Or they're little kids trying to find in their minds the equivalent of prince charming, which Big Mac seems to fill at least on a superficial level.

In the mind's eye of the CMC, Cheerilee is perfect. So they wanted someone who would be perfect for her to match. I mean hey, they're kids, right? What do they know about character?

But if it makes you feel better, you could always argue the reason why Cheerilee put down Mac's early advances was because she secretly had a crush on Too Smelly.

Or you know, they simply have criteria for attraction like all mammals.

Everybody has different tastes. Everybody 'chooses' in real life. Not everybody are totally non-critical saints. It's a fact of life. Get used to it.

>Implying we should fall instantly in love with the ugliest, most deformed beast ever.

Dude, STFU with your hipster/hippy/selfrighteous/moralistic/politicallycorrect bullshit. We are not pure spirits that get only attracted to the mind. We are, HUMANS, we are ANIMALS.

Beleive me or not, but we DO have instincs. And our instincs tell us to mate with something beautiful and something healthy. It's basic species survival we are talking here.

Men seek women with nice hips to carry a child, nice tits to feed a baby, and a nice overall look to make sure she is healthy.
Women seek men that are big and strong, to protect her and her familly, and rich or at least with a steady income so he can provide for her hand her childs. Also, a nice overall look to make sure he is healthy.

It work that way in nature too. The ugly and weak die out, the beautiful and strong survive and pass it's genes on.

Deal with it.

Oh, and 8/10. Excellent trolling.

The heuristics for choosing a man:
1) taller than the average man and heavier than me? Go to step 2 (otherwise go burn in a fire)
2) good looking? sporty? social? wealthy? tattoos? play guitar? very intelligent? (...) have at least two, otherwise meh.

Yes, bitter and ronery. No, own heuristics not significantly nobler.

Wow. I really pity you if that's what you believe. I really hope you are rich and handsome, for your own sake.

Except People have preferences and preferences aren't universal. I like thick women, my brother likes skinny women. I like thick asses, my brother likes small tits. It's all about preference.

Kanrabat, U MAD?
OH LARGE, HE MAD.

Also, I agree with #1179537 and majob. Everyone has their own preferences and it's not all based on narrowly-defined instincts. Humans are more complex than that.

Also, "Instinct" has a "t" at the end.

Dear persons who chose to remain within anonymity. You will never admit it to yourself, but deep down, it's what we humans seek when seeking a mate.

Women, are you sure you want to mate with a weak and piss poor man?

Men, wanna mate with the ugliest beast ever?

I don't think so.

People have standarts when it comes to choosing mates. I guess it's for the greater good I'll never pass my borderline-depressed underachiever genes to the future.

At least now I have ponies for 22 mins of escapism per week.

I'll take the bait.

People choose mates based on superficial aspects, height being one of the most important of them? I think that's more true for women than men, but it's most certainly true, I think.

But things aren't always that simple. I believe that as your "romantic stock" decreases, the less likely you are to appeal to instincts (which do exist and we do adhere to) along with social standards of beauty and romantic desirability. That's because a person who does not have as much capital is less likely to be desired on a surface, "prerequisite" level and to get past that level Anon 532 was talking about:

Anon 532 said:
1) taller than the average man and heavier than me? Go to step 2 (otherwise go burn in a fire)


That isn't to say that it is the sole determinant (and most certainly isn't to say that it's right): Once you're dating or married, who you actually are plays heavily in the happiness of the relationship. For some people, it's just harder to get into a relationship in the first place.

Anyway, I'm digressing a bit.

Simply, a short/ugly/weak-looking male isn't as likely to be seen as a desirable mate. And from what I've seen, when these type of males end up in a heterosexual relationship, they tend to end up with girls who don't seem particularly desirable on a superficial level either.

The times where this doesn't hold up tends to involve a restrictive subpopulation where a person cannot or chooses to not to date outside of a certain subculture/geographic area/any construct that structurally restricts your prospects.

Which is why I believe I've seen more "unexpected" couplings in rural areas and within conservative Christian communities (two subpopulations that I know a bit about) than I would in populations that don't have that structural or social restriction on who you date.
  • If you only see a few people in life and you have little chance of getting out of the area (i.e., rural area with little education,) then you're likely to not care as much about things that further restrict your "fish in the sea."
  • Same goes for conservative Christian communities. You're not going to date someone who does not believe as you do, so I'd bet that you'd end up not caring as much about other factors or you'd end up being more easily attracted to someone who shows interest in you.

    I think you'd find the same thing in other restrictive communities as well, like sexual minorities and cults.

    To sum (like a social scientist would,) everything has some truth to it here, and it's hard to say one is the simple answer. Humans are messy: even if we're all exposed to the same forces (e.g., instinct, social pressures, discrimination, etc.,) we don't all respond in the same way.

    Personal preferences, instincts, social standards (because wide hips aren't universally desired in some communities) and practicality all likely play into it. Some people have trouble getting a date or getting into a relationship based upon these things. But it's nothing to be bitter about...if you can help it (and it's most certainly isn't difficult.)

    Faving, because this discussion is fun. Troll bait is tasteh.

    Who the hell says that any of these stallions would want Cheerilee anyway? She's sweet but they could be taken, gay, or find she reminds them too much of their moms. Maybe the tall one has a thing for unicorns and the short guy is looking at Mayor Mare-types and going "Oh yeeeah".

    Or maybe Cheerilee and that clown would have totally hit it off. The girls chose based on what they like, not their teacher's turn ons. Hell, little kids shouldn't even KNOW their teacher's turn ons.

    Actually a lot of my female friends prefer kinder, gentler men, including my attractive friends. The Idea that you have to be a testosterone fueled alpha-male to attract women simply not true. Likewise the argument that every human is attracted to the exact same mold of person is equally ridiculous.

    Too Short would never be able to mount Cheerilee. Too Tall would have to crouch to mount Cheerilee. These kids know that it's all about the free sex. :)

    I really Hope it's troll-bait because Eugenics has been marketed to us in an insidious fashion. Just another way to keep People in the Cattle-Chute, believing that doing what Popular Culture projects onto them is the Truth. What takes more Guts? Maintaining a Tough-Guy, Alpha Facade because you are afraid not to? Or being authentic to what your impulses and feelings truly are, even if it means you might not meet an arbitrary standard of success?

    This isn't so much Eugenics as a failure to recognize that opposites can attract.

    That, or they're making sure the stallion is bedroom compatible.
