  "'The Daily Show' is one of the few places on television where one learns new things," said Douglas Raybeck, professor emeritus of cultural anthropology at Hamilton College.
  
  Earlier this month, for example, it took viewers to the dorm of a Democratic Party superdelegate who was also a nerdy college student - lots of laughs, but also instructive that a person so young could be a superdelegate and that he was so earnest in his desire to do the right thing at the convention.

  "One means of reducing the discomfort created by the perception that we have no power or influence on the world around us," says Douglas Raybeck, a cultural anthropologist at Hamilton College in Clinton, New York, is to retreat from it into trivia.

  Sociobiologists wouldn't be surprised at the study, says Douglas Raybeck, professor of anthropology at Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y.It supports a leading theory in the field that applies to guppies and humans, and most everything in between.
  
  "They believe that for reproductive success for females, you want a male who can provide for the family and protect," Raybeck says."Aging males don't have the same energy and resources that a 20-year-old would have."
  
  On the other hand, Raybeck says, some researchers offer a different theory, which would seem to favor older males."One of the things females want in a male is someone who's not that threatening -- someone who's going to be around, as opposed to somebody who drops by, leaves sperm and leaves."
  
  Raybeck's own research supports the latter theory.He says it may also point to a difference between guppies and humans, who, as primates, have babies who take longer to mature and thus need extended care.

  For example, "A significant number of women described themselves as curvaceous or full-figured and an almost equal number of men were seeking these types of women," says Douglas Raybeck, an author of the study and a professor of anthropology at Hamilton College.He says while society, in general, prefers thin women, "these [heavier] women know there is a market there even though it isn't exalted by society."

  Raybeck says personal ads may be useful in your search for a significant other.He says people today have less time to find a mate and we have lost the social network that used to be in place because we are such a mobile society.So, what you're left with is singles bars, meeting places like the supermarket, the workplace (which is becoming less and less acceptable) and personal ads.
  
  "Personal ads can be a good first step in attracting love.They make a great deal of sense and are practical way to start off.But read them with a grain of salt, and know that they are putting their best foot forward," says Raybeck.
