When it comes to physical attraction, men give more importance to the body rather than the face and women give more importance to the face rather than the body.

When it comes to physical attraction, both women and men give more importance to the face than the body.

When it comes to long term relationships, both women and men give a great importance to the facial traits of potential partners.

When it comes to any relationship, wether short term or long term, both women and men give more importance to the facial traits than the body. 

This is one of the reasons why many men stop "gymcelling" after a while. Handsome skinny guys own them every time, so there is no point in continuing.

A usual, people do what they think is attractive to the other sex (i.e what they find attractive) not what is really attractive.

Men focus on body (big muscles) when they should focus on face (grooming, teeth, sleep, diet, alcohol, coffee bodyfat); and women focus on face (make-up, hairstyle) and style (clothes) when they should focus on their body (be thin and toned, that will get you men for sure).

Same for women wanting a career, money, power and not understanding that men don’t care about that in their partners, only women do.

Maybe the same for wearing high heels, as women want taller men. Although high heels actually do make a girl sexier, but mostly for the posture, not the height.

Maybe the same for being nice for men, as men want nice smiling girls (not bitches), but women don’t want nice meek guys (but prefer ‘don’t give a fuck’ dominating guys).

You would have thought evolution would have taught us to be smarter than that and to instinctively know what is attractive. But none of our ancestors had to think about that, I guess healthy development was natural in our prehistoric state.

Having money and/or a career is necessary for basic survival and gaining a comfortable life as a single person. Doesn't have anything to do with what a potential mate, either male or female, cares about.

This is probably true for feminine women, but not for masculine/tomboy ones (which are admittedly much less of the population). Opposites attract, so a masculine man + a masculine woman would be a terrible combination, much like how a feminine man and feminine woman wouldn't last.

Humans are social animals bro, women have only been working voluntarily for like the last 60 years, Before that for the past 5 000 000 years, they were mothers and wives exclusively and men worked so to think that we have evolved to all work as individuals cuz we've been doing it for 60 years is autistic. It's called specialization and it's an economic principle as well as a biological one. If two parties each do the task in which they are most efficient then the group achieves maximum efficiency. Just because we diverted from that in the west in the last 60 years, doesn't mean it's not hardwired into our DNA.

Who on earth lied to you and said women were exclusively homebound wives and mothers until the 1950s? Whoever they were, they're an absolute moron without any knowledge of history or anthropology.

The fact that you had add the word "Homebound" into your recount of what i said, when i clearly didn't say it goes to show how pathetically weak your mind must be. No wonder you place the weight of all of your arguments on the anecdotal one in a historical million recounts such as cleopatra or joan of arc as if they were the rule. Yes no shit not EVERY WOMAN was exclusively a mother or a wife, but most were, including every single one of your clearly semi-brain dead female ancestors. Google what a normal distribution looks like although considering u have a fembrain to go along with your fembody, google what it means aswell, i'm sure there'll be a description somewhere tailored towards a transgendered non binary highschool freshman like yourself.

You were the one who said that women only began voluntarily working in the last 60 years. Homebound just means someone who is unable or unwilling to leave their house. Why are you so triggered by a single word that you immediately resort to insults?

No wonder you place the weight of all of your arguments on the anecdotal one in a historical million recounts such as cleopatra or joan of arc as if they were the rule.

Why on earth are you bringing up such well-known historical figures? Did your history teachers and professors honestly fail you so much that you think it was only women with household names that worked in the past? Did they truly neglect to teach you about the multitudes of female coalminers, medical nurses, washerwomen, wet nurses/child caregivers, farmers, governesses, nuns, and hawkers? Did you never learn about the large amount of midwives, textile workers, seamstresses, musicians, actresses, priestesses, healers, directors, screenwriters, and brewmasters? Did they never mention the hundreds of thousands of women who were maids, indentured servants, or slaves? If so, the blame for your ignorance doesn't necessarily fall on your shoulders, but rather the poor education you received.

Yes no shit not EVERY WOMAN was exclusively a mother or a wife, but most were, including every single one of your clearly semi-brain dead female ancestors.

Actually, the majority of my female (as well as male) ancestors were farmers, tailors, shoemakers, and a few healers. Yes, they were husbands/wives and parents, but being lower class, as most people throughout history have been, means every adult in a household works to put food on the table and wood in the fireplace. It really was only the highest of upperclass women who had any type of leisurely, frivolous lifestyle like you seem to assume the majority of females had. Life for almost all men and women had been, until very recently, incredibly difficult and necessitated long hours of hard labor.

Google what a normal distribution looks like

I'm already well aware, as I'd taken numerous statistic and science courses in high school and college.

although considering u have a fembrain to go along with your fembody, google what it means as well

Actually, like most autistic women, my brain patterns are far closer to that of a male.

i'm sure there'll be a description somewhere tailored towards a transgendered non binary highschool freshman like yourself.

Really not sure where you're pulling this from, other than your ass. I'm a 33 year old autistic woman, not a minor who's still in grade school or a "non-binary" which honestly doesn't exist. There's only two genders and two sexes (although there are people born with genital/chromosomal deformities who are intersex aka hermaphrodites). My being most naturally comfortable in a masculine gender due to my brain type doesn't mean I want to change my body.

[–]SinglehoodVeteran0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Lol. Well, I've never been married or had a boyfriend, but I have been FWB with a very nice guy for the last 10 years. Idk if you count that as being single or not?

If you're serious about continuing our conversation via pm, I'm cool with that. Unless you're being sarcastic? I can't usually tell.

[–]SinglehoodVeteran0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

I didn't know if you really wanted to talk, so I PM'd you.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
