All my girlfriends who took the pill started only after they met me.

When a woman is fertile, she’s more attracted to men with more traditionally masculine features.

So that's why I ended up with three wives and six sons.

<P>Some people like to think there’s something fated about who we fall in love 
with. It’s that perfect mix of attraction, compatibility, and of course timing. 
But in some cases, fate may be taking its cues from birth control pills.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.scientificamerican.com/podcast/episode.cfm?id=pill-may-change-attraction-09-10-08"><P>First, let’s go over a woman’s cycle and how that affects attraction. When women are ovulating, their features change in ways that men unconsciously pick up. So men are particularly attracted to women when they’re fertile. And it works the other way, too. When a woman is fertile, she’s more attracted to men with more traditionally masculine features and who are genetically dissimilar to her, or more compatible in terms of procreating.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.scientificamerican.com/podcast/episode.cfm?id=pill-may-change-attraction-09-10-08"> researchers say that women on the pill do not show the ovulation-induced 
attraction to genetically dissimilar partners. So they might be choosing men who 
are more genetically similar—which could lead to some of the problems with 
conception that have become increasingly common. Because attraction isn’t fate. 
It’s chemistry.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/A656AF79-A587-4445-9C82-5368D280CB80/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
