Maternal Dominance Hypothesis and Priviledged Daughter Hypothesis

I know exactly what you mean. Exactly why I have decided not to temp this cycle after a year, I need a break!

Absolutely. I know in the past I've also temped just to get to O confirmation, then not temped the rest of the 2WW, because it simply was too damned stressful for no reason. I think I'll start doing that again, because not being able to sleep due to worrying about the next morning's temp is pretty silly!

Thanks AS. Not going to think anything of it, been disappointed too many times in the past. Mine usually nosedives at 9-10dpo anyways.

Looking forward to my junk food binge feast for Monday though! Planning on fried chicken and poutine and sushi......okay it all doesn't really go together but I've been craving it for awhile now! Probably need a whole bottle of antacids too, LOL.

And even the symmetry of features criteria isn't something I buy into, I've seen some perfectly symmetrical examples and I find them anything BUT beautiful.

True, I'm sure there's someone out there who's perfectly and equally ugly on both sides!

I agree that the beauty thing is a ridiculous 'study'! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I completely believe that! As you say if there were pictures I bet we'd all see differing sorts of beauty in each person!
I truly hope that that post is just a language barrier causing problems I would absolutely hate for you to feel offended Atomic from anyone after all the hard work you have put into all of this. I am sure you know that so many of us are so incredibly grateful!

Fwiw I read skillets post as tonge and cheek. Seems she was trying to make light and poke fun at the data and how it's not actually fact and this as she says in the beginning, agrees with atomic.

I read so many things all day long it is totally possible I get things wrong sometimes. Only human but I do apologize if any misunderstanding.

YES YES YES a million times yes...I was saying I agree that some of the things cited by these various studies are ridiculous ...like sometimes old wives tales about the gender one is carrying turn out to be true and other times, just have a good laugh and go on about the day

Sorry, I had no idea that just saying I agree that some of the findings may or may not be true would cause a frenzy and that I didn't have a chance to get back on here sooner...my 19.5 week old boy is still a very poor sleeper who grazes around the clock....I am so looking forward to some real zzzz's....someday...
And some of my thoughts came from googling trivers Willard ...again sleep deprived and in agreement that these studies are not 100% spot on

Just watching a talk show now, and guess what other celebrity has a son?

Elizabeth Hurley!

Ok now come on ladies, if this doesn't disprove the ridiculous 'beautiful women have girls notion' I don't know what else well. I can't think of anyone more universally considered beautiful than Elizabeth Hurley.
