Title: Attraction in relation to appearance
Post by: NLJB on 24/09/2005 00:11:22
What makes people attracted to other people based on appearence? How does a person determine what is attractive: hormones, culture, pheremones or a combination. Just an interesting topic...

Brief answer.

Culture most certainly plays a big big part in what you determine is attractive, at the same time there is an inherent instinct that is also at work…a primitive knowledge that acts as a guide for what is pretty and what is ugly, good…bad….healthy…unhealthy !!...it is part of our primitive make-up that assists us…..the reason ?.. I suspect it’s procreation !

The differences other cultures have in what they deem attractive are many and varied…..some cultures (particularly isolated ones) prefer, what we would consider, completely unattractive physical appearance …and likewise too…….. I’m sure you’ve seen the pictures and documentaries of the physical attributes

But, you’re getting at the heart of the matter and certainly there are many aspects of ‘ attraction’ which are universal .

And there are other forms of attraction too of course, intelligence, personality…but you know that already,

 But I suppose the really really short answer is that Physical  Attractiveness is what you subjectively perceive to be pleasing to the eye based on what you consider to be physically pleasing...based on variables such as culture and instinct.


I suppose alternative questions may also be asked of taste and smell eh ?
So, you gonna post a piccy now ????...Yayyyy !!

Also symmetry or more specifically asymmetry of the face and body proportions based on the golden ratio is important.. The more distorted the proportions are from the norm the more "ugly" someone is seen to be. Anything else is down to personal preference which is going to be specific to the social development of each individual. I don’t think it’s at all hard wired in, like preferring a certain hair colour etc. I bet that’s probably driven by the media now…

I would argue that attraction is in the eye of the beholder....
 
And as a result it's down to each individual....

However when you look at the past- in roman times fat women were considered atractive.....

This is because it is claimed- that fat women could only be fat if they ate a lot and were therefore rich.....

So people found wealth attractive or symbols of wealth attractive.....

As today with plastic surgery.... Thin people are generally considered atractive... and they are also generally rich as they pay for it!

I would argue that the rich have the money to force opinion in their direction....

Or others who want to be rich push that opinion...

But really it is down to the individual what they find attractive....

There are again problems with people who through mental illness or social exclusion........

Homosexualality an example of social exclusion can lead people who avoid their true feelings to lead a life celibacy like kennith williams...

There are of course other examples where you open a magazine and dont find any of the women atractive- err Benny hill in 'the italian job' finds fat women attractive.... who knows why?

Really I find, as many of my friends do- almost all women attractive... black, white, fat, thin, tall, short... There female.lol

But I need more than just psyical attraction...

I dont know that there is a set or standard rule when it comes to what people like. It is in the end down to them.....

With regards to metal health some people find the dead attractive... or rings... or sheep... or trees... there was this guy in the paper who used to play with his car down the woods.lol
But these really are a simptoms of some mental health problem.... maybe brain damage or the kid was raised by sheep who knows...lol
Its not till you talk to them about why they find that stuff attractive you can being to understand where it comes from.

So really it is down to you, dont rely on mags you need to think for yourself, and follow your own feelings. I mean if you find someone attractive and all your friends think she is ugly....
What you gonna do? Do you live for them or yourself?       

Sadly many people will reject the person they like due to- social presures.
The Earl that wont marry his maid... Or the politician that wont come out the closit.... or the guy who wont go out with her coz she's poor.... or comes from a bad family... or she not jewish or muslim, or christian etc etc.... sad really!   

to repeat- So people found wealth attractive or symbols of wealth attractive..... In this situation if someone go's for a symbol then what are they really going for- certainly not the person... and eventually that relationship will fall apart!

I suppose what I'm getting at there is that if you allow the concerns of others to affect your decision about who you are with... then really the person you end up with is not the person you really want to be with.

Sadly in todays world its all about image, and not feelings! If you put others opinions before yourself when it comes to love, your going now where but to a place of either sadness or a little not that happy contentment- an its my lot attitude- its not great but I can live with it!
Why settle for that- Live for yourself and go find someone you like! and can actually be happy with!

As an extencion:- I have really only covered the social and psycological area of attraction:

But obviously feramones, and body shape are important- you know the genitic area of attraction-

I think feramones realeased give off indicators of immune system strenght- cant remember where I heard that!

A Six pack relates to verility cant remember how though!

Hips in girls relates to sutibility for carring children!

Errm but really they are add-ons to what draws you to the person in the first place-
Not the starting point afterall you dont smell the person till your up close and you normally see a guys six pack under his shirt-
Men normally see the face first, well depends on the man.lol
Who knows dont forget the spritual side of attraction!

I don't think a six pack has anything to do with attraction. Personally I find them disgusting!

Women look for men with broad shoulders a sign of protection and a strong hunter. Men on the other hand to look for wider hips, as this means that birthing a child will be easier.

That is the basic caveman attraction guideline. Of course now, there are many more social stigmas with attraction. And because of this it makes it hard to distinguish what people are attracted to.

Actually no, a textbook written by a woman did. It is the same logic behind men looking for a woman who can bear him lots of children, and have ease doing it (ie. broad hips)

And again back to the six packs. If we are discussing what women inherently find attractive, a six pack is not one of them. Even by saying your self that some women like them negates your point that they are important to attractiveness.

What I am speaking of is not a conscience decision as to what we find attractive!!! It is simply something that is ingrained in us.

We don't sit on a patio somewhere watching hotties walk by saying "oooh look at the shoulders on that one, I bet he could kill me a boar and build me a rockin' shelter."

And men, well I think, don't sit on that same patio watching the ladies saying, Wow!! Those are some child rearing hips.

It's a Darwinian sort of thing. Of course with all evolution comes an evolution in ideals. Studies have shown that younger women (20-40) prefer a more feminine physique on a man, while older women (40+) prefer a more rugged manly look (broad shoulders, strong jaw).

Call me crazy but I would take George Clooney over Brad Pitt any day!!

My friends and I were discussing this yesterday. A friend of ours, a lesbian, introduced one of us to her new girlfriend. And this new girlfriend looked very masculine. Excuse my crudeness but she was butch. This raised the question, why be a lesbian if you are still attracted to a masculine physique?

It depends upon what you regard as 'healthy and strong'.  Social status is as much a relevant attractant as physiological health (rich men and politicians have no trouble finding someone to sleep with, no matter what their health situation - although it might be argued that physical health might also contribute to the development of social status, but there is not an exact correlation).

Well you might consider yourself to be a simple game theory, gene robot, who is clearly programmed to find centain things attractive!

I do not consider that to be a reality!

You are free to find anything attractive, and while there are certainly genetic areas for attraction, personality, social constructs, beer, and many other things contribute!

At the end of the day you could like someone who go's against all your genetic belifs- Look at Danny Devito the guys a stud!

Not sure where this information comes from.  He seems to have only been married once (and still married), and does not seem (as far as I can ascertain) to have had a long list of girlfriends.

That having been said, I am sure that is his choice, rather than a choice forced upon him; since I am sure he has more than enough money and status to be able to attract as many girls as he chooses.

DeVito is married to actress Rhea Perlman, with whom he has three children. I think, he may actually love the woman!
Money and status are one thing, but he does not need them to attract women, if he has already found "the one".

i think you just have to follow your intuition when you are looking for someone. whether we know it or not, we all know what we want!

I go for looks, i don't care about personality or intellect. As long as she stands out in the crowd that's fine by me. Well, until she starts trying to get me to watch soap opera's!!! then it's time to move on.

A friend of ours, a lesbian, introduced one of us to her new girlfriend. And this new girlfriend looked very masculine. Excuse my crudeness but she was butch. This raised the question, why be a lesbian if you are still attracted to a masculine physique?

What is meant in this case by saying she is a lesbian?

Do you mean that she was generally attracted to women, or that she was in this case attracted to this woman?

Was she maybe bi?

Alternatively, did she have a problem with men in some other way - liked someone who looked a bit masculine, but could not get on with men is some way other than appearance?

This, to be honest, given what you said about food and visual appeal, does not surprise me at all.  You are clearly strongly affected by visual appeal.

There is only one aspect of visual appeal that realy has a significant impact on me and that is rithym - this applies also to rithym of voice, but also to rithym of movement.

But, to be fair, I find that the things that attract me to a woman when I first meet her will bore me by the time I get to know her - by then, I had better be able to find something more to hold my interest.

I also sometimes am actually wary of girls who are too attractive - I often take the view that if they are that good looking they have never really had to work at a relationship, or at much else, because they will just have men falling over themselves to do everything for her.  That kind of woman really is someone I would rather stay away from.

Too a tee, to such an extent that last year i redecorated my lounge 5 times. Not that it was grotty, i just did not like it once it was finished.


But, to be fair, I find that the things that attract me to a woman when I first meet her will bore me by the time I get to know her - by then, I had better be able to find something more to hold my interest.


This is true, when looks are important.

There is a fine line there, i think those that are too attractive have more invested in themselves to realy need anyone else. There are also the most shallow, and ones you get bored with quicker.

For the most part attraction for me comes in different stages and areas not really on looks at all. Yes eyes are nice faces are all nice but build has nothing to do with it for me.. I want to know what comes from the heart and when I talk with someone if I do not feel that then I know that I could never be attracted to someone who did not firstly have a good heart!

Now I think it should all be done.. OK..
Title: Attraction in relation to appearance

Pretty.
Sexy.
S-line body.

Yes.. That is good.. Yes yes..

But Karen, when you are first meeting someone, or in the first few day or weeks of a relationship you are always on your best behaviour. Say and do the right things, pit the toilet seat down.....

It's only later that the real person shows, unless they are a complete buffoon and act like it from day 1.
Title: Attraction in relation to appearance
Post by: Seany on 12/05/2007 15:52:03
Actually... Well I guess that the appearence is good for the first time attraction. If your beautiful, then people would be more attracted to you, until they realise the true you, with personality.. If your personality is good, they will stay. If it is bad, they will go away.

So appearence only attracts someone first time, then it is the personality which takes over. Appearence is only for a short-time period, and personality and other features are a long-time..

I know people are different after you get to know them that is what I like about meeting people we are all like that! LOL It's great!

I agree with George, what most people deem perfect can never be. But what is perfect for one is not perfect for another.. I know for me I know what my perfect fit is not to describe it or anything like that, It is how I feel with that persons presence their sense of self and others.. I cannot explain it.I want to make someone else feel as good as they make me feel and I think when two people can do that for each other and really enjoy the give and take of that then it can be incredible and totally fulfilling and wonderful!

I totally dis-agree with this type of behaviour! Why hide who you are that can only lead to problems later on...

Surely it is better to be honest and not lie.. I know its hard, and I know you dont own a jag, but seriously why lie when they find out it will always cause problems and shows a certain amount of insecurity!
People should be happy with themselves and not feel like they have to be someone else to get anywhere!
If the person doesnt want the real you then move on... Ofcourse a lot of men just want sex and therefore lie to get it and then run off!

Just thinking about 'when Harry met Sally' Theres the line he says to her:- 'after sex men just wonder how long do I have to lay here before I can leave?'

That is a total simptom of guilt- He's done all sorts of stuff to get sex and then after the fact- feels guilty and wants to run off!

Jolly it is OK to think he is lying, but to call someone a liar in the forum is inappropriate . It is not for us to be calling people names in here.. I just want everyone to try to be less aggressive toward each other here in the forum... You are all welcome to opinions but if you have problems you need to deal with them privately. If that person chooses to not answer mails or messages you need to just know they do not wish to discuss it further. We cannot say derogative things about other members even if we don't agree. Those things we keep to ourselves to ensure that others feelings are not hurt .. including mine.. It is uncomfortable to here or see that  on the forum. Just try to not be quite so expressive..no name calling please..  message me if you need to talk further about it!

wait a minute paul said "who cares about her personality when shes on your arm"!!!!!!

That kinda implys he just wants somthing that looks pretty but has no personality- which is a very demeaning attitude many men have towards women.. he may have been joking but even so...
that comment is surely worse than mine- as at least I was aruging that women should be given more respect than that!

Jolly I think it was the fact that it was used as if Paul said it like a quote from "Paul.." I do however see what you mean, but do not think Paul meant it like that..

I do believe you have all talked about it already I assume so it is done.. We can move on  and Like Kadie said I love you all!..

Jolly how is the weather there? Kadie How was the weather for the wedding? Was it inside or outside?

we'll put it this way ben... if you decide to move to new jersey when you live with your fiance and break up with her, you're a jerk. if she then finds out she's pregnant and you still leave and have her move all of her stuff out by herself, you're a bigger jerk. and if she has a miscarriage and calls you to tell you you're not gonna be a daddy after all, don't exhale a big sigh of relief in her ear and ask her why she's crying. cuz that makes you something i can't say on
Title: Attraction in relation to appearance

oh and if you get fired from your dream job in jersey a month later, don't expect her to feel bad for you

OOOH I just finished eating Chinese food. I did something strange tonight Paul! LOL

I went to a store bought a couple things came out and put my things away . Went over to the store wall and had a nice conversation with a perfect stranger. A very young Homeless girl named Lacy, about Kadie's age. She has been traveling around has no home and likes it here, and is looking for a job. She had asked me for some change if I had it. I had 1:00 I got my purse and gave her twenty more dollars and then we went into the Chinese  Restaurant and we had a lovely dinner and conversation and I said goodbye. She was such a sweet girl and very kind and beautiful young lady!

I enjoyed our conversation. I also sent her to another restaurant who was hiring, run by some lovely people I know.. I hope she gets the job, they need help!

Physical attraction - it all comes down to mathematics - the golden ratio.
See:
http://plus.maths.org/issue22/features/golden/

An extract:
I will certainly not attempt to make the ultimate sense of sex appeal in an article on the Golden Ratio. I would like to point out, however, that the human face provides us with hundreds of lengths to choose from. If you have the patience to juggle and manipulate the numbers in various ways, you are bound to come up with some ratios that are equal to the Golden Ratio.

Furthermore, I should note that the literature is bursting with false claims and misconceptions about the appearance of the Golden Ratio in the arts (e.g. in the works of Giotto, Seurat, Mondrian). The history of art has nevertheless shown that artists who have produced works of truly lasting value are precisely those who have departed from any formal canon for aesthetics. In spite of the Golden Ratio's truly amazing mathematical properties, and its propensity to pop up where least expected in natural phenomena, I believe that we should abandon its application as some sort of universal standard for "beauty," either in the human face or in the arts.

I would have thought Solvay, that you would have read this before posting it! Or did you post it as a joke?

[:D] Come on, McDonalds, obesity, fanny packs, trashy shows, it took YEARS to build that empire!! Give us some credit...hahaha [;)]

-"science |?s??ns| noun the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment"- the dictionary

Why is it that people think America has no culture? America certainly has a culture. Culture is not just Picasso etc Hamburgers are included!
