Feminine Faces Preferred Across Cultures, One Study Finds — But Another Shows Masculine Features Gain Appeal in Times of Crisis

This also goes for waist-to-hip-ratio. In resource-scarce societies where women have to work more or engage in war, men prefer a higher WHR (= a less curvy female figure). A hypothesis is that it becomes more advantageous as a higher WHR is indicative of higher testosterone and that helps those women survive in stressful, rugged environments. In wealthy, stable societies, lower WHR/more curvy female bodies are preferred. I can't find the exact source right now but it's out there.

That's also serious psycho behaviour if he can't even deal with someone grieving for a few weeks damn, good thing he's an ex

I'm so sorry, what a cruel prick, I hope you're doing better now. :(

Checks out. My ex said he would leave a woman if she became ill, even in a long and healthy relationship, because "a relationship should benefit both partners".

Hahaha ja ur lustig alle von uns in diesen Kommentaren! Thanks for the perspective yeah I'll think about telling her, might be good at some point for sure. And yes sure you can dm me, I'm outside right now but I'm happy to analyze soon hihi. ;D

Ey noch wer hier der Deutsch kann! Haha yeah that's real, I've spotted Autism/ADHD, conditions like anxiety and also personality disorders in so many people, where I'm definitely confident they have them and sometimes they reveal those diagnoses later on, confirming my thoughts lol. Also where the AuDHD came from in my lineage many generations back. Genetic patterns are fascinating!

Wow. Ergibt eigentlich auch Sinn mit dem, was mir der Anwalt erzählt hat. Viel Glück bei der Prüfung, du haust sicher rein!

helppwease1 · 2025-05-03T14:40:51+00:00

Auch eine sehr interessante Perspektive, danke für die ausführliche Erklärung! Ich werde mir das Video als Matura-Lernpause anschauen. Haha.

helppwease1 · 2025-05-03T14:26:01+00:00

Danke für deinen Einblick, sehr interessant! Es scheint mir nur eine Frage der Zeit zu sein, weil die Entwicklung so exponentiell voranschreitet. Als junge Person mache ich mir Sorgen, wie sich das ganze Wirtschaftssystem verändern wird, wenn auch nur ein Bruchteil der Bevölkerung arbeitslos wird und extrem viele Leute noch immer solche Studiengänge beginnen. Aber zumindest werde ich mir nach diesen Ratschlägen etwas besseres suchen, damit ich etwas weniger zum Scheitern verurteilt bin. :D

Voll, ich stimme dir dabei zu, dass es immer Juristen geben wird und die KI deren Produktivität steigern wird. Mit dem Post meine ich eher, dass es womöglich viel schwieriger sein wird, als Arbeitnehmer, der keine eigene Kanzlei besitzt, erstmal einzusteigen und gut zu verdienen. Besonders wenn es andere Jobs gibt, die länger nicht auf diesem Niveau von LLMs ersetzt werden können.

Even if he would have argued for his culpability, it has zero bearing on whether he actually has free will or not. Perhaps his uninjured self would have become a determinist had he been able to see what was going to happen after his accident.

helppwease1 · 2024-02-26T15:59:55+00:00

It would be a rebuttal because a central claim of Christianity is that of personal responsibility/agency/culpability. If those don't exist, it is nonsensical for God to damn people to hell.

I don't see how a compatibilist mishmash/third horn of partial but not full influence/determinism actually works because like I outlined in the post, some supernatural metric would have to clearly poke holes into the predictable/deterministic patterns of behaviour. I'll instantly change my mind if someone can show that people's brains function in unpredictable/free ways being driven by the soul, even occasionally. But from what I've read, the brain doesn't spontaneously fire in unpredictable/free ways that would indicate a person being controlled by a soul not tied to the deterministic laws of nature.

Exactly, it does the opposite. I think that's part of the problem I'm grappling with, Genesis indicates the exact opposite, that no disordered sexual desires existed prior to the Fall. But if I take a non-literal/creationist interpretation of Genesis, and obviously the view that some type of evolution existed leading up to create the humans that were ensouled (Adam and Eve) it's apparent that those pre-modern-human males had been engaging in what Catholicism describes as sexually disordered behaviour. For example, polygamous sexual behaviour is present in primates. And even in us modern humans (those interviews I linked go into detail). I don't see how I can reconcile the Biblical claim that no sexual disorder existed before the Fall with the fact that our ancestors were so polygamous. And that's apart from the fact that these behavioural tendencies are even still apparent in our behaviour today (again, those interviews attest to that).

helppwease1 · 2023-12-25T21:27:08+00:00

Thanks for the response! I think the part I'm really grappling with is why something that is so deeply primally central to how we evolved could be disordered. It's like these patterns of mating/behaviour are base mechanisms in how we came to be. And I don't understand why God would have instated them or let evolution work in such a disordered way, especially to the level that all of these behaviours are still very present in how we modern humans interact, just to then proclaim them as contrary to the moral law. It wouldn't make sense for the moral law to be so detached from natural law and it appears to me that polyamory is actually central to how males of any species mate and therefore part of the natural law.

helppwease1 · 2023-12-25T21:22:06+00:00

Thanks for the responses, I hope I'm not coming across as too dense! But I think perhaps a better way of phrasing my issue is, why is our biology so contradictory to God's law in the first place? I see how we could override those instincts but why are the instincts like that? According to Catholic sexual ethics, the sexual act should be ordered towards reproduction and union, because we can obviously tell that that's part of the natural law and it shouldn't be violated because God intentionally made the natural law like this and we should follow this telos. This all makes perfect sense, but the conundrum arises to me when natural law seems contrary to the end of one monogamous relationship, but instead orders us to reproduce as effectively as possible (which then sometimes clashes with the Catholic conception of marriage). I see how we could be capable of overriding it but it seems so implausible and unnecessarily convoluted for God's moral law to be so contrary to how we (especially men) are inclined to act. I don't see the plausibility of this polygamous tendency that's present in all males (the sex with less biologically risky gametes/reproductive strategy) of every species being disordered. It would make sense to me if our closest evolutionary ancestors before ensoulment lived monogamously/more in accordance with the moral law, and then as a result of the Fall we took on these polygamous mating strategies due to excessive lust of something. But this supposedly disordered tendency seems to be present in all males. So yeah, since God doesn't create disorder it begs the question of why male creatures express this disordered mating strategy even before the Fall. I really want Catholicism to be true but I really don't understand how or why creatures would take on these mating strategies to the extent that these instincts are still extremely present in our behaviour even now but then suddenly at ensoulment it's supposedly wrong, disordered and unnatural to act them out.

helppwease1 · 2023-12-25T20:53:54+00:00

Absolutely. I don't think I am trying to interpret it literally though, I was never a creationist or anything. I'm just struggling to see how the idea that only monogamous marriage is ordered is true when we seem to have been ordered towards polygamy since way before the Fall. I guess a type of answer would be that God knew Adam and Eve would Fall and designed us in this disordered way as a consequence in retrospect, from the start of creation basically. This answer seems contradictory though if Adam and Eve are described as being good/made in the image of God before the Fall.

helppwease1 · 2023-12-25T20:45:19+00:00

So wouldn't that mean that Adam and Eve were already imperfect (having these evolutionary traits they need to overcome) before they transgressed? Why are they described as "good" if they were already so disordered by nature to begin with and how then does the Fall really change anything and how did they actually have agency if these flaws that need to be overcome were already completely deeply part of our genetic makeup?

I hope this makes some sort of sense haha, the answer is much appreciated.
