I think I've figured out why most girls are "shallow"

I am willing to take one for the girls team and accept a guy with a nice personality. You're welcome girls 😁

Well this isnt exactly revolutionary.

But yes in some species females will choose the strongest/most aggressive males. In other species however, especially ones which rear offspring together/live in groups, you don't want mate which can be too aggressive to mate/co-exist with or which would not be interested in raising offspring or even potentially kill own offspring just to mate again (although this is very rare).

So what now? The plot thickens :biggrin:
I want to know why girls are generally attracted to taller guys? Same concept?
Another "nice guy" who's salty about not getting girl friends lol. Like I mean I haven't ever had a gf but I don't make threads on the internet complaining about that. Yeah attraction isn't about being ****ing nice and you ****ing know it. You've gotta be confident and assertive. Obviously that can cross into dickhead territory so yeah it's careful line to tread.

You forgot about intelligence OP. A stupid large muscular guy isn't more advantaged in this world than an average but very intelligent lad.
Yeah, all true but don't forget that there are many other environmental factors are at play now

true maybe..

however intelligence is overrated [in terms of it's appeal to women]

the low intelligence looking guy here would do better with women than the boffin looking one

He will definitely do better in the beginning, but it won't turn into anything serious unless the woman is stupid enough to allow it.

Duh
Actually I'd prefer a weak guy with a nice personality over a muscular guy with a horrible or less nice personality. I'm attracted to guys with a complementary personality no matter whether they are "muscular" or "weak".

If you look at it all from a Biological point of view, we Humans are animals and thereby have animalistic traits. And in the animal kingdom, the aggressive and big animals are the ones that are dominant (Excluding Humans who are dominant because of technology). Now, a female animal will always try and chose the biggest and most aggressive mate because it will increase the chances that their offspring will survive since the male is dominant over all the other males. Now, apply that same logic to Humans. Girls are "shallow" because they want (They're programmed by their genes to want) the tallest and most aggressive mates (boys) so that their offspring will be protected from other competition etc.

I think this makes sense. Girls don't want the weak guys with nice personalities because their offspring won't have guaranteed survival. Although, society doesn't involve men killing other men just to get with a female and so almost all Human offspring aren't at risk of getting killed by male competition. But still, girls have been programmed to want the biggest mates because we are still animals at the end of the day.

tl;dr : Girls are shallow because they've been biologically programmed to want a male who can protect their offspring


we are not wild animals you crazy guy

Well he has a point - just because our intelligence allows us to overlook our biology to an extent doesn't mean it doesn't have an effect. We have evolved intelligence, not out of being animals.
That said, I think it would be just as accurate to suppose that the men who are attractive often become less nice because they can get away with it and still attract people. The fact that some women go for that type of man could then be seen as an odds thing: as one person said, each person finds something different attractive.

I don't think you'd have a choice.

If you look at it from a logical point of view, you'll realise that making sweeping generalisations about women is entirely bull ****

I don't care whether you need protecting by a man or a woman or a squirrel-shaped piece of cheese. I simply don't like your attitude.

You tell me to grow up, but who's the one *****ing unnecessarily about not needing protection, telling people to grow up, and using five bangs in a row?

Hell with an attitude like yours men would want to protect you. They'd all be waiting their turn to throw buckets of snot over you.
You should do a phD on this
