Nov 17 2012: What is intelligence?
Can I suggest that you try reading
"The brain that learns" or
"The Brain That Changes Itself"?
It won't change your intelligence, but it may help you understand the topic.
Cheers
Nov 17 2012: Hi,
I'm female and these are my comments.
I remember hearing in a Psychology lecture that there is a valid reason for women wearing high heels. To maintain balance, the woman needs to alter the angle of her pelvis. For some reason (which I have forgotten) this makes her appear more fertile – e.g. sexually attractive.
Men are "hard wired" to be sexually attracted to fertile women.
Griffin Tucker - I’m not sure a change of attitude will be sufficient.
Morgan Barnes - I personally find high heeled boots comfortable (10cm, 4inches). I think it is because the top of the foot is enclosed and supported. Luckily I live in the coldest capital city in Australia; Canberra. Because yes, like 99.99% of women, I do want to look sexually attractive - even though I am past child bearing age.
Feyisayo Anjorin – Yes, the media has a lot to answer for. Frustratingly, instead of women rebelling against the ideal and creating a more “comfortable” future, men are now being pressured and objectified by the media. Young males of high school age are feeling pressure about their bodies and are attending gyms to buff up.
Men – a question for you.
Do you find wearing a tie comfortable?
