A question about evolution

[dan7532 10+ year member]

And natural selection is instinct, not evolution.

Its called perception. There are still plenty of ugly people. In fact many more so than pretty people. But how many go to the hood to scope chicks or pay attention to ugly ones?

And this whole thread is dedicated to the idea that people are getting more attractive with time. For the most part, we are all attesting to the idea that, judging by our surroundings, girls are more attractive than they used to be. We forum members all did not mysteriously move to more weathly areas and THEN decide that girls are getting more attractive.

Just because you dont pay attention to ugly people doesnt mean they dont exist.

Proof?

Let's start at the title under your username.. See I'm only agreeing with you. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

So you agree that natural selectoin is closely tied to evolution? I fail to see how natural selection is "instinct".

You can have natural selection without evolution. It exists in nature. See the difference?

Where did I say ugly people don't exist?

Can you prove that people are better looking on the whole or is it just something you 'notice' //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

I think the girls have always had the ***** and *****, but they've been hidden behind non-provocative clothes. I think it's all been a matter of perception-- 10 years ago, jailbait didn't seem as hot because they didn't dress as hot. Nowadays, 13 year olds are running around in daisy dukes and tube tops that scream 'sperm dumpster'.

so when the weak and feeble die off, they die because of instinct?

I love the statement about the short guys being with the taller, more developed girls.

I have noticed that a lot, and just been like, DAM, if I was under age that'd be so easy.

I enjoy when I am staring at the girls, and their little 5'3" boyfriend looks my way. Give him the stare and you'd think he shit his britches.

That is survival of the fittest.

evolution, by definition, is a genetic change in a population

this takes thousands, if not millions of years.

certainly not something you can observe in a single lifetime.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
