'Unhappy home link to appearance'
"Two studies from a team at St Andrew's University suggested that women whose parents had separated or had a poor relationship looked more masculine."
"Women whose parents had a good relationship were found to be significantly more attractive than women whose parents had separated."
"Women whose parents had stayed together but had a poor relationship were rated the least attractive of the three groups and were also judged to be the least healthy."
"It could be that children inherit higher testosterone from their parents, which could have caused the problems in their parents relationship. But also our bodies release hormones to cope with stress and that might have a knock on effect."
It's all pretty interesting but unfortunate that having a poor home life can make you less attractive to most. Very science fiction-esque.
