Jennifer Have any of you noticed that it the readers of this book are almost always women? I thought this was strange since the book itself is so male-centered.

Spencer I wonder if it is because "beautiful" is a descriptor women more readily identify with, while men tend to see themselves as "handsome" or "dashing." Also, the "daughters" in the title might grab women's interest more than men. I am sure there is a evolutionarily psychological explanation. Is your evidentiary support based on the gender of Goodreads reviewers or something else? Just curious.
