Going to type up the info I promised so long ago....
it's kind of amusing in places, but interesting.

Excerpted from Encyclopaedia Of Things That Never Were :

Mermaids, -Men

"...Most mermaids are strikingly beautiful, even if this beauty sometimes appears a trifle cold. They are blonde, with long tresses ranging in colour from light brown to the tint known as 'strawberry blonde', and possess large green or blue-green eyes. Their skin is an immaculate pearly white, with a silvery sheen when it is slick with seawater.
...The species develops slowly and it is impossible to tell the age of a merperson. The exquisitely beautiful children take a long time to reach adolescence, they enjoy a prolonged maidenhood, and when they reach their prime they retain the appearance of a mature human female for innumerable years.

Mermen are stalwart, swarthy, hirsute, and muscular, but with softer characters than their appearance would seem to indicate.
Both sexes are human in appearance above the waist and fishlike below, with large tailflukes but no dorsal fins. They are, however, capable of changing their fish-like nether regions into human lower limbs, so that they may walk upon dry land, whenever they so desire. It is even possible that many merpersons spend the greater part of their lives, in or out of the water, with limbs instead of fishtails.

Relationships between merpersons and human beings are exceedingly complex. The two races have a great physical attraction for each other, but their characters are so different that associations between them usually end in disaster. Merpersons do not have souls, they are able to foretell the future, they are vain, jealous, and unforgiving, they have some degree of supernatural power, and they are probably immortal.
...Mermaids sing very sweetly, but they are hopeless cooks and mermaid beauty soon palls on a husband who arrives home and finds nothing but raw fish for his tea. They neglect the housework, being so vain that they can spend most of the day admiring themselves in the mirror and trying out new hairstyles. When the children come along they have webbed hands and feet, which makes them expert swimmers but ineffective at most other children's games. On the whole it is a relief for all concerned when a mermaid slips away with her children and rejoins her friends in the sea.
Merpersons always know, by their power of foretelling the future, that marriage with human spouses cannot endure, but nevertheless they often show jealous fury when a marriage collapses. They tend to blame the human, and often cast some spell or curse upon the wife or husband. A fisherman who takes a merwife may as well stay ashore after she has left him. He will never catch another fish, and there is even a likelihood that he and his boat will be destroyed.

There are numerous relationships with merpersons apart from marriage. The saddest is when a young mermaid falls in love with a human but he does not respond, so that she pines away from hopeless desire. Sometimes a coastal community befriends a mermaid in order to benefit by her powers of futuresight, which she employs in return for such gifts as golden combs and mirrors. It is very useful for a fishing village to have an infallible weather forecaster, and to be told exactly where to fish for the biggest catch.
Occasionally a mermaid who conceives a passion for a human male will endow him with some of her own supernatural power, such as the ability to find treasure in sunken ships. Or a merperson may take a special liking for a human child, become its self-appointed guardian, and inflict horrible punishments upon anyone who ill-treats the human ward.
Some members of the clergy have caused great distress by attempting to convert merpersons to Christianity, especially when they are beautiful young mermaids. it is, of course, a hopeless endeavor.

Generally it may be said that merpersons are delightful creatures to observe at a distance but uncomfortable on closer association. Their intentions towards human beings are usually amiable, and they are rarely malicious unless they conceive themselves to be offended, but the differences in temperament between persons and merpersons are insurmountable."

So what did we learn? That merpeople have no souls.
