Why women find some guys handsome and others hideous

These Scientists don't go out much do they?



Right bunch of charlies the lot of them...

Virgins!

There is truth in the article, but the conclusions are all ass backwards!

Evolved women pick evolved men who are intelligent, faithful, and caring (here called "wimps").

Unevolved women pick unevolved men who are stupid , promiscuous, and violent (here called "hunks").

Evolved people create a safe and prosperous society, that's why the women in wealthier nations prefer the "wimps" - these women are evolved people with evolved tastes.

Unevolved people create an unsafe and miserable society, that's why the women in poor nations prefer the "hunks" - these women are unevolved people with unevolved tastes.

How do female chimps pick their mates?

Unevolved people create society.

Society creates "evolved" people.

Evolved people create various misbirths of overfed troglodytish football jocks with neanderthalesque pursuits and understandings and effeminate nerdbombers. With the occasional antihuman lesbianistic dykobot.

Society then takes a good hard look in the mirror and cuts it's own throat.

Sure, some things are temporarily devolving, but you need to raise your perspective. Evolution is a Universal Law in the grandest sense. Setbacks can and do occur, but they are fleeting. In the biggest picture, things always get better over time! Unevolved things evolve. And evolution always goes from the worse to the better, from darkness to light!

Perhaps you can regain some level of faith in Evolution by considering an example - the human smile!

This friendly gesture has an evolutionary history like this:


A primitive animal would attack and attempt to kill any rival of his species by sinking his teeth in his throat. Fights were to the death.

Then he evolved into a modern ritual animal.

Now he would show his teeth as a threat instead of attacking. The weaker would get the chance to retreat and go somewhere else, and no killing was necessary. To signal submission, the weaker animal bared his throat. But instead of biting it, the winner let the loser flee.

Then he evolved into a social animal.

The gesture of baring teeth was now used on a daily basis in non-hostile situations as a tool of aggression to maintain the established pecking order within the pack.

Then he evolved into a hominid.

The pecking order aspect became less important. Everyone in the pack would still bare teeth at the one with lowest rank, or the one who broke the pack rules. But the emotion of anger against the outsider changed to relief of belonging to the group. Many humans are still at this level, laughing at things like Americas Funniest Home Videos. They enjoy seeing others embarrassing and hurting themselves, because it gives the sense of relief it's not them being on the receiving end of ridicule!

Then he evolved into a fully evolved human.

Smiles and laughter are now about sharing and appreciating Love, Unity, Beauty, and Understanding. And this wonderful ability still evolved out of brutally fighting to the death!


When you think about this example, the relentless force of evolution becomes clear, as well as it's purpose - to raise consciousness to higher and more refined levels.

I'm the most highly evolved anything that ever existed.

And I just don't care.

Maybe lower your perspective?

Sexual selection

Hunkier than thou

Scientists are finally succeeding where so many men have failed: in understanding why women find some guys handsome and others hideous

WHEN it comes to partners, men often find women's taste fickle and unfathomable. But ladies may not be entirely to blame. A growing body of research suggests that their preference for certain types of male physiognomy may be swayed by things beyond their conscious control—like prevalence of disease or crime—and in predictable ways.

Masculine features—a big jaw, say, or a prominent brow—tend to reflect physical and behavioural traits, such as strength and aggression. They are also closely linked to physiological ones, like virility and a sturdy immune system.

The obverse of these desirable characteristics looks less appealing. Aggression is fine when directed at external threats, less so when it spills over onto the hearth. Sexual prowess ensures plenty of progeny, but it often goes hand in hand with promiscuity and a tendency to shirk parental duties or leave the mother altogether.

So, whenever a woman has to choose a mate, she must decide whether to place a premium on the hunk's choicer genes or the wimp's love and care. Lisa DeBruine, of the University of Aberdeen, believes that today's women still face this dilemma and that their choices are affected by unconscious factors.

In a paper published earlier this year Dr DeBruine found that women in countries with poor health statistics preferred men with masculine features more than those who lived in healthier societies. Where disease is rife, this seemed to imply, giving birth to healthy offspring trumps having a man stick around long enough to help care for it. In more salubrious climes, therefore, wimps are in with a chance.

Now, though, researchers led by Robert Brooks, of the University of New South Wales, have taken another look at Dr DeBruine's data and arrived at a different conclusion. They present their findings in the Proceedings of the Royal Society. Dr Brooks suggests that it is not health-related factors, but rather competition and violence among men that best explain a woman's penchant for manliness. The more rough-and-tumble the environment, the researcher's argument goes, the more women prefer masculine men, because they are better than the softer types at providing for mothers and their offspring.

Individuals have different inclinations on what is beautiful. Individuals have different beauty standards :-).

Women are amazing. Don't ever question their choices, they're not logical based, but a mystery. lol

I have witnessed the most beautiful women on the planet with the most despicable looking men on the planet.

The typical fireman look. Bald head, bozo hair on the sides, moustache and intense gut hanging over the belt.

But it's got nothing to do with looks, but the energy they project outward. These men understand how it works.

Guys that play guitar.

I suggest you learn.

money.

For women that want a world of hurt yeah. My obsevations (a generalisation fellas, one size does not fit all) show me that men with alot of money tend to think they can buy any woman they want.

My man was broke as a joke when I met him, but he could sing and play guitar ;) also, could fix any broken thing you put in front of him. I stuck with him because he was A) Gorgeous B)Intelligent and C)Compassionate. Now we are pretty well off in comparison and although I don't get paid off with crappy diamonds (you know, to make up for the fact that he's an ass) I do have security, faithfulness, compassion and respect. Oh and everything runs like a well oiled machine around here.

This woman has the right attitude. Wish i had 150 million like you and i'd build a nation state the entire planet would envy.

Eat three pounds of celery and they'll hop on your junk like it was made of diamond studded platinum.

huh?

Women will ask you a question, give you the answer and then tell you you're still fucking wrong!
