So strange. Do you know that female lipstick simulates sexual arousal? Can you imagine a man showing up for a business meeting with a giant artificial boner straining at his pants? Yet lipstick is perfectly acceptable in the business world.
boom "The association between lip colour contrast and attractiveness in women's faces may be attributable to its association with oxygenated blood perfusion indicating oestrogen levels, sexual arousal, and cardiac and respiratory health." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20942361
again - well known... but men wear suits with shoulder pads... look up 'broad shoulders'.. in the sexual arrousal category
Except that men’s shoulders don’t get magically broader when they get aroused.
* sexually aroused/possessing high oestrogen levels/displaying excellent cardiac and/or respiratory health. You had to throw half a fruit salad away to pick out THAT cherry.
You quoted an abstract. Also says "may" Additionally, I think the latter half of your original comments are the most unappealing.
If I quoted an abstract to support any of my arguments in my psych classes, science classes, speech classes, debate classes, or writing classes, I would get an F on that assignment.
And for what it's worth, the actual study he cited says multiple times things like "further research is needed" and "studies on this would be valuable" in regards to the theories presented about why redder lips are associated with femininity. All the study actually proves is that
redder lips (along with reduction in blueness in the lips, among other things) is perceived as being more feminine and as something that makes feminine faces more attractive. The reasons why that is (like "it shows sexual arousal") are theories presented. And those theories are
the things the paper says "more research is needed" about. When the abstract states those theories, they're basically just listing all the things that might make a woman's blood more oxygenated, which causes redder lips and higher contrast between the lips and facial skin.
Just a general good rule to go by for everyone... actually reading the source you're citing is usually a good idea.
A scientific abstract does not show conclusions. And that one is all about perception anyway.
I said elsewhere in this thread... he clearly didn't even read the study as it's not even about what he's arguing. he seems to think it's study about showing the reasons people find lipstick "attractive" and that his quote is the results. That's not the case. The study is about
the levels of contrast between lips and facial skin shade and how it effects people's perceptions of attractiveness and sex typicality. It doesn't claim to come to any conclusions as to the WHY of those things. It presents some theories, and follows them by saying more research
is needed. Predictably, the study doesn't remotely prove what he thinks it does. And even within their theories, he's over emphasizing the "sexual arousal" part, as it's only a tiny part of the things listed among reasons why blood might be more oxygenated.
I think the operative term here is 'may be' as in this is an opinion.
You have gone absolutely crackers. Get help.
Or maybe you are just vastly overthinking this I wear lipstick, not to attract people, but just because I wanna look good.
