Reasons for being Extrovert >> 1

If you are an attractive man or a woman, chances are that you are quite an extrovert.
Evolutionary psychologist, Dr Aaron Lukaszewski, of the University of California at Santa Barbara asked 85 male and 89 female students to rate their own attractiveness relative to their peers.
He found that stronger and more attractive men, and more attractive women, were extrovert.
Since strength and attractiveness have a strong genetic basis, it appears that we may learn our personalities, and adjust them to situations over time.
“It’s not the way psychologists have typically thought about personality,” New Scientist quoted Mr Wendy Johnson, a psychologist at the University of Edinburgh
