Is this sound psychology?

This lady has ten "truths" about human nature, many of which have been discussed on this board. I just wanted to see what the medical professionals think.

1. Men like blond bombshells (and women want to look like them)
2. Humans are naturally polygamous
3. Most women benefit from polygyny, while most men benefit from monogamy
4. Most suicide bombers are Muslim
5. Having sons reduces the likelihood of divorce
6. Beautiful people have more daughters
7. What Bill Gates and Paul McCartney have in common with criminals
8. The midlife crisis is a myth—sort of
9. It's natural for politicians to risk everything for an affair (but only if they're male)
10. Men sexually harass women because they are not sexist

As a father of four daughters and one son, I would say this is definitely sound psychology.

I was thinking the same thing. However I was not blessed with a son, just the 4 daughters, so I guess that means Mrs. FM and I are hotter than the Meanies.

I guess it also means you're likely headed for divorce (see #5).

Reading psychology today for psychological truths is like reading cougar board for objective byu sports information -- there may be some kernal of truth in there somewhere, but you have to read through a lot of crap to find it.

What do Bill Gates and Paul McCartney have in common with criminals?
