Interesting. So, by this light; is this an age-old, deeply ingrained

history? And therefore something that should be known but not worth
understanding? It is hard wired - not learned???
Ingrained beyond a doubt -- and for a million and more years past.
Pert breasts [that is of females who are young and fit], and large if
possible, are universally desirable by men, even though mammary
glands the size of a shot of whiskey are entirely adequate for
breast-feeding. In every ethnic group, a female waist-hips ratio of
0.7 is considered the most attractive body shape (narrow waist
denotes youth, hip size signifies relative ease of giving birth) by
males. All other matters being equal a female will choose a male with
a good backside (denoting athleticism). The most desirable feature of
all by both males and females, is perfect left-right symmetry and
vertical alignments (eyes, ears, fingertips). This is assessed
unconsciously but is accurate down to variations of 1 millimetre.
Lack of symmetry can occur when harmful genetic variations have
disturbed normal development in the foetus (though perfect symmetry
doesn't necessarily denote a total absence of harmful genes -- we all
have many suboptimal variations).

Oh well.

Pete, even though I do not like the findings either, I think you may be
projecting. I do not know what sector of society the "responders" were from
but from what is constantly displayed on TV and in the movies (and in bars)
suggests that the responses are likely correct for our male dominated and
misogynist oriented society. Just another example from the new Sodom and
Gomorrah.
But sex is sex and status is status; sex comes in small parts and status is
big.<))

Obvously the responders were just displaying their contempt for the
condescending and insulting test. i would probably be strongly tempted
to do the same thing.
