I would argue that different cultures and time periods do have drastically different standards of attractiveness. Things like the ideal skin tone, body shape, body weight, hair color, hair texture, level of musculature, eyebrows, even forehead height have changed dramatically across time and are different between cultures. Yes for example obesity is pretty much never seen as attractive, but the ideal has ranged from rail thin to voluptuous, and also varies greatly person to person. Obviously there are a lot of standards of attractiveness which are instinctual like youth so they remain constant across time/culture, but to say that what we find attractive is not impacted by media or culture and that we all share the same standards of attractiveness which are governed by instinct is incorrect and too simplistic

@@brownerjerry174 The study he used for the claim that attractiveness is universal (Sugiyama, L. S. (2015) ) does not appear to discuss the historical stability of the findings. All studies cited are younger than 80 years, i.e. not a single pre-industrial study is included (which might be due to lack of research from the time). I don't think the the study cited supports the claim that the discussed standard of attractiveness does not vary throughout time. So, for this discussion, there is no evidence provided so far one way or the other.

There are extremely strong correlations between age of men and health of children. In fact studies are finding that the health and age of the father can have more impact for conception than women. Women have more impact after conception. This is likely due to the probability of genetically healthy sperm.

Yes, older sperm is more likely to end in a misscarriage even if the mother is young. Its simply that the DNA isnt as strong because its been replicated so many times that its degraded over time.

Standards of beauty are DEFINITELY different across cultures. Some things are the same - don't think any culture finds wrinkles or broken bones attractive, for example - but you just need to look at the myriad of historical examples, from the leg-shaving advertising campaign to women in China binding their feet to the post-colonial trend towards lighter skin in India, to realize that culture makes a huge difference. Nobody finds obesity attractive, and nobody finds anorexia attractive, but that gap is very wide. Being "plump", not supermodel skinny, was the ideal at many points in history (you can even find some ads for products encouraging women to increase their weight). For men, the Greeks thought small genitalia were extremely attractive, and, well. That's changed significantly. I mean, I guess you could argue that those are "small" differences, but I would disagree, and I'd also be very curious about what constitutes a "large" difference, if that Chinese mutilation example doesn't. tl;dr it's more accurate to say "visibly unhealthy characteristics are never attractive" than "culture barely affects beauty standards"

@toplad8113 4 жыл бұрын
*For men, the Greeks thought small genitalia were extremely attractive, and, well. That's changed significantly.* Greeks have a fairly particular gay culture where young handsome men would be sought out as intimate partners and said handsome men would explicitely try to gain the favors of older more powerful men. What I'm trying to say is that the standard isn't based on females' attraction toward big or small dicks, it's essentially based on males'. Could be that smaller penises are easier on the ass... Or a plethora of other reasons. Gay attraction isn't as biologically driven as conventional, straight attraction. My belief is that we're primates, we're hardwired to seek out certain traits in partners regardless of culture, as for the culture gap, I believe it's wider for men than it is for women. Men have higher testosterone levels thus they're hornier, have a wider range of "hot" and are overall more prone to be attracted to unconventional things because men see a whole lot of things as sexual, they have more opportunities to develop paraphilias along the way because of their innate higher sex drive (as opposed to female's innately lower and cyclic sex drive) and... They're meant to impregnate as many females as humanly possible, not the best females. Most primate and felines operate in a harem-like system, males don't care so much about physical traits in females aside from the fundamentals. For that reason I'd wager there are more men who'd be into extremely skinny or extremely fat, while women would be far more selective. This is essentially because women, being the incubators of our species and having limited shots (because of the dangers inherent to childbirth) probably had to pick the best mate possible. Yes, culture probably intervenes and orients humans' attraction but I very much doubt women would someday be attracted to negative shoulder-to-hip ratio in men or that men would be mainly attracted to jacked women. Culture never fully supersedes nature and attraction based on gender isn't the same because males and females aren't the same.

Hello, an animator here: you're not wrong when you basically say that we design supposedly attractive characters by exaggerating the "ideal" proportions found in real life. But the main reason isn't really to make those characters sexy - it's simply to make those characters easier to decode by the viewer. If someone has an able body because the story calls for that, the character will look like an athlete times 10. If the main character is a young women and her goal is to find someone to love, she'll look like a playboy model. If someone's old, he or she'll become hunched over and frail, is someone's overweight, that person's going to turn into a balloon. And the same goes for the eyes. Eyes are the most expressive part of one's body. The mirror of the soul, as we say. That's why most cartoon characters have big eyes, it has, again, pretty much nothing to do with "sexyness". However, it is true, that, since most lead characters are supposed to be attractive or at least perceived as relatable (since, you know they are the good guys), AND because you want to make them as expressive as possible, you give them big eyes, as they're easier to work with. So, when certain blogs try to mark them as a way to sex up cartoon characters, they are plain wrong (unless the find Tom and Jerry sexy for example) Obviously, this is such and old trope, sometimes it can be fun to go against it, case and point Johnny Bravo, who you just mentioned . He has no eyes. Since the whole character is basically a typical "hero" character, turned upside down (he only looks the part, but entire useless and idiotic in any other sense), I guess, this fun, but challenging change in the design made him instantly recognizable - thus making it a rather smart move.

If you compare eye sizes between male and female humanoid characters, females *generally* have larger eyes and/or smaller heads, giving them a significantly higher eyes to face ratio. This would suggest that "sexiness" plays some part in that creative decision. It's very noticeable in the case of Frozen. Looking through some other Disney films it seems to be a less and less distinct difference as the films get older.

@christopherbrown1848 5 жыл бұрын
SJNaka101 There's some evidence to support that the biological hardware in some parts of the brain in a homosexual person is comparable to that of a heterosexual person of the opposite sex, as a result of developmental misalignment between genital development (which occurs early on during pregnancy) and brain development (which occurs weeks later). Unfortunately, I can't really give you concrete specifics; I remember reading several articles displaying evidence along these lines, but it's been awhile since I read them and I failed to retain that information. But Google Scholar should help fill in that missing information.

But isn't that the way you become trans? I heard a theory that it's more due to the wrong hormones when the brain is establishing attraction. Also in different species homosexuality (or bisexuality) has different functions in the group and sometimes different functions. It might be a much more complex thing than we suspect. The thing remains that somehow a small percentage of the population not being straight somehow benefits our species, maybe it's because we can act like foster parents when in the wild there weren't any institutions providing that... I really am super curious of how exactly all that wiring happens.

You're not! I find it very fascinating too, and I'm really far from straight :D. I don't think though it's a simple crosswise issue. Because there's that weird, almost 50/50 split between, for example lesbians or bi women, where some prefer those with more "masculine" traits and other with "feminine" = the kind that most straight men are attracted to. It's also not quite the rule of "opposites attract" because I'm really femme but also only attracted to very feminine and graceful women. Thinking about this really makes you realize how complex the whole thing is, and that the reason might not be so simple...

I'm interested to know if this is all unanimously verified by science
@mrahzzz 5 жыл бұрын
"Isn't lending too much credence to these broad conclusions" This was my biggest issue with this video - it watched like a lot of pop culture facts on attractiveness *without context*. Human psychology is really tough to nail down because it *isn't* completely empirical. So I'm a little disappointed at this claim at all of these empirical, black and white, conclusions. One huge example that I noticed of these facts being taken out of context was the one with women and risk of birth defects. It absolutely starts rising at a way larger rate after 30, but it's really in the late 30s, early 40s that the risk gets particularly significant for possible birth defects. Then some claims (about the reason for men's preference of the number of children a woman has, for example) just seemed a little... reaching as concrete conclusions. Perhaps he thought it went without saying "take this all with a grain of salt," but this just didn't seem terribly thorough, and could have done with more context for my taste. Perhaps part of the issue is that, as someone who very much was trained in the "nature and nurture" school of "effect on human behavior and perception," and with a background in biological anthropology, too much of an "evolutionary psychology" video is just going to be something that I struggle to find thorough and concrete. I said it about psychology, but too much even of our biological anthropology rests in lost data, so I struggle to really give a ton of credence to evolutionary psychology. It's difficult for me to find myself fully in support of the idea of modern humans justifying current social behavior with past situations which are not always or necessarily often well understood, *and then people using this work as empirical fact.* Maybe I just don't know enough about evolutionary psychology.

I've been told this on several occasions and have thought about it with every video... It was proven to me after I did the Taxes video when I finally decided to make the most clickbaity title I've ever done - "You're Doing Them Wrong." People suddenly want to know what they're doing wrong... which right away I was worried that people could call me out because I never actually say what they're doing wrong (which is their W4, not their 1040). Anyway, I digress. I know if I titled this something like "Why You Think She's Hot" or even threw the word sex in there somewhere, the views would flow right in. But... I'd just feel dirty doing that, hah.

A quick thought on clickbait titles is if you're getting more views on a video, it may not be because your content is good but simply you are clever enough to hook people in with your title. Are people watching because they are genuinely interested, or because they are susceptible to exaggerations of truth?

Eh... many things here seem to contradict with my observations. From the fact that throughout history the ideal of beauty changed many times (such as there being time periods when small breasts were preferable) to more significant cultural differences (say, Japanese women wanted to look flat with no curves whatsoever, thus wearing belts around their waist that would hide the natural curvature of the body), to the fact that symmetry isn't always desirable - yes, not enough symmetry is bad, but too much is also bad. When you show people pictures of perfectly symmetrical faces, they look creepy and artificial, sort of like the uncanny valley effect. Then there's BMI... BMI works well if you compare people of similar fitness, so say a couch potato with a BMI of 20 is much more healthy than a couch potato with a BMI of 30. Yet an athlete with a BMI of 30 is most likely going to be much more attractive than a couch potato with a BMI of 20. Now athletes will generally have BMIs of at least 25, since they have plenty of muscle tissue as opposed to fat tissue. Claiming that the ideal BMI is below 20 would pretty much disqualify athletes as unattractive... which I think seems rather ridiculous, so the research must have been bogus. And ending with the fact that it's not uncommon for people to be aware that their choice of style (clothing, hairstyle, facial hair, etc.) makes them less attractive, yet they still go with their style because not everyone makes their decisions with looking as attractive as possible as their goal. Although sure, healthy looking people tend to be more attractive. I don't think I've seen any evidence against this theory. This might have stayed a constant throughout time and cultures. The thing is, what "healthy looking" means seems to differ in history and between cultures. In places where starvation is a major danger, having some fat is a sign of health. In places where cholesterol is more likely to kill you than starvation, it's the opposite. Another example is tanned skin - for a long time in Europe it was unattractive and aristocracy would put much effort to keep their skin untanned, because tanned skin was associated with peasantry. Nowadays, skin that is tanned just right is seen as most attractive, while untanned skin might be seen as sickly and unhealthy. For more extreme examples, many cultures had practices such as Chinese foot binding, Mayan cranial deformation etc. - practices that modern people would see as extremely unhealthy and unattractive, yet apparently somewhere in the past they had their proponents. Maybe as a "if you survived THAT, you must have a strong immunity system..." I guess piercing and tattoos also fall into this category, especially the more extreme variants.

I don't know. I mean there is still a preference for women being thin in Asia, and black men tend to like women a bit thicker, while white men like something in between. I think you are comparing the difference between races, rather than say 15th Century Japan to now. Also just because a body shaped was desired, does not mean it was sexually pursed, quite the opposite in fact. Open sexuality/adultery was scandalized in most ancient cultures because it eroded family structure, and therefore the women you see depicted in statues, are actually depicting the 'decent' look, not the sexy look.

Humans notice difference far more than similarities. It's a wired in bias. Often when a couple says they're opposite, they're actually quite similar in many ways compared to the average person on the street. It's often a just few significant personality differences that stand out in contrast to each other, like introversion vs extroversion. Sometimes differences compliment each other well. Like if one person is more disagreeable, moody, or has a dominant personality, they might match up well with someone who compliments that. Imagine two hard assed argumentative people in a relationship together... That's not going to go well.

The guy I ACTUALLY love is five foot four (because he's Sicilian, not because he's weak or anything), which is much better for me, shrimp as I am.

I'm also 6'4", and I also have similar issues. I'm too tall for ALl of my ex's... my tallest girlfriend was only 5'3... and my girlfriend i have now is only 5'0 exactly. I am surprised I haven't had a 5'10 tomboy like my own mother.

@@marykatesepp6305 20-25 is considered "healthy" but its not exactly a reliable system. My BMI for example is 30.9 which makes me obese. But thanks to this lock-down I've got as fat as I've ever been with a 36" waist. When I was at my fittest in my early 20s my BMI was probably around 32 but I had a 32" waist- which I maintained until my late 30s and I WILL get there again by the end of the year!!! (this is hope rather than a wager by the way).

Idk, I mean this is fine stuff to know but I think getting too hung up on this is a great way to become an incel. There's other things to consider like individual taste, fetishes, and of course how desperate and/or lonely someone is.
