Sounds like you're anti-male. Men as a group also die sooner than women. Does that make you happy too? “Men, depressingly, don’t lose out on dates as they age.”

If there is a correlation between confidence and actual attractiveness then the difference could be caused by the cleavage showers simply being more attractive. On the other hand, the steep male decline indicated to me that older men showing their abs, while perhaps more attractive than the non-flaunters, suffer from an inflated sense of attractiveness as they age.. just a thought =) I love this post (I have a deep appreciation for sexy graphs and data) but would suggest that those women showing cleavage in their photos are more likely to have higher confidence in their appearance than the non cleavage showing sample.
