Jealousy Trouble? Measure Your Lover's Ears

Thu Aug 22, 6:37 AM ET

LONDON (Reuters) - If you are worried about jealousy ruining your

love life, here's the latest scientific advice: try measuring your

partner's ears. Or feet.

Researchers have found that asymmetrical people are more likely to be

jealous in love than those who are symmetrical.

Scientists have long shown that people whose faces and bodies are the

same on both sides are considered more attractive and have an easier

time attracting mates.

Brown of Dalhousie University in the Canadian city of Halifax

wanted to test how that effects jealous behavior, one of the

strategies people use to keep their lovers from roaming, New

Scientist magazine reported on Thursday.

" If jealousy is a strategy to retain your mate, then the individual

more likely to be philandered on is more likely to be jealous, " Brown

said.

He looked at 50 men and women in heterosexual relationships of

varying degrees of intensity, and compared paired features such as

feet, ears and fingers to see who was symmetrical.

The volunteers then filled in a questionnaire already used in other

studies to test who was jealous in love.

Brown found that lopsided people were considerably more likely to be

jealous lovers, with symmetry possibly accounting for 20 percent of

the difference in romantic jealousy between people.

Brown also tested whether lopsided people were jealous in other

areas, such as work, but found that asymmetrical people are not more

jealous in general -- just, alas, in love.

Wow Ken:

Yeah, a little on the silly side here! LOL.....don't these

scientists have anything better to study???!!!

I like how they refer to assymetrical people as " lopsided " ....gosh,

couldn't come up with ANY better word?!

Sorry, I find this just down right silly and it's cracking me up! Me

& my warped sense of humor!

Oh brudder!!! I love how they kept saying " lopsided people " . I'm

going to have to teach Ems how to fight the big green monster because

she's rather " lopsided " . At least she'll have some weapons of

defense when she gets her band on Monday. WHEW. hehehehe

I saw something on this on The View. They were talking about how asymmetrical people aren't as attractive. I beg to differ because we have some very beautiful babies here!! Can't they find something better to use our tax dollars for?

Ok, this is so silly that I couldn't help but chuckle! How lopsided

are these people talking? Just about everyone I know has one foot a

bit larger than the other. And lets not even go into one booby

bigger than the other...just had this conversation with my sister-in-

law! Oh well, one more reason to be glad that I had the twins banded!
