Is the human population based on attraction?


Recommended Posts

Historically most marriages were arranged by parents. This idea of people marrying for "love" is a recent development in human history.

Marrying, maybe, but I don't think it's unreasonable to point out that the association between marriage and mating has never even come close to approaching absolute in human history.

But in modern day, is their any similarity on how we pick our partners with animals? Is it because of their beauty? Or another reasons. Now, I know people say looks aren't everythings and all that stuff. Which I agree. But subconsciously, maybe in some hidden animal part of us, is that how we pick

It's not even sub-conscious. If we didn't rely heavily on looks in picking our partners, there'd be no reason for a saying like "looks aren't everything" to exist. There's no reason to make that observation if looks aren't frequently treated as everything.

 

By way of example, kidneys are also not everything when it comes to partner selection, but nobody ever bothers to point that out because pretty much nobody cares about your kidneys when choosing a partner.
