I do find the purely biological aspect interesting, though...it seems it is a purely involuntary reaction -- very primitive; similar to how men's attraction to large hips and women's attraction to chiseled features is an innate primitive response to survival and "spreading their seed," (purely subconscious) ensuring their continuity -- as opposed to cultural and societal influences and conditioning...
I would love to know how Adams interprets this in the context of her research.
If you have read Adams, (Kat? I think you read some) do you see this tying in to her perspective?
I think it's also interesting that part of the reason, according to this study, that Westerners prefer thinner women, is the abundance of food; even if the societal reasons are dominant, it is still provocative as a partial reason. Makes sense, though.
It is still a new study, but I wonder what the studies of women and hunger will reveal.
I often wonder what attracts people to eachother. (Sometimes the choices seem really odd). Like how there are always (seemingly) patterns to it.
For example, how some people always end up with the same "type" over and over; or how many end with their "mother" or "father."
If you look back at all the men/women you've dated/been involved with, what is your pattern?
Do they all have a certain characteristic? Father figures? Just like your mother? Losers? 
Etc. You get the idea
I don't care about appearances, I'm only concerned with personality and morality really, and you can't tell those things just by looking at someone
. Best thing, in my opinion, is to date a variety of people -- even those not your "type." SOooo many interesting people out there; it's silly to limit oneself from the joy and learning of knowing others different from oneself. 
. I can definitely see some truths about myself; so that's good; it's just hard facing the truth about oneself sometimes
