    BEAUTY DOES NOT INDICATE HEALTH.

    Isn’t this a simple verbalism? Fitness (intertemporal) and Health (Temporal)? Height, Morphology, Symmetry, and shoulder, waist, hip and all other ratios provide an exceptional test of Neoteny / Pedomorphism, which indicate accurate genetic potential. Health is transitory.

    Skin and eyes and movement tell everything.

    Conservatives are more likely to use an adultery site than liberals, and libertarians much more likely than Conservatives. Why?

    Um. Let me help y’all. It’s COSTS. For libertarians especially, and conservatives in general, interpersonal connections come at higher costs. These web sites effectively suggest that they offer opportunities at lower interpersonal COST. (All behavior is cost driven & costs vary.)

    Liberals are always on the market, and the price is cheap. Conservatives are on the market and the price is expensive, and libertarians are on the market and price is most expensive.
