Ugly Men More Fertile

"Ugly Men More Fertile, Produce More Sperm During Sex" ~ this was the headline staring back at me on my computer this morning. According to the article scientists have found attractive males produce less sperm during sex. These researchers think good-looking males are biologically geared to hold back their sperm in each encounter to increase their chance of impregnating more females.

My, my. I had five pregnancies. I personally don't think Jim is at all ugly, so does this mean if I had married someone ugly, I might have had a dozen kids?! My oldest son has three children. Does this mean he is a "tad" better-looking than his dad? Should we start judging a man's attractiveness by the number of children he has produced? Jacob, in the Bible, had twelve sons. Guess we are lucky they didn't have cameras back then!

Actually, after reading further into the article, I realize that these findings (from the University of Oxford and University College London -- at least it wasn't American tax dollars paying for it!) are backed up by studies of chickens and fish!

What I want to know is -- how in the heck do you tell the ugly chickens and fish from the good-looking ones?!

Personally, I think the only good-looking chicken or fish, is the one on the dinner table!
