A continued discussion in class of attraction brought up some interesting points in yesterday's lesson. We talked about attractiveness from an evolutionary perspective and I found it very intriguing. I definitely agree that many features that we find attractive in others may very well stem from early necessities in a mate. Even though strength no longer ensures success in our society, it is still considered to be very attractive in a male. Yet at the same time, I think that attractiveness has developed with the times. Men who are intelligent and/or tech savvy are considered attractive for their ‘provider potential’. I also think that with the evolution of feminism, it has become increasingly attractive for males to take on certain roles that were previously primarily feminine, as well as for females to take on roles that were previously primarily masculine.
