A woman's sexual attractiveness depends on her youth and beauty. A man's sexual attractiveness is a more complicated matter. It mostly comes down to what makes him useful to woman. Social status, charisma and resources is what it mostly is about. Looks factor into it, too. But because social status is a zero sum game and because there are far more women than there are high-status men to go around, it is instinctual for the human female to substitute potential for high status for actual high status when considering the eligibility of young men. Men exposed to higher than average levels of testosterone throughout their development from uterus to adulthood are generally more attractive to women than the rest. Testosterone has a tendency to make secondary sexual characteristics and masculine psychological traits more pronounced. The latter includes things like willingness to take risks. A certain level of risk taking is necessary for a man to be able to amass resources and become useful to women.</p>\n<p>If you mean attractiveness of personality in general, then the answer would be much more complicated. Generally, people who are comfortable in their own skin are considered attractive because they radiate self-acceptance and thus acceptance of others. </p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"f3s9s6m85","appParentAuthor":"dorislanda","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
