Researchers also looked at sexual dimorphism — or how masculine/feminine a face appears — and how it fits into general attractiveness and explain that the reason people/primates find symmetry and sexual dimorphism attractive is because they may be an indicators of disease resistance. (Wonder when Vogue is going to start marketing "disease immunity" as a Hot New Beauty Trend! Probably once they run out of ways to market $50 sunscreen.) Either way, we all can feel bad about our lack of face symmetry, because how the hell are you supposed to know how symmetrical you are?[UPI]

Well, duh, honey, you live in New York and lots of actors and model wait tables on the side! But she "investigates" and interviews tons of hot waiters and suddenly I'm filled with admiration for her brilliance, and a little revulsion for the cater-waiter who claims that the industry is mostly men because us girls can't handle the heavy lifting.
