In animal world,generally Males appear more attarctive than Females. But not in Humans.
Have you ever noticed difference between a peacock and a peahen, or between male sparrows and female sparrows? You will notice that in almost whole animal kingdom ,males are more attractive and beautiful than the female counterparts.
But when it comes to human beings, we find that females are more attractive physically than males on an average .
What is the reason behind this anomaly? Let’s read it.
As they say,it’s all in our minds. It’s not true that males in human world are less beautiful/good looking than females.
Being a male, one is naturally inclined to find women more beautiful compared to men. Its the sexual attraction towards women which makes males in human beings find women more appealing physically.
Since it has been a patriarchal society globally throughout history, our literature, arts , cinema, media, etc portrayed women as more beautiful in popular world thinking. The vivid description of breasts,hips, lips, hairlock of women was done more prominently by male authors, poets, directors, art producers, painters and sculptors throughout history. Same description and portrayal was lacking from the other side. Its only lately that males have also been depicted as sexually attractive in literature and media by female creators.
What is Beauty?
To understand it further,lets understand the concept of Beauty. Its our unconscious thought process,wired in our brains through the process of evolution, that we find the person beautiful with whom we consider our chances of producing the fittest progeny.
Historically, male role in society was that of warriors,hunters,or other outdoor economic activity. And women’s most important societal function was considered reproduction in ancient and medieval times in many societies. Therefore this concept of physical beauty got associated with women more compared to men,as physically more appealing women were considered more apt for producing fittest children.
