The Null Device

EvoPsych: Research in the UK has shown that appearance is more important than youth when men evaluate women's attractiveness; namely, that men find attractive older women more subjectively desirable than healthy but otherwise average-looking younger women. Why is this important? Well, for one, it suggests that the human sexual urge is based on aesthetic pleasure rather than reproductive fitness (as evolutionary psychology would hold that an average-looking yet fertile younger woman would be a better reproductive investment than a highly attractive, but less fertile, older woman).
