If all of a sudden, every woman on TV was a fattie, that isnt going to make everyone run out and start chubby chasing. At least not most of us.
Are you sure you aren't already doing this?

As it is our nature, we like to have open-shut cases. Nevertheless, the truth is that things aren't so black or white. There is a gray shade that contains all truths. The reason we see hot as hot is a combined reasons from influences, experience to nature.

If it takes 80 posts to explain why guys find girls hot and visa versa then some of us just arn't thinking.

Thats actually a negative, but its what the feminists want you to believe. The actual strongest factor in beauty is symmetry. The more symmetrical your face, and whole body is, the more attractive. Symmetry means youre healthy, and have good genes, yada yada, but of course, to us, they just look hot.
Not only that, the more average your face is, the better. Not average in terms of "Meh, shes a 5", average in terms of put everyones face of this gender in a computer and this is what the composite looks like. Of course, the more you average, the more symmetrical everything gets etc.
Of course there are other traits that are just plain attractive, like wide hips/small waist, something to do with childbearing.
And I dont buy the fat people used to be attractive argument. I know medieval painting all show chubby girls, but that doesnt necessarily imply that that is their idea of beauty. Theyve probably never even seen a woman like jessica alba.
Plenty of studies to back all of this up, google away.
It's NOT true that chubby girls were attractive in medieval times. I think the Canterbury Tales implies that fat women were ugly and healthy ones were hot, and medieval paintings didn't show chubby women anyway. It's during the renaissance that people claim fat women were attractive, which isn't true either. Their ideals of beauty were supposed to be based on Greek classical ideals, just like everything else.
Btw, am I the only one who sees many many girls hotter than the ones on TV, every day on campus? Now I'm taking a community college class and there are even more hot girls than at UT .
.In psych classes, we learned two things.
They did studies on these, and if enough people care I can look this up.
People like symetery. Basically, it isn;t that they like symetery, it's that they don;t like the absence of it. If you are looking at someone slightly uneven in features, the smallest amount, you register it as something being wrong (subconcious). Instead, it warrents a small but distinct negative feeling about the person.
Second, the closer to "average" someone is, the more likely that more people will like her appearance. Ask someone what their dream women looks like, and it will PROBABLY come fairly close to the national average... c cup, size 6-8, 5'6"-5'8"... these are the common answers, and are oddly close to average. Not to say that the average woman has all of these traits, because not at all. But, if you mix the averages from all of them, then yeah, you would find something like this is true.

phi?
Its actually 1:1.6
So true.
Yeah I completely understand what you are saying [feeling too lol].
But I'm going to Georgia Tech. Kinda sucks. 1 girl for every 3 guys. They've got a name for it and everything. TBS. Tech ***** Syndrome. All the girls that were considered the nerdy ones in high school are all of a sudden in demand. They can't cope with all this new attention. So they turn into *******.
I have heard, however, that after you factor out all the geeky guys (those that are perfectly happy to stay in their room all weekend) then you're left with a ratio much nearer to the standard 1:1.
But walking around campus when I visited.....there's nowhere near the population/ratio of hot chics that a lot of other colleges have. Makes me want to stay local and go to UK.
Aside from all that, there is Agnes Scott and University of Georgia down the road...so hopefully I'll be ok.
This I mostly agree with. Men care much less about symmetry as do women though. Beauty is usually readily apparent or it's not. This is why models are beautiful. Everyone posesses beautiful properties, maybe half the pie, some more, some less. But we all like the same pie and we all want more of it.

Which is why I am surprised that breast cancer cures are something that every man isn't doing something to help.
Oh, and some girls stink.
I could believe that symmetry has some importance, but I have never once looked at a girl and thought that she might be too asymmetrical.
