Well, I knew a guy who was buttfuggly, had no money, and never had a problem dating the hottest chicks.
Years later we found out that he was the proud owner of fifteener.
And there were witnesses.

In some of her earlier work, Petrie showed that men with greater genetic diversity in areas of the genome relating to disease defense were also rated as more attractive by women. Bodies better at killing bacteria smell better.

I believe the point of the research is this:
Beautiful people are more likely to possess/carry genetic (DNA) mutations. Nature wants these subtle mutations, so it makes the carriers more attractive and more likely to mate more often.

She wasn't born with them either.
She has always had those lips....

Everything is Beautiful
Ray Stevens
Jesus loves the little children,
All the little children of the world.
Red and yellow, black and white,
They are precious in his sight.
Jesus loves the little children of the world.
Everything is beautiful in its own way.
Like the starry summer night, or a snow-covered winter’s day.
And everybody’s beautiful in their own way.
Under God’s heaven, the world’s gonna find the way.
There is none so blind as he who will not see.
We must not close our minds; we must let our thoughts be free.
For every hour that passes by, we know the world gets a little bit older.
It’s time to realize that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.
And everything is beautiful in its own way.
Like the starry summer night, or a snow-covered winter’s day.
Oh, sing it children!
Everybody’s beautiful in their own way.
Under God’s heaven, the world’s gonna find the way.
We shouldn’t care about the length of his hair, or the color of his skin.
Don’t worry about what shows from without, but the love that lives within.
And we’re gonna get it all together now; everything gonna work out fine.
Just take a little time to look on the good side my friend,
And straighten it out in your mind.
And everything is beautiful in its own way.
Like the starry summer night, or a snow-covered winter’s day.
Ah, sing it children!
Everybody’s beautiful in their own way,
Under God’s heaven the world’s gonna find a way.
One more time!
Everything is beautiful in its own way.
Like the starry summer night, or a snow-covered winter’s day...

Ugly people dont get the chance to reproduce as much. I am not sure what to make of the genetic way forward for Bill and Melinda.

Thanks for posting photo. I know Angelina is the real deal (at least as to poutly lips).
To: Al Gator
Before I proceed any further, and you may think I’m ignorant, but I have to admit I have no idea what a fifteener is.
As for a guy having no looks, no money, and no brains, well, women form the other half of natural selection. Who’s to say they can’t make mistakes? Lol!

I dont see any sign of evolution in modern man.
However, there is ample evidence of de-evolution in terrorists and their supporters...
