Hey Sean,

Thanks for your comment :)

Yeah, I don’t think a lot of us has been thinking too much about that. It really is interesting.

Glad you liked the article, you can easily look forward to more good stuff in the future.

Cheers!

Interesting topic Alex! I never would have thought about how our attraction to wide hips and big breasts may on some level relate to us thinking that such a woman would be a good candidate to producing and maintaining succesful offspring.

And like you described in the article, a man that looks healthy, etc. is probably on that same level to the woman’s perspective.
There are kinds of topics pertaining to this subject and I think you did a good job giving an overview of them.

You can easily look forward for more stuff Albert, I have only yet covered a small fracture of all this “dating science”.

Glad you find it interesting, and I am also glad to see you participate a little here.

I think we can learn a lot from each other! (Maybe more me from you, but whatever. I may have a small thing to say once in a while too) ;)

Thanks for your comment mate!

Good stuff Alex! I think once any guy fulfills any of this criteria he will be a dating god, so I look forward to seeing what else there is when you say this article represents only a small part of the attraction.

David, you’re absolutely right.

Of course it’s a plus, saying looks doesn’t matter at all would be a complete lie.

Raymond always try to look your best, this is really what matters. This way, you will also (most likely) FEEL more confident and thus projecting it better.

Ray please get back to me if you still feel confused, and thanks for the reply David, much appreciated :)

Raymond; If you have high status and display confidence then looks becomes less important, of course it’s a plus but women are not as shallow as men. A beautiful girl can be attracted to a man who’s not very good looking but has high status. But that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t care about how you look. You should always try look your best, be well groomed and take care of your health. I think that’s what Alex is trying to say.

Hi Alex,

I’m kinda confuse here because I thought you said that we (men) don’t have to be good looking in order to get girls (in one of your post)

Do you mind to explain more on that?

You’re welcome Jason!

I think that the issue on thin women is more of a “fashion” thing than an evolutionary thing.

So many of us are overweight, and since that shows you’re not taking proper care of yourself, the opposite attracts us.

I think that’s why we tend to like thinner women.

About the age thing etc., I am not quite sure. I’ll start a little investigation on my own and let you guys know what I find.

Thanks for your comment mate :)

Great article Alex and thanks for the link :)

Evolutionary biology and dating: I’ve wondered if the fact that men are attracted to slender women is cultural or whether it’s on a deeper psychological level that we find thin women attractive. Is there a link between the fact that men mature slower, so tend to date younger, and younger women tend to be thinner? And maybe the opposite is true for women? Maybe there are a lot of other deep psychological things that men and women don’t even realize about themselves, but these things can be used to your advantage when dating.
