What is physical attraction built on ?
It seems we can’t really explain why we’re physically attracted to people. For example, dolphins don’t seem to think about what makes one dolphin more attractive than another. Even when we try to explain it, we hit a wall. What even drives attractiveness? Have you ever wondered this? Ideals change over time. In the past, people aspired to be fat, while in the 90s, they aspired to be skinny. Now, men aspire to have abs and be muscular, and women aspire to have a good hip-to-waist ratio and a flat belly. This total variation suggests there’s no biological basis; it’s all psychological. But what causes this psychological attraction?
I mean do we know any neurological reasoning of why attraction happens? Not random factors but an actual process of mental reasoning or is there a zone in the brain that wire that ? I am just tired of hearing every theory revolve on what cavemen could have thought back then.
