In the animal kingdom the most beautiful have the largest selection of "suitors" so they have the best chances of breeding and securing the continuation of the species as per instinct. Humans are just animals in clothes who drive cars but have the same instincts as all other animals- to propagate the species.
When we are young and entering the time when our breeding instincts kick in we become attracted to physical appearance. Just as birds are attracted to brightly colored feathers and beautiful song in their quests to mate humans become attracted by the softness and curves of the female or the height and musculature of the male. We are attracted to the physical and don't really have any sort of control over what traits and characteristics get our "motors running". Natural instincts are a strange thing!
Fortunately age and experience teach us that physical appearance is far, far down the list of important factors for choosing a life mate. I guess that's why so many that marry young end up divorced- hormones chose their mate before they were mature enough to think past them.
It depends on the animal. Some will jump on anything they can hold down. I know a lot of guys like that also.
I know in the animal kingdom with many species it is the female that make the pick, and chooses the mate that has the characteristics that are most likely to give her children the greatest chance at survival.
Maybe that is why it is the males in our society that make demands on how a woman looks, while the female is more concerned with how well he can provide.
For every one person that read this post. About 7.99 billion have not.
Yet I still post.
