i disagree. woman have a ton of advantage over men in the looks department.
i can name a few examples.
1. hair- most females have smooth hair, unless they are black. in males its different, most men bald prematurely and some have rough steely hair. its very rare for a men to keep a smooth and full hair to the age of 40 and beyond. (some Europeans have 'good' hair)
2. skin - i think this is a no-brainer. females have smoother,softer and more pale skin. men have thicker skin,rough, full of hair
3.body - both men and woman have their own advantages when it comes to body. but in men, most of our strength comes from upper body(especially from shoulders to back) + we have bigger bones. this is hardly attractive.
in females however, they are naturally curvy,big fat ass, tits. with no extra work on their behalf. working out is an added benefit.
4.face- this might get into esoteric lookism territory but ill try to sum it up. woman have sharper features (v-shaped jaw,narrow pointy chin,pointy ears,sculpted nose etc.) this are feminine traits, men usually have big potato faces because we have to endure damage during battles so our features are flatter and less pronounced.
notice how everytime we look at a beautiful man, its often a man with feminine features like long stringy hair or pale skin
read my comment above
I agree with hair only. Balding is the most brutal shit men can go through.
But in terms of skin, Asians have generally thicker skin than europeans, and they age better, and don't have that much problems with reddness or visible vessels. That's why men age better too. Smooth soft skin isn't an advantage, maybe visually and before a female turns 20. And pale? You kidding? Skin tone depends on race, treatment and the area where a person lives. Plus, tanned bodies always look better.
As for the body, here men are much luckier in general. Even a chubby man isn't as ugly as an equally chubby female. Men rarely have cellulite, and with a good face and frame, 20-30 extra pounds look fine. While a skinny female loses attraction points if she has cellulite or her thighs touch. Plus, it's easier for men to gain muscle and lose fat.
With face, you are completely wrong. I've been studying drawing and painting for 12 years now, including anatomy. And those differences you names are not true. The general differences between a male and female face are (accounted for a race btw): square vs round chin, "sculpted" face (due to less fat in men, therefore male faces are "sharper" not female, in general), lower brows, square vs round eye sockets, higher and square forehead, smaller lips, bigger nose, straight forehead (female is rounded without protruded eyebrows). Pointy ears? Sculpted nose? You watch too much anime or Tolkien. Men have bigger and more pronounced everything — head, ears, nose, wider chin. Reduced to simple shapes, females are circles, males are squares.
Why are you bringing battle damages? I was talking about genetic differences, not acquired traits.
So, all the male traits I mentioned are Chad traits. The further from the traits a male goes, the more feminine and uglier he will look. A good frame for a male is a masculine frame. A bad frame is a feminine one. A good chin is a wider square chin, a masculine chin.
Sure there are some common traits that will be bad for both genders, like a tiny chin, or a very long nose. And there are traits that look good on both, like dark and thick limbal rings.
But a good looking man is rarely feminine unless he has pronounced and proportional male traits as well.
