The differences and similarities of female attraction between humans, other mammals and other classes of animalia are a fascinating subject and one that has important effects on human behavior. In animals, in most cases, the female provides the hosting system for the initial development of new of the species. Males provide their genetic material to the female, who in most species and varieties of species become the main initial system for immature offspring. In many species (not all) males act as an auxiliary to females in their role of caring for juveniles and who mates with a given female is, in many species, a matter of female choice.
This is generally true among humans, but with noteworthy and deplorable exceptions.
Where female determination prevails, two standards usually apply.
- Superiority as a provider/protector.
- Superior aesthetic attractiveness.
Both signal good genetic material. Humans are a little unusual in that it is common for one or the other factors to dominate female attraction, or both.
In this case, the male being observed is of above average physical development implying ability as a protector, possibly as a provider, and probably as an aesthetically pleasing partner.
Unique insofar as we know, the human male must also meet a set of behavioral criteria, established in the expectations of the female.
The variety in both female and male preferences covers a wide range and is sometimes less dependent on any one type of attractive characteristic, but on the "right combination" for that particular female at a specific point in time.
Complicating this, male attraction is based on a similar range of factors. Finding a mutual attraction that can be sustained over decades of coexistence is a very difficult calculation and one not always made correctly. First, they must find each other attractive, before they can get to know each other well enough to evaluate whether they think attraction can be sustained.

Edwin Loftus is an American painter and draftsman born in 1951. His interest in art began at the age of 4 when he decided to draw something real rather than working from his imagination.
As a child he excelled at drawing and as a teenager he began to experiment with oil painting. In college, he took courses in art and art history and realized that true art had nothing to do with the quality of the drawing or painting, but that it had to have the ambition to push the boundaries and expand the visual experience.
He also studied philosophy, psychology and history and quickly realized that it was just another art establishment trying to defend its elitist industry and reward system. Their skills were almost non-existent, they knew nothing about psychology, perception or stimulus response, and they were extensions of the belief system that made communism, fascism and other forms of totalitarianism such destructive forces in the world. They literally believe that art shouldn't be available to ordinary human beings, but only to an elite "sophisticated" enough to understand it.
Edwin Loftus realized that the emperors of art had no clothes, but they were still the emperors. Gifted in art, he worked hard to acquire this skill. So he found other ways to make a living and sold a few artworks from time to time. For sixty years, many people enjoyed his works and some collected them.
Today, Edwin Loftus is retired. Even if he sold all his paintings for the price he asked, "artist" would be the lowest paid job he ever had... but that's the way it is. It won't matter to him after he dies. He just hopes that some people will like what he does enough to enjoy it in the future.
