Default Research on Symmetry
We\'ve discussed

before the view that body symmetry is an important visual quality in assessing a potential sex partner. Here\'s

some on-going research work that looks very

interesting.

I\'m interested in this especially because I\'m at all not highly symmetrical yet I seem to more

than \"get along.\" I\'d be interested in seeing how I measure on the quantitative tests the reseach team uses.

I wonder if anyone has been able to relate personal pheromone signatures to other symmetry metrics?

Very intriguing.

Good stuff, Whitehall.

I\'d think that, in cases like yours (never having met you, of course, and going on

description alone), factors like height, build, personality, status, etc., would more than make up for any \"lack

of symmetry.\"

It would be

interesting if there was differentiation in developmental asymmetry and genetic asymmetry. I suspect my asymmetries

are mostly the former.
