once again!) is behind this phenomenon. New research suggests that evolution is making women more attractive and leaving men as frumpy as they’ve always been.
While we’ve always assumed women are so much hotter now due to gym memberships, breast implants and gift certificates to Sephora, several studies suggest that stunning ladies are not only more likely to have more children, but also more likely to have daughters. Thus gifting the world with more good-looking women.
Markus Jokela, a researcher at the University of Helsink, followed 1, 244 women and 997 men throughout four decades and found that beautiful women had 16% more children than average-looking ones. Previous studies, by Satoshi Kanazawa, an evolutionary psychologist at the London School of Economics, say pretty women are 26% less likely to have sons.
The study got it all wrong. Women aren’t getting better looking, people are finding it harder to call others ugly. Everyone is “special” or “beautiful” in some way.
A woman isn’t a fat ass, she is a BBW and so on..
No no no this article starts at the bar… It says” Go to any bar in any city at any given time and you’ll likely see the same pattern: hordes of Katherine Heigls making small talk with rows of Seth Rogans (pre-weight loss, of course).” It’s clear that he has his bear glass on.
Evolution? I think that’s kind of a stretch.
It sounds like it has more to do with the intelligently guided & purposeful process of sexual selection (which Darwin later championed, instead of his highly flawed & dubious process of natural selection).
Either way, it’s a bonus. (I chose that word carefully)

If he has his bear glass on he has lots of other problems.

Large scale genetic studies have shown that women are far more successful at spreading their genes more widely and successfully through subsequent generations. Go figure.
Intelligent Design
Wouldn’t this be selective breeding not evolution?
Sometimes I wonder.

WHO CARES? Talk about off topic. It’s an observable fact there are more hot women than there used to be. Look at them and enjoy it. Who cares what the reason is as long as the trend continues?
hehehehehehehehe
Here Catherine, c’mon girl!
