A few days ago, I was thinking to myself about reason, while in a 'strange' mood, and suddenly thought, is there a reason why some men are 'better hung' then others?

I started to think about if it was to do with competition for the more attractive female, who would have more success of birthing a live child.

I'm not saying that humanity is shallow, and who would prefure to go on looks then personality, but many men do, and all men a shallow to a degree.

Just a thought though.

Out of the ordinary for a post here, but not rude.

It is interesting though, why some people are more endowed than others. It's got to be a good 64 thousand dollar question! I mean, given all the spam emails about miracle enlargement products that I have received. And so many women are having breast enlargements these days. I feel sad about that for numerous reasons.

But I have no answer and really no idea regarding size. Unless it is the up-size-me culture?

Looks, hence size, do attract people to each other. But the interesting thing is, what one man finds hot in a woman, another may not. And same for women with men. Best to find the woman who is hot for what you got rather than changing yourself to suit someone you know or don't know.

I fell in love with my husband's soul before I saw him as we met on-line. His looks were definitely secondary to me, and when I first saw him, he seemed like a stranger for the first few minutes. But it only took a few hours for his body to merge with the soul I knew so intimately. And then I fell in love with his body as a projection of his soul. Soon I found that all the categories in my mind of what is the best-looking features were filled with all of his.

So in other words, instead of trying to find someone who fits the bill physically, find someone who fits the bill with heart. Because who knows where your beliefs about physical good-looks came from? Some may have been dictated to your through the media, movies, previous crushes you had on people, pastlives, etc. Falling for looks alone is like falling for the icing instead of the cake. It is easy to make a piece of cardboard look delicious with decorative icing. Ask the bakery shop display window dresser.

I get it, and I think it's definitely food for thought.

I know that a university in either the US or UK did research on symmetry and how symmetry of a person's face is more attractive than non-symmetrical faces.

I wonder if there has been research done about what is considered "attractive" and whether these people are more endowed than non-symmetrical "unattractive" people.

I recall seeing studies and a doco about babies innately being attracted to symmetrical faces, so there is something to it.

As for socially accepted attractiveness, it depends culture and time period. All sorts of traits are considered attractive by some culture at some point in time. Probably.

And maybe other "endowments" are given by the great fairness of the universe to make up for those who are asymmetrical.

Yes that is true... Chinese women used to bind their feet to make them as tiny as possible and such.

"Socially accepted" - now that's an interesting way to put it. It would almost suggest that those born within that social realm would be raised to "conform" so to speak.

About "endowments" - I had that thought too. LOL

After all, does a sense not become enhanced when a sense is lost?

Ooo! Good one! Yes.

Feet binding does seem an extreme conformity (deformity) in a perverted quest for culturally-dictated beauty. Now I'm slathering it on thickly.

And what about some African tribes with lips split for plates and sticks through cheeks for adornment.

Or the times in history when being fat was where it was at!
