Hey everyone!  I wanted to post something exciting -- if this isn't allowed, I apologize and I'll get rid of the post.

I  know that some people here aren't really Peta fans, but then again, we are all pretty much anti fur so I thought I'd share this with you guys/gals.  If you aren't into Second Life yet, the only thing I can compare it to is a

Thats fine, its your prerogative, but in my theory we are mammals, not avians. In mammals, the male is usually the dominant, non-choosy one with more of a sex drive. The female may have intercourse with many males to insure that she gets pregnant and the males have as much intercourse with women to spread their seed. Women DO choose, I never said they didn't. They are looking for the more attractive male for more attractive/healthier babies.

Actually -- to think of it this way: species are always on the look out for the 'healthier' mate -- to ensure healthy offspring. This is why our ideas of whats attractive have changed.

In the middle ages and a couple hundred years afterwards, it was popular to be pale. Pale was the color of people who stayed inside most of the time, they weren't out in the fields working -- they were wealthier. Therefore, they were 'healthier' and provided more for a baby.

Today, the popular skin color is 'tan'. That is because now, to be tan means you don't work in an office all day and you are out at your leisure, shopping, hanging out by the beach/pool etc.

What is attractive changes with our culture because of what appears to be 'healthier and stronger' at the time. But all in all, it has to do with biology.
