FWIW my sister and I distinguish two types of attraction. Forgive me, we came up with this when we were v young but it’s still useful: “potential” and “execution.” My male family members have no idea what we are talking about:

“Potential” is like how attractive are they in a photograph, like a drivers license or while sleeping or something, where you can’t see any expressiveness or personality. “Execution” is the opposite, how attractive they are based on animation/expressiveness/personality

this is interesting! remember reading some stuff a while back about how when asked to rate empirical attractiveness men rating women tend to have more consistent inter-rater agreement than women rating men do. maybe women put more weight on the execution side then men?

Fascinating.... Huh. Really interesting. Makes sense, evolutionarily? Protection requires more than just physical strength/symmetry, fertility- not so much? Also makes sense as something that is outdated for our world today.

yea it's a slippery slope. it can help explain some of the macro stuff, and be helpful in understanding why some tendencies and patterns exist, but it's not actually useful for predicting much irl because any individual is way more complex than just what their genes say
