Uhm...... you do know how a scientific study works, right? If you think you can disprove the study, that's fine: go through the same scientific channels we went through to disprove the anti-vax garbage. But it sounds to me that you don't like the study, not because it's wrong, but because it's conclusions disagree with your own beliefs.

I do happen to think that the study is just an excuse to reinforce stereotypical gender norms. But I happen to think that it's incorrect too. Do you think it's incorrect?

Until given credible evidence that it's incorrect, I'm going to assume it's correct. So far, such evidence has not been provided.

Welcome! Interesting first post. Stereotypes or not, I have seen both genders plce looks at or near the top of what's important.

I'm not sure I agree or disagree. I mean, I do look at females I find attractive. It is what it is. And that will be the first thing I notice about a female unless I am talking to her over the phone.

Females can be just as "shallow", if you even want to call it that. I follow the gymnastics team at my University on Facebook. They are attractive...and so are the boys they hang out with and date.

I don't think any of this is necessarily bad. It's good to have a body that works. And the better that body works, the better it will likely look (except maybe the face. What is a healthy face?). However, I do understand the plight of those who have gland (?) issues that cause their weight. That must be frustrating. As for me, I overeat. I am responsible for all of my weight. I have no reason to be proud of it or even indifferent.

It's good to look good.

So...give us an intro on the intro board (wherever that even is). Who are ya? Where are ya? How are ya?

This has been proven . Attractiveness can be in two ways . Physically or characteristics(temperament) . Naturally people will be happier with attractive persons . This is the human nature , but there is a saying , I will hopefully translate correctly ; "You will be saturated within 40 days for one of the prettiest face , you wont be saturated within 40 years for one of the lovely temperament "

That's actually a nice sentiment.

For balance I want a study done examining the relevance of penile size.

Nothing new, I would have been surprised if it was the other way around

I'm going to have to call bullshit on you Kiko. The study just doesn't reinforce your androgynous feminist ideology so you immediately dismiss it as sexist. I actually find the study interesting and (from my personal experience at least) it seems to hold true. I know plenty of hot girls who have been with below average guys, yet been completely happy with their relationships. I personally, am also very shallow, as are most guys I know.

It's not surprising. Who would you be happier being married to?
