Women Getting More Beautiful, Men NOT!

HELSINKI (WUSA)--Evolution is favoring women over men. At least that's what a new study out of Helsinki says

According to the study released last week out of the University of Helsinki, women are getting more beautiful through the ages. On the other hand, men are remaining aesthetically the same.

University researcher Markus Jokela collected his data from the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study, a long-term examination of a random sampling of 10,317 men and women who graduated from Wisconsin high schools in 1957.

Nearly 50 years later, people in a separate survey were asked to look at the yearbook photos of around 3,250 of the Wisconsin participants and rate them as attractive or extremely attractive, on a scale of 1 to 11.

The researchers also found beautiful women have more children than their "plainer" counterparts. And most of these children are....beautiful girls.
