Dirty, pretty thingsFrom Psychology Today:
 Most people automatically assume pretty people are
healthier, but the Brandeis researchers say they're wrong. In men,
there's no link; and in women, the link is actually negative. Victor
Luevano of Brandeis suggests it's because attractive women are more
social and pick up more pathogens, though "that still needs to be
tested."
Emotional expression seems to signal wellness, but in men it's an empty gesture. Women who are healthier smile more. (Maybe they're happy to be illness-free.) But in men, more testosterone means a stronger immune system—and a more stoic façade. Interesting, no?
