Because if we weren't they would not be things we're attracted to.

neurotransmitters being released at certain times in certain concentrations upon external stimuli. Why? because it's hardwired into us for maximal survival.
Food
Danger
Sex
the human brain cannot ignore these 3 things without effort.

Because symmetry signals good genetics. If a member if bilatera is asymmetrical, it's obvious that some sort of negative mutation, at least, is present.

We also look for neotony in our partner's face. We have the least difference between child and adult skulls amongst the primates. It's also why "natural" pedophiles exist, they have an exaggerated capability of this human tendency.

a combination of genetics and cultural conditioning.

anyone who denies the effect the media has on what you find attractive is retarded (within your sexual preference). anyone who completely denies the effects of genetics as well is retarded

SOME BODY TELL ME WHY IF I LOOK TO MY RIGHT MY LEFT EYE WILL HAVE PRIORITY AND VICE VERSA? WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN IF MY RIGHT EYE IS FUCKED TO ALL HELL? WHY IS MY LEFT EYE NOT PRIORITIZING TO THE LEFT WHEN I LOOK LEFT?

It could be because we don't posses the physical and/or the genetical capabilities of those who we are attracted to.

That is actually really interesting.

People are attracted to people like themselves. Your theory is shit.

Unfalsifiable hogwash. The media shows all types of attractive people. The 'archetype' we end up liking the most is based on ourselves.

>People are attracted to people like themselves
Fucking wrong. You're a retard if you think fat females with bug eyes or a recessed chin like men with the same features.

Yes please someone tell me why I like gay yiff it needs to stop.

Congratulations, you've found out your dominant eye.

Personality-wise ya dip

Some of it is nature, some of it is societal/upbringing

For example, I like girls that are taller than me. I think it originates from me starting kindergarten a year early, so I was typically the youngest person (and thus typically the shortest) in every friend group I was in. I know that when I was in 1st grade I had a massive crush on this chick in the 7th grade (k-12 private school). I think it just kinda snowballed from there. If I talk to a chick that's taller than me for more than 30 seconds and I find her even remotely attractive, I get a boner no matter what.

But just based off porn habits, I honestly think you can be manipulated into being sexually attracted to just about anything. I used to watch only lesbian porn because I was disgusted at seeing another guy's dick. Several years later I am able to look at a trap and think "Huh, that's a cute dick," and that's gay as hell. It's not a massive leap, but a slow pace towards a change in sexual attraction. Something like girl-on-girl to girl-on-guy to girl-on-dickgirl to dickgirl-on-dickgirl to guy-on-dickgirl.

A byproduct of ugliness detection.

this, plz halp

Apart from obvious masculine-feminine stuff. What data shows that we prefer people from other cultures and ethnic groups?

Well? Can it be explained?

unless you're a gay man with a bf who looks like you
