This article is stupid.
1. I think the difference in cultures between Sweden and Brazil play a much bigger role than the level of their health care. I think the health care correlation is a huuuuge stretch.
2. I think a “manly” looking man can help take care of a child just as well as a “feminine” looking man. It’s what’s inside that creates the unselfish, helpful type and not the lack of a square jaw.
3. I don’t think I’d actually call Johnny Depp feminine looking. The mascara/makeup thing for his roles or the funky way he dresses isn’t his bone structure or genetic make-up. He’s a wacky-arty kind of guy.
4. Comparing Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom to Clark Gable or Sean Connery is just dumb. How about to Clive Owen or Hugh Jackman? Or Harrison Ford? I’d take either of those 3 over Johnny Depp or Orlando Bloom. Any day. No offense to Depp or Bloom either – I consider them very cute. And love Johnny Depp.
5. I sure hope no actual money was spent on this stupid study. The wasted time is bad enough…

Ah, what researchers will do to get funding and get published. Historically speaking – women really didn’t have much say in who they married anyway because of arranged or forced marriages. This is really only a very recent phenom – and I think it has more to do with who happens to be more popular on the big screen at the moment. So they just applied it to their study. Silly science.
