The sexual selection model essentially states humans are ornamental creatures like all other animals. An good example would be a peacock they have very intricate beautiful wings but those serve no evolutionary purpose. This model essentially states certain traits are just attractive purely on the basis that it looks good and not cause of a intuitive biological health model. This models predictive power would be useful if we can pick isolated tribes and show them people of European descent and then get them to rate which 1 they prefer relative to there own.
The other main model is the model I mainly support which makes the most sense in my opinion is the biological fitness model this states certain traits are attractive due to biological reasons. I'll use the example of tall masculine lower 3rds this implies you have higher testosterone which means generally your more dimorphic and dimorphism is what makes the 2 sexes attracted . Essentially sexual dimorphism is the key in this model unlike the last 1. For this model to have predictive power we would need to do a similar study on a larger scale.
Overall I don't know and it frustrates me if the 2nd 1 is true it's better for nearly all of us if the first 1 is true then it's awful essentially you have to whiten yourself just to be attractive which i don't think flows well with evolution.
