This from Psychology Today, a magazine with credibility.

http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/index.php?term=pto-20070622-000002&print=1

I think a lot of their conclusions are totally off base and their questions and assumptions very western-centric.

Most of these conclusions assume that human beings are at their greatest value very early in life. I would heartily disagree with that. And if their assumptions are correct, there would be no need for humans to survive beyond the age of 35, to be any color except blonde haired and blue eyed, to exist in a family structure, to have hopes or dreams or happiness outside of reproduction. I think a lot of this article is pure crap. Yet it is being postulated as unremitting Truth.

What do you think?

YOu know Pyschology Today would not be taken too seriously among academic circles ....trained pyschologists and psychiatrists who have a good list of patients.

What might be true amongst their ridiculous conclusions, is much a large portion of the population believe it's better to be blonde, have big boobs, be young, etc. Over and over, I ask myself ....why are many Asian women dyeing their hair blonde, red, brown...and every other colour but black, their natural colour? Look twice, and think... why???

It's just so sad, when we can't accept naturally good stuff that was given to us from birth.

I believe most of these points are true - when people are not rising above their animal instincts. Thankfully, there are many men who do not live by their lower brain - sadly, most of these men are married.
