Beautiful Women Will Have Sex With Any Man, Researchers Say

OK they really don't say that but they do report that women are getting more attractive as men's attractiveness does not evolve at all.

Researchers at the University of Helsinki have found, as reported in The Times:

"'If more attractive parents have more daughters and if physical attractiveness is heritable, it logically follows that women over many generations gradually become more physically attractive on average than men.'

In men, by contrast, good looks appear to count for little, with handsome men being no more successful than others in terms of numbers of children. This means there has been little pressure for men’s appearance to evolve."
