personality, alot of money (security) or some other "good" trait that he posses to keep in company with an
attractive female. You will also often find very attractive women with unattractive men, for one good reason, a
sense of security. Reason behind this is that they believe that the unattractive male will be less likely to wonder
off and stray and seek other partners and play up in the relationship and hence thier preference in being with a
less attractive male. Its very common, and ive seen it in my experience and even talked to woman in that type of
relationship who admit to it.
Men who are supposed to be "attractive" are often seen as players.
To further
this, women choose partners that resemble thier father, in personality and even in looks. What is interesting, is
that if a womans father is bold and lost his hair at a young age, you will often find the daughter attracted to men
who are also bold and have lost thier hair. etc...
As for the mice theory, it might ring true for female mice
choosing male mice that posses female mice scent, but a few million years of evolution to what we have evolved into
now, humans with the extra brain size and, I think thier is a greater complex social reason for people choosing
mates or long term relationships, humans tend to ponder things with thier big cerebal cortex, we do not live by
instinct like mice. A woman can fall for her perfect mate and even in "love", even without smelling him! perfect
example is like over the internet, it happens everyday day, if her predifined notions are met I dont think scent
even plays a part. Although I believe in pheromones (otherwise I wouldnt wear them and frequant this site so much)
and they do work in the physical world initially as an attractant, but they do not hold a relationship together and
nor does a female select her life long mate based on scent, they are not a "glue", thier are more complex reasons
involved.
