Did you see the latest photo of Yi Mengling and Ma Siwei?
His hands were about to grow on her.
Uncle read a circle of comments, this time said that "I sniffed them" and "they are a good match" The number of people increased significantly.
But there are still many netizens who complain that their looks are not very matched.
Some people even issued a sigh of "being a beautiful woman is not as good as being a handsome man".
Indeed, in this era, the big handsome guy gets more than the big beauty.
Not even to mention the handsome man, a slightly flat-headed and straight-faced man, can already eat much more than the beauty dividend.
According to the "White Paper on Star Chasing and Lifestyle of Chinese Fans", women account for 76% of the active fans of entertainment stars, far more than male fans, and in the commercialization of male gender, female fans have shown amazing spending power.
Researchers at the National University Dublin found that in the workplace, the relationship between the appearance of men and women and the workplace is completely different:
For beautiful women, they are often discriminated against when looking for jobs that are classified as "men";
For men, it is another situation: handsome men always have an advantage, and never suffer from workplace white eyes, no matter what type of job they apply for, almost always have an advantage over those who are not so handsome opponents, and handsome men are the luckiest group.
On Ins, the average income of male influencers is significantly higher than that of female influencers, with the average income of female influencers posting at $218, 0.33 cents per fan, while the average income of male influencers is as high as $358, 0.5 cents per fan.
Why is the ability of men and women to realize their appearance so unequal today?
Today, Uncle Oxygen will talk to you about this phenomenon.
01
From an evolutionary perspective
Why beautiful women are indiscriminate, handsome men are scarce
The ability to realize the appearance value refers to the ability to convert the value into cash. Why is the face of a handsome man more worth a good price than the face of a beautiful woman?
Because the level of value depends on the relationship between supply and demand, to put it bluntly, the handsome man's ability to realize the value is stronger, and it is not because the handsome guy is less.
So why is there far more men than women in this world, but far fewer handsome men than beautiful women?
1, innate - natural selection, selfish genes
The process of evolution determines that the genes of handsome men are more rare than those of beautiful women.
On the one hand, at least before the Industrial Revolution, women were in a passive position, had no right to choose, and could only rely on beauty and so-called virtuousness to please men and thus obtain the means of survival.
It can be said that women are taking the route of becoming beautiful, and the direction of collective evolution is also becoming more and more beautiful. This is nature's design for women, the most conducive to their survival and reproduction of trait selection.
Why?
The book "The Evolution of Beauty" tells about an interesting point in the field of biological evolution - sexual selection.
In the process of gender selection, the active mate selection party plays a decisive role in the evolution of the traits of the passive party.
For example, the peacock's tail is eye-catching and cumbersome, but it has evolved more and more beautifully.
Although the eye-catching tail is not conducive to survival, it can attract female peacocks, promote mating and reproduction, and only by breeding can there be genetics and mutations, in order to evolve.
In the animal kingdom, the feathers and dances of male ornate birds of paradise, as well as the courtship pavilions of male gardener birds, evolved because of the aesthetic choice preferences of female birds.
This sexual choice is the same for humans.
When the evolutionary environment of human society will eliminate women at the bottom of the appearance, it will make the female group like a male peacock, and there is a sense of appearance crisis in the subconscious.
At this time, (to give everyone an analogy, easy to understand), the information engraved in the female gene is also shouting:
Pick your parents' strengths for a long time!!! In this way, we can better adapt to the sexual selection mechanism of human society!!!
Look at the male side.
Since ancient times, male competition does not depend on whether men are handsome or not, survival and reproduction are more dependent on physical fitness and brains, and slowly evolved into money.
Anyway, there are no external conditions to urge men to grow longer and more handsome.
The strong ability to compete means that there is a higher right for women to choose a mate.
Ho Hung-sun in his youth
I don't know if you have found that the parents of a big beautiful woman may not be very outstanding, but the parents of a big handsome guy are most likely handsome/beautiful.
This is because the genes of modern handsome men are not easily possessed by the efforts of a generation, and the high probability is based on the ancestors who have the right to choose a mate for several generations (which can be understood as old money), and they are really married to generations of beautiful wives.
So from the perspective of evolution and genetics, the appearance of modern beauty has external conditions that promote + the components of their own genetic efforts;
And modern handsome men, mostly rely on five or six generations of maternal beauty, little by little evolved.
When "reproduction > survival", women do not simply like handsome men, they are also choosing the direction of evolution.
2, the day after tomorrow - judging criteria, acquired appearance management
Judging from the evaluation criteria of the day after tomorrow:
Beauty is diverse, and can also rely on clothing, makeup, hair, plastic surgery and other means to cover up the deficiencies.
But when you are asked what kind of handsome guy in your heart is, you can only say a few adjectives such as tall, thick eyebrows and big eyes, because handsome guys only look at faces and figures.
Beautiful women can be from 155-180cm, but there is a qualitative difference between boys, 165cm looks handsome and 180cm looks handsome.
The facial features are not good to see and can be plasticized, and the height is really not folded. Therefore, the handsome man lost a part of it.
Look at the face shocked, see the height of 170 to dissuade some people
From the perspective of the face value management of the day after tomorrow:
Girls have more awareness and means of face value management than boys, skin care products, medical beauty, weight loss and so on.
A lot of handsome guys have been ugly by themselves, just relying on genes is not enough, even if the star is fat, it will ruin everything, let alone a face of acne.
Shen Teng's parents, no matter how good their genes are, can't stand the blessing
In addition, taste also occupies a part, as long as it is not the appearance of the gods, the taste of clothing also has a great impact on the image.
Many boys not only have poor taste, but can even be said to be sloppy, so the handsome guy loses another wave.

By this point, there were few handsome men left, and the beautiful women were still standing firm.
From the vertical (male and female appearance evolution direction + men and women themselves acquired appearance management) after talking about the scarcity of big handsome men, we look at it from the horizontal (gender market), why there are very few handsome men.
02
From the aesthetic logic of the gender market
Why big handsome guys are scarce
In the gender market, the aesthetic standards for women are determined by men; conversely, the aesthetic standards for men are determined by women.
To see whether men are handsome or not, it mainly depends on whether they conform to women's aesthetics.
1, since ancient times, handsome men have been continuously eliminated by the gender market
Because women's aesthetic emphasis on men has never been handsome.
Primitive societies look at the body. Why do some women now think that the figure is greater than the appearance? This is a call from ancient DNA.
In primitive society, body and physique are the most important criteria for women to evaluate men, while whether the face is flawed, the teeth are not white, and the eyes are not large or small are completely out of consideration.
Feudal society/pre-modern society looks at money. The best reproductive age for a man is not 25-35, but when he has money.
Rich men, 70 years old is also sexy, 60 years old is flourishing, 50 years old wild boy, 40 years old is simply a beautiful man who can pinch the water, and the handsome man without money can only be said to be a walking succession machine.
It was also in the postmodern era that the handsome man's face became valuable, and only then did someone begin to pay the bill.
2. In the gender market, the scarcity of buyers determines the scarcity of sellers
For example, weak men with white and thin, the higher the class of men pay more attention to whether women have a sense of elegance, wisdom, authority and other characteristics that weak men do not understand, or even fear.
Aesthetics have always been linked to power, and high-ranking men are more scarce than weak men, so women with elegance, wisdom, and authority are more precious than white and thin.
In the same way, the big handsome man may be the rich woman who pays the bill, the big beauty, and the big rich man who pays the bill. Rich and rich, who do you think is more scarce?
Finally, Uncle Oxygen wants to say that handsome men have a stronger ability to realize their appearance than beautiful women, and the ladies here do not need to be angry, they should be happy.
At the moment of the development of the entertainment industry, beauty has become a tool for capital extraction, both men and women. Now men can be seen everywhere surviving and reproducing on a handsome face.
Similarly, modern women have the opportunity to show their strength, and survival and reproduction by mind, mind, hard work and physical fitness will also become a trend.
Israel waiter, face value anxiety, the bitterness of the face value, who is willing to taste it, taste it.
To tell the truth, some women around Uncle Oxygen who have both beauty and ability do not like others to casually call her beautiful, and this kind of title implies that for thousands of years, men have regarded women as a kind of obscure psychology.
As for the woman's heart, character, wisdom, tenacity, hard work, etc., it is placed in the second place of beauty.
Gu Ailing, who is excellent in everything, will not like to hear others call her a beautiful woman
Perhaps, men can rely more and more on the face to eat, but also force the male group to improve their appearance.
Look forward to the day when handsome guys abuse the market.
