LPP Very Happy He has taught me well. Cool It's how it is, no point in getting embittered. You are better off looking past your instincts if you can, that's what I've done and that's what I will always try to do. That way you will treat other people better and you will feel better about yourself. (MR_BOGAN wisdom!!)
Personally I try to think for myself.
Though there is a great biological imperative I think that you are oversimplifying it. Our past interactions and experiences greatly affect what we look for in a mate. Science has proven that symmetric equals attractive, but as for personality and what image that individual has is more determined by your mother or father than instinct. As humans our bodies and minds have long memories. If it was our instincts to look past we would never be able to even consider looking past them. What we need to do is unlearn our past lessons (or at least the bad ones).

I don't all together agree with the Alpha Male because I've been attracted to what is sometimes deemed "unattractive" in our "culture."
Haven't we all (alpha female or male).
