Are women more beautiful than men

[zoobyshoe]

In regards to your earlier quote then, why would people be into amputees, or extremely tall or built women? What makes obese different?

What I said about why obese women might be attractive to someone was pure speculation. I was just throwing out the most logical sounding idea that occurred to me.

In general, I can't understand any guy who has a loyalty to a "type". Do guys really exist who will only be turned on by blondes? I've heard stories, but I don't understand it.

Here's one possible explanation. A couple/three months ago someone told me the story of a guy who, when he was a kid, had to reach out from his bed and hold his bedroom door closed with one hand while he was entertaining himself with the other to prevent anyone from barging in on him. Later, when he found real girlfriends, it turned out he had so conditioned himself, that he couldn't climax without having his hand on a doorknob. I have no idea if that story is true, or if it's a new urban legend, but it's an interesting story.

seriously, my head wants to explode... I'm sooooo... is there an other word for confused... cause I've said confused a lot...

i'm like... fat... some people like that? some guys hit on me... am i hot? i want to be thin... i think... would that make me more or less hot? i thought more... what do i actually even look like? i have nooo idea! i can't tell what's hot, what's not. what am i sposed to change and what stays? gah... i still can't believe i might even possibly be attractive as is... it doesn't make sense... seriously! guh!

Makes sense.

Its usually not only blondes, but blondes have an advantage. It's like preferring Dell's to HP's. An HP can still be a kick-ass copmuter, but you would get the Dell because you like Dell more (or something like that).

It could be true, but that's more of a psychological conditioning problem rather than a sexual preference. 'Why we have a preference' is a different story than 'do we have a preference'.

Relax. Those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

Actually, across cultures, it turns out that the size of a woman is not as important as the hip to waist ratio. Another measure of beauty is symmetry - an indicator of good breeding. A clear complexion and other indicators of good health are generally considered to be attractive features. In fact, in the end it seems that it's all about making babies. At least according to one study, it turns out that universally, men most prefer a hip to waist ratio of 7/9 I think, which also happens to have the highest success rate in childbirth. So at least in one sense it seems our instincts for beauty are really flags for reproductive viability.

The same is true for women. They tend to prefer little grey guys with big heads, black, almond shaped eyes, and like Evo said, long fingers with little suctions cups on the ends.

So why are sunsets beautiful? Also, I dated women who appeared to be very attractive at first, but not so after getting to know them. So how does inner beauty differ from the initial attraction of biological beauty? And how can they reverse roles in such a real sense?

 

[zoobyshoe]

i'm like... fat... some people like that? some guys hit on me... am i hot?

Yes, you're hot. Unhot women don't get hit on.

i want to be thin... i think... would that make me more or less hot?

You'd probably be about the same. You might attract a different bunch of guys though.

i thought more... what do i actually even look like?

No one really knows what they look like, because what you look like changes depending on who's looking at you.

i still can't believe i might even possibly be attractive as is... it doesn't make sense... seriously! guh!

Now, that's just crazy talk. Anyway, I think the problem is that you're just obsessing too much about it right now.

well, i used to think i was hit on as a joke... you know how people can be cruel and stuff right? my family always insisted i was pretty ugly growing up. my sisters were especially mean. my father was too. i have riddiculously gorgeous friends... I'm a bit insecure...

i'm going to go eat a sandwhich now...

This misinformation is diametrically opposed to serious research by reputable labs that have continually discovered a female preference for males with height in excess of eight feet, profuse, thick body hair, sloping brow, and prodigiously large feet.

 

[cronxeh]

ROFL

wow Gale that one last line just made me laugh out loud at 4 am.. wow thanks

you are a gorgeous specimen i don't see a problem with hitting on you (as a matter of fact i was a few hours ago )

 

[dextercioby]

You too??

Gale,are you double-crossing me?

Daniel.

 

[cronxeh]

pfft.. whos this loser ^^

 

[zoobyshoe]

Well, with sisters and father like that, no wonder you're insecure. They were just plain mean.

Every guy here thinks Pillowhead is hot. Huckleberry, who is fond of claiming looks don't matter, just about drowned in his own drool when he saw pillowhead, and you are generally adored, which I can tell from the attention you get from the guys here. I bet there's tons of guys there and at college who think you're hot. I don't think that, outside your family, there's anything to worry about.

That's only when they're really young...and WWF groupies. Soon they learn to appreciate the whole mind control, take you in the middle of the night, you are under my control thing.

Yup. Uh huh. I have a thing for a good hip to waist ratio, yep.

These make perfect sense.

No one has mentioned vivaciousness. Really "alive" seeming, snappy-witted, energetic, enthusiastic women are very attractive to me.

That may just be because that is the natural "opposite" to my general demeanor in real life: contemplative, slow thinking, and hard to start.

Is no one else attracted to the vivacious and scintillating, enthusiastic woman? There is no body type or hair color for this, it's an emotional dynamic that I find really appealing.

 

[Huckleberry]

I'm confused... i really don't get it at all... i don't understand... fat girls... appealing? bah... nope.. don't see it. to me, if a girl is fat, she has to work on other things so that people don't mind she's fat. no one wants her to be fat in the first place.

This is not really true. This is just a stereotype. The social definition of attractiveness is different from one culture to the next and from one period of time to another. If a guy considers a woman attractive based on the social definition then he probably is considering his own social image. There are plenty of guys that like all shapes and sizes of women.

These super skinny, model lookin' girls are not always healthy. Some have very serious physical and mental disorders. Because a woman is beautiful to social standards does not make her life any easier, or her worries about her appearance any less. If you really want to impress a guy, just be yourself. You're amazing.

Hey, I don't remember saying looks don't matter. I just think their importance fades quickly. But how can Pillow Head not be hot? Who else would do such a thing?

 

[Jimmy Snyder]

In my eyes, women are better looking than men. My father felt the same way and his father before him. Indeed, hundreds of millions of years of evolution went into that answer. My wife is the best looking one of all.

And she reads over your shoulder, doesn't she?

 

[TheStatutoryApe]

Gale you're definitely very attractive. I'm actually one of those guys that tends to not like girls that are very skinny. Ofcourse I'm open minded to just about anybody type on a woman there are just certain things that tend to catch my eye.

Also, what kinds of guys hit on your "hot" friends? Do they tend to be the kind of guy you would want to date or do they tend to turn out to be jerks? Occasionally I think that it would be nice to be better looking, or more like the steriotypical "hot guy", but when I think about it I realize that most of the girls that would find them selves attracted to me I won't be attracted to. I think that as is I tend to attract more women that are my type than not.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Hey, I don't remember saying looks don't matter. I just think their importance fades quickly. But how can Pillow Head not be hot?

She can't. Pillowhead is the new PF definition of hot. Even a math crackpot who can't add two single digit numbers in his head can understand The Pillowhead Equation:

Pillowhead = Hot

I hope you really meant a waist/hip ratio there, otherwise that's a pretty apple-shaped woman there!

Hmm...will 0.7 do? (Yeah, I just had to grab a tape measure and find out. )

Gale, you have nothing to stress about. Guys all over the place here are panting over you! You are very attractive. You just need to hang out with Italian grandmothers who will reinforce the notion over and over again that men like a woman with a little meat on her bones! Eat! Eat!

 

[Evo]

I've found that most women I know think men look better with clothes on than without.

A "hot guy" to me is an average, out of shape guy, love handles and a "pooch" are cute too (not the beer gut hanging over the belt ) and wears glasses.

Gale, you're absolutely ADORABLE! Listen to what everyone tells you.

 

[Loren Booda]

I used to place women on a pedestal, like many men do, as if they were by nature more ethical and considerate than men. (#2 tries harder.)

 

[SamuelGreen800]

I think that women are often held to much higher standards than men are when it comes to attractiveness, and as such, many women take better care of their bodies than do men. Of course, then you get the flip side of unhealthy diets and rake thin girls. The obsession with the perfect body is crazy in America, especially among teenage girls, or so it would seem.

Either way, as has been said, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

 

[Ivan Seeking]

I hope you really meant a waist/hip ratio there, otherwise that's a pretty apple-shaped woman there!

I noticed that later. Yes, that would be the waist to hip ratio.

Here is one for the what was it thread: 36-24-36

 

[SOS2008]

Men are yummy. Uh, did I say that out loud?

 

[Ivan Seeking]

We don't know but you typed it out loud.

Yummy?

 

[honestrosewater]

That would be Barbie's measurements?

 

[SOS2008]

Yummy?

As in mmmmmm...er, did I type that out loud?

 

[Ivan Seeking]

That would be Barbie's measurements?

in millimeters?

But you may be right in a way... Those were the well known measurements of Rachael Welch. But I think Barbie was modeled after someone famous such as Norma Jeane Mortensen, who had the same or similar measurements.
