"Ten politically incorrect truths about human nature"

Yeah, guys love blue eyes because they watch girls' pupils dilating.

That's was pretty stupid actually. I mean it's nearly impossible to see the subtle changes even if a person has blue eyes. It is true though, I have seen it myself. That womens pupils dilate when they really like you.

A more believable explanation would be that it's easier to fool yourself that the person likes you if they have blue eyes.

Once i read that the article was by evolutionary psychologists, i became a bit skeptical, as Evolutionary Psych tends to claim it has "scientific evidence" for behaviors, when all they really have is speculation. Ive been studying this subject for the past few months, and their methodology is a bit...flawed, to put it lightly. Therefore, i dont really take too many of those "truths" too seriously, since for one, there is no practical way to establish that our ancestors were thinking in their develpmental phases (50,000 years or so ago), and also its absurd to generalize all human behavior, especially since another major claim of Evolutionary Psych is that all people have the same general psychology, regardless of location, ethnicity, etc., and that it has not changed in 50,000 years which of course couldnt really be true. The truth is that there is so much variance (6 billion different brains), that there's no way to make truisms about behaviour.
