What do you make of these articles.

Do You Really Have A Choice?

 This caught my attention because the study of how we choose our sexual partners has always fascinated me. I have heard of smell and physically appealing traits due to symmetry, but never the subconscious decisions based upon the amount of sperm or eggs we have.

Do you like sex? Do you only choose women whose waists are 71 % of their hips?  Or ladies do you only choose sturdy men who will provide you with a strong frame during ovulation? Apparently your choice in partners is all biological. According to Dr. Matthew H. Erdelyi of Brooklyn college its all a matter of science that influences our sexual decisions. We choose our partners based on their physical characteristics that exhibit health and on their proficiency of procreation.  This whole time I thought it was because of personality. Does this apply to you or are you the outlying factor?
