In my earlier blog I had written about the Gender of a baby http://vbala99.blogspot.com/2010/09/gender-of-baby-ii.html. Today I read an article that said attractive couples are more likely to have a girl child than plainer parents. http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/200706/ten-politically-incorrect-truths-about-human-nature.
So those Indians who prefer to have a boy than a girl can choose an appropriate (ugly) partner. And vice versa. Wonder what else would be a factor in influencing the gender of a baby.
Now there was another article that talks about how a woman's preference (in the type of man she looks out for) changes with time http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/201010/the-double-life-women. There seems to be a distinct difference in what a woman looks for (in a man) and how she behaves depending on the time of the month. What is interesting is that men subconsciously understand the state of the woman and men's behavior also changes depending on the state of the woman. So snap judgments made about a woman could be wrong because the sampling was incorrect (women could exhibit different behavior at other times of the cycle).
Now people sometimes justify their behavior saying it's all due the hormones. I wonder what will happen if men had a similar cycle for testosterone and started to justify their behavior saying "it wasn't me" (I have loosely copied this dialog from a Sydney Sheldon novel on Multiple Personality Disorder). Will this "it was the hormones, it wasn't me" be accepted? We will have to wait and see.
