Crabbe, it's true I am getting too old, but I haven't lost my mind yet. On the contrary, I now rate as sage. I have decades of wisdom and distilled interpretations of all that has gone before.
<what delectable young lass is not interested in the football quarterback, or the stud with dynamic wheels.>
My experience is, lots. Also, my 1951 rusty Hillman seemed to be considered suitable transport, lack of heater, handbrake, tyre tread, warrant of fitness, notwithstanding. Consider other examples. Mick Jagger is far from a jock. Note that Stephen Hawking while grossly incapacitated took up with a mistress. He can't even talk without a machine.
But let's believe the market research too - women say what they rate in a mate and being nice, funny, charming and intelligent rate well above massive body-building and quarterback quality, which is a "nice but not essential" variable.
Also, let's check the facts of what happened. The Flynn Effect shows exactly what happened. So does the fact that we are not chimps and have megahorsepower brains. That didn't happen by chance. It was selected.
<In any case evolution does not happen in a generation or 20 generations. >
It's true that swarms of new mutations don't happen in a single generation or even in 20 generations. But there are so many mutations already available in the 6 billion people that a vast change in humans could happen with NO new mutations.
Filtering and selection of the existing gene pool could create a human species of males with the body of a quarterback and brainpower of Einstein, or, on the other hand, a remarkable likeness to a chimpanzee, but without the chimp's brainpower! No mutations needed.
What is rapidly going on is filtration and selection. 6 billion of us are in the life and death process. There have been more people alive since 1800 than all those who have ever lived. faculty.plattsburgh.edu Evolution, including mutations, is going faster now than ever, even though death rates before age 40 are so much lower than ever.
We should expect the Flynn Effect to pick up speed.
With the addition of cyberspace, we are living in the most spectacular era ever. This is a bigger deal than everything. The industrial revolution was a big deal compared with what had gone before. But that was trivial compared with what's going on now. Even the invention of sexual biology eons ago was small beer by comparison. We have to go right back to the invention of DNA to get something comparable.
< there are certain features that are universally admired by men of all races in females>
A notable omission was any mention of the contents of the skull. While males rate intellectual aspects lower than do females for males, they still rate fairly highly.
