I’m not sure what the demographic is of those who post comments in such places. It’s not necessarily reflective of the female population as a whole.

I certainly wouldn’t post comments like that. Most women don’t and wouldn’t.

Perhaps women who are primarily interested in looks are more likely to post comments. It doesn’t say anything about those who don’t post. People are not all the same. We like different things.

I’m not sure why comments on social media would be considered compelling evidence of…anything.



Because people of all sorts use social media - and those people are certainly animal lovers.


It doesn’t mean that people of all sorts would post about this specific person’s looks.

It’s a very strange argument.



I am not claiming it’s not an anecdote evidence.

I’m primarily in the exJW subreddit because I was raised a Jehovah’s Witness. I’m interested in cults in general, though, so I post in the cults subreddit, too.

If it’s admittedly anecdotal evidence, what’s the point in posting it here? Controversy?

I don’t believe most people actually post in these sorts of sites.

And the ones that do…..some of them aren’t too bright.

It’s no reflection on a person’s actual “chances” of finding a suitable person.

I don’t have a problem with that sort of thing. I just don’t think it reflects the general, female population.

I'm still struggling to understand that people actually can look at a person and feel attracted to them. I think I must be some kind of asexual. I used to think it was just an expression, exaggeration, joke, something besides people being literal about just seeing a person and wanting to be with them. I get it that some (probably most) people do feel and experience actual physical attraction, but I am not one of them. It seems a really weird and irrelevant thing to be concerned with when considering someone for a partner.

Males tend to be very visual.
The most traffic on the internet is porn.
Testosterone has a LOT to do with sexual interests, in males.

"Women are from Venus...
And men are from Mars..."
It is simply an evolutionary quirk.

It was evidently a "survival of the species advantage" in humanity's early history in particular.
And it is simply a NATURAL part of life.
You may as well be outraged at predators killing for food to survive.

Life is not pretty...
But it is what it is... :shrug:

Having said that, social de-emphasis on looks is a positive thing, imo.
But not to the point of our denying our understanding who/what we are.

Being an avid student of understanding human psychology, I can see it is important to be honest with ourselves.
Political Correctness and woke ideology simply encourage dissociation from the realities of life.
And how is psychological confusion a good thing in any form?
Not a fan of social brainwashing.

The skunk has spoken. 8)

Do tell. I lost interest, but curious what women like. Useful study, because they desire to have those fantasies satisfied.
