Huh, interesting. I thought for certain that a man touting absolute biological reductionism in what defines "attractive" for a woman would be aware that there are a number of human universals in what constitutes an attractive face, such as symmetry and youthful proportions.BigTuk said:Define: 'attractive'Ariseishirou said:Yes, I said that women like attractive faces and a variety of body types because that's the socially acceptable answer. Not because women like attractive faces and a variety of body types. *epic facepalm*BigTuk said:That's a hard question to answer, mostly because women will rarely give straight answers due to the whole social acceptability bias. She will usually give the 'proper' answer.
--biological reductionism ad absurdum, evo psych woo woo, nature uber alles, what is society?!?--
Attractive is a subjective term and what one finds attractive can shift just about as readily as what one considers to be tasty or relaxing. It's based on mood. I'd also look up 'Social Acceptability Bias' so you understand the term.
Ask 100 people if they think stealing is wrong.. 80 will say yes. Leave these same people in a room for a moment unattended with a $20 bill on the ground and couple cookies in a jar and in 60-70 of the time you will find either one or more cookies and /or that $20 missing.
SAB pretty much demonstrates the discontinuity between what a person says and how they act, and it's tendency to steer towards answering within socially acceptable norms of ones peer-groups or superiors. What people say and do around strangers is different that what they'd say or do alone.
Or should I not be surprised, because that indicates that women are primarily interested in the health/virility of a partner (just as men are interested in the health/fertility of their partner) as opposed to the "protector/provider" narrative you're shilling here.
Seems you have some reading to do, comrade!
