sexual dimorphism and diet Anonymous 112769

why does it seem like sexual dimorphism fails at enhancing both genders? like, if a country produces tall men, they must also produce tall women. or vice versa. that's kind of sad. i feel like in an ideal world, all the women would be tiny and the men would be muscley and bear like. it's just hawt, i dunno.

i can only really imagine that maybe diet can enhance both genders' sexual dimorphism. apparently, sexually dimorphic diets do exist in nature, with the siberian ibex's (a type of wild goat) eating behaviors containing more biomass, while the female siberian ibex eats lesser foods, but with higher nutritional quality. it's interesting to think how sexually dimorphic behaviors evolve in different species of animals, and how humans have unconsciously (or consciously) adopted these types of behaviors as well.

Huh?
great apes in general don't have as much sexual dimorphism as other animals. But generally, sticking to birds here since op's pic is birds, a large breed of chicken will have large roosters and large hens. Sexual dimorphism doesn't have any bearing on what sort of like… ideal femininity scrotes decide is. Picrel. Plus in raptor species, the females are larger than the males by like 1/3rd.

The development of sexually dimorphic traits is the result of hormones and sex chromosomes, not diet. Also your idea of what a woman should look like is kind of pornbrained, obvs no one should be fat but tall and hunky women are fine.

>i feel like in an ideal world, all the women would be tiny and the men would be muscley and bear like.
Unfortunately it seems that in real life an overwhelming supermajority of men instinctively prefer taller women over shorter women, and have to be socially conditioned out of this preference by a wave of formative sexual rejections from taller and generally older women during puberty.

This intense social and sexual pressure from undeveloped and genetically disqualified males then causes tall women to develop an intense self loathing that ties directly into this cycle of bad sexual attention from obviously inadequate males. The LC thread on her told me that Belle Delphine is at minimum 5'9" in real life. I don't know if that's true, maybe she really is the claimed 5'6" and every other woman or e-celebrity photographed near to her massively overstate their own heights. It would explain a lot.

However, we can see that refusal to engage in this ritual has left Gen Z men (and will leave Gen Alpha males) unable to overcome or repress their instinctive giantess fetish. I expect that as AI generated and augmented media continues to advance we will find the average female height in male-targeted media will exceed human possibility at which point simple male gene line extinction might finally work this issue out.

idk my brother is a lot taller than me. people should just go for increased sexual dimorphism as opposed to fixed traits

Anonymous 112779

also, lifestyle also plays a role in sexual dimorphism. if a male is stunted height wise due to nutritional deficiencies, it may seem he is not genetically sexually dimorphic, when in reality, its due to environment.
of course i dont actually think sexual dimorphism should be forcibly imposed on humans in some shame-humiliation ritual. what do you think i am, a moid?

I know it's not a popular opinion around here but, I feel the exact same.

I feel like humans are, in practice, a lot more sexually dimorphic than what our naked biological forms show because we typically deliberately make ourselves even more masculine/femenine with choice of clothing, hairstyle, conscious choice of behaviour and voice tone, etc. There's even makeup, choice of gym activity (weights vs cardio) and stuff like that too.

I think we haven't physically become like peacocks or gorillas with even more pronounced default sexually dimorphic physical forms because intelligence and making and using inventions has just been too strong of a sexual strategy over the millennia.

it’s advantageous for males and females of the same species to consume similar resources because that way they can share them. obv there’s gonna be a lot of animals that go against that, but for mammals and birds and such it’s generally true just because of their mating strategies

This is the weirdest nonsense I have ever read. Men have always preferred shorter women.

When men say that they mean 1 to 2 inches shorter than themselves. They do not care that this sounds like they want someone shorter compared with other women.

https://www.enkirelations.com/ideal-height-for-women.html
>Men who are taller than 6’0” generally prefer women of about 5’8” to 5’11”, while shorter men in the range of 5’8” to 5’11” tend to prefer women in the same height bracket.
Very, very few women are above 5'7". And yet somehow that 1.5% of the population of women by height receive numerically as many swipes as women whose height matches 30% of the population, meaning that being significantly above average provides 20x the attention.
https://www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/dating/most-attractive-height-for-man-woman-a3846246.html

Obviously there's more to life than dating apps. And that means more spaces in which tall women have a serious advantage. Tall women can reasonably expect to get away with murders for which shorter women would be convicted:

A common theory is that there was less selective pressure for women. When women were pregnant it was up to the man to wait at a watering hole, hurl a javelin and chase down injured game over 15 miles in the hot sun, so the survival of their child depended more on the man's performance. Evolutionary psychology seems to be a point of contention among feminists, but I see the logic in this.

However at the olympics men are only about 10% faster in the 100m and the marathon while 40% stronger in weightlifting. Strength seems to be more significant, while the extra power and range using weapons is useful in hunting, there might have been selective pressure due to tribal warfare or perhaps controlling women and social dominance. There are certainly some grim elements of human nature, on the internet the edgiest theories will float to the top, though I'd like to know the truth. I'd rank all this as speculation.

I feel like it's also neurological to a degree, even if you have the raw physical speed and strength, you still need the right brain to pilot the 'ole flesh golem around in a way that is able to outdo prey that has evolved to avoid you, figure out the best way to be lethal to enemy tribes, etc.

Just look at how much men sperg over combat in videogames and its strategy and details. They're hardwired to desire to become efficient hunters and murderers.

I don't think it's a bad thing, specialization is useful, but it might be overlooked if you only look at speed/strength performance.

Anonymous 112867

Oh, nevermind. I thought you meant women taller than them or 6ft and above.
But I also think that men don't really know what 5'11 women look like since it's so rare.

Soooo incorrect. Women should be far larger than the men, it's way hotter that way.

heres another late night rant
nothings wrong with not being sexually dimorphic, but also, don't be afraid to be sexually dimorphic. so many people try to make a competition out of how "masculine" or "feminine" they are, everyone else becomes afraid to express sexual dimorphism because of how obnoxious those people are. they become afraid of expressing their gendered qualities, even if they actually like it deep down, because they get told that only "x" person, or "x group" is sexually dimorphic. nothings wrong with sexual dimorphism, and no one should feel ashamed for wanting to express it. a lot of people actually like it. so many people suppress their gender because other people are obnoxious about it
stop caring. trust me, everyone finds those people grating.

Then you sound like a depraved fucking degenerate that likes men overpowering and physically/sexuALLYabusing women. Go stick a knife in both your eyes for all our fucking sakes and dont come back.

Is it the source of the problems… or is it the reason things work at all in the first place?
Think about it if you remove sexual dimorphism and just make every animal the exact same then wouldn't that also decrease some of the pressure to find a mate? Because why would you need to team up with someone who is exactly the same as you? Wouldn't it be more useful to team up with someone who is different enough that you each have unique strengths to cover each other's weaknesses?
But in reality there are species that are very dimorphic and plenty that are barely dimorphic at all. Both strategies clearly work. The crazy thing is I think humans are more on the "barely dimorphic" side when you really look at it. It's not at all unrealistic to have a male and female human that are similar in nearly every way. Men are what 10-20% taller than women on average if that and have only minor mostly nonfunctional differences in terms of features. This would be unthinkable in certain other species. The dimorphism of humans just seems exaggerated to you simply because you are a human so it's personal. So it's hard for me to believe that dimorphism causes so many problems for humans if they aren't even very dimorphic.

>>112776

Meds. NOW.
your own source says
>The average man prefers a woman who is 5’6”.
they call that "above average" in the article but the average is 5'5 in many places so we're in the realm of statistical error from average. most likely men just prefer AVERAGE HEIGHT for a woman.

>When men say that they mean 1 to 2 inches shorter than themselves.

wrong again, the average man isn't 5'7-5'8, he is 5'9-5'10 in the US and most of Europe so that's 4-5 inches of difference, not 1-2.
the part you quoted must be some kind of horrible phrasing accident. none of it makes sense, the author really fucked up. by "same height bracket" they must have meant that you can linearly shift up and down on both sides (a slightly taller man will prefer a slightly taller woman), NOT that 5'8 men somehow want a 5'8-5'11 woman which is an ABSURD idea. that would completely contradict the earlier passage in the same article. I can't blame you for getting confused by this aneurysm tier article but then again your reading comprehension is even worse than the author's and you're spouting even worse misinformation ITT.

speaking of, as for the partner murder claim, you misread it entirely. the shorter the woman the more likely she will get away with killing her partner. being a shorter woman gives that "victim in need of protection" bonus, even if you kill someone:
>Analyses revealed an abuser height and abuser gender interaction such that conviction rates for women defendants were higher when her abuser was taller compared to when he was shorter than she

There might be some truth to OP's claim. I remember reading that sexual dimorphism was more pronounced on agrarian societies thsn among hunter-gatherers

Think of rock climbers, the difference isn't that stark, and in the most primitiva days, people must've looked like that

same, my sisters and i are, 5'7 5'8 and 5'10
my brothers are 6'4 and 6'6, theyre 17 and 16 respectively so they will probably end up at 6'5 and 6'7.

Also my female cousins average around 5'5 but my male cousins average around 6'1, some families just naturally somehow produce more dimorphic people

Sometimes I think the final stage of the pinkpill is that feminism cannot be allowed to actually succeed. Imagine the misery of women who have to be drafted and suffer in wars. To experience a much higher rate of violence. To have to be with men who are as short, as meek and as craving of being dominated. Women would break down.

Then you sound like you've never had to live with an abusive male that constantly threatens and beats and lives to terrorize you. Or an oblivious fucking moid. Sexual dimorphism is disgusting. I wake up more to it everyday and see more of how power is used to dominate and control women everyday.

If anything humans are probably losing sexual dimorphism. The thing being that a lot of differences, mainly in physical strength, height, etc. just aren't necessary anymore or are an active hindrance.

They'll lose them if women stop selecting for those traits in men. Humans are actually likely to experience even more runaway evolution. Runaway evolution is when traits are so overdeveloped they become unhealthy, but are these way because females are increasingly attracted to men who stand out sexually. Examples are peacock feathers and moose antlers. Now that there's really no natural pressure on humans because of medicine, agriculture and so on, humans are free to accelerate down the runway into God knows what forms in the future.
