posts indeedy, but uh...how did we go from countering the natural mones of my 19yr girl roommate with lovescent
products to the current power distribution of the sexes in the work place..??

life,
Okay back to your
question...what about over-sanatizing the whole apartment so as to negate any and all mones altogether? Give her a
strong antipersperant for starters lol.

No one is
arguing the difference between looks in students and non-students Gegogi, that was never brought into the picture.
I'm sure a big state school such as Hawaii attracts better looking women than non students, as non students are
more likely to come from lower income segments of the population.
In that case, I'd argue their are more
beasts among the lower class than middle and upper (sorry), which would drain the hot or not scores of the
non-student segment.
I don't see how
over-satanizing an apartment is going to counteract a 19-year-old girl's natural ability to attract the interest of
an older man. I don't think religion should even be brought into this.

situation to be in lol. i think this is every guy's fantasy. maybe it's just a guy being a guy. any guy living
with a good looking girl would have thoughts of having sex with her. me and all the guys i know would have sex with
any good looking girls we come in contact with.
Psychological experiments have actually suggested that things like social ability,Originally Posted by bjf
depression, etc. (things related to social lives) have no correlation with attractiveness.
This is one the most
unintuitive findings I've seen in psychology, but apparently there's strong evidence to suggest it.
It is,
however, a psychological fact that attractive people are perceived to have better social lives, be smarter,
do things better, and make better ________(insert friends, workers, lovers, public speakers, whatever)________ than
less attractive people.
I repeat: being attractive does not automatically make you popular. It does
not automatically make you happy. It does not automatically make you better than anyone else.
However, everyone thinks it does. Weird.
Have you seen all the studies that
say beautiful people are more likely to be deemed as trustworthy, likeable, smart etc blah blah blah??
As for
the automatics, who cares about those, really does not come into play with regards to the hard schools having a
lesser looking chicks.

hell? this idea is unintuitive up the yingyang, where did u read this study? i'd love to take a look at it for
myself.
Hey,Originally Posted by bjf
I didn't say a thing about my school...
Yes, I have seen them. Everyone thinks highly of beautiful
people. No doubt about that. However, that doesn't make them above things like difficulty in the social realm. I
know some beautiful girls I'd rather never see again because they were just annoying...
Light travels faster
than sound...proven by the fact that some people look nice, intelligent, etc. until you hear them speak...
As for which schools have attractive girls, researchers (aka magazine reporters who want a good story) believe
that climate, difficulty, location, party scene, and various other factors contribute to 'good-looking' schools.
In regards to the studies...well, I don't have the references with me, but a few of my classes at PSU showed the
results of the studies that liste factors that did and did not contribute to depression, loneliness,
etc...attractiveness was never an determinant factor.
All of this, as bjf said, has nothing to do with whether a
school is hot or not, but I just wanted to correct a major error in regards to psychology.
If you have a hard
time believing this, think about money. People think that if they had money, they would be happier, better off,
etc. Studies show that this isn't true. Rich people are just as likely to be miserable as everyone else. Is it
so far-fetched as to apply that to attractiveness?

I don't remember where I have seen it, but I have seen an article which reported on theOriginally Posted by lifetransform
study (or one like it) which found that the more physically attractive (in fact, symmetrical) a person is,
the more likely strangers are to like, trust, and want to be with that person.
The same principle was generally
held true for both genders. Either that study or a similar one found that symmetrical people were more likely to
get better paying jobs, be given breaks by the law, found innocent by juries, etc.
A new study just released
suggests that asymmetrical people are more likely to engage in aggressive behavior than symmetrical people. The new
study found that a group of volunteers who had been carefully measured for symmetrical featured reacted predictably
but in opposite ways (based on gender) when tested.
The test consisted of having the volunteers call people
seeking donations for some charitable cause. The people being called were in fact researchers who replied with one
of two scripts: one was aggressive and one was passive.
Men quickly hung up on the aggressive researchers but
got angry with the passive researchers. The more asymmetrical the men were, the easier they were to anger.
Women hung up on the passive researchers more quickly but became angrier with the aggressive researchers. The
asymmetrical women still became angrier than the symmetrical women.
The researchers suggested more study was
necessary, as they could not rule out all factors. For example, men might have hung up on aggressive researchers
sooner simply because they are more used to dealing with aggressive.
Also, symmetrical people may be used to
being better treated in generall, so they may be more tolerant of annoyances.
I think it's still mostly
hypotheses requiring further research. But these kinds of studies do suggest some interesting things about how
people can change their lives.
For example, if you are physically asymmetrical, you can dress more symmetrically,
or perhaps use some cosmetic techniques to downplay your asymmetry.
If you are physically symmetrical, you can
anticipate how people will react to you based on their symmetry (or asymmetry) and adjust your behavior in
negotiating positions. Of course, there is a certain amount of risk-taking involved, and you cannot rely on one
factor to influence whomever you are dealing with.

Women attend a paticular school based on diverse reasons. ChiefI'm sure a big state
school such as Hawaii attracts better looking women than non students, as non students are more likely to come from
lower income segments of the population.
among them is convenience--e.g., they live & work in the area--not stats on hotness, parties or even academic
excellence. Furthermore, female "hotness" is not limited by educational, social, racial or ecomonic barriers. There
are plenty of attractive women from "lower" social classes, the barrios, ghettos, factory towns, et al. Being an
exceptionally well fed and provided for woman doesn't foster beauty or senuality beyond that of a less fortunate
woman.

You're welcome. Stereotyping
female behavior and/or appearance based on education, socioeconomic status, race or national origin is never a good
policy and will usually lead to misunderstanding and strife.

i've heard about this stuff
before, as well. however, what i find difficult is the fact that i don't really know of that many people who are
noticeably asymmetrical. i mean, when i think of my family, my friends, the kids who go to my school, i can't think
of a single person who is noticeably asymmetrical, unless you're counting something like the person has a mole on
one side of the face but doesn't have a mole on the other side. Is that what they mean when they say
"asymmetrical"?

I still think a beta Chik/NPA
combo deal would be a good idea.

character over looks anyway. Besides, everybody is asymmetrical if you look close enough. Heck, even my privates are
crooked...

that is true to a certain extentOriginally Posted by Gegogi
that women focus more on character after a certain age, IF u pass her initial apperance test.
Older women do tend to be less
picky about appearance than younger women. But older women are more likely to have had their children, and
according to evolutionary biology theory-whatever, people who haven't yet had their children are more likely to
look for certain traits that become less important after they have become parents.
Something like that.
Anyway, symmetry is supposedly an evolutionary preference as it implies better health and thus a greater
probability of healthy offspring.
