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."

    I am an all-powerful and omnipotent being, and I therefor [sic] obviously know exactly where the prepostion should be.

    In addition to proper grammar, I'd think that God would pay attention to spelling as well.

    Besides, doesn't He have better things to do than kill time on /.? :-)

    Dude, my compliments on your sig. Seriously I'm jealous that I didn't think of it. Just got done reading "Atheist Manifest and the unreasonableness of religion" (my translation of the title). It's written in Dutch (ISBN: 9035126548) and I don't know if there's an english version. If there is one I'd highly recommend it.
