If you are attractive, everyone wants to get in your genes.

The [OBVIOUS] tag too busy checking itself out in the mirror?

Women are judged on their beauty and they know it.

Men are judged on their ability to bring home a paycheck and they know it.

Doesn't mean we can't be hot, too. *flexes*

And my penis is getting bigger, and bigger, and bigger...
And...
And now I've lost interest.

Some people will be mad at me for this, but I think something that's really helped is we are cross breeding with each other.

Mixed race children are beautiful.

Don't say that too loud, or SchlingFocker will accuse you of being a crybaby.

I don't follow the logic, either.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking...

Yeah, but those women will still think they're fat when they aren't.
 
2009-07-26 09:09:41 PM
To be fair, I don't think silicone, lyposuction, and folical removal are natural evolutions. I'll believe it when little girls are born with double ds.

Women are getting more beautiful? What a contentious claim. Beautiful according to whom?

It sounds like the scientists in the article are claiming that Nature knows what "beauty" is, specifically human beauty, and that it's pushing human females towards that end.

I detect a hint of Creationism.

Um... if this were true, shouldn't there be evidence to support it?

Or does "hotter" actually mean "fatter", "greater sense of entitlement", and "covered with skanky tattoos"?
 
2009-07-26 09:12:10 PM
please. please! please!! i hope this de-volves into a religion/atheism/creationism/evolution thread. Those are the best!

Bring on the hot chicks dangit!!

More women would be rich and powerful if more men found that sexy.

Agreed. How the hell does this explain me waking up with the nastiest, fattest, dog-faced woman ever, just last week?
 
2009-07-26 09:13:38 PM
but evolution has also given us bigger penises
 
2009-07-26 09:13:59 PM
Yes, but what's beautiful changes with culture...

Scientists have found that evolution is driving women to become ever more beautiful, while men remain as aesthetically unappealing as their caveman ancestors.

Speak for yourself bud. Now, pardon me I have to be at the gym in 26 minutes to tone my rock hard Greek God physique.

Not totally. Symmetry and things that indicate good health are universal.

Well, duh...

Men in wealthy societies choose mates based on appearance. Women in all types of societies choose mates based on ability to provide for themselves and offspring.

So after a couple dozen generations of growing wealth in first world countries, people are getting better looking.

Yeah. I'm gonna have to agree with Dustman. The obvious tag was clearly sleeping when subby posted this one.

This is why people post pics of Linus.

Is there an objective measuring device for beauty?

"If more attractive parents have more daughters and if physical attractiveness is heritable, it logically follows that women over many generations gradually become more physically attractive on average than men."

Unless the standard for "physical attractiveness" changes. Cultural views on beauty change so often I don't see how it can be called an evolutionary process. Three hundred years ago, plump, alabaster women may have been the rage. Tomorrow it may be toothpick thin sun worshipers. I don't see how such wild swings can contribute evolutionarily.

No, it's the exact opposite of that. It's creatures exhibiting traits that make it easier to reproduce passing those traits on.

In other words, dudes wanna bang hot biatches.

Maybe we just think they're getting prettier when in reality they're all just a bunch of pig-faced freaks.

Now, to be fair, women are becoming more vaccuous and judgemental. Not as many fat guy / hot girl combos. Soon men will have to evolve the pretty to get laid. Hopefully. You guys better start shaving your legs now.

/thinks its all bullshiat.

There's some gems in the comments section:

When out and about, I have seen some women who look quite attractive, until they opened their mouths and spoke

Ain't it the truth brother, ain't it the truth...

Actually it has. We have the biggest penis to body mass ratio of all the primates. Swing it like you mean it lads. Swing it like you mean it.

I'm a big fan of procreative racial deconstruction; I just wish I had more opportunity to actively participate.

Yes.

All the ugly women joined the U.S. Army, most of them got deployed, and are currently enjoying their own special degree of enhanced attractiveness.

/queen for a year, they call it

Of course there's also those that don't think they are fat when they are...

Don't forget the importance of proper riding gear (semi-nsfw)

oh crap ghastly on mu cellphone, i'll send you the bill for the new one.

also, I wouldn't say this is some ID mess, but what happens as the population grows and favorable traits are reinforced by breeding.

obviously what traits are favorable are up to debate.


also tchau, while that happens more often, its not ways true

seen some poor mixed race kids who were fugly
