Having a sister makes you happier

A new study has suggested that having a sister while growing up is more likely to make you happy, optimistic and able to cope with problems. On the downside, the study suggests that having a brother does not have the same benefits.
Growing up with at least one girl in the family also makes people more able to cope with their problems, according to the study. Daughters tie loved ones closer together and encourage them to communicate their emotions more effectively, the researchers believe. "

All the comments contradicting this research are interesting - maybe it's just one of those subjects you can't possibly generalise on. Or maybe UM members are a small minority. I don't know, more research needs to be done on UM members! this is Unexplained-Mysteries dot com lol, we're all strange here

It is his opinion, respect.... if you want yours to be respected too. So you're saying we always have to respect the opinion of people, no matter what it is? The opinion of pedophiles, of dads who are attracted to their own daughters, of siblings committing incest? You know, you can't always respect someone's opinion.

You know, you can't always respect someone's opinion. Maybe he's just being vain. Like wanting a beautiful family instead of an ugly one. But even then, saying you want a sister for eye candy is obviously.... . Yeah.

NO NO NO, a hot sister = hot sister's FRIENDS and SLUMBER PARTIES where little bro gets "practiced on", or big bro has an easier chance in the dating game, if they're close in age, etc. Sorry i didn't clarify that earlier. Familial eye candy would be weird, plain and simple.
