What men don't know: Women AREN'T men. Our perspective is different from yours. And, not all women are the same!

Um, I am of the opinion that women may find factors other than the conventionally "attractive" attracitive, like voice timber, cadence, tone, etc, or body presentation over facial, or that smell can be very important; all possible measures of attractiveness to women, from a women's perspective. If you choose to say I'm incorrect, be it. However, I am a woman, and I do say it, so (raspberry)!

Of course you do. Do you also believe people are good at self knowledge let alone really aware of what they do and why? The entire field of psychology routinely shows that to be false. For example, the more attractive somebody is the more likely you are to think their personality is like yours -- even if it's the exact opposite. And this is repeated over and over again in dating simulations where people are asked to evaluate others in terms of personality, or in interpersonal meetings and other tests.

You can either come to acknowledge you're an animal, and your mind plays tricks on you like it does everyone else, or think yourself special. Which would you rather think most likely? I can send you literature reviews or something on attractiveness in mating or relationships if you want, but it's kind of pointless if you don't care to read them with smug certainty you already know better.

Hon, I've got a degree in Biology, so, really, I'm the first to call Homo Sapiens animals. Again, to try your reading comprehension, I was attempting to elucidate the female perspective on male attractiveness for heterosexual adult human males. If you are not interested in my perspective, have a great life, and good bye.

Really? So do you think the "female perspective on the operations of a cell" are important? I'm sorry but individual "perspectives" on the basis of arbitrary things like sex are not exactly useful where research is concerned. Especially when that research is consistent, universal, the same for both sexes, and probably the strongest finding in all of human psychology. There's also plenty of research analyzing individual components of attractiveness, such as symmetry, height, body mass proportions, and it has little to nothing to do with anything you talked about.

You can claim you're a biologist, but you certainly don't think with a scientific mind if you think your opinions matter without evidence.

Sigh. Where did I cite "research"? I was throwing out a perspective which I wished young, heterosexual males would consider. You don't like it - be it. I will flat out admit my opinion to be anecdotal - based upon my own preferences and those l have personally heard from other women, older, contemporaneous, and younger than, myself. And how judgmental of you to remark upon my scientific mindset when I only confirmed that Homo Sapiens Sapiens is an animal.
Final time, bye now. Edit: spelling

Where did I site "research"?

That's the problem.

Already corrected on my own. I am not infallible.

I wasn't talking about the typo. I was talking about the lack of research.

you're wrong about basically everything
