  • First the article cites men’s attraction to breasts and waist to hip ratio as innate evolutionary selective advantages. Babies can recognize pretty faces. From https://www.calendar-canada.ca/frequently-asked-questions/can-babies-tell-if-youre-pretty

    A further line of evidence relating to infants’ facial representations is infants’ preference for attractive faces. Infants 2 months of age and older will spend more time looking at attractive faces when these are shown paired with less attractive faces (Langlois et al., 1987; Samuels & Ewy, 1985).

    Yet, the author claims that men’s attraction to women with hairless bodies is cultural. She is claiming that advertisement can change people’s perception of beauty. Then how did men’s perception of beauty regarding body hair originate? Did Gillette advertise that women are more attractive without pubic hair? Why has this perception persisted? Persistence is evidence of innateness. If companies including Gillette offered to pay this author and Brandeis University millions to determine how advertisement can change people’s perception of beauty, do you think they can do it? Egyptians shaved their hair to prevent lice. Are bald headed people attractive? Women began shaving their body hair after the invention of the safety razor because they were now able to do it safely. Also, fashion became more revealing.

    Men find stockings on women attractive yet, women don’t wear them as often. Why can’t advertisement change this?

    Evolutionists claim that attraction to earrings on women is because it indicates wealth isn’t satisfactory. Then why don’t women wear it in the nose or eyebrows?

    I’ve been thinking of your hypothesis that female genitalia is an example of something hidden but is attractive to explain men’s attraction to tattoos on women only if they’re small and hidden. Breasts and genitalia are erotic. That’s the reason they’re hidden. Tattoos are not erotic. Also, why wouldn’t a large tattoo on a women’s behind be attractive? A better explanation is that men are attracted to small and hidden tattoos on women is that this doesn’t distract from a women’s body.

    I believe in intelligent design. This is the belief that the universe and life was the result of an intelligent agency. The nature of the designer is unknown because science cannot determine it.




  • I posted the link; you didn’t have to spend time looking for the article.

    The article said that women also find a hairless body more feminine and attractive. Also, the rise of feminism didn’t change this. This suggests that it’s innate. The author believes in evolution. Consequently, he attempts to reconcile a contradiction. Female body hair indicates a girl has reached puberty and can reproduce. Therefore, it would seemingly be a selective advantage for men to be attracted to body hair on women. He explains the contradiction by saying that society is the cause. As I pointed out above, the explanation is wanting. Also, if there is an evolutionary advantage for men liking body hair on women, why would a patriarchal society want women to remove body hair? Since I believe that humans were created, I can simply say that humans were designed to find women without body hair more attractive just as humans were designed to find earrings on women attractive.

    You dislike the Totenkopf tattoo on Platner because of its meaning but if you were an employer, how would you know what tattoos are offensive? Platner said that he didn’t know Totenkopf was a Nazi symbol. It would be simpler for an employer to have employees cover up tattoos at least for upfront employees.


  • Yes, whether men’s preference for no body hair on women is innate or cultural would require further scientific studies.

    Yes, there is no direct relationship between men’s feeling towards tattoos and body hair on women, but it could indicate that men prefer looking at plain skin on women.

    You explained that most men finding tattoos on women attractive if there’re small and hidden is because some things are attractive if hidden. Then there should be nothing wrong with employers requiring women to hide tattoos since they’re attractive only if hidden. Employers are stricter towards up front personnel regarding dress code because they give people an impression of the company. Employers would probably say nothing about tattoos for employees working in nonvisible positions such as stock clerk. Actually, up front men would be required to cover tattoos. You would not tolerate all tattoos. Graham Platner, the Democratic candidate for Senator from Maine was criticized for having a tattoo of Totenkopf, a Nazi symbol. He had it covered up.










  • The Brandeis study indicated that most men find body hair on women unattractive. This suggests that men innately find body hair on women unattractive. There is no genetic lottery, the dice are loaded.

    Your hypothesis that the attractiveness of tattoos on women is that they are hidden is plausible but is counter intuitive since something beautiful would seemingly want to be shown such as earrings on women.

    You contradict your own hypothesis that tattoos are attractive on women if they’re hidden. Consequently, you should have no problem with employers telling employees to cover their tattoos.
