Ten Politically Incorrect Truths About Human Nature

Women often say no to men. Men have had to conquer foreign lands, win battles and wars, compose symphonies, author books, write sonnets, paint cathedral ceilings, make scientific discoveries, play in rock bands, and write new computer software in order to impress women so that they will agree to have sex with them. Men have built (and destroyed) civilization in order to impress women, so that they might say yes.

Taken from Ten Politically Incorrect Truths About Human Nature, an interesting and contentious article about how evolutionary biology and psychology supposedly influence us today. It claims the following:

- Men like blond bombshells (and women want to look like them)
- Humans are naturally polygamous
- Most women benefit from polygyny, while most men benefit from monogamy
- Most suicide bombers are Muslim
- Having sons reduces the likelihood of divorce
- Beautiful people have more daughters
- What Bill Gates and Paul McCartney have in common with criminals
- The midlife crisis is a myth—sort of
- It's natural for politicians to risk everything for an affair (but only if they're male)
- Men sexually harass women because they are not sexist

I don't entirely agree with some of the assertions, but I might do if I could read the source research.
