Women Get Lots of Info From Male Faces

dtjohnson writes "Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have found that women have a remarkable ability to assess a man's testosterone levels and his interest in fathering children by looking at his facial features. Sixty-nine percent of the women were able to correctly judge a man's interest in having children merely by looking at cues on photograph's of his facial features. Saliva samples were also taken from each man in the study and tested for testosterone with a $2,000-a-pop test. The women in the study were able to correctly identify the men with the highest testosterone levels just by looking at their photographs. Of course, the study did not look at what men were able to tell about women by looking at photographs of their female body parts."

    Men can't tell what a woman wants by looking at a picture...or anything else, since women don't know what they want!

    ...gives research a bad name.

    Who funded their work? Who do they answer too? Why aren't they FIRED, FIRED FIRED!?

    More importantly- what legitimate research was overlooked so that this heaping, steaming pile of dung could be funded?

    Wonder why we haven't cured AIDS or have an engine that gets 100 MPG? Well, there's your answer.
