it's in the eye of the beholder...

I feel that we all have similar, natural feelings toward certain features of a person. We all subconsciously are looking for specific things in a mate. Whether it is for child baring purposes or simply sexual satisfaction we have similar wants. We are all born with that natural attraction so that we can procreate. I believe that these natural feelings are mixed in with social learning. Every culture is has different social surroundings that can shape their beliefs or in this case their feelings of attraction. Things such as wealth can shape what a person finds attractive. Women in Europe used to be seen as attractive if they had a fuller figure as apposed to American standards now with our stick figured models. It was believed that the more plump women ate more and therefore were wealthier. They were a part of a higher social class making them more desirable. I do find it interesting what we find attractive and what we find repulsive. What I touched on was very broad. I can not even begin to imagine why one guy may be attracted to blondes and one guy is attracted to brunettes. It could be because God made us all different and we can not all be attracted to one thing. I really do feel though that attraction is based on a mixture of natural and social leaning. We are born with one and bombarded with another so how could it not be.
