This is what women should admit they mean when they say preferences. Preferences and standards are not the same.
A man CANNOT be short, ugly, or framelet and still be attractive to women. That's standards.
Preferences come into play when women want to pick which Chad is the best

I’d be funny if these Chads had acid thrown in their face and they’ll go from being worshipped by foids to being treated like shit.

Exactly, before preferences come into play a certain standard has to be met first. Foids love using the word preference to instill hope into sub5s who dont fit the standard they have in mind to begin with. No one is gonna prefer an old Nokia over a new iPhone because its objectively obvious that the iPhone has a higher standard of tech, but some people might prefer a new Android over a new iPhone (since the standard for both of these technologies is the same).

Do you notice how they all have the same hairstyle? So much for being open.

This is what happens when you give the people technology, they end up wasting hours scrolling on TikTok and Instagram. Only the government should have the right to use the internet, then all dating apps and social degeneracy would go bye bye.ikr

"Symmetry Is Related to Sexual Dimorphism in Faces: Data Across Culture and Species"
This paper investigates the relationship between facial symmetry and sexual dimorphism, positing that these traits serve as cues to heritable fitness benefits, influencing mate selection across cultures and species.
Symmetry Is Related to Sexual Dimorphism in Faces: Data Across Culture and Species
BackgroundMany animals both display and assess multiple signals. Two prominently studied traits are symmetry and sexual dimorphism, which, for many animals, are proposed cues to heritable fitness benefits. These traits are associated with other potential benefits, such as fertility. In humans...
"Symmetry Is Related to Sexual Dimorphism in Faces: Data Across Culture and Species"
This paper investigates the relationship between facial symmetry and sexual dimorphism, positing that these traits serve as cues to heritable fitness benefits, influencing mate selection across cultures and species.
Background and Theoretical Framework
- Complexity of Animal Signaling: The study acknowledges the increasing recognition of complexity in animal signaling, where multiple traits are displayed and assessed. These traits can enhance the accuracy of assessing a single factor or signal different facets of an individual's quality.
- Sexual Selection: The paper is grounded in sexual selection theory. It considers both intrasexual competition (same-sex competition) and intersexual selection (mate choice), with a focus on the latter's application to human facial attractiveness.
- Indicator Mechanisms: The study contrasts "runaway" selection (where preferences are arbitrary) with indicator mechanisms. Indicator mechanisms propose that traits are preferred because they correlate with phenotypic or genotypic quality. Handicaps, which are costly traits, honestly signal quality because only high-quality individuals can afford them.
- Symmetry and Sexual Dimorphism as Quality Signals: The authors highlight symmetry and sexual dimorphism as two traits thought to relate to mate quality. Fluctuating asymmetry (FA) reflects an individual's ability to maintain stable development under environmental conditions. Symmetry is linked to various quality indicators, including growth rate, fecundity, and survivability. Similarly, sexually dimorphic traits (e.g., larger jawbones in males, linked to testosterone) can signal quality through associations with hormones and immune function.
Methodology: A Detailed Look
- Image Acquisition:
- Europeans: Standardized lab conditions, neutral expressions, direct gaze. Participants were primarily UK-based university students.
- Hadza: Variable outside lighting conditions. Images were selected based on young adult appearance, neutral expression, and direct gaze. Verbal consent was obtained.
- Rhesus Macaques: Images extracted from video footage of a free-ranging population. Only full-face images with neutral expressions were used. Macaques were identified via tattoos.
- Measurements:
- Symmetry: Horizontal asymmetry was calculated from x-y coordinates of six bilateral points on the face. Deviation from the midline (calculated from interpupillary distance) was summed. A threshold was applied to remove outliers.
- Sexual Dimorphism: Four ratios were calculated from distances between specific facial features:
- Cheekbone Prominence (ChP)
- Jaw Height/Lower Face Height (JH/LFH)
- Lower Face Height/Face Height (LFH/FH)
- Face Width/Lower Face Height (FW/LFH)
- Procedure: All images were normalized on interpupillary distance to account for variations in camera distance.
Key Findings
- Significant Correlation: A significant positive correlation was found between facial symmetry and sexual dimorphism in all three populations (Europeans, Hadza, and Rhesus Macaques).
- Perceived Sex-Typicality: Human raters judged that composite images of symmetrical faces were more sex-typical (masculine for males, feminine for females) compared to composite images of asymmetrical faces.
Conclusions and Significance
- Developmental Link: The study suggests a biological link between symmetry and sexual dimorphism during development.
- Honest Signals: The findings support the idea that symmetry and sexual dimorphism act as honest signals of quality, influencing mate choice.
- Universality: The authors propose that the signaling properties of faces are universal across human populations and potentially extend back to primate ancestors.
- Indicator Models Supported: The association between symmetry and sexual dimorphism supports indicator models of sexual selection, where traits are preferred because they signal underlying quality.

Bro, we know it's not subjective. JFL
Thanks for the details, though.
