Study: Women all seem to want taller men

[LostInAnomie]

16. These threads always crack me up for a number of reasons.

1. The number of people the use anecdotal outliers to discount the studies. "Nope, I'm 5'8" and my husband is 5'6" so this can't be true!"

2. The people that can't accept that in general people find certain physical features more desirable. We get it you're short, over weight, bald, flat chested, old, etc. That doesn't mean anything is wrong with you. It just means that in general people find some of those traits less than ideal. It sucks and it is unfair, but it is just a fact of life. Fairness has no say in what people are attracted to.

3. The people that pretend that physical attractiveness has nothing to do with why people pick a mate. It's not everything, but it's naive to pretend that most people should pick a mate on personality alone.

4. The people that pretend that because you find certain physical feature attractive it make you a "pig" or you attraction is somehow illegitimate. It's not. Most humans are sexual beings and a large part of sexual attraction is appearance. It shouldn't be the only thing you base your attraction on, but it doesn't make you attraction any less valid than the "deep spritual connection" others pretend to have.

I could go on, but I hate DUing on my phone.
