Research suggests unattractive women choose careers

4/14/2012

New research indicates that women gravitate toward professional careers in larger numbers when they think they are not attractive enough to find a mate. A report in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology finds a reverse correlation between the number of available men in an area and the number of successful females, the Daily Mail reported. The study, which combined statistical research with in-person surveys, was conducted by three women and two men at U.S. and Dutch universities.
