Considering some recent exchanges in the forum, I felt it worthwhile to give this one a bump...

Re: Adolescent fascination

They are new,
absorbing,
and devloping a brain
that will one day realize the difference between itself
and the mind
that it claims to be losing.

Imagine being new again.
You'll find SOME answers there, not all.

As hips bare children, breasts nourish them.
So we're attracted to women who can (obviously ) by the size of her breasts, hips, lips, other seemingly illogical sexualy taboo elements of anatomy, give birth to, nourish, and support offspring.

my two bits.

Tons of psychological research has been done on this.
By the time you're 21 or so, your personality is pretty much set.
Middle school/ early highschool were THE worst for me. I started thinking. Thinking about things that most other pre-teen/teenagers weren't thinking about. I lost my faith in man-kind as a whole. I lost my spirituality(I've never been religious due to my upbringing). I thought of very depressing stuff all the time. I was also very depressed because I hated the way the school system worked. Your grades were based on your work ethic... not your intelligence.... which bothered the hell out of me.... because I've always had a sloth like work ethic when it came to anything I wasn't interested in. I've never been interested in any sort of general ED. School in general, was HELL for me.

Luckily, i discovered the proficiency... and graduated a year and three months early.

I also discovered weed during middle school. Which helped me relax a little.

Then.... Shrooms in highschool. Which made me happy again. I started feeling like I was in elementary school again. Being able to laugh at the innocent things in life again was a huge relief.

Then... after i graduated highschool. I discovered the power of many other psychadelics. After doing acid, I was happy again. I felt like a child again. Everything seems so much more fresh and new. I feel like I can appreciate everything a little more with the help of psychadelics.

I think the key to being happy... is just not growing up in spirit.

Being too serious is far too boring.

I think that as we grow older, it's harder to realize how beautiful everything is.

A flower. Lots of people grow numb to the sight of a flower.... and stop caring.

I stopped caring for a while.

Then I re-discovered the world.

And now... I'm so amazed by so many things.

Thank god for psychadelics.

They saved me.

Seriously.

mmm, you think like I do, john.

I realized while I was on shrooms once.... that wide hips are naturally sexy because it's more likely for a woman with large hips to be able to carry and give birth to a baby. But I never really thought of the large breast idea. But it makes total sense.

Glad to see you signed up finally, john. happy posting.

Re: Adolescent fascination

You guys should check out something called the "waist to hip ratio." It's exactly what you are talking about, just made scientific. A guy named Devendra Singh, an old professor of mine, is credited with coming up with it. Females should be 0.7 and males 0.9... roughly. Despite how heavy or big boned you are, if your ratio is close the above, you are seen as fertile and healthy... it's not cultural either, but confirmed across the globe and across cultures.

I for one do not believe there is a biological divide between adolescent mentality and any other. It is an artificial cultural distinction foisted on youth to compel them to conform.

These are a manifestation of you lack of fulfillment of several basic needs. Are you single?

There is a basic human need for continued mental, emotional and physical development I would consider those who move past a developmental stage to be dysfunctional. In short we never stop being children.

Interesting, but I have never been to keen on notion of the ideal body. I find that I am attracted to a very broad range of broads. Young old, short tall, big nose, big feet, big hands, big teeth. I even like chubby though not obese.
Some say that dear old Mom may provide your prototype but I think this is more along the lines of personality and intellect rather than appearance. Though on can have a subconscious associations of a personality type with a body type.
There was a selective pressure in my choice of mates. I consciously chose my wife over here rivals for her courage and tenacity, though I have paid for that many times over, and for her large stature and sturdy build. Let me clarify lest she peak over my shoulder. My wife is heavily muscled for a woman and 5,8.
