Well the beauty train missed the last 2 bitches Chris stuck his dick in :D
Interesting. Over thousands and millions of years, from an evolutionary standpoint, this really makes senese. Women are chosen as mates based primarily on their looks, where as men are not. Where's the article saying that men are getting richer? lol
Im sorry but I totally dissagree with this. My husband will tell you in a heartbeat that he wanted to be with me bc of how I looked. Not the fact
that I could have babies. Men are visual creatures...so therefore the looks come first in my opinion. And once they are with you then maybe the whole disscussion of babies and the woman's health come into play but even then..i think if you look THAT damn good..most likely he is gonna
stay. just sayin =)
^^btw..where are you getting your statistics??
I find myself to be the minority as female. I care more about looks than money. Of course he has to be financially stable, but he doesn't have to be rich as fuck by all means. I can't fuck someone i'm not physically attracted to. Can't do it. I also want pretty babies. Call me shallow, don't care. lol.
Here is an article describing what makes a person attractive:
http://www.onlinedatingmagazine.com/...ttractive.html
In the "Women are getting more beautiful" study, what is the scientific methodology used to guage each offspring of the 1,244 women? You can't really take a ruler to a child and be able to tell if their face will have all the required proportions in adulthood.
The current world population is around 7 billion people. The ugly people are definitely breeding in mass. You could view the evidence by taking a trip to Wal Mart. As far as the article's statement that more beautiful women tend to have more children, Maury Povich would beg to differ.
Western beauty requires a high amount of upkeep and enhancement. You can be born with all the genetic blessings of beauty, but if you don't care for yourself properly, your waist-to-hip ratio will grow and you will fall into the ugly category. Pictures from the American pioneer era contain some rough looking women. This has more to do with the harsh living conditions of the 1800s. Point is environment influences beauty as well.
Well Arianna..I believe thats her name...said that women are chosen based on looks. You then quoted her and said that "actually" women are
chosen based on fertility and health. Which sounded to me like you were dissagreeing w/ what she was saying. But now your saying that health and fertility is the same thing lol Your point really confuses me.
Btw some fat and old women I do find to be gorgeous. Which in turn if your saying that good health and fertility is what makes a woman look good..what about all the men that like to be sat on by their 800 pound wife?? they obviously find her attractive. So honestly you make no sense to me.
Hmmmmmmmm....both of us are hot......is it too soon for me to start spawning little antichrists? }:D I know they would be very very cute and evil.....
Gotta chime in here. A lot of the characteristics that are considered beautiful by typical standards (ie, those promoted in the media) are indicators of health and fertility. Men don't intentionally look for a fertile woman, but they are evolutionarily programmed to respond to certain cues. Ex - a .7 ish hip to waist ratio, clear skin, thick hair etc.
i agree. beauty is generally a reflection of overall health. i have rarely seen a beautiful/gorgeous person in very poor health. most people who are healthy and happy and take care of themselves (and their children) tend to be more beautiful than people who are not. so maybe beauty in turn almost provides a translation for men (which are dumb and clueless) taht beauty is an indicator of fertility and a preferable mate. of course ugly people breed ugly people and they do in mass proportions, but for the ugly male, the ugly female is probably the best ATTAINABLE mate... that is my ignorant observation, not scientific discovery.... lol
Interesting article. But it is true that instinctively men will go for a woman they subconsciously know is great for having children, while a woman will go for a man broader and stronger for protection and that can provide. Thing is that generally this isn't what is running through our heads when we are checking out potential mates lol. It's just in the back of our minds underlying everything else.
Speaking of women's attraction to men, they tend to go for nurturing men when they're at infertile points of their cycle, and go for very strong, hyper-masculine men during ovulation. If a women can get away with cuckolding, it confers great benefits to her child--she can take the best of both worlds in terms of genetics and upbringing. The problem is that spousal abuse is directly correlated to doubted paternity, so women who cuckold their husbands have also evolved toward choosing mates that look like their husbands but better.
In terms of men's attraction to women, like others have said, beauty=health=fertility. Men are designed to want to fuck every attractive woman they see, but tend to invest time and resources on the children of attractive women who they perceive as motherly, because these children will already have an advantage over offspring they may have with "unmotherly" types, and it's better for your genetic line to invest in these more than others who lack this advantage.
This basically explains gender relations.
My last trip to Walmart completely contradicts that article! Those beasts all have 5 kids minimum.
I am with you vy! Thats why I have only been with one guy since jason. I am too damn picky I just never see anyone I am attracted to!
lets be honest, makeup is just getting better and photoshop works wonders
:duck:
^^Gotta agree there
What about us poor guys?
Guys have become much more muscular over the last 30 years. I'm not sure body building existed 50 years ago.
i always assumed the reason women don't get more beautiful each generation, assuming beautiful women have more children, is what is beautiful in a women is not beautiful in a man and vice-versa.
I find it difficult to believe beautiful women have more daughters. I will ask around and keep count and report back. May take a while.
