Have you ever been frustrated by not
being a woman’s type? It can be annoying, but

new study suggests picky women are actually key to survival and
biodiversity. Research conducted by the University
of B.C. and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis in Austria tested
the merits of the survival of the fittest. We’ve long believed that the strongest
species wins out in an environment, but researchers were puzzled as to why certain
species, say, the hundreds of types of similar fish living in the same water eating the
same food, don’t merge or why one species doesn’t win out.
The reason: The females aren’t interested. The study showed that
women preferred the mates from their neighborhood and found that delving outside of the
community costs a lot of energy. Also, males from other species are often considered
unattractive. As long as basic needs like food were covered, they searched for mates
among their species. For humans, women’s
specific tastes promote diversity and survival. If women universally liked tall guys,
short guys would be heading for extinction. But
women from different cultures, places and backgrounds have different tastes, and as long
as their basic needs are covered, they’ll stick to those tastes. That keeps
survival rates up and diversity flowing strongly.
