| [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 | |
| 420 | |
| larger differences between male and female average faces than in | |
| all the other populations.[/quote] | |

| What are your opinions on this about Japan? | |

| east-size-boasts-40-years-of-continued-growth | |
| [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 | |
| levels of attraction to other women were more likely to view | |
| 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. | |

| interacts with body shape and height to determine male sexual | |
| 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. | |

| 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] | |

| A fundamental problem with the incel approach is seen in how | |

| 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 | |

| Eurocentric; that only tells me they are all psychologically | |

| "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: | |
| https://pyxis.nymag.com/v1/imgs/a38/115/7115b4d2e2ba7aef86ee5773f0bda7a052-29-R… | |
| 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: | |
| [img width=1280 | |
| height=941] | |

| 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 ― 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: | |
| 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] | |
| 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): | |
| 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] | |

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