It’s not you, it’s my hormones Testosterone Influences | Lisa Welling | TEDxOaklandUniversity

- My research finds that increases in testosterone is associated with increased preferences for sexually dimorphic (i.e., masculinity in males and femininity in females) characteristics and changes in self-perception. Specifically, research shows that testosterone influences perceptions by increasing preferences for masculine men and feminine women, and influencing men's perceptions of their own dominance. This research demonstrates that, far from being arbitrary, our preferences and perceptions are at least in part governed by biological processes and that beauty is not just in the eye of the beholder.
Dr. Lisa Welling is an Assistant Professor at Oakland University. Her Ph.D., entitled Individual Differences in Face Preferences, was completed in 2008 and was funded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. Grounded in evolutionary reasoning, Dr. Welling’s research generally surrounds three related areas: hormonal influences on behavior, sources of adaptive mate preferences, and interpersonal relationships. In addition to having co-edited a book entitled Evolutionary Perspectives on Social Psychology, Dr. Welling has published five book chapters and more than fifty scientific journal articles. Her research has been featured in the media multiple times on programs including lthe Oprah Winfrey Show and the Discovery Channel documentary Curiosity.

may the hormones ever be in your favor
Only good comment here, cheers
hopefully man hopefully.
JVW amen
💩
you mean: "May the hormones be with you"?
For everyone saying "but I am X and am not like that", studies like these are studies of generalities. Most people will have their behavior reasonably explained by what she said, the rest are normal statistical deviations expected in complex things like humans.
Ah yes, a concept we all learn in basic statistics.
That's why statistics is hogwash.

Oh yeah, the picture on the left is more attractive.
Lisa: "The picture on the right is the more attractive one."
you don't have enough testosterone
To her right? Or yours?
Depends on WHOSE right. As the comment says, to her right or yours?
I get excited physically with masculinity and get excited mentally and emotionally with a man's ability to communicate.

Taking Testosterone in a responsible manner can benefit your life greatly.
One thing I don't get is this: high testosterone in women makes them attracted to masculine men, but high testosterone makes women's faces more masculine and thus less attractive to those men?
Yeah that is interesting
It's over a short period of time, though. Women with more masculine features might not have a higher testosterone level than women with less masculine features.
"High" is relative. "High" testosterone for a woman is still only like 1/40th of the testosterone of a man, and not enough to cause a woman to look masculine.
We're not talking about women taking steroids.
What Not To Do At a Stoplight it does the ratchet chiks at my school tend to have wider faces
@What Not To Do At a Stoplight actually it does have younseen women bodybuilder?
Yes, in truth this study does miss out on the psychological aspects, such as using clothing and hair style and other such things to create the illusion of masculinity or femininity. Its not all lost people, you can trick people into thinking you are more "attractive" than you really are.
Grooming in it self shows some surplus, which is attractive, so...
...in the end you can become more attractive through various artificial means, and sometimes those means, in themselves, make you even more attractive.
In conclusion, not only does attractiveness have a natural element, it also has a skill element, which can be learned.
Lawrence Worrell i agree... i once date an ugly unattractive guy because i was frustrated with my previos boyfriend that was attractive.. and i thought the main problem was he was attractive.. and i thought i need to be like a type of person that can see a person beyond just looks.. because my previos attractive boyfriend (that for me i thought was out of my league) has issues that i thought only attractive people have.. so.. this ugly unattractive guy, he 1st and foremost are sick,, he has kidney disease and his sickness are see through his physical which he looks skinny malnourished and physically smaller than me as an average guy.. and i have a normal average body of a female.. not just that.. he looks like he didnt even care to try to groom himself to make himself presented better.. his clothing always 2 times bigger than his size.. and when talks about clothing sizing he seems like to detest people that wear tight fitting clothes.. he says it looks uncomfortable and didnt like it.. but the problem is.. his clothing are just way bigger than his size.. like he didnt care! and he also has some kind of hatred towards people that take care of their appearance.. he thought he was being a better person by not focusing on appearance but the problem is.. his appearance are just making me want to puke.. he sorta trying to push his idealogies into me aswell probably because he realise that im out of his league and trying to make me think that appearance is not important and just accept him as it is.. i do believe that theres no such thing as ugly people.. just people that didnt take care of their appearance.. i almost falls into his bullshit ideologies.. he keeps saying to me.. "just accept me just aaccept me" asking me to accept him as he is no matter how unattracted i am in his apppearance and have told him many2 times.. the only things that his selling are his attitude.. and he thinks his attitude sells more to compensate his unattractiveness.. the more i spend time with him.. the more i discovered disgustissness in him.. like the way he walks are unattractive.. the way he drive are unattractive.. the way he eats are messy.. just gross me out.. in the end i really have to end it.. and the lesson i learned from that.. i do need to be with a person that i find attractive no matter what.. issues can come in both traits.. either attractive or unattractive.. and theres nothing wrong in that and nothing wrong to have a preferences.. and i am 100persent more than willing to be and deal with attractive ppl with issues than with an unattractive one..

Zgembo121 Easy, just manipulate the points of your vector.
hahahaha
Michael Young
But is his body ready?
Zgembo121, you're profile pic though..
although what she says about how the world in general behaves towards attractive people i personally refuse to mess with people who are attractive but emotional or intellectual sows ears. and rest assured while my point of veiw is not typical am not the only one who feels this way
Death to graph whose y-axis does not start at zero
nononononono what's the point of drawing a graph that comes from 0 to 600 if your interest it's between 500 and 600? Do you get what I mean? It's way better to adjust your axis acording to your data!
Lies, damn lies and statistics. I'm all for labelling the axis so you can fit everything on one page, but even though I do it myself I assumed it went from zero. Just goes to show, always read the labels.
a graph must always start on a zero and then have a squiggly line to jump as it indicates to the person reading the graph that numbers were skipped (otherwise the scale is wrong)
I agree... it's deceptive, manipulative bullshit to create a certain impression, usually.
Yes, the difference is 0.5 % ans she says "through the roof" lol.
TED, step up your audio game. Hearing a mic pop every 3 seconds is not pleasant
that has more to do with the person sticking it down their own throat than TED
whenever you disagree with the majority on what is an attractive face, 90% of the time, it's because you are trying to defend their personality, of course there are exceptions though when you truly think a face is physically attractive but most people don't agree, but this is rare.
As a testicular cancer survivor, who uses testosterone supplementation, my testosterone level varies from under 200 to over 1500 in a few cases. It had no effect on what I was attracted to. It did affect my morning wood... but also the quality of my sleep, the clarity or foginess of my thinking, whether or not I felt constant dread all the time, whether or not I had night sweats.
So at the least.. I'm a counter example.
I suspect height and income are more important than testosterone levels.
"had no effect on what I was attracted to" That's subjective and this study specifically shows that it does have an effect, subconsciously or not. They were showing small differences in people's appearance and the preference people had when subjected to different T levels and it shows their biases depending on hormone level. You probably just didn't notice and or were not specifically looking/dating and being subjected to different faces, picking out which ones you preferred.
Man are attracted to the signs of fertility.
Women are attracted to the sign of of genetic fitness.
So basically boobs and muscles.
This is an acceptable tl;dr. Thanks.
Genetic fitness + high status
So basicly big ol bumps on the body
Not just muscles for men, but also bone structure, skin thickness, body and facial hair, height, skin tone, voice, shoulder width, etc.
@@Rueyful academic degree, bank account, real estate, career momentum, cars and other luxury items etc.
For people strongly emotionally effected by this: Cindy Crawford, Ryan Gosling and Marilyn Monroe are all people with strong asymatry, called by some the most attractive people in the world. Hope you have a great day!
What if you are not attracted to hyper masculine men? or Hyper feminine women?what is the explanation for it? (depending on your sexual orientation)
It means you're being authentic.
based on what she said:
1.it means that your testosterone levels are not very high just normal.
2.another reason maybe that you subconsciously tuned your preference to desire those that are not out of your league. For example, if you're an average guy you know that a hot super model is out of your league so your desire learns to lean towards woman that you can get.
+Charle Magne Personal preferenses are affected by many other things than hormones.
She also failed to report that depending on what the person is looking for in regards to a relationship is a factor too. I.e when women and men are after just sex they look for the features that are most masculine/feminine, however when the goal is a long term relationship, those same factors become negative attractors i.e they are avoided.
Lawrence Worrell why would I avoid them if looking for a relationship? that makes no sense
The newborn thing would just be the nurse's survival instincts kicking in and going, "These ones are more likely to attract mates and propagate the species so my finite effort is more valuable here." Like an animal mother leaving the weakest of the litter to distract hunters while she gets away with the rest of them.
"Vote for physically attractive people"
But trump tho
Yeah but desperation for change makes that happen.
He looks like a Jaffa cake
I'm commenting on the guy's orange characteristics, based on his hair and tan, which I personally don't deem very attractive, and you're commenting on the idea that I or another person is a 'snowflake' (at the worst, a narcissist) turned 'snivelling mentalist' (neurotic), and a 'nappy wearer' (immature person) based on what?
Again, just out of curiosity, assuming you like Trump, why do you like him?
Do you know many 71 year olds better looking than him?
Looks > Everything.
I disagree with the symmetrical vs asymmetrical shape. Asymmetrical shaped people (if limited to face cuts only) do look very attractive and even surpass most symmetrical face cuts in attractiveness.
that's absurd
Sounds interesting - could you call back when there's new data on how to spot a person that has above average levels of empathy, humour and social intelligence ?
Anyone who resembles Robin Williams 🙏🏼
I’m a masculine man but find, and always have found, extremely muscular women attractive with more masculine features. Have always wondered why.
Lol. A masculine man would never call himself 'masculine' and being a lil tall with some muscles doesn't make you 'masculine' bud
@@muskanhira763 sounds good, big guy 👍
You are more interested in companionship/bonding as opposed to breeding. Look up r/k selection in evolutionary biology.
a lot of hurt feelings in the comment section, because reality doesn't agree with their preconceived notions of people being blank slates, and because of lack of understanding of statistics. just because you know a tall woman that dwarfs men doesn't mean that women are no longer ON AVERAGE shorter than men. just because our hard wiring has influence on our behavior doesn't mean it's the determining factor, but just the envioronment isn't determining as well. it's an interplay of both.
sigh.
its really really scary that there are people that unironically are incapable of accepting facts even if they are shown the evidence
their feelings are always worth more which makes them sheep to be manipulated
3:38 With that laugh, I'm sure it's the experience talking.
the people saying "but what about the trans gendered and homosexuals etc." listen sometimes people aren't forgetting about those people its just that in the current conversation its irrelevant or not the objective of the talk.
On point.
It's like you aren't allowed anymore to make any generalizations ever, without explicitly stating that it 'only' applies to the average joes, i.e. the majority.
That it might _not_ be true for certain minorities that make up single digit percentiles in the population, if even that.
Not saying they are irrelevant, but that they are merely the exception to the rule. Not the antithesis.
Just because your group doesn't get mentioned does not imply that it has been ignored out of malice.
i agree with you, it's not always the topic of the talk, but if you talk about attraction etc. it would be interessting to know how it applies and works with other sexualitys. but that's just my opinion.
They you can expand on it yourself. They have around 20 mins on ted, she got to keep it focused
let alone being a significant statistical anomaly that they identify as such
Daniel I know, we are talking about the standard human. Though, lgbt are a divergence, so they are hard to perform statistical studies on.
In addition to intelligence and social status, I am physically attracted to tall, muscular guys. Now I can say "it;s not you, it;s my hormones" thanks lol
So if you like a woman before approaching her find out the details of her menstruation cycle and calculate on what day you should approach her, depending on how masculine you are. You will have more chances to be liked back.If you are a feminine man, make her pregnant first and then approach. Women prefer feminine traits more during the period of pregnancy.
This doesn't explain the success of Sarah Jessica Parker.
I don't know any men that find her attractive though.
Kikuyu Kiiru Whoa, a bit anti-Semitic much?
Women being contrarian. Chaos is feminine.
@@czos9239 From my experience, it's quite the opposite- most women I know are more organised and more reliable than men, probably due to the fact that many women I know have a lot of very different chores, so in order to maintain a balance between work, family, friends and taking care of home they need to be both organized and flexible. I would even say, the more traditionally feminine woman is, the greater chance is that she is also very well-organised person.
Not a fan of her either, but have to admit that she has always had quite nice bod.
Masculine women and feminine men, which is the rooster and which is the hen?
It's both frightening and fascination the extent these hormones dictate so many aspects of our personality, even the effects are more dramatic only if you're on any far end of the spectrum. It's already been mentioned by others but I would be interested to know how this applies to homosexual and bisexual. Would higher testo levels make men attracted to other men with more typical masculine characteristics?
Or is it the complete opposite? After all, and I realize that this is just a stereotype so I have no idea if this is true at all, but the gay community seems to consist of tops and bottoms, and it would make more sense if the "tops" so to speak had higher levels of testosterone, but that would also suggest they wouldn't necessarily be attracted to more feminine bottoms?
Would also be interesting to know more about the relationship between testosterone and depression. Is there a correlation?
Carl Minez most hyper masculine gays I've met have been bottoms or versatile lol.. it doesn't make sense to.associate such male-female binary roles to same sex couples
You're probably right about that.
I would like to suggest an amendment:
Replace "dictate" with "influence".
IMHO like many things the moment you observe it (consciously) it changes.
I was wondering same thing, since I'm attracted more towards femine or 'neutral' girls & guys & I don't like masculine people, but sometimes this kinda changes and this is weird XD
16:00 that dad in the top right corner doesn't GAF. He's just like "eh...those kids will learn...gravity will teach them...let nature sort 'em out...I'm gonna pretend these two pieces of pancake are airplanes crashing into each other!"
That is a beautiful photograph, thank you for pointing it out.
It's disturbing to hear what passes through people's minds when they project their most disjointed mentally or emotionally unhealthy thoughts onto others, and decide to tell us about it!!! ;O))
Jack Norris your imagination...
I am not the only one who makes weird backstorys about random pictures as a joke. Praise the lord.
I love that Ted has videos like this that has science behind why people look good and then they have Ted talks that say the complete opposite.
I mean even in the face of scientific facts and proof people still believe what they wanna believe
There are some people that think the earth is flat and the moon is made of cheese :-I
I sexually identify as an attack helicopter, but when my testosterone is high, I really go for fighter jets.
lol
so you go from apache to AC130
LOOOOOOOL!!!
😄😄💀💀
Relatable tho
What if masculine women and feminine men are more likely to be victims of constant, minor acts of discrimination? This would increase stress and decrease things like immune system function.
Thank God for my good looks.
In other words, the fabled "love potion" from medieval stories is testosterone.
I feel like I lost 16min of my life... OK, I understand her point, but... How to use this information? How to apply it? It doesnt seem useful at all.
That's the problem with this video. Usually we expect to learn and apply something from a TED video. You can't apply anything from this video, just ack the fact that if you are not high 'hormone' you are f*** up.
Why should it be useful? It's interesting because it provides insight into how we think...
It’s science most knowledge is completely useless but people still find it interesting for example history is completely useless for the most part but I still love history
New knowledge change your thinking pattern, with or without your noticing of it. That's how people evolved. It's not a training session.
This was very Interesting. I would be interested in seeing the similarities and differences in individuals with same sex attractions.
All this is great to know, and honestly, what i take away is just to take care of yourself. Ensure you eat, sleep well and that physical and mental health is good as these things will guide the hormonal balance in your body. Hope this video doesnt make people feel inadequate, cz it shouldn't.
"There is evidence that...", "Studies have shown..." I love that
Why am I watching this. I don't need someone to tell me why I deserve to die alone due to poor genetics.
What I find fascinating about this is right at the end... That merely percieving to be superior increased men's testosterone! That is very interesting indeed, and empowering! Because that means it's all in our minds.
It doesn't mean it's all in our minds, it means when you win, your body gives you a dose of testosterone. Can't be a winner all the time just like you can't be pleasure seeking all the time either which would give you a dopamine kick as well.
This makes me feel so ugly and deppressed 😢 pocs ruined my life 😢
same gal. same. biology fd us up and didn't want us to reproduce. lol.
Coldwelth Simms same
Coldwelth Simms awe 😞. I'm sorry it's like that and you feel that way. I hope things go well for you.
Coldwelth Simms Are you talking about Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome? I have that too I think. I was able to get periods once a month though by only eating 25 grams of sugar or less per day and eating healthier, but I'm still basically growing a beard :(((( I'm going to see an endocrinologist in a few months though and I am determined to fix this somehow!!! My testosterone is normal, but my sex hormone binding globulin is only a 7, when it should be at least 30 for women at my age of 20. I don't know what to do
franie4456895 I really hope all goes well Franie... do you have regs periods?? i have always looked more manly than female i would say (like my dad). i have just had a baby and hes 4 months though dare i say it my periods havent arrived and NO i have not had nookie waiting to see if i get it this month....wondering do you think my testosterone hormones are up causing no periods???
Finally a TED I can get behind!
So learn to change your state of mind depending on the other person, powerful stuff
She looks more feminized to me in the standard picture
Me too
Yeah
Some of the claims she's making seem really questionable. Masculine men have "less interest in children" but how are you defining "masculine"? What was your sample size and what groups were you sampling from?
mas·cu·line
1. Having qualities or appearance traditionally associated with men, especially strength and aggressiveness.
I'm pretty sure aggressive people in general have less interest in children. Since that is a defined masculine trait it makes sense.
@@silviafox78 The two troubling key words I notice in that definition are "traditionally associated." it adds a bit of wiggle room, an "eye of the beholder" effect to the definition when I feel a published dictionary should word it more concretely. For instance, it sounds like, through your eyes, you see the topic of aggression only at its extreme, as in someone who can just put their fist through a wall when upset. Yeah, someone like that wouldn't want to be around kids and probably shouldn't be. The thing is aggression is not a mood or emotion, it's a measuring scale for the degree of intensity behind an action. Like negotiating aggressively. That doesn't mean you hate the person across from you at the business table and want to get violent. Let's take aggressiveness in playtime with your children. A Father might take their kid by one arm and leg, helicopter spin them, and throw them into a pool. It's a truly aggressive act, but not a damaging one. Odds are you'll just end up with a dad and a kid next to each other laughing their heads off afterwards.
When it comes to attentiveness and nurturing, women and men are about the same when it comes to children. It just comes in different flavors between the two. Women tend to focus on protection and preservation, men tend to focus imparting and strengthening. All of it important. Another case of aggressiveness, one sibling shoves another and that one starts to cry. A father would step in at that time and lay it out, that was too much power used, so the kid learns to dial back at play and apologize. Pushing for the apology imparts humility and empathy, keeping in mind how you effect others and especially how that can mean a penalty on you.
So, as a man, I get where Jess Rob is coming from. I hear that line in the presentation and it strikes that chord inside of "Ummm No. That's not a masculine man." That's the stereotype of a hyper macho manly man. I'm pretty sure that's what she's nodding to since she immediately follows that up describing guys who go out and sleep with as many girls as possible. Yeah, those types don't care about children. Pick up artist aren't going to commit to anyone. Last, you notice the word that came to mind there, "stereotype". And that loops us right back to "Traditionally associated". Putting so much weight on what a lot of people happen to think versus what something actually is.
@@cg675 - ag·gres·sive
adjective
1. ready or likely to attack or confront; characterized by or resulting from aggression.
2. pursuing one's aims and interests forcefully, sometimes unduly so.
I would not call spinning a kid around and throwing them into a pool as aggressive behavior if the goal is to play. However take that same situation but use an actually aggressive man who throws their kid into a pool as a personal attack or maybe enforced punishment and you'll have aggressive behavior.
@@silviafox78 Depends? If the point of the exercise is for the child to have fun, then isn't the man aggressively pursuing that goal?
@@k_tess - Masculine aggression in the video is referring to the more violent instance rather than the forceful or determined definition.
I want to send this video to a friend that doesn't speak english. Please allow the viewers to subtitle the video.

yeah. these kinds of studies are often biased to only look at white people. That kind of bias is a big problem in academia.

Please don't do that. It would cause every living person to die if the world came to an abrupt halt. People wouldn't even die from the impact of flying into things, they'd probably die from the g-force first. I think if someone made an example simulation of what it would look like it would be very interesting: I think seeing what would happen to the bodies of water would be the strangest. It could be possible that the water would be travelling fast enough (compared to the still Earth) that it would fly into space, creating a stranger whirlpool of water floating away from the Earth. I think it would also be just as interesting to see what would happen if the world slowed down over time, meaning that we would see the effects of the Earth being still on the environmental side (rather than everything being sweeped of the surface of Earth and into space) of things with people there to interact with the new environment. Honestly that's a great novel idea, there is a lot of research that would need to be done to write it. What would happen to the weather? Could it rain? Would there be tides? And if there were would it only be in the part of the Earth that is dark? Would the ozone layer still stay and have a breathable atmosphere? Would everyone die anyway? Or would it still be habitable? OR, would the Earth stop spinning AND stop moving (around the sun) OR just stop spinning OR just stop moving? Cause if it stopped moving that would mean it wouldn't be in orbit and would be gravitated into the sun and we'd definitely all die. BUT, if it just stopped spinning would it still be habitable? Or would everything die due to the new weathers and season cycles and eventually (over many thousands of years) adapt and life would start spreading again? Would the seasons be the same but there was no night and day? In fact, wouldn't certain parts never be bright or always be bright (the north and south poles) cause the Earth is on an axis and the north pole isn't lined up with the north of the sun and the south pole isn't' lined up with the south of the sun? Would there be months when it's always sunny and months when it's always dark in many places? Also due to the changed weather patterns would there be extreme weather or no weather?
I have more questions but no one is going to read all that junk above this but a couple people might read this little bit at the end. So for the couple people who read this bit: it's 02:56AM were (or is it where) I am and I'm not bored... Surprisingly... Actually I am wanting to watch something but for some reason I keep typing this. I should stop. Okay. It's done. I'm done. Sorry. For anyone who read this cause this is a waste of time.

The software creates generically bland good looking faces.
There's so much more than looks going on with attraction. "Chemistry" is pretty important. No one of course, can resist my giant green, bald head.
this whole is video is about chemistry of attraction...
Totally beside the point, she said that at the beginning, here we're focusing on physical attraction, which is the first thing people see when they look at someone. Duh on "there's more going on", we kinda knew that. I know you're self-conscious about your strange green appearance (and the real face you're hiding??), but you can't deny physical attraction just because it makes you feel better. ;O))
Love your giant green bald head.
So the date / person clicking is often a case of coinciding testosterone peaks when you are emotionally open to pursuing a relationship ?!?! This means you need an app on your smartphone that somehow measures your key hormones and tells you what your present hormonal profile is and that you should adjust your dating / mating decisions accordingly in order to minimise interference in decision making from hormones ... I guess...?
On some reflection the bit about preferring attractive people seems anecdotally true - often you feel just that very slight bit better in the presence of an attractive person and that predisposes you to behave well with them or treat them preferentially. It's almost the same effect as if attractive people invisibly shooting "you love me" hypnosis rays into their surroundings all the time...
There's no need to fight nature. If one is attracted to hypermasculine/hyperfemenine people because of biology, so be it.
They have actual scientific evidence, you spazmoid.
Fascinating and it kind of makes sense, in a subconscious way.
I always have wondered what my taste means. It's weird but I like smaller framed girls, as in not sticks and bones, but not curveylicious, and shy or quirky. I wish she went into how hormones affect personality or maybe that's just environment speaking.
I don't need this kind of negativity in my life.
It's over for you if you're not Chad.
NNNOOOoOOOOooooOooOoOoooooo
I'm attracted to hyper feminine-hyper masculine women. So basically really pretty feminine women who are tall, work out with weights and have muscle.
I think you just have a muscle fetish and otherwise normal.
Weirdo
So, on the days when I pass a mirror, look at myself and think "Damn, I look kinda good today" are the days my testosterone is on it's lowest.
(I'm a guy, if that wasn't obvious)
though our sexual dimorphisms are becoming less and less as time goes on..
Honestly, I find the ones rated the "most attractive" to often be the least attractive. I was always a fan of the more androgynous looks than anything.
Hello, Pi :)
Attraction is just what it is,the moment you ask your self why you're attracted ,the attraction is not pure anymore .So mind has no clue.
I find really masculine men to be really annoying and irritating. I also find super feminine women to be annoying.

YourMother 3-4% of the population is LGBT. It's not really quite rare.

I'm pretty somber, for a cat, actually. >^;^
right? as a fellow gay-this raises more questions for me than gives me a more nuanced understanding of sexual dimorphism. like, being attracted to all gendered shades of lady-does this mean my hormones are in a chronic state of queer equilibrium? or does it mean that when i ovulate or win my videogames im more prone to be gaga over butch and hard femmes? so many questions...also when it comes to straight people that date eachother and dont want kids-are they a hormonal and evolutionary biological anomole? is it queer in and of itself to choose to date based on non-reproductive partnerships?
my exact thought
The better Example would have been Cherlize Theron, The movie Monster. Should of ultra feminize the character from the film as well as the more masculine and vs. her regular self.
I like middle of the road people - androgynous

Sam Clay it took 10 months for someone to like your comment. But I can retract it at anytime.

and may the hormones be ever in your favor....
Really poorly reasoned. People with these traits report better immunity, therefore that reported immunity is caused by genetics? It could simply be that their life is easier because they are more attractive and as a result experience fewer stress related illnesses. There is zero evidence given that the cause of reported increased immunity.
Do you say there's zero evidence because you read into this and related studies and concluded there was none or because you didn't nother doing so?
Albert Balbastre-Morte It is the burden of the person making the argument to produce the evidence. I could research this and provide counter evidence but it is equally effectual to just point out that this is poorly reasoned. Because I didn't provide counter evidence doesn't make this any better. It is still nonsense.
Michael Birdsall I agree. I don't feel like the argument was strong enough to be convincing.
Izzy you don't FEEL?! Lmao
GORE illa have you never heard someone say that before or what. If you'd prefer, It's "I don't think" but really they are pretty similar.
How we are v how we are told we should be. The battle is within us and within society. It's the human condition.
She cuts the graphs from below. Instead of starting from 0, they start from a higher number to make the differences look bigger, when they're actually small.
THIS IS A PERFECT REPRESENTATION OF BAD RESEARCH
"to make the differences look bigger"
yeah, it's outrageous, she even had the graphs displayed on a big screen so that people could see them
when really on a4 paper the graphs would be small
So in other words, always look for a partner you can develop a non-physical relationship with, even if you're hormone crazy.

Short story shorter? ... We already knew that Testosterone influences judgement ... You have a long conversation for nothing
Maybe you knew. I'm sure there are people out there that didn't and still don't know this.
She made my testosterone go up...
Wait a second, wouldn't the claim that being more hyperfeminine or hypermasculine within your gender leads to better health outcomes be a bit confounded due to the fact that those individuals receive preferential treatment in almost every culture?
if masculine men get preferential treatment and are therefore more healthy, then masculine men are more healthy.
It doesn't have to be a direct causal link in order to be selected by evolution.
This upsets my political ideology, ergo untrue!
Sadly that's the sort of level of comments we're gonna get with such a touchy subject.
I dunno, I don't see how this has to do with politics... I do think the research is flawed though, sort of disregarding the fact that literally every human has a different hormonal profile...
lol. I have PCOS. I'm a hormonal failure.
Lydia Washington just take this with a grain of salt. It's interesting to look at and study as a part of a whole of other wider more inclusive studies, but by itself is very over generalized.
No, this should be the baseline. Your "more inclusive" studies are the bonus content. It's generalized because heterosexuality is the norm.
Google and try Ovasitol, a combo of vitamins myo inositol and d chiro inositol
I have PCOS and it's helping me.
Behavior influences hormones.
You can say you successfully acted like non-feminine/masculine way often and hard enough for having high hormones imbalances that affect your ovaries and menstrual cycle.
If you have pcos why not remove the faulty organs like the ovaries and start on bioidentical hormone therapy so you can live life without this horrible thing ? Instead of treating the symptoms treat the actual problem...i feel doctors dont do that tho if you dont push them by educating them to make money off of peoples problems which is sad but is the truth
What if I like women? Then do I feel more attracted to masculine women when my testosterone is high?
I think so, yeah

Attractiveness reminds us of smiling, smiling is bartesian mimicry of attractiveness. Cuteness is mimicry of neoteny i.e the end stage of homosapien development.
