Ok. So Beth and I have this ongoing battle. We always make fun of each other for the types of men we are attracted to. Apparently I only like battle scarred 50 year-olds, while I am convinced she is only attracted to 18 year olds who are 6 months from out of the closet. I've included pictures below to demonstrate (I purposefully chose these specific pictures to illustrate and exaggerate the difference.) Left, please witness dream-boat Javier Bardem, the Spanish actor who recently won an oscar for his role in "No Country for Old Men." Beth would say he could be my father, and he's so scarred you can barely see his face (I actually don't see any scars, but she's prone to hyperbole). Right, see Justin Long, most recently seen in "Die Hard with a Vengeance". I know he's probably like 30, but seriously with the hat and the boyish grin? He could enroll in high school tomorrow. Anyways the point of this is that we were joking about this tonight, but I realized that evolutionary psychology can explain all of this. So basically there is no point to this post, just some rambling leading to an epiphany which I will not disclose. I'm not going to spoon feed you the evolutionary psych, figure it out on your own if you really want to know more about it.
ok, so maybe I also chose this picture on the left because he looks like a mixture between Wolverine and a vampire. I think it's funny.
please spoon feed me.(ps i have to do like an 8 letter word verification just to post this stupid comment. geez. see:azqofhan)
ReplyDeleteWell evolutionary psychology is the idea that behaviors, etc. we exhibit now stem from things we did to preserve the species in earlier times. So, for example, I would be attracted to manlier (hotter) maybe more rugged types because they would be more likely to be able to protecting from swooping pterodactyls.
ReplyDeleteI've had a thing for Justin Long since his days on Ed, so he's been my celebrity crush for like a decade now. Watch what you say!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI say what I want and I mean what I say! Or something like that...
