Facial Scars can help win a woman's heart

Another strange article - Facial scars can help win a woman's heart! The gist of the article is that a facial scar, preferably one that looks like it was inflicted in anger rather than the aftermath of chickenpox or acne, increases men's attractiveness to a woman for a short-term relationship, according to researchers.

Exactly why women favour scars is not clear, but one theory is that they provide visible evidence of past trauma and may also communicate information about the man's history and personality, as well as affect their attractiveness.

It has also been suggested that scarring associated with violence may signal to a woman that the man has a risk-taking personality or above average masculinity, both of which might appeal to women for short term relationships. Because of that, scars may indirectly be a sign of good genes or a strong immune system that also appeal to women for short-term relationships.

I trust that Marists have enough common sense to take this with a bucket-full of salt. You can do your own informal survey when school starts. Go ask the female teachers whether they like guys with scars or without.
