Are Women Getting More Beautiful?
FelxH writes "Scientists have found that evolution is driving women to become ever more beautiful, while men remain as aesthetically unappealing as their caveman ancestors.
The researchers have found beautiful women have more children than their plainer counterparts and that a higher proportion of those children are female. Those daughters, once adult, also tend to be attractive and so repeat the pattern." I just thought my
standards were changing as I got older, but it turns out it's just science!
It's called Photoshop.

Until these females develop an interest in Linux (and know that it's really GNU/Linux) plus a preference for subterranean dwelling, nobody here is likely to notice.
Confucius say, "Find worm in apple - bad. Find half a worm - worse."
I'm confused, how does this help the average slashdotter? Perhaps you are just reminding the readers that an even higher proportion of women are out of their league. Salt in the wound, my friend.
What downside? That's what the Internet is for.
Thanks to technology, you can see more boobs in an hour than your dad had in his entire stack of Playboys, and than your grandfather did during his entire life.
I'm going to use this as an excuse when I break up with my 50 year old wife,
"Sorry it's not you it's evolution, younger women these days are just much more attractive".

Three numbers:
36 - 24 - 36.
You are just bitter cause you are ugly, in a very objective way...
Not in Liverpool. Looking at the women on dating sites for this city is like looking at a freak show. Seriously.

So easy a caveman can do it.

If evolution is making women more attractive, does creation have the inverse effect?
36 - 24 - 36

Speak for your own grandfather. My grandfather was part of the army that liberated Paris. I'm told that the French were most appreciative..... ;)
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
I guess men from the Renaissance were the same as us, except highly compressible.
They weren't any more or less compressible, they just used a more efficient algorithm.
I prefer rogues to imbeciles because they sometimes take a rest.
So, how many millihelens per century is beauty incresign by?
Huh. I had no idea that watching my wife grow in beauty over 15 years was watching evolution in process. Nice.
This discovery has lead to the solution to a particular slashdot meme.

Women who are interested in *me* are in no way whatsoever getting more beautiful.
Because it's getting crowdy on this little planet.

good lord.
I too am skeptical, but for a different reason, best summed up by a delightful rhyme I saw on a birthday card recently:
See the mothers in the park,
They're rather ugly chiefly.
Someone must have loved them once,
But in the dark, and briefly.
You sound fat.
I want to delete my account but Slashdot doesn't allow it.
If you mention to someone in the 1920's that one can get arrested for photoshoping a pic of Miley Cyrus (16 years old), they'd look at you funny.
Yeah, and they'd want to know what's photoshop and who's Miley Cyrus.

My former favorite "Here I sit all broken hearted" seems kind of dull compared to that masterpiece.
