[quote=CA renter]Both men and women can be equally superficial, but I would also have to add that women have a legitimate reason for seeking a mate who can provide the resources necessary to raise a family. That doesn’t mean that he has to be wealthy, but he can’t be a dirt-poor bum with no prospects in life, either. Of course, some men would counter that in order for men to mate, they would have to find their partner attractive enough to make it happen.[/quote]
And there is abundant evidence that female “attractiveness” relates to the health of the mother and likely ability to produce healthy offspring. So 6packscaredy is right, form is function. On the other hand, if we all followed our most basic instincts the world wouldn’t be a great place. . .
