[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is depressing.  I don't think that for men it is just about attraction to beauty, I think there's more at play.  I think it's about status, and for men to have a beautiful girlfriend is a measure of status.  In other words, I don't think it's biological, I think this is mostly societal.

When I was a kid in middle school and high school, the girls were absolutely as obsessed with boys' looks as the boys were about girls - if not more so!  All girls talked about was who was hot and why.  The most popular boys were HOT and had good bodies.

So what changed?  Did biology take over when you graduated and got a bit older?  No. Society kicks in, and by the time you're 18, the message has been stuffed down your throat that male status comes from money/power and women's status is from beauty and youth. This is mostly societally driven, and most evolutionary biology theories are discredited and have little weight.  So men when you say "it's just the way I feel," try to use your brain a little and realize that it goes deeper than that.

Sadly, a lot of you are fathers and seem to think there's nothing wrong with your daughters having no other value than their beauty.  [/quote]

[b]Another sad female effort to tell men what they should want, and to shame them for wanting what they actually want.[/b] Have we mentioned that we don't care? You're like a 5' tall guy trying to convince women they should not be attracted to 6' tall men.

[b]It is not social.[/b] Men are hard-wired for attraction to youth and beauty. The "social" benefit is the result, not the cause - you gain status because you have acquired the biologically valuable resource.

No man here is saying they tell their daughters their only value is their beauty, so get lost with that stupid straw man. [/quote]

Physical attraction is not social and is in fact universal.  It is not determined by culture.  The same men and women who turn heads on Constitution Avenue will turn heads walking through a Yanomamo Indian village or any place else.  It's just the way it is.

As a man, I've always been puzzled that women think they get to decide for us who we should be attracted to and date.  Nonsense.  The only woman who gets a vote is the woman I approach.  The rest of you are irrelevant.  [/quote]
