Understanding Male Attraction ( it's more than you think)

That said, regarding size of a woman, studies have shown the attraction changes based on economic factors. They gathered a bunch of data on it, that I read about some years ago. (It also changes for men).

So, it isn't likely to be the pregnancy suspicion thing.

Attraction ques are hardwired over hundreds of thousands of years if not millions of years. It's the wise software that maximizes the chance that  your genes go on. Modern humans are roughly  only 200.000 years old .

Economic factors are a very modern variable. It definitely can be a factor but most likely attraction to bigger women is more linked to ethnicity ( some races tend to be more chubby )  or your genetic background : "was storing body fat a proven effective survival strategy for your ancestors? then you will find females that store body fat attractive "

Being pregnant is absolutely for sure an attraction killer for new partners, period. It's crystal clear from a male POV.  It's almost the same non-existant degree of attraction as if you were thinking of having sex with a relative. 

 

Unless they are your partner, or they have some sort of fetish, or unless there is absolutely zero downside for the intercourse happening, chasing that woman to make anything happen will not cross your mind . (ofc there are exceptions )


Female's risk of sex ( evolutionary speaking ) is DEADLY. Getting pregnant at the wrong time or without a social support structure is the end of you ( a social support structure is extremely important during pregnancy, thats one of the big reasons why women are more social, calibrated, empathic, caring... )

Male's risk of sex ( evolutionary speaking)  is not pregnancy,  but getting your head smashed with a rock by a gang of males for having sex with a protected / taken woman. ( Which is actually  one of the big reasons why approach anxiety exists for men )

So sex with a possibly pregnant woman is shooting yourself in the foot . Not effective at all from an evolutionary POV. You can possibly die and your genes wont even be forwarded. ( fun fact : this is one of the theories of why auto-erotic asfixiation even exists . " one last ejaculation before death" )

But yeah different people have slightly different preferences. Some preferences have an evolutionary background and some preferences have been developed and shaped  thoughout their current lifetimes . Most men have a notoriously low standard anyways

I already knew about the impact of a smooth skin because it signals youth, but recently I saw myself feeling attraction because of a girls exposed back was super smooth with no zits blackheads or anything whatsoever and it got me thinking about how healthy her body is ( bonus fertility points )

I found interesting the actual science of women's fertility decline , and increased chance of complications during giving birth. This gives some more explanation for  men's biological obsession and attraction with youth. Damn nature and evolution is intelligent and ruthless

" Women are born with their lifetime supply of eggs, and the number of available eggs decreases with age. By the mid-30s, the ovarian reserve is substantially lower, affecting fertility.

At Birth, females are born with approximately 1 to 2 million oocytes (eggs), at Puberty: This number drops significantly to about 300,000 to 500,000 oocytes by the time a girl reaches puberty.

By her mid-30s, a woman's ovarian reserve is substantially diminished. Approximately 10% of her maximum ovarian reserve remains.

By the time of menopause, a woman typically has about 1,000 eggs left, though these are generally not viable for fertilization.

As women age, not only does the quantity of eggs diminish, but the quality does as well. Older eggs are more likely to have chromosomal abnormalities, increasing the risk of miscarriages and genetic disorders in offspring.

The risk of miscarriage increases with age, particularly after age 35, largely due to the higher likelihood of chromosomal abnormalities in the eggs.

Older women face higher risks during pregnancy, including conditions like preeclampsia and gestational diabetes. They are also more likely to experience complications that can lead to preterm birth or require interventions such as cesarean sections. "

Men look for sex objects, women look for success objects

No. 
An ugly and stupide rich man is way less attractive than an poor but good locking and cool man. While he is not homeless neither.

A couple of days ago I was crafting myself a DIY necklace and it got me thinking how much effort it actually takes to source all the materiales, create the tools, use tools proficiently and go through the entire process of assembling the piece of jewlery. 

I can definitely see how in tribal times jewlery could be used as a physical display ( or flex ) of abudance of resources of your group, abundance of free time away from basic survival needs and even display of skills. This may work both for men and women. This is obviously a minor thing.

People still flex this way even as of today, but it's not that impressive these days anymore for obvious reasons
