Study: Men With 'Cavemen' Faces Most Attractive to Women
Fox News ^ | Thursday, August 23, 2007 | Jeanna Bryner

Guys with bulldog-like faces have been chick magnets throughout human evolutionary history.

A recent study of the skulls of human ancestors and modern humans finds that women, and thereby evolution, selected for males with relatively short upper faces.

The region between the brow and the upper-lip is scrunched proportionately to the overall size of their heads.

Among the men who fit the bill: Will Smith and Brad Pitt.

In a past study, researchers found a similar facial pattern in chimpanzees, with males having relatively shorter and broader faces compared with females, controlling for body size.

Men with "mini mugs" might have been most attractive to the opposite sex and thus most likely to attract mates for reproduction, passing along the striking features to the next generation and so forth, said lead study author Eleanor Weston, a paleontologist at the Natural History Museum in London.

It says loading and goes up to 98% then the same thing pops up again. Happens fast. Oh well, I guess I’ll keep trying.

This may explain why Rupert Grint is so popular.

I can't stop laughing when I hear that Dickensian name.

And I have to stop and think, "Is it Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley, or Ron Weasley who plays Rupert Grint?"

Also, it's funny when people call him "Rupert Grunt" (another more or less Dickensian name).

I think these studies are made up by guys not getting laid so they can explain away their pathetic existance in the sack.

Late 60s touchey feely hippies
70s rockers vs disco studs
80’s preppy yuppies
90’s grunge/rap
2000’s hip hop/goths/caveman headed dudes?

Kinda hard to follow the logic trail in this one.

Anytime my confidence was down so were my dates. Confidence up couldnt beat them off with a stick.

Or He’s just a silly Scot that drinks too much and gets upset over stupid things like spelling errors.

I could care less how MacCloud is spelt; I’m not a Scotty, it’s not important to me at all.

Plus, If there is someone with the name spelled that way, at least you know they aren’t part of a highly inbred clan.

And just what right does a skirt wearing Scot have calling anyone else a poofter?

What right does a commie clansman have calling someone else a socialist?

And why would he think anyone would want to falsely claim heritage to short, fat, balding, red headed genetically ingrained towards alcoholism with uncontrollable tempers?

One more thing, Bill. My comment was actually complimentary to someone with the name Macloud, even though it in no way reflects reality.
