       [quote]men’s preferences for female facial sex-typicality show a
       much more systematic 94
       pattern. Although there is some research showing
       environment-related variation in facial femininity 95
       preferences (38), more feminine female faces are perceived as
       more attractive unanimously across 96
       cultures (12, 39–41). This may be because it could reveal
       reproductive potential (i.e. fecundity), as 97
       women with more feminine faces may have higher levels of
       estrogen (42).
       ...
       weaker preference for feminine-looking women has been found to
       be 401
       positively correlated with level of national health (38).
       ...
       An interesting finding is that all European countries revealed

       larger differences between male and female average faces than in

       What are your opinions on this about Japan?

       [quote]TOKYO
       Well, there's no denying it any more: the size of Japanese
       mammaries have become larger. We know this thanks to a survey by
       lingerie manufacturer Triumph International Japan, which
       recently made public the results of its research.
       According to Nikkan Gendai (Aug 7), the subjects of the survey
       were Japanese females between the ages of 20 through 60 years.
       And when the data was confirmed, Triumph found that while only
       4.5% of its customers had required a D-cup size bra or larger
       back in 1980, that percentage had expanded to 17.6% by 1990. By
       2018, the percentage had swelled impressively to 53.1%. Or in
       other words, a remarkable twelve-fold increase over 40 years.
       Interestingly, the 17.5-centimetre average measurement from the
       underside of the breast to the top had not shown any appreciable
       change during those four decades. Which means the size of the
       breasts themselves had definitely become larger.
       Naturally, Nikkan Gendai's reporter wants to know why.
       "There are two reasons for this," explained Shuko Sakata,
       manager of brand marketing at Triumph. "The first is changes in
       the diet, such as increased meat consumption and westernization
       in general. The other is because we manufacturers have become
       better at teaching customers the correct way to select a
       brassiere. When putting on their bras, women tend to lean
       forward and by so doing gravity collects fleshy parts on the
       sides of their torso to fill up the cup. That alone can increase
       cup size by as much as two sizes."
       Mutsuko Taniguchi, a veteran stylist with some 40 years in the
       trade, is in agreement.
       "These days when women put on their bra, they press in their
       flesh from four directions -- from the sides below their arms,
       up from their stomach area and then downwards from their
       collarbones. Doing this produces more cleavage and posture
       benefits from an overall improvement," she said.
       Japan has a culture of exposure, says Taniguchi, so women here
       want to emphasize their cleavage, whereas these days western
       females tend to dress in a way that enables their left and right
       breasts independent movement.
       Arata Samon, a doctor and author, estimates that 70 to 80% of
       women's breast sizes are determined by heredity.
       "But for the remaining 20% or so, nutrition has a certain
       effect," he says. "About 90% of a breast is composed of fat
       cells. The levels of body fat are determined at three life
       stages: while still an embryo, while nursing up to around age 3,
       and then at puberty. If one's mother ingests a lot of beef or
       pork during pregnancy, the number of fat cells in the fetus will
       increase. Then what they consume as children and adolescents,
       such as meat, dairy products, fried chicken, convenience store
       sandwiches and so on, will enhance the size of the breasts. If
       you look back at dietary changes over the past 40 years, the
       greater ingestion of fats has definitely had an impact on
       women's breast size."
       And no doubt we can look forward to continued growth in the
       future, the writer says.

       I agree with the article that both heredity and Westernized diet
       are likely to be contributing factors to this phenomenon, which
       aesthetically should be considered a negative development, as it
       is an increase in sexual dimorphism. However, I am more
       concerned with what is considered ideal than what is going on
       with averages. So long as low sexual dimorphism remains the
       ideal, it will be returned to over time, even if current average
       sexual dimorphism is high. The real problem is if high sexual
       dimorphism has become the ideal, which I fear may be the case.
       The bra itself is a colonial-era Western invention intended to
       accentuate sexual dimorphism:

       [quote]Batres and her colleagues found that women with higher

       less masculine-looking male faces as more attractive.[/quote]
       This agrees with my anecdotal observations. I also suspect that
       the converse is true as well. I have a somewhat primitive male
       cousin who, whenever asked about which of several male
       celebrities etc. he considers best-looking, literally says that
       this is not a valid question. The notion that he could consider
       any male to be good looking is alien to him, in other words his
       idea of "beauty" is 100% equated to sexual arousal. And guess
       what? The type of women he prefers is ultra-feminine.

       attractiveness. Positive linear selection was detected for ****
       size, but the marginal increase in attractiveness eventually
       declined with greater **** size (i.e., quadratic selection).
       **** size had a stronger effect on attractiveness in taller men
       than in shorter men. There was a similar increase in the
       positive effect of **** size on attractiveness with a more
       masculine body shape (i.e., greater shoulder-to-hip ratio).
       Surprisingly, larger **** size and greater height had almost
       equivalent positive effects on male attractiveness. Our results
       support the hypothesis that female mate choice could have driven
       the evolution of larger penises in humans.[/quote]

       Is Yamato Nadeshiko (Japanese ideal women) considered to be
       feminine in your book?
       www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2013/09/15/language/nadeshiko-adorable
       -till-they-die/#.Xpb8H_ktWNw
       [quote]The Yamato nadeshiko is renowned for her bihada
       (美肌, beautiful skin), bihatsu (美髪,
       beautiful hair) and yanagigoshi (柳腰, willowy
       hips), not to mention a patented okuyukashisa
       (奥ゆかしさ, a deep and abiding
       modesty) that both defines her personality and adorns her being.
       She’s also about practicality. According to my own observations,
       75 percent of the typical Yamato nadeshiko is made up of an
       unshakeable devotion to kaji (家事, household
       chores) — whether she’s married or not.[/quote]
       ---
       "beautiful skin"
       "beautiful hair"
       If skin is beautiful by being neotenous, then it is not
       feminine. But if skin is beautiful by being estrogen-enhanced,
       then it is feminine.
       "willowy hips"
       Willowy usually means slender, which would not be feminine,
       since estrogen widens hips.
       "deep and abiding modesty"
       If modest in the same way that men are expected to be modest,
       then it is not feminine. If modest in a way that men are not
       expected to be modest, then it is feminine.
       "household chores"
       If also expected of men, then it is not feminine. If not
       expected of men, then it is feminine.
       Our general principle is that any trait considered positive for
       females should be considered just as positive for males, and
       vice versa, or else it is not a trait worth having in the first
       place.

       And then there is this **** (I told you so):
       psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?doi=10.1037%2Fmen0000119
       [quote]Past research has highlighted links between meat
       consumption and masculine gender role norms such that meat
       consumers are generally attributed more masculine traits than
       their vegetable-consuming counterparts. However, the direct link
       between gender roles and men’s food choices has been somewhat
       neglected in the literature. Three studies conducted in Italy
       investigated this link between meat and masculinity. Studies 1
       and 2 analyzed female mating preference for vegetarian and
       omnivorous partners, confirming that women preferred omnivorous
       men (Study 1 and 2), rated them as more attractive (Study 1 and
       2), and felt more positive about them (Study 1) than
       vegetarians. Moreover Study 2 showed that the attribution of
       masculinity mediated this relationship, such that vegetarian men
       were considered less attractive because they were perceived as
       less masculine. Study 3 tested the relationship between the
       endorsement of food-related gender norms and food choices in a
       sample of Italian men. The results showed that men who perceived
       vegetarianism as feminine preferred meat-based dishes for
       themselves and expected their female partners to choose
       vegetarian dishes. Together, these findings show that gender
       role norms prescribing that men eat meat are actively maintained
       by both women and men and do in fact guide men’s food
       choices.[/quote]
       This is consistent with my personal experiences of hearing even
       some vegan women prefer men to not be vegan.
       Yes, vegan men are less masculine. That is a sign of racial
       superiority. The solution is not for vegan men to try to become
       more masculine. The correct solution is to prohibit reproduction
       by women who find less masculine men less attractive (which is a
       sign of those women's racial inferiority).

       What's your opinion on Patrik Baboumian, vegan strongman?
       ---
       Women who find him more attractive than me should not be allowed
       to reproduce either.
       ---
       "But what if that person is bad, even though they are
       androgynous? Shouldn't reproduction based on the reproducers'
       merit?"
       If by merit you mean behaviour, then the problem is that a bad
       person with a strong desire to reproduce and who is aware that
       selection is based on good behaviour will be willing to feign
       good behaviour solely for the sake of being selected for
       reproduction. Thus we will not achieve the objective of
       Aryanization (ie. eliminating heritably ignoble bloodlines), but
       instead will tend to select in favour of people with the
       strongest desire to reproduce, which is the opposite of our
       goal!
       The only behaviour that can be used reliably to decide who
       should be allowed to reproduce is behaviour during early
       childhood, prior to those being selected becoming aware that
       state control over reproduction even exists.
       ---
       Patrik Baboumian is promoted amongst vegans for being strong
       like this without consuming animals.
       ---
       If he can convert to veganism people that otherwise would not
       consider it, I of course support this on a pragmatic level, as
       every former non-vegan becoming vegan - irrespective of their
       reason for doing so - reduces the total number of victims of the
       meat/dairy/egg industries.
       This does not diminish my point that those who would only become
       vegan after seeing him (as opposed to, for example, seeing
       violence against animals, duh!) are, among vegans, the
       biologically inferior fraction who should not be allowed to
       reproduce.

       commercials. Fortunately, celebrities picked for such
       commercials tend to be high in sexual dimorphism anyway, and
       hence not ones that I particularly liked in the first place.)

       When we're judging aesthetics, the main focus is not actually
       about the individuals in the images. It's about the perceptions
       of the individuals who are viewing the images! How a viewer
       reacts to the images and how attractive they consider the images
       is a test revealing the quality of the viewer's aesthetics.
       We must use photos of actual people to discuss about aesthetics,
       because artistic depictions and computer-generated images are
       not always available and not always able to evoke the same
       emotions and reactions as images of real people.
       In other words, when we have these sorts of discussions, we are
       not discussing the ethical quality of someone like Baboumian and
       whether or not he personally should be allowed to reproduce, but
       rather people who view photos of him and find his physical type
       the most attractive.
       If instead of using photos of Baboumian, we used some random
       person from the street, there would be no way to determine the
       ethical quality of that individual solely from looking at them.
       The only thing we could determine is the aesthetic quality of
       whoever looks at the photos! And, indeed, that is what we are
       testing.
       We judge highly masculine and highly feminine body types to be
       aesthetically inferior because these body types are correlated
       with ignoble character traits (i.e. see all the scientific
       studies that have been posted here. Factors such as high
       testosterone/estrogen are often what are influencing both the
       body types and behaviors). Therefore, we hypothesize an
       individual who prefers highly-sexually-dimorphic body types will
       have a higher tendency towards those ignoble character traits as
       well.
       Additionally, over time, selection for highly-dimorphic body
       types will also decrease the average ethical quality of the
       population (again, because selecting for these body types will
       increase average testosterone/estrogen levels in the
       population). This is why racial idealism matters in the long
       run.
       It is not because these body/face types themselves inherently
       cause ignoble behavior. As you point out, Baboumian is vegan,
       and therefore ethically superior to an androgynous-looking
       person who has always preferred a meat-heavy diet. But, we
       aren't judging him as an individual, but instead the people who
       find his body type the most attractive.

       [quote]Recent evidence suggests that in sexual selection on
       human males, intrasexual competition plays a larger role than
       female choice. In a sample of men (N = 164), we
       sought to provide further evidence on the effects of men's
       physical dominance and sexual attractiveness on mating success
       and hence in sexual selection. Objective measures and subjective
       ratings of male sexually dimorphic traits purportedly under
       sexual selection (height, vocal and facial masculinity, upper
       body size from 3D scans, physical strength, and baseline
       testosterone) and observer perceptions of physical dominance and
       sexual attractiveness based on self-presentation video
       recordings were assessed and associated with mating success
       (sociosexual behaviour and number of potential conceptions) in a
       partly longitudinal design. Results from structural equation
       models and selection analyses revealed that physical dominance,
       but not sexual attractiveness, predicted mating success.
       Physical dominance mediated associations of upper body size,
       physical strength, as well as vocal and facial physical
       dominance and attractiveness with mating success. These findings
       thus suggest a greater importance of intrasexual competition
       than female choice in human male sexual selection.[/quote]

       Compare Ra's face with Colonel O'Neill's. Only Counterculture

       A fundamental problem with the incel approach is seen in how
       they say the 10-rated men are "considered attractive by 99% of
       females", even as incels simultaneously claim to despise
       females. So if they despise females so much, why do they accept
       the standards of "99% of females" as the correct standards? The
       simple answer is that they don't really despise females; they
       merely want to look like Chad (but do not).
       In contrast, I do not care if 99% of people are aesthetically
       Eurocentric; that only tells me they are all psychologically
       colonized idiots:

       This is consistent with incels preferring high sexual
       dimorphism, as they certainly would not give a 10-rating to a
       man who looks like Watson!

       Yes, I saw the movie a while back. Only now did I realize that
       the likeness for Ra was Akhnaton. Though the Sun God is
       portrayed antagonistically here has a slave-driver pharaoh of
       Jewish lore. So, the filmmakers could be venting their
       frustrations with the Demiurge while projecting it onto a Sun
       God/Solar Monarch... sad. Any positive portrayals or such kings?
       Also, @90sRetroFan... how would you rate Ryan Gosling (#8 on the
       male side of the chart)? Out of the males presented, he seems to
       be more ovular/Aryan.
       Also also, I just noticed the preference for male facial hair. 5
       out of 10 presented males have it, including the top 4 ranks.

       "how would you rate Ryan Gosling"
       I dislike ratings (1-10) as such because it turns individuals
       into statistics, but I am happy to comment on Gosling's face
       shape. Let's get a bigger picture first:
  HTML https://pyxis.nymag.com/v1/imgs/a38/115/7115b4d2e2ba7aef86ee5773f0bda7a052-29-Ryan-Gosling.rsquare.w1200.jpg
       His face is long but tending oblong - note how the two sides of
       his face are almost like parallel straight lines until the jaw.
       For oval, we want a face that starts narrowing from the eyes
       down (such that [width at mouth] < [width at eyes]). In the past
       you asked me about Edward Norton, remember? Contrast:

       Similarly:

       I was discussing the oblong face with Zea_Mays over email one
       time. Here is our dialogue:
       [quote]Whenever in doubt, I recommend going back to neoteny.
       While we agree that Oblong is less robust than Square, do you
       not think that Oblong is actually the LEAST neotenous of all the
       shapes, even less so than Square? I have seen children with
       Square, Pentagon, Round and Oval faces, but have you ever seen a
       child with an Oblong face? I haven't. Therefore Oblong could be
       viewed as a terminal group for selective pressure that minimizes
       neoteny.
       From a face shape standpoint I agree Oblongs are the least
       neotenous (I've also never seen a child with such a shape), but
       if we also take into account somatotype, many Oblongs seem to be
       rather tall/skinny. This leads me to think that they must have
       at least some interplay with Ovals (who are the 'core'
       ectomorphic type). Perhaps Oblongs are a terminal group rather
       than a 'transition' group, but if shapes like the Square and
       Pentagon--which are associated with core racial groups--can
       transform, surely Oblongs could too?
       Again let's look at how children's face shapes change as they
       become adults.
       Square adults were Square or Round children.
       Pentagon adults were Pentagon, Oval or Round children.
       Oval adults were Oval, Round or Pentagon children. (Note that
       this is the same set as the Pentagon.)
       Round adults were Round, Oval or Pentagon children. (Same set
       again.)
       Oblong adults were Oval or Square children.
       Not only is the Oblong the odd one out in terms of not being
       able to map onto itself, but also the Pentagon, Oval and Round
       taken together map onto themselves. This suggests to me that the
       Oblong is a dead end.
       That is a very good argument. I suppose if I look at the
       transitions in a more "fluid" manner, then having shapes take a
       "detour" through a group like the Elongated Pentagon before
       transforming into Oval makes more sense than going directly
       through the Oblong.
       It is interesting that you mention a connection between Rounds
       and Ovals. It is technically possible for an Oval to be reduced
       to a Round, although I'm not sure how common this is in real
       life.[/quote]
       "Also also, I just noticed the preference for male facial hair."
       For me it's not about whether they shave or not, but the size of
       their facial hair area (which is merely easier to see when they
       don't shave). Someone with a small facial hair area who doesn't
       shave is still lower in sexual dimorphism than someone with a
       large facial hair area who does shave; shaving merely
       temporarily hides it.
       Here is a drawing of Jomon, Yayoi and Yamato (ie. mixed) facial
       hair areas, for example:

       Incels are inferior by the simple fact that they do not rebel
       against the established norms of women attracted to men with
       inferior features but feel a strong resentment at the idea of
       not being like them.
       They are nothing more than failed tribalists and would seize any
       opportunity to be part of bullies. That is why I consider them
       enemies and feel no pity for them.

       [quote]Jimmy Kimmel noticed Monday how President Donald Trump
       gestured when he said he might nominate a woman to replace
       Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died last week.
       (See the monologue below.)
       It seems the president moved his hands in the shape of an
       hourglass &#8213; an outdated gesture for denoting a woman’s
       curves.
       “Who does that?” the talk show host said. “His mouth is always
       lying but his little hands tell the truth.”
       The comedian then showed an example from earlier in the
       coronavirus pandemic. The president spoke of research “models.”
       And once again his hands went to work.[/quote]
       Well spotted!
       Remember, the hourglass shape for women (ie. high sexual
       dimorphism) is an exclusively Western preference. Only Western
       clothes are designed to emphasize this shape:
  HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_corsets
       [quote]The corset first became popular in sixteenth-century
       Europe, reaching the zenith of its popularity in the Victorian
       era. While the corset has typically been worn as an
       undergarment, it has occasionally been used as an outer-garment;
       corsets as outer-garments can be seen in the national dress of
       many European countries.[2]:22[/quote]
  HTML https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2d/P5904296.gif
       For that matter, it wasn't that long ago when even women wearing
       trousers was considered unacceptable in Western civilization
       (whereas women in other civilizations have worn trousers
       alongside men uncontroversially):
  HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trousers#Society
       [quote]Based on Deuteronomy 22:5 in the Bible ("The woman shall
       not wear that which pertaineth unto a man"), some groups,
       including the Amish, Hutterites, some Mennonites, some Baptists,
       a few Church of Christ groups, and most Orthodox Jews, believe
       that women should not wear trousers. These groups permit women
       to wear underpants as long as they are hidden. By contrast, many
       Muslim sects approve of pants as they are considered more modest
       than any skirt that is shorter than ankle length.[/quote]

       Too bad it had to be followed up ridiculing Trump's "small
       hands". I guess you can't wish for everything.
