"Ten politically incorrect truths about human nature"

[el_boss]

Dammit it's so annoying that you can't edit your own thread titles. Could a pretty mod please edit the title so it says "incorrect" instead of "pncorrect"?

I first thought it was someone trying to be funny, but as I continued reading I realised the article was serious in what it was saying.

Although some points (and I say some just to give the authors the benefit of the doubt on something) may be interesting observations, the idea that any of these is true due to the reasoning used is preposterous.

I mean take the first thing about Men being genetically pre-disposed to liking blue eyed blondes with a small waist, large hips and big breasts. Taking my own preferences out of this discussion for the sake of impartiality, this is just wrong on so many levels. I'll get straight to the point on this one, and say read this article. Clearly its people's concepts which dictate what kind of things they like in life, not some genetic code.

I won't go on to the other points, as the stupidity in this one was brain damagingly large. The article completely lost credibility with me by the time it got to talking about why men like blue eyed women.

If you ask me, seeing as one of the authors seems to be japanese I would say we got some heavy cultural bias going on here towards blue eyed blondes.

As with any scientific study this is based om generalisations. So you can't expect it to apply on every single isolated event.

Have you heard the phrase "attraction is not a choice"? Basically it is hard coded in to you what type of woman you should be looking for. Do you choose to get an erection when you se a hot woman? Of course social conditioning will get in the way of what your really attracted to in some cases.

For example a guy might be extremely attracted to fat chick but thinks that it's wrong. On the other hand som guys might think that blond bombshells har hot just because others think they are hot. Of course there are some guys who deny that they think blond bombshells are hot just because they think that they will never be able to get them and come with excuses like "she's probably a bitch anyway, I'm better off without her".

Do not underestimate the power of our genetic heritage.
