Sexual Attraction

[paulpablo]

I'd take a guess that the attraction to Bill Maher makes sense in terms of evolution.

For a man it makes more sense to get young fertile eggs, for a woman it makes sense to get a powerful man with money, resources, status and so on.

I don't think Bill's jokes or laugh would work as well on women if he worked at a petrol station.

Dude, no. If any of my real life friends heard something like that as an explanation of something related to me, they'd laugh. I'm the most simple person when it comes to money and resources. I truly don't give a fuck what people have. [snipped examples, because TMI]

But what's funny is that you think that what attracts us is his money and "power". Lmao suuuuure because the tv and internet don't have so many other rich younger and better looking dudes to stalk if we felt attracted to those things. It doesn't even make sense.

Also... I'm thinking of the top 7 people who I find attractive (non famous) at this time and I know for sure that 5 of them are broke. Lol hadn't thought of that, but since it came up, why not? I'd buy their beer, no problem. Efff. I do have a weakness for intelligence paired with a smooth, cool, and funny personality. Dude can live in a basement, but know how to build a computer, flirt, and just be cool as fuck, and boom. I once went crazy over a woman I met (whom I still regret losing) and I would have been the sole bread winner if I had kept her close, no problem. If that's what she wanted. Faaaaak. She was special. My depression issues got in the way, though. (Whispers to her: hey, sorry for everything)

So anyway, nah. Your theory, at least in my case, doesn't pass. I know it's a long response but dammit! I've heard this one so many fucking times while sitting at my favorite bar, conversations between dudes, and I sit there trying as hard as I can to not rant and roll my eyes at these strangers. At least now I can do it over the internet. Bahahah

I'm saying that it makes sense in a deep subconscious way for women to place a high importance on dominance, resources and status.  But not that you personally would go for him because you consciously know he has money and power.

I'd go for young women who have big tits, firm skin, nice thighs and so on.  My brain has sorted that out for me because those are signs of fertile eggs, but I'm not personally out there consciously searching for young fertile eggs.

I'd make a prediction you might disagree with, I think that if the girl I quite like in the warehouses I work in magically aged to be 61 (Bill's age) I'd be less attracted to her.  

And I think if you met Bill and he was working in our warehouses you'd be less attracted to him.  Not, suit and tie, Bill.  5 ft 7, 61 year old fork lift truck driver Bill.

I don't even know you so I could be wrong, but I know if I worked with 5 ft 7, 61 year old fork lift truck driver Bill, and he had a girlfriend who looked like you I'd be thinking Bill's either deceptively rich or he's packing some untold level of girth down there.  There has to be some unseen value here.

As for being able to build things, being good at flirting, those things are sort of projections of intelligence, status and dominance.  So that's not surprising.

But my final thought that I'm repeating is that I don't know you, some people just go against the grain.  I'm just humbly suggesting some evolutionary biological reasons for why a woman might find Bill Maher attractive.
