Wow, science - What can't you prove?
I don't know who these researchers are, but fuck they're brilliant. They got PAID to do this. Meanwhile, I've been fighting a production issue that wasn't caused by our group for two straight day and nights.
I used to think I was smart.

Researchers said that at their core, the male of the species had changed little since Neanderthal times, when reproduction was their prime objective.
The US scientists spoke to a sample of men and women to draw up a list of 88 factors that made women appear more "exploitable" - such as those who bite their lips or look sleepy - or suggested they were attention seekers.
They then showed photos of women illustrating this type of behaviour or characteristic to 76 other men and asked them to rate how desirable they found them, the Daily Mail reported.
A physical vulnerability such as being short did not result in the men finding the women more sexually attractive.
But psychological vulnerability - such as when the women were immature or unintelligent - resulted in them being given a higher rating, according to the study by researchers at Texas-Austin University.
