Evolutionary explanation for looks theory doesnt make sense.

For example flat maxilla (ricecel trait) and flat nose(negro and rice) trait are considered unattractive but these races developed these traits due to evolution.
So shouldnt flat maxilla be an attractive trait in gooks?

Also some races are shorter than others due to evolution. Then why is short height universally unattractive?

Maybe you should read my theory on diet and jaw shape thread

Believe it or not but looks matter way less back then than it does now

A lot of women didn't really have a choice on who they want to be or procreate with because they were getting gang raped even by ugly men

well, they hadnt have to compete with caucasians. so.

 

[Aesthetics_III]

there may be an objective, universal law to attraction and aesthetics.

What survival purpose does PCT offer? But somehow PCT increase the aesthetics of anything it can be applied to

That is very strange ngl. Why are the traits that we perceive as attractive, attractive in the first place. From what I can tell there was really no survival benefit to having like a forward grown maxilla or chin.

Yeah its the same with male peacocks, having massive colourful feathers is more attractive to the females but in the wild it highly increases the chance of them being spotted and eaten. I think its just a general sign of a healthy male and not really to do with fighting success.

Exactly. It's the fact that the organism can still survive and thrive even despite allocating its energy to growing showy and useless features that makes them attractive

I know its an old thread, but thats an interesting discussion

I think beauty is not that much tied to evolution in humans

Who do you think would be a better survivor on a hunter-gathering way of life, Usain Bolt or Justin Bieber? Probably Bolt, but Bieber is still seem as more attractive

I wonder if this is true tbh. Seems legit ngl

The answer is obvious and it has nothing to do with evolution. The white race (mainly europeans) controlled and mainly still controlls the world. It always was desireable to be white bc of the privilege so obviously white features became attractive such as tall and good jawline. We were the first at globalization.
