Thanks! I found this review, and at first look it seems to support me more than y’all: unless I’m reading it wrong, it says that women’s desire to look good is explained only by competition for good mates. Now, I’m a total amateur and would love to be corrected, but the arguments offered so far just aren’t very convincing.
