Agreed! And no one - noone - knows how groups and societies were organises in those distant times.



Then call me a fool, because that is exactly what I think.

Anyway, you keep talking about marriage and getting kids, and who do you think most women would want to marry? According to your line of reasoning, the one who would help support the kids.

Honestly, I think there is a sort of misunderstanding between men and women in these matters. Some men seem to think that being a criminal or off society violent person is macho, and that that will attract women. But I think that the things that (might) give points between men are not neccesarily the things that (might) score with women.

Do you think that the women who wants to marry a criminal on death row for fame value are representative for the female sex?

If so they would not get proposals in tens, but in millions.

Ehm - I happen to be a woman myself - If you were aware of that, I am a bit puzzled your remark -?

I do not choose my partners according to whether they are 'nice' or 'bad', sounds a bit juvenile to me, actually, not to say oversimplified. Not many people are all 'bad' or 'nice', that seem quite a two dimenisonal view of humans.

Anyway, this one survey said:

"Who did the gals go for? The study showed they preferred guys who looked proud or moody and ashamed. But the guys were most sexually attracted to women who looked happy, and least attracted to those who appeared proud and confident."

No figures given.

"But Beall pointed out in the statement that the people in the study weren't asked to evaluate men on the basis of whether they might make a good mate. "We wanted their gut reactions on carnal, sexual attraction," he said."

UBC says about this:

"Very few studies have explored the relationship between emotions and attraction, and this is the first to report a significant gender difference in the attractiveness of smiles. The study, published online today in the American Psychological Association journal Emotion, is also the first to investigate the attractiveness of displays of pride and shame."

"He [Alec Beall, a UBC psychology graduate student and study co-author]says previous studies have found positive emotional traits and a nice personality to be highly desirable in a relationship partners."

"While this study focused on sexual attraction between heterosexual men and women in North America, the researchers say future studies will be required to explore the relationship between emotions and sexual attractiveness among homosexuals and non-Western cultures."

"Overall, the researchers found that men ranked women more attractive than women ranked men."

Underlinings are mine.

Not such a one-sided result as you would have it, I think. These US women (representative, or taken from students?) seem to like shamed and proud men equally - a bit confusing really. As for the pride, I found the pic they showed to be 'happy' and showing off muscles as well as 'proud', and it would be fun to see what women and men from other cultures would choose.
As for all the interpretations and ideas the researchers come up with, they are just that - ideas.
