Politically Incorrect Truths about Human Behavior

Psychology Today tells me what I always knew:

Physical attractiveness, while a universally positive quality, contributes even more to women's reproductive success than to men's. The generalized hypothesis would therefore predict that physically attractive parents should have more daughters than sons. Once again, this is the case. Americans who are rated "very attractive" have a 56 percent chance of having a daughter for their first child, compared with 48 percent for everyone else. (emphasis mine)

Here are some of the other "politically incorrect" truths:

• Men like blond bombshells (and women want to look like them)
• Having sons reduces the likelihood of divorce
• The midlife crisis is a myth—sort of
• Men sexually harass women because they are not sexist
