Men With Muscles and Money Are More Attractive..Showing Gender Roles Aren’t Progressing [tr]
Newsweek ^ | November 20, 2017 | Sydney Pereira

Muscles and money are qualities that straight women and gay men typically find attractive in men, according to an analysis of Tube Crush—a website where people post unsolicited pictures of men seen on the London Underground. The study at Coventry and Aberystwyth universities in the United Kingdom, published in Feminist Media Studies in August, analyzed images over a period of three years since 2014. The “guy candy” posted on the website were mostly white men—despite London being a multicultural city—indicating that white male privilege is still an attractive quality.

It will take many more generations to wipe out our factory programming, then there will be no more generations.

Gerald Ford had one good line as prez:

The battle of the sexes will never end; there’s too much fraternizing with the enemy.

I know this is off the subject, but are those Swedish men still sitting down to urinate?

I complain every time that slob shows up on TV.

You mean 300,000,00 years ago.

(And those brainless slobs on the left are trying to redefine man and woman.)

"The left would like everyone to be gay and all men to be feminine wusses and all women to be butch. Reality is otherwise, and the left doesn’t like it."

Those morons on the left don't like anything about truth and reality. Truth is the bête noire that haunts their paranoia!

What you say is true, but it's also true that money and muscles get the attention of most women, even if the attention doesn't last.

Furthermore, many women would probably like to have fling with a rich, muscular, irresponsible man; however there's a difference between a fling and a relationship.

I've known many a woman I'd like to have a fling with--if there are no strings attached--some for maybe 30 minutes or so--but I would never want to marry. Women are probably similar, don't you think?

“Men With Muscles and Money Are More Attractive..Showing Gender Roles Aren’t Progressing”

and females who aren’t grossly over-weight, have good hygiene, take enough care to dress nicely, take good care of their hair, have good senses of humor, and engage in intelligent and interesting conversation are more attractive than females who are grossly over-weight, don’t bath often, wear bag-lady clothes, have dirty hair, dour outlook on life, and harangue people with boring conversation.

btw, i’m planning on submitting a grant request of $1,500,000 to explore why the above is true.

“Men With Muscles and Money Are More Attractive..Showing Gender Roles Aren’t Progressing”

it’s the genes, stupid!

example in nature:

Northern mockingbirds are socially monogamous, but both males and females prefer mates that are more aggressive towards intruders, and so exhibit greater parental investment. However, males are more defensive of their nests than females. In a population where male breeding adults outnumber female breeding adults, females have more freedom in choosing their mates. In these cases, these female breeders have the option of changing mates within a breeding season if the first male does not provide a high level of parental care, which includes feeding and nest defense. High nesting success is associated with highly aggressive males attacking intruders in the territory, and so these males are preferred by females.

the female is continuously evaluating the quality of the male and his territory. The assessment is usually triggered by the arrival of a new male in a neighboring territory at the beginning of a new breeding season. In those cases, the mated female is constantly seen flying over both the original and the new male’s territory, evaluating the qualities of both territories and exchanging calls with both males. The social mate displays aggressive behaviors towards the female, while the new male shows less aggression and sings softer songs. At the same time, both the mated male and the new male will fly over other territories to attract other females as well. Divorce, mate switching and extra-pair matings do occur in northern mockingbirds.

>>” The hipster boys with their lumberjack beards and Untuckit shirts are a push-back where they maintain their basic stylish femininity, but add on enough masculinity to be marketable in the mating market again.”

Interesting observation. But they still look phoney to me and quite repellant.

“In my experience, women who are mature are mostly attracted to the person who is stable mentally, emotionally, and financially.”

Young women fall for bad boys. More mature women fall for good guys that can LOOK like bad boys but have the qualities you describe.

Well, personality is a factor too. But, a natural, spontaneous, relationship, rather than the dangled carrot of a fame and fortune promise, seems to be rather free of the abuse factor.

According to advice columnist Amy Alkon, in response to a comment I made on her blog, even handsome men can become the subject of frivolous complaints.

Any woman that doesn't have substance and maturity by age 25 is not someone I would want to have any kind of relationship with. That's just me. Plus, most self-identifying ‘bad boys’ that I've known in my life are complete and utter pu***ys when push comes to shove, so I don't even know what that concept means. Truly ‘tough’ guys, like those who have served in combat, tend to be respectful guys who aren't shallow. That's just my experience. The special operations guys I've known were understated.

I'm not arguing with you, at all. I just think the world is way too superficial to begin with, and I think that being strong in character, with ethics and a willingness to put your life on the line for what is right, is the most pertinent and real type of ‘being tough’, not the stereotypical ‘bad boy’ image.
