However, understanding what accounts for these preferences--skin color, height, body shape--could also shed light on where prejudices come from that affect the non-dating scenario. Height is often associated with strength, which may account for the advantages the tall have even in office environments, and perhaps women's attractiveness towards strength explains why they (often) prefer taller men. Conversely, could the fact that men tend to be taller than women have an effect on the wage gap? I think there's a lot to explore here.Brandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219319435229314554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1785580148466700025.post-7849731079098974122011-04-15T23:25:11.517+01:002011-04-15T23:25:11.517+01:00It all comes down to biology Brando... we are attr...It all comes down to biology Brando... we are attracted to the person that is most likely to let us breed. Period. Where the "dating" part comes in is the pheromone and cognitive factor. When you "date" people, you have already been attracted to them biologically, ie-you see them as fit to mate with. Dating allows you to see who makes your pheromones exude in full force, and that usually happens with like to like cognitively.<br /><br />If a woman doesn't get wet in the pants by a short guy, she's not going to be as successful breeding with him.<br /><br />Also, this is why men are attracted to women with a high waist to hip ratio because this means they are more fertile. <br /><br />The other office crap you're talking about is just what happens when you put an ape in suit and try to ask them to ignore their animal nature.Freckle Facehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821578789457113765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1785580148466700025.post-73107104515314814462011-04-15T21:01:28.391+01:002011-04-15T21:01:28.391+01:00I think in any other area this may be bigotry, but...I think in any other area this may be bigotry, but it comes to dating I don't. Basically, bigotry or discrimination would be anything that does not affect your "performance" (in whatever measure you want to use for it) but you are discriminated against because of it. When it comes to height (or race, or eye color, or hair color or amount of hair in your head or whatever) in dating, it is all a function of what the other person is attracted to. Plain and simple, if you are not attracted to someone with certain physical characteristics, then the "dating performance" probably will not be too high, uniquely because of the lack of attraction. People are attracted to what they are attracted, period, and not choosing what you are not attracted to is not bigotry, it is just preferring to be with someone you are attracted to.Titaniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01545746060811982263noreply@blogger.com
