just like humans created geometry, another branch of mathematics.

and I do believe Math was orginally created by women.

[SONIC GAIL]

Can't believe this thread is still going! Well done I say.

Sure..to make a good cake. It can be useful.

pie is so much better than cake.

I think it is too easy to discount the actual genetic source for males obsessions with whatever females they find attractive.
nature versus nurture sure, but in the case of many men's overwhelming lust it is probably purely genetic. society teaches specifics about the male/female relationship, and in patriarchal society young men are definitely taught to view women as objects, which further reinforces what the genes are already telling young boys.

there are not many species which diferentiate sexually who do not have a wild difference between the appearance of the male and the female. in some it is the male which is the predominant bearer of "beauty" to attract the female (peacocks for example), and in many it is the female that is the one bearing the "beauty" of the species. (of course beauty is a relative term when seen from human eyes)

In Humans the female is generally seen as more beautiful than the male, to both men and women. to many people a naked woman is a naked woman while a naked man is a naked ape.

I only experience overwhelming lust for women who I percieved to be as equal to or greater than myself (math).

it has nothing to do with physical appearance.

I'm a soul man.

oh, and PIE, please.

LOOK! I found my favorite pie on a site called "math for primates"!!!!

there's MATH in PIE!!!!!!

[gualbert]

Yes, how to part a pie (or a cake) in 5 equal parts is rather tough.

Isn't the earth populated by more women than men? Rethorical question, I know.

I think a naked women is more beautiful than a naked man. In a "if you could have a naked statue of a man or a woman in your house, which would you choose?" sort of way.

what I have read worldwide is around 51% female 49% male, plus or minus

except in China where they are breeding baby boys at a prodigious rate.

This is geometry, not algebra, space.

[Genteel Death]

You seem to be talking abou two different things. Human eyes can see the appeal of both types of bodies, and still feel like the animal instinct which pushes us towards a particular sex organ doesn't find the overall aesthetical merits of our least sexually preferred gender enough to warrant objectification of both, at least in the majority of cases. Sure, you can try anything out and perhaps even enjoy the experience, yet unless you regularly have intercourse with them, you can hardly claim preference as such.

[Genteel Death]

Rob, did you ever find yourself in front of an obviously good looking dude and thought ''wow he's nice looking, still not enough for me to have sex with him''?

[Rob Instigator]

Nope. Ussually it is more like "I bet the ladies find this guy super handsome."

[Genteel Death]

Well, not much different than admitting that you can recognize male beauty as well as female.
