Blue-eyed men 'prefer blue-eyed women'

Blue-eyed men prefer blue-eyed women because eye colour can help reveal whether their partner has been faithful, researchers say.
"Before you request a paternity test, spend a few minutes looking at your child's eye colour," Bruno Laeng and colleagues at the University of Tromso in Norway said in the study.
Under the laws of genetics, two parents with blue eyes will always have blue-eyed children, it said. So a blue-eyed man can know his blue-eyed wife or partner has cheated on him if their child has brown eyes.
"Blue-eyed men may have unconsciously learned to value a physical trait that can facilitate recognition of own kin," the scientists said in the journal Behavioural Ecology and Sociobiology.
I have blue eyes. That doesn't mean I prefer blue eyes to any other eye color. It is not the color of the eyes but the substantiality of what is behind them that matters the most.

I have light skin, but I find dark-skinned women attractive. What does that say about the validity of that source?
What if I have blue eyes and my blue eyed girlfriend cheats on me with a blue eyed man?
The test is flawed I think

This is about eye color which can be used as paternal evidence. I'm not sure this is 100% though. Consider people with eyes that don't have matching color (one eye green; the other blue, etc).
