there was a Greatest Hit from the old Tumblr mock thread where someone was complaining that her husband didn't want to gently caress her anymore just because she gained 150 pounds in two years (HAES!) and her solution was to try to make him get a Viagra prescription

e: how do I keep getting these awful snypes

I think it's true that many people obsess a bit too much about the greener grass on the other side of the fence and gently caress up an awesome thing because they just had to get their dick wet. A good relationship is def a lot more than just "well you're a 7.5 but she's a 8.5 so time to traaaade up!" Which sounds ridiculous but nonetheless people do that poo poo then wonder why they can never find happiness.

Just doesn't seem all that applicable to this situation.

This just in: men primarily select partners based on markers of reproductive health, such as youth, child-like facial features, symmetry and hip-waist ratio.

Women primarily select men on indicators of skill and competence, as well as ability to provide security and stability, which often, but not always, correlates to material wealth and older age. The preferred female age gap is being 3-8 years junior of their mate.

Surely this news will rock the planet.

Children can’t reproduce. A skinny small person with a 5 year olds face isn’t an ideal breeding wise. In fact the best breeding women in terms of child survival are overweight (but not obese.)

Ok, you know how we think cats and dogs are cute? That’s mostly due to their facial features being similar to human infants. A cute dog is essentially a wolf pup permanently stuck in adolescence, as we bred them that way. We connected with them better like that. Humans are wired to find babies “cute”. Facial features that are preferred vastly by men fill the same “cute” category. Big eyes, small mouth, small nose, soft features. Having these features broadcasts youth, and thus fertility.

You want about a 0.7 waist-to-hip ratio, btw.

Normal people don't want to gently caress their dogs or children.

Also women love neoteny in pets as much (or more) than men do, so how does that support the theory that they want to gently caress old men?

It doesn't, because idiot men come up with dumb theories about biotruths and never think them all the way through

If my husband was rich I'd have to have 3-5 people dedicated to slapping the ribs out of my hands every now and then and making me eat a green or take a swim. They'd have to take shifts, you see, because if I was rich I'd be eating BBQ 24/7. BBQ made by the fattest, most thickly accented Pitmaster I could find, someone who has whole day long, indecipherable conversations about types of wood and their flavor additions while I nod blankly and wipe sauce off of my chin. God, I'm so hungry rn.

Sure. I can only think about one particular subject about which I wasn’t being entirely facetious, finding athletic women attractive (horrors). I haven’t commented on that for months, as far as memory serves.

The :biotruths: poo poo is about averages and trends discovered through scientific studies, not absolute predictors of any given human’s behavior.

Aren't you the same guy that wanted a gold star for not raping someone? And now you are here to tell us that men should be attracted to child like features?

Unless you can provide links to credible scientific sources saying men are supposed to be attracted to "child like features" it sounds like you are just a creep.

The dude is referring to statistical studies which don't actually mean much about people's innate preferences but instead say more about what is societally encouraged, what's acceptable, and what's discouraged. It's considered acceptable for men to date women consistently younger than them but not for that to be reversed, so that's reflected in the statistical breakdown. And women aren't attracted to 'status factors' as opposed to personality or looks, it's just that there was an explicit societal expectation (and said expectation is still around but implicit) for women to leverage their youth and beauty to 'marry up' because they weren't able to work when married. Turning that into some bullshit biotruths is pathetic, as is acting like that stuff is all innate and natural rather than learned or people going for what they think they can get rather than what they want.
