Why Are There More Good-Looking Women Than Good-Looking Men?

According to evolutionary psychologist Satoshi Kanazawa of the London School of Economics, good-looking couples are 36% more likely to give birth to a girl than less-attractive couples. This explains why there are more beautiful women than there are handsome men.

Kanazawa's research, which was submitted to the Journal of Theoretical Biology, suggests that beauty is a trait more valuable for women than men - men value physical attractiveness more than women do when looking for a mate.

Hence, one of the explanations why beautiful women sometimes marry unattractive men: there are just more pretty women in the world.
