Or listen to them talk honestly about their lives. Or even think about it from a slightly more serious evo-psych standpoint; a woman's standing among the other women of the tribe had a lot bigger impact on the chance of her children to survive and breed in an age of vast infant mortality than having the flashiest father.<br /><br />Look at high fashion and tell me it's designed to attract males. Women in general don't dress/exercise/preen for men any more than men usually do for women.<br /><br />There are exceptions; a woman at a club. Or a woman angling for a coworker might dress for men. But you may have noticed all the other women notice and gossip about her change of style. If she dresses to attract men all the time, she'll be thought a slut, though those outfits may show no more skin than the fashionable ones.EgregiousCharlesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-53426585046876085242013-09-23T13:18:26.706-07:002013-09-23T13:18:26.706-07:00Wtf are you on about?

Men want to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger or John Cena, women want men who look like Johnny Depp or Orlando Bloom.EgregiousCharlesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-87664003281923293452013-09-23T05:17:26.145-07:002013-09-23T05:17:26.145-07:00Men do not determine what is beautiful in women. ...Men do not determine what is beautiful in women. Men only determine what they find attractive in women, which women do not care about nearly as much as they care about impressing other women. Women have a pecking order determined largely by looks, in general their standards are different (and much harsher) than anyone but the unluckiest men. Women dress, style, and diet in competition with other women, not for men, but for their place among women.<br /><br />To the extend that men determine beauty in women, it's gay men in the fashion industry who aren't attracted to women in the first place.<br /><br />Men who have the same standards as women are the unluckiest men, because they are only attracted to the most entitled women, who are most sought after. It's like being a black man in old South Africa only attracted to white women; chances aren't good. It's a curse; if you have it you can't just decide you like curvy women now and make it work.EgregiousCharlesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-89081874848135974262013-09-22T17:45:29.938-07:002013-09-22T17:45:29.938-07:00"Curvy does not equal fat; please stop using ..."Curvy does not equal fat; please stop using it that way."<br /><br />This. <br /><br />Now, my standards about what I find attractive in women are fairly lax when it comes to weight. But if you want to call yourself "curvy", some of those curves should be concave. Otherwise, you're fat.Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389602137217799305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-82894347128106080812013-09-22T14:35:34.069-07:002013-09-22T14:35:34.069-07:00I'll admit that I do love when women show off ...I'll admit that I do love when women show off their hideous new bowl haircut or equally unattractive fashion choice on facebook to the chorus of enabling 'beautiful's from other walruses in the flock. Always gives me pause. A 38-year old blond woman of Irish descent should never have the same haircut as a 7-year old Chinese boy.
