Sex Differences in the Desire for Physical Attractiveness. Wrong Interpretation: Men just care about looks, women about other stuff. Right Interpretation: Both sexes care a fair amount about looks, but on average men somewhat more.

SIGNALS MATTER AS WELLErik LukovskyIs it possible men care more on average because they just don’t think women have much more to offer other than looks?

High status males often select for intelligent women too, but not too many exist so men just give up lookingSep 20, 2018, 8:40 AMAnjin Bodhisattva🙄Sep 20, 2018, 8:52 AMAnjin BodhisattvaMaybe intelligent women are looking for intelligent men?Sep 20, 2018, 8:53 AMMartin ŠtěpánAnjin Bodhisattva Yep. Not necessarily because of it but because intelligent men are much more likely to attain higher status.Sep 20, 2018, 9:08 AMErik LukovskyIf you want intelligent offspring, she has to at least be 115 or 120 IQ because of regression to the meanSep 20, 2018, 12:37 PMErik LukovskyI would love to see where that’s the case

I’m not saying you’re wrong, but the stereotype of the ” stupid hot blonde bimbo ” is a stereotype for a reason

Because it’s somewhat true

Very pretty women have no reason to be immersed in subjects that matter

That’s why usually a modest intelligent one seems biologically like a better catchSep 20, 2018, 12:49 PMErik LukovskyIf you look at all the smartest women alive(biologists, geneticists, inventors, or businesswomen) hardly any of them pass as supermodels

If you look at the women most men crave physically(actresses and celebrities) then they are almost never above average IQ at bestSep 20, 2018, 12:51 PMWilliam J MullenSurveys on what people find attractive are useless, there are many motivations in play regarding their answers and truth isn’t very high on the list. Empiricism fails here due to an inability to measure the variables, thus we must turn to heuristics. This “data” is uncompelling to me, I still see looks as preeminent among male preference. Looks are preeminent among YOUNG female preference, fading in importance as they age when status then resources begin to play a larger role.Sep 20, 2018, 12:55 PMAnjin BodhisattvaConservative women do tend to be more attractive than liberals though 😉Sep 20, 2018, 12:58 PMWilliam J MullenPersonally, through experience I’ve learned that NOTHING trumps or replaces looks, the other stuff can only ENHANCE a woman who meets my physical standard. Without the physical lust, there is no “relationship”, just friendship.Sep 20, 2018, 1:46 PMWilliam J MullenOn the flip side, being very physically attractive but low in status (I have resources but typically hide this fact), I can’t help but notice that my attractiveness to women is reduced the older they are. Women 30’s+ don’t find me attractive whatsoever, with my baggage (3 kids) and appearance of low resources, whereas I can basically get any teenager I want.Sep 20, 2018, 1:49 PMErik LukovskyA few women being accomplished doesn’t change the general ruleSep 20, 2018, 1:56 PMErik LukovskyLook at Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Beyoncé, the list goes on and onSep 20, 2018, 1:58 PMErik LukovskyWell I said actresses and celebrities and yes, trust me, they do

Most men think Scarlett Johannson is a 10Sep 20, 2018, 2:24 PMWilliam J MullenWomen to me offer nothing beyond their looks and ability to satisfy my sexual urges. They won’t be as smart, and the smarter they are the more prone they are to 1) arguing with me, and 2) getting butthurt when they lose those arguments. What matters most is subject matter interest… if they are interested in those things on which I am superior (which, face it, is everything since I’m a 48yo genius with incredible and unusual experience, and they are typically much younger and know nothing beyond their childhood home, some dumb university classes, and a Sex & the City career lifestyle) then we can get along, as we enjoy conversations where they mostly learn from me and entertain me with their own anecdotes.Sep 20, 2018, 2:26 PMWilliam J MullenThe hottest women are models; Hollywood has hardly any truly beautiful women, by my standard. I firmly believe that I could walk into any high school in America and walk out with 10 girls hotter than ScoJo, for example. There is Gadot today, there used to be Angelina… everyone else just seems to top out at around an 8, if you ask me.Sep 20, 2018, 2:27 PMWilliam J MullenI already have 3 kids, though, so I don’t have to worry about progeny. I do think Erik’s metric of intellect in a potential mother makes a lot of sense.Sep 20, 2018, 2:30 PMWilliam J MullenMeaning you don’t want to believe it, so it’s easier to think I’m just talking out my ear. Sure, believe what you like, it’s of no matter to me. Just offering my personal perspective.Sep 20, 2018, 2:38 PMWilliam J MullenI know I can, and it doesn’t cause me to exclude my children in any way. Your insults are predictable and banal… social shaming on emotional grounds. I’m never sure why my opinions and actions offend people in this regard, but fortunately I don’t really care about the opinions of the hoi polloi (just as I care little about the opinions of dogs).Sep 20, 2018, 2:45 PMWilliam J MullenSpeaking of Lohan, she once hit on me at a movie premier party. But I turned her down because she was chubby and gross at the time.Sep 20, 2018, 2:49 PMCarl EluMen want a pleasant woman that is not dumb. All extra IQ points over “not dumb” suffers from sharply diminishing returns.Sep 20, 2018, 4:58 PMMEN JUST CARE MORE – BUT NOT A LOT MORE
