That might be true, but that doesn't have anything to do with bone structure, ie the size of your jaw. It probably has more to do with bone degradation, ie who didn't get enough calcium and got osteoporosis.

I took classes on biological anthropology, nutritional anthropology, forensic anthropology, etc. all of which talk about the effect of social status and money on human biological diversity. You're only surprised because you know nothing about the field. Shit, you can tell how much fish someone ate by looking at their bones. You can tell whether or not they cracked their knuckles, or played tennis, or bore a child, or which was their predominate hand.

>That might be true, but that doesn't have anything to do with bone structure, ie the size of your jaw.

It has everything to do with bone structure. Poor people's long bones don't develop properly, so they end up shorter. They also suffer hormone imbalances that effect their craniofacial morphology, everything from the size of their cranial vault to the development of bosses. Because of their diet their teeth don't develop properly and end up crooked and they need orthodontic work which they can't afford.

Obviously women aren't thinking about having children when they first met a person, but a lot of what takes place in making a decision to pick a partner is pretty much determined by the fact that women just like men are animals, and their choices are undermined by an unconscious animal instinct (in this case, reproduction).

This claim is generally made by people who were completely out of social contact during their early adulthood, it seems. It's not important whether a girl showed an interest in you or not, but were you people really so isolated that you couldn't observe other people around you in college or something? I'm not even talking about friends, just groups that you saw frequently.
Or, even a simpler example, is there seriously such a large gap between the status of your parents? Is there a large gap between their looks?

Maybe this is the case for some of you. But don't expect people to buy into this retarded theory when it's not the case for most of the 1st world if not the world. And no, there's nothing to do with genes and selective advantage either.

This statement alone shows the wide gap in your grasp of logic. The difficulty of a thought experiment has nothing to do with the truth.

You're literally just restating your hypothesis (as yet unproven) and expecting people to go "uh huh that is what would happen!" even though we have no reason to believe that's what would happen.

Money affects skin, clothes, haircuts, etc. But the ultimate arbiter of beauty is genetics (your skull shape, bone width, how you store fat). I don't deny that diet affects bones at all, obviously it does. But it doesn't affect the structure to the point that a certain diet will determine whether or not you have a chiseled jaw (excluding extreme circumstances).

>Secure women do not care about looks

That makes no sense whatsoever, if money or status is not a factor then they choose based on how attractive they find the person. Do you honestly think deciding to fuck someone based on physical attraction makes someone 'insecure'? Because that is not even slightly how people work.

can't be answered broadly. while men are biologically hardwired to fuck for youth, fertility and femininity (expressed almost exclusively through physical traits), females are hardwired to fuck for someone who has a greater social rank, which is often expressed via personality, also social status. So it doesn't make a man insecure, but a woman goes for one of the most attractive men she can land she's effectively doing it for social validation, ie she's insecure

Oh so you're naive enough to think that the average rich person is going to a nutritionist (which, by the way is useless if you're not on the extreme end of fat or skinny and don't have a metabolic issue), thinks cosmetic surgery is at the point where it can alter bone structure, and thinks whole foods isn't middle class tier?

I was under the impression there was a lot of interesting complex stuff going on in evangelion but I'll take what you say into consideration. I just didn't get into anime at the ages most fans seem to have so I lack the ability to "read" and motivation to watch it. I'm quite happy being set in my ways in terms of the media I consume, but I'll make a note of the three you've mentioned.

>>6413642
Now I already know I'm uninterested in cowboy bebop. I know he did it first but what can I gain from that which I haven't already from firefly? There's very little in terms of complex ideas or subtlety there. That I know of. If there is then I'll have to learn an entirely new audiovisual language and I'm not sure if it's worth my while.

Considering that it's the story of a man who chases what seems like the embodiment of evil, while helping the downtrodden along the way without even using violence, you have to be retarded to call it edgy.

>>6413660
Well Evangelion is still not bad, and I don't think it would be a waste of time to watch it- but I'm just not convinced that those who hail it as the best thing ever would be as impressed with it had they not related to Shinji.
I mean the movie End of Evangelion is basically 2 hours of great animation and high as fuck imagery set to the background of Anno telling you to stop being a NEET otaku and embrace the normie life.
Of course Anno sold out later with the Rebuild movies but that's another story.

Yeah, the film and all its remakes and sequels were what made it sound worthwhile. Plus even a series of films is probably less time consuming than a TV show with multiple seasons. I don't know, I had no solid plans to watch any of it, just that I probably wouldn't have objected if someone else had put it on. I'll find some streams of one or two of the shows you mentioned but brutal honesty; I'm not going to give them the benefit of the doubt if they take a while to hook me.

its not that complex
its a cartoon, but its from japan, where the concept of pacing is really bad. You can do a lot of things in cartoons you cant do visually in film (perfect blue), but a country with a fascist sense of sociability and assembly line level production of cartoons is going to have a lot of shortcomings, for every one of the animes I suggested, nobody gave better alternatives to my apparently Fedora-tier post
