Do dogs look at other dogs and think they're ugly? Any other animals, or only humans? What's the point. Wouldn't natural selection and evolution favour people that thought everyone was attractive?

Yes. No. Because.

Well, I guess you could ask, do Peahens look at Peacocks and think they are ugly or attractive? I think that gives you your answer.

If there were no obvious visual-only features on some animals then you could say no, but there are.

Lucky for most of us, beauty is not too much of an issue as there are only so many beautiful people to go around and far more important is security and stability. Well, in most cases. If this weren't the case we would all look beautiful by now anyway.

Going off on a tangent with the dog/beauty thing. My last dog was a blue-heeler. To anyone that likes the breed, she was a good looking dog, yet I was surprised when someone at a dog park said to me once 'what an ugly dog'. I put it down to people being used to 'their breeds' and the colours-all-over-the-place thing would look strange to them. I think it must be a dog-owner thing, as I look at Pugs and think 'why would you bother'. Luckily they are not that smart either so would not be offended anyway

I read a study saying that each generation looks better than the last .
And it's because the beautiful people get 1st choice as a partner & breed more beautiful people & ugly people miss out on getting partners.
So maybe in the animal kingdom a similar thing happens therefore they have breed to be good looking to each other.
But if you grow a moustache it will really set off your mullet.
Your chances might improve

Who was it that said - Ugly people can be beautiful, but pretty people never....

Some famous person anyway.

I wanna know who decided big fish lips and fat arses are hot? Like good on the gals for accepting normal body shapes, and if ya got thin lips yeah do fillers if you want. But now it seems all the normal attractive gals are to be trying to look as grotesque as possible

Personally I love smart, got no time for pretentious or those that believe that they are somehow above everyone else.

A few drinks helps

Women spend hundreds and hundreds on eyelashes, hair and eyebrows.

I ain't never smashed a box because of a nice set of eyebrows but I've done a bit of self genital mutilation a couple times because of a good set of tits that had no money spent on them

Dogs rape each other

Separately. Scientific studies have shown that groups of couples pictures seperated and then placed in order of attractiveness by the opposite sex finds them paired back with their partners.
Gold diggers not withstanding.

Wealth distribution probably has a lot to answer for in regards to this subject. Whether it's the rich and the gold diggers or the stupidly fertile and the welfare cheques

I can't figure that out either. I think its a bit weird where the media comes up with shots of these 'influencers' that look the way you describe and say how hot they look and then go on to say that everybody should be proud of what they look like, no matter what they look like. While praising how "good" they look.

Where did that quote come from? Who are you quoting? I suspect its wrong as most dogs don't have hands and arms and are pretty easily able to sit down to avoid a 'rape'.

Nah, its all makeup and steroids. It all averages out after a few years.

Imagine if the kids of influencers got together with other kids of influencers and breed for a few generations... 'beauty' would be heavily distorted.

Would they evolve to have no eyebrows and lips that caught passing traffic?

Okay, I have to break this to you, but Wilfred was.... I know this is going to change your perspective on life... was a guy in a suit. Dogs don't smoke normally either, but what do I know. Was he from Frankston?

Looking at western countries ethnicity breeding statistic,
I wouldn't be so sure
if this rule still apply.Maybe the one they have most beautiful smile at government unemployment and benefits desk
breed the most offspring this days.

Well animals have breed to be more attractive to the opposite sex it's why for example the peacock with the biggest tail gets the mate .
Your confused because of a 5% of the population are breeding more on the dole you think.
That's not really affecting the overall population it's just a small blip .
But even then the better looking crack head gets more choice.
Take a look at some of the portraits from old England no chin ugly mother's for sure .

Worked as a tree surgeon on the lower north shore (Sydney) in the early nineties. Strick rules meant that we had to shut down chainsaws at 3:30 . Didn't mind the Military Bay Crawl (Ky-OGLE) to see the yummy mummys on the way home.
Couldn't afford a body like that? But as the saying goes. It doesn't matter where you get your appetite as long as you eat at home. If your rich you don't marry a slapper but marry a trophy wife but they are high maintenance.

Money

Actually, I got the title wrong. Rather than say "Why are people ugly?", I think I really meant "Why do we think people are ugly?"

Instead of talking about whether people are getting more or less ugly, I'm wondering why we even think some are ugly to start with?

Imagine what life would be like if you thought every women you saw was a '10'.

Spot on. Once a certain income is reached, a man can be fugly and get anything.


The hot crazy matrix explains it perfectly at the end..... around 6min but don't skip if you've never see it

Think y'all crossed the line on this topic.

I am lucky I guess. I can find beauty in most any woman. Sometimes I have to squint, but it keeps me sane. Says I.

Pretty sure beauty is based on symmetry. Thats why my left eye and half my face slightly drips to one side lol.
