Skimmed the article but this seems like a huge advert for my "Correlation does not imply causation" shirt

But yeah. Noticed this even growing up. Depending on when you were born you may be significantly older or younger than your school group which has emotional maturity implications which have "kids are monstrous little shits" implications. Same with how the fall and spring kids tended to have big parties while the winter and summer kids didn't since the former was too cold to go outside and the latter couldn't just give an invite out to the whole class.

And it stands to reason that adult men would be more impacted by this due to the whole loneliness epidemic. Lots of unresolved issues from growing up that just keep snowballing.

“The initial spark of the idea for this research arose when someone asked me if I believed in horoscopes. It got me wondering if there could potentially be a biological basis for them, in terms of how a person’s birthday could be associated with physiological or mental features.”

Hmm... the seasonal differences in diet and environment are probably greatly reduced in modern times, compared to when astrology developed. So maybe trends like this used to be even more pronounced.

I mean Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) does exist and isnt just a spotty correlation of birthdays like this article is about. It is a type of depression that's related to changes in seasons.
