In countries with superior health-care systems, women are more likely to be attracted to men with softer, more feminine facial features.British researchers showed 4,500 16-to-40-year-old women from 30 different countries pairs of images; each duo was a digitally altered version of the same male face. In the side-by-side photos, one image was subtly made to look more masculine, the other more feminine. The women were asked which they prefer.
Using statistics from the World Health Organization, the researchers found a direct correlation between countries with good health care and a preference for men with softer features. For example, 68 percent of the women in Sweden preferred the girlier-looking man, whereas 55 percent of Brazilian ladies picked the more masculine-looking face.
The researchers speculate that in countries with better health care women don't have to worry as much about the sturdiness of their offspring -- and thus are free to lust after less brawny-looking fellows.
So if you are a guy with a strong jaw, you should probably be calling your congressional representative and insisting that he or she vote "no" on any proposed health-care improvement.

My personal, unfunded research finds that women with access to better health care are 73% more likely to get dumped for guys.

My dear jojo, you have gotten it completely backwards. The article says that "in countries with better health care women don't have to worry as much about the sturdiness of their offspring -- and thus are free to lust after less brawny-looking fellows." In other words, the woman doesn't have to be as concerned about the health of her children, so she can choose a partner that may not be as sturdy, thus more effeminate.
All in all, a bunch of balogna altogether.

Women are extremely attracted to being in total control, a pre-whipped man is a step in that direction.

hahahahahaha... Women always control men, you just don't know it. You, the man, always want to be around the woman. If not, you are gay. Since you always want to be around women, they control you. To bad, so sad...LOL. If only the women of today knew what power they wielded.

Must be Democrat women. They are the folks responsiable for overly feminizing their men.

Right On!!!!!!!! What ever happened to "REAL" men? I think WE are a dying(sp?)breed. I wonder if part of it is maybe because boys today do not get out as when we were kids. Hell I'm 49 and I rember hardly ever being in the house. We were little wild savages running through the woods, building tree forts sometimes doing stuff like building ramps to do Evel Knievel jumps with our bikes or taking the forks and smaller front wheels and make homemade bicycle "choppers". I think kids today just don't know how to have FUN.
