Men are attracted to women, reproduction. Bees are attracted to flowers, reproduction. You get the idea. I guess that makes me a bee! (or a moth...I also am attracted to the Mona Lisa...) :)

<<We are attracted to this beauty because it creates a necessary reaction. Men are attracted to women, reproduction. Bees are attracted to flowers, reproduction. >> LOL.... Well solon beat me to the punch on this one........ But suffice to say I ain't a pea hen either. <<to use the most energy in the most efficient way possible", then we would inherently lean toward items that appeared to be doing this well. That WOULD BE our definition of beauty.>> Why would a peacock that has the genetic mutations for a few more colors be doing better than a more plain one? It would seem that all that plumage must be a drag in escaping predators etc. <<Men are attracted to women, reproduction.>> But ...but why reproduction more so with beautiful women than non beautiful ones? Clearly we are trying to reproduce beauty . But why? Of what advantage to do so ? Also notice that species that have placed a greater reliance on eyesight such as humans and birds are more attracted to this beauty.....Warthogs don't seem to care.....Rather sniff a butt.......I guess any butt is as good as another as long as the sex is right..... Why is us with the good eyesight so darn particular?????
