Lawrence Worrell i agree... i once date an ugly unattractive guy because i was frustrated with my previos boyfriend that was attractive.. and i thought the main problem was he was attractive.. and i thought i need to be like a type of person that can see a person beyond just looks.. because my previos attractive boyfriend (that for me i thought was out of my league) has issues that i thought only attractive people have.. so.. this ugly unattractive guy, he 1st and foremost are sick,, he has kidney disease and his sickness are see through his physical which he looks skinny malnourished and physically smaller than me as an average guy.. and i have a normal average body of a female.. not just that.. he looks like he didnt even care to try to groom himself to make himself presented better.. his clothing always 2 times bigger than his size.. and when talks about clothing sizing he seems like to detest people that wear tight fitting clothes.. he says it looks uncomfortable and didnt like it.. but the problem is.. his clothing are just way bigger than his size.. like he didnt care! and he also has some kind of hatred towards people that take care of their appearance.. he thought he was being a better person by not focusing on appearance but the problem is.. his appearance are just making me want to puke.. he sorta trying to push his idealogies into me aswell probably because he realise that im out of his league and trying to make me think that appearance is not important and just accept him as it is.. i do believe that theres no such thing as ugly people.. just people that didnt take care of their appearance.. i almost falls into his bullshit ideologies.. he keeps saying to me.. "just accept me just aaccept me" asking me to accept him as he is no matter how unattracted i am in his apppearance and have told him many2 times.. the only things that his selling are his attitude.. and he thinks his attitude sells more to compensate his unattractiveness.. the more i spend time with him.. the more i discovered disgustissness in him.. like the way he walks are unattractive.. the way he drive are unattractive.. the way he eats are messy.. just gross me out.. in the end i really have to end it.. and the lesson i learned from that.. i do need to be with a person that i find attractive no matter what.. issues can come in both traits.. either attractive or unattractive.. and theres nothing wrong in that and nothing wrong to have a preferences.. and i am 100persent more than willing to be and deal with attractive ppl with issues than with an unattractive one..

whenever you disagree with the majority on what is an attractive face, 90% of the time, it's because you are trying to defend their personality, of course there are exceptions though when you truly think a face is physically attractive but most people don't agree, but this is rare.

As a testicular cancer survivor, who uses testosterone supplementation, my testosterone level varies from under 200 to over 1500 in a few cases. It had no effect on what I was attracted to. It did affect my morning wood... but also the quality of my sleep, the clarity or foginess of my thinking, whether or not I felt constant dread all the time, whether or not I had night sweats. So at the least.. I'm a counter example. I suspect height and income are more important than testosterone levels.

@imzjustplayin

4 жыл бұрын

"had no effect on what I was attracted to" That's subjective and this study specifically shows that it does have an effect, subconsciously or not. They were showing small differences in people's appearance and the preference people had when subjected to different T levels and it shows their biases depending on hormone level. You probably just didn't notice and or were not specifically looking/dating and being subjected to different faces, picking out which ones you preferred.

For people strongly emotionally effected by this: Cindy Crawford, Ryan Gosling and Marilyn Monroe are all people with strong asymatry, called by some the most attractive people in the world. Hope you have a great day!

I disagree with the symmetrical vs asymmetrical shape. Asymmetrical shaped people (if limited to face cuts only) do look very attractive and even surpass most symmetrical face cuts in attractiveness.

It's may also be because some of what she's saying is just plain wrong and supported by studies that have since been disproven, while others are right. And perhaps we kind of feel that it IS wrong because we know with ourselves that these aren't the only criteria we choose by. It seems like humans struggle to understand our own brains. And particularily our own behavior. There are lots of different forms of life, and attractiveness in humans may not be as 1-10 as this kind of presentation makes it out to be. Different people have different criteria and have you ever tried ranking people genuinely? You'll eventually get to the point where instead of thinking "this one is a 9 and this one is a 10" you think "these are both pretty solid.. but they're good in different ways". That's where this sort of theory kind of falls flat. And as humans we're meant to be this way. We have a far more successful rate of survival by having lots of different people who can overcome different obstacles and work together. Our cooperation is one of the largest factors in the human race both surviving and becoming as dominant as we have. And this sort of "science" kind of reduces that fact to a scale, which I think may be a bit of an oversimplification of the matter.

@guppy2686

Most people just have a hard time with the fact we're not really in control of our behaviour. In addition evolutionary science directly refutes most of the popular ideas going round the social sciences nowadays.

a lot of hurt feelings in the comment section, because reality doesn't agree with their preconceived notions of people being blank slates, and because of lack of understanding of statistics. just because you know a tall woman that dwarfs men doesn't mean that women are no longer ON AVERAGE shorter than men. just because our hard wiring has influence on our behavior doesn't mean it's the determining factor, but just the envioronment isn't determining as well. it's an interplay of both. sigh.

It's both frightening and fascination the extent these hormones dictate so many aspects of our personality, even the effects are more dramatic only if you're on any far end of the spectrum. It's already been mentioned by others but I would be interested to know how this applies to homosexual and bisexual. Would higher testo levels make men attracted to other men with more typical masculine characteristics? Or is it the complete opposite? After all, and I realize that this is just a stereotype so I have no idea if this is true at all, but the gay community seems to consist of tops and bottoms, and it would make more sense if the "tops" so to speak had higher levels of testosterone, but that would also suggest they wouldn't necessarily be attracted to more feminine bottoms? Would also be interesting to know more about the relationship between testosterone and depression. Is there a correlation?

Please don't do that. It would cause every living person to die if the world came to an abrupt halt. People wouldn't even die from the impact of flying into things, they'd probably die from the g-force first. I think if someone made an example simulation of what it would look like it would be very interesting: I think seeing what would happen to the bodies of water would be the strangest. It could be possible that the water would be travelling fast enough (compared to the still Earth) that it would fly into space, creating a stranger whirlpool of water floating away from the Earth. I think it would also be just as interesting to see what would happen if the world slowed down over time, meaning that we would see the effects of the Earth being still on the environmental side (rather than everything being sweeped of the surface of Earth and into space) of things with people there to interact with the new environment. Honestly that's a great novel idea, there is a lot of research that would need to be done to write it. What would happen to the weather? Could it rain? Would there be tides? And if there were would it only be in the part of the Earth that is dark? Would the ozone layer still stay and have a breathable atmosphere? Would everyone die anyway? Or would it still be habitable? OR, would the Earth stop spinning AND stop moving (around the sun) OR just stop spinning OR just stop moving? Cause if it stopped moving that would mean it wouldn't be in orbit and would be gravitated into the sun and we'd definitely all die. BUT, if it just stopped spinning would it still be habitable? Or would everything die due to the new weathers and season cycles and eventually (over many thousands of years) adapt and life would start spreading again? Would the seasons be the same but there was no night and day? In fact, wouldn't certain parts never be bright or always be bright (the north and south poles) cause the Earth is on an axis and the north pole isn't lined up with the north of the sun and the south pole isn't' lined up with the south of the sun? Would there be months when it's always sunny and months when it's always dark in many places? Also due to the changed weather patterns would there be extreme weather or no weather? I have more questions but no one is going to read all that junk above this but a couple people might read this little bit at the end.

It doesn't mean it's all in our minds, it means when you win, your body gives you a dose of testosterone. Can't be a winner all the time just like you can't be pleasure seeking all the time either which would give you a dopamine kick as well.

**quiet suffering**

I'M TRIGGERED

So the date / person clicking is often a case of coinciding testosterone peaks when you are emotionally open to pursuing a relationship ?!?! This means you need an app on your smartphone that somehow measures your key hormones and tells you what your present hormonal profile is and that you should adjust your dating / mating decisions accordingly in order to minimise interference in decision making from hormones ... I guess...? On some reflection the bit about preferring attractive people seems anecdotally true - often you feel just that very slight bit better in the presence of an attractive person and that predisposes you to behave well with them or treat them preferentially. It's almost the same effect as if attractive people invisibly shooting "you love me" hypnosis rays into their surroundings all the time...

Really poorly reasoned. People with these traits report better immunity, therefore that reported immunity is caused by genetics?

There is zero evidence given that the cause of reported increased immunity.

@cg675

4 жыл бұрын

@@silviafox78 The two troubling key words I notice in that definition are "traditionally associated." it adds a bit of wiggle room, an "eye of the beholder" effect to the definition when I feel a published dictionary should word it more concretely. For instance, it sounds like, through your eyes, you see the topic of aggression only at its extreme, as in someone who can just put their fist through a wall when upset. Yeah, someone like that wouldn't want to be around kids and probably shouldn't be. The thing is aggression is not a mood or emotion, it's a measuring scale for the degree of intensity behind an action. Like negotiating aggressively. That doesn't mean you hate the person across from you at the business table and want to get violent. Let's take aggressiveness in playtime with your children. A Father might take their kid by one arm and leg, helicopter spin them, and throw them into a pool. It's a truly aggressive act, but not a damaging one. Odds are you'll just end up with a dad and a kid next to each other laughing their heads off afterwards. When it comes to attentiveness and nurturing, women and men are about the same when it comes to children. It just comes in different flavors between the two. Women tend to focus on protection and preservation, men tend to focus imparting and strengthening. All of it important. Another case of aggressiveness, one sibling shoves another and that one starts to cry. A father would step in at that time and lay it out, that was too much power used, so the kid learns to dial back at play and apologize. Pushing for the apology imparts humility and empathy, keeping in mind how you effect others and especially how that can mean a penalty on you. So, as a man, I get where Jess Rob is coming from. I hear that line in the presentation and it strikes that chord inside of "Ummm No. That's not a masculine man." That's the stereotype of a hyper macho manly man. I'm pretty sure that's what she's nodding to since she immediately follows that up describing guys who go out and sleep with as many girls as possible. Yeah, those types don't care about children. Pick up artist aren't going to commit to anyone. Last, you notice the word that came to mind there, "stereotype". And that loops us right back to "Traditionally associated". Putting so much weight on what a lot of people happen to think versus what something actually is.

​@@cg675 - ag·gres·sive adjective 1. ready or likely to attack or confront; characterized by or resulting from aggression. 2. pursuing one's aims and interests forcefully, sometimes unduly so.

However take that same situation but use an actually aggressive man who throws their kid into a pool as a personal attack or maybe enforced punishment and you'll have aggressive behavior.

It tells you that from within the most beautiful and handsome that is feminine and masculinity as visually most important base on your hormones, but it is inside that count that most and you work hard against to your natural programming and adjust your hormones after all, hormones affect behavior, so it is not natural as automatically, it is about work that we must do to feel attract forever to friends, babies, anything, so behavior is the dominance over hormones, that is why there is problem because they rely hormones more than work there are divorce, ignoring friends, etc, this is good proof that we must work unlike animals are in control of themselves thru hormones, we are in control of ourselves thru our work that beat the hormones to success. So, it is not natural, but nurture that we pick behavior that is new which it becomes learns and keep what we learn, not lost what we learn, because we can unlearn the negative by action or un-except unlearn the positive by action or non-action so it becomes negative, like divorce, not interest in friends, etc, so best to keep it. So, it depends by action, positive or negative. So, it is good title that will help to understand love and to change from hate to love, or non-love to love, well, to range of positive that is like to love. So, those hormones do affect transmitter in our brains that is positive and negative. It is good that is need for people that are in jail and people that are mean in jail, that is guards or visual stuff in jail like bathroom in open, and other stuff. So, all is connect, not separate as one issue, but other issues. One issue that is attract to beauty, but attract to right and wrong by our action.
