The reader who recently submitted a very helpful and much sought after graph, which shows the rapidly declining ‘reproductive value’ of a woman once she is past her teens, has given an explanation as to exactly how it should be interpreted. A couple of other readers suggested that the graph appears to show that evolutionary psychology would predict that men ought to find 3 year olds more attractive than 30 year olds, which obviously isn’t the case, and which makes clear that the graph isn’t a strict correlation between ‘reproductive value’ and ‘sexual attractiveness’.
