It's in mens DNA

How many men have you lived with intimately in your life?
I will allow your to count your father and brothers.

Perhaps you were in the military which could explain your view of women?
 

A few months back, while waiting in the Dr's office, I read an interesting article on men's DNA and their choice of mate.
The article was written by an anthropologist who had traveled the world and "tested" men from a wide range of cultures, from the big cities to small villages to jungle tribes.

The men were shown a series of female silhouettes: full body, but no hint of skin color, hair or eye color. Not even bust size, or anything except the actual body shape.

The men were asked to point to the shape that they felt were the most attractive as a potential mate.
The silhouettes ranged from nearly 'stick' figures to heavy 'plus' sizes.
Not surprisingly, neither the stick figures nor the 'plus' sizes faired well.
So, what did ?

The shape most selected was that of a woman with a waist aprox 70 % of the hip size.
Why that particular shape ? It seems that it is indicative of youth and most likely to produce a healthy child.
The anthropologist went on to say that men are not consciously aware of this but that it is written in his DNA.

Below is an example, but not precisely accurate to the ones I saw in that article.

I'm utterly convinced, great post and thread topic! :)

Thank you, @grahamg ,
Though older women may hate it, men are "hard-wired" to select the young and healthy females. Women, the world over, know this very well. Which is why they go to so much trouble and expense to look as young as possible. It is also why so many women lie about their age.
I suppose it's possible that somewhere back in the dim mists of time, there may have been a few men who most desired elderly women, BUT those men left no offspring behind.

Yeah, that's what makes the world go 'round. Each to their own.

I was rarely overwhelmed by the Playmate of the month. A few exceptions, mind you. Hef was drawn toward the busty blondes. I, on the other hand, was always more excited by petite, trim brunettes.
 
If other men were like that man. ;)
The overwhelming percentage are. THAT is precisely why Hugh Hefner made his millions. He had men figured out. He invented the idea of "the girl next door".

Side note:
I've traveled the world and lived a man's life. I've lived in S.E. Asia for 7 years, and I've been able to watch men at play in the bars of S.E. Asia.
Men arrive in droves from every country imaginable. Though the vast majority come from: Australia, the U.K., Canada, South Korea and the USA., with a smattering of men from the Arab nations.
 
Men who actively seek much younger girls and refuse to date women their own age aren’t looking for an equal. They are looking for someone with less maturity, opinions, and agency than grown women. Someone to control, manipulate and possibly take advantage of. This is predatory behavior

A man who believes that a woman his own age is too old to love isn’t a man. He is certainly not man enough to satisfy a mature woman, so he captures a young woman with money and gifts, but she will always leave him in the end!!!! He is a man-child who never grew up and is still reading the comic books.

Well said, true.
 
Yeah, in the months I spent in Guangzhou, the bars were pretty busy.
But....not the highest caliber of clientele.
Almost got thrown in the gulag after hanging with a couple Afrikaans rowdies
Take my word for it, the "upper-crust" have their own clubs. Incredibly expensive. If memory serves me, I think I paid $140 USD to buy 1 round of drinks, and a platter of canapes, for 2 friends and myself.

That may be why I didn't frequent those places

On a side note, I went to a variety show at the top of the hotel
Quite like a neo Ed Sullivan show
Half way thru the show, the MC introed me.....spotlight and everything
I was prodded to stand up
Handed a mic
I thought I said 'thank you' in Mandarin
The crowd busted out in laughter
Later, my broker told me I said something like 'I have to pee'

Great show, though
Those kids could dance!

Yeah, a lot of men (but certainly not all) are dogs and don't have the confidence, character or manhood to form quality relationships with women who are not playing in bars and lead by a few dollars thrown at them. I don't care where you traveled, doesn't make your opinion any more valid than the next person. You appear to be a legend in your own mind, but that can get lonely after awhile. ;)

A lot of men are dogs ? Hmm. Interesting. A lot of women are also dogs. Now , let me see if I recall the name of female dogs. More than a few female dogs have revealed themselves on this thread. The truth seems to enrage them.

Looking for brides?

Just occasionally a post comes along on this forum that makes me laugh my socks off, this is one, well done, (another forum member in particular does this sometimes who probably knows its them I'm referring to, so I won't mention any names here!).

I must admit to you something about myself here, guilty as I probably am of just the traits you've mentioned, I do now tell myself, when I see an attractive woman, that it is probably her mother who might wish to take a romantic interest in me, and if her mother is around, I take a look to see what I think my reaction might be if she took an interest, (if you see what I mean in that convoluted argument?). :)

Charles Darwin couldn't have said it better himself.

Though as I age I find am more and more attracted to older women. Not that I could have much impact on the evolution of our species at this point.
