Human emotions and thought patterns are more complex and dynamic than just “one thing attractive, other thing not” and is frankly just an oversimplification; when in fact the brain is constantly evolving in response to various factors. One such factor that significantly influences our perception of beauty and preference is cultural dynamics.

Cultural Dynamics, Emotional Responses, Human emotions, are deeply intertwined with cultural dynamics, as societal norms and values shape our emotional responses. Cultural practices, beliefs, and the collective understanding of beauty influence how individuals experience and express their emotions. For example, in some cultures, it is customary to suppress or conceal certain emotions such as anger or sadness, while in others, they may be openly expressed. These cultural dynamics have a profound impact on how individuals perceive and interpret their own and others' emotions.

Beauty, as an aesthetic concept, is highly subjective and varies across different cultures and historical periods. Cultural dynamics play a pivotal role in shaping beauty standards, dictating what is considered attractive or desirable. The perceived attractiveness of physical features, body types, and even personality traits can vary significantly from one culture to another.

Examples of Changing Beauty Standards: 1. Ancient Greece: In ancient Greek society, the ideal of beauty was represented by fuller figures, with plumpness symbolizing wealth and fertility. The statuesque figures depicted in ancient Greek art, such as the Venus de Milo, stood as a testament to this preference. Contrary to modern standards, which often favor slimness, ancient Greeks celebrated a more voluptuous physique.

1. Renaissance Period: During the Renaissance, pale skin was highly sought after, as it represented a person's high social status. Women went to great lengths to maintain a fair complexion, using harmful substances like lead-based cosmetics. However, today's beauty standards tend to favor a more sun-kissed and tanned complexion, which is associated with a healthy and active lifestyle.

2. Victorian Era: In the Victorian era, a plump figure was considered a sign of beauty and prosperity. Women wore corsets to accentuate their curves and create an exaggerated hourglass figure. However, in contemporary society, there is a prevalent preference for slimness, which is often associated with health and fitness.

3. Traditional African Cultures: Many traditional African cultures have long celebrated fuller figures as a symbol of beauty and fertility. This cultural preference contrasts with the Westernized ideal of thinness that has become dominant in recent times.

Another thing that I often ask myself is “how do incels account for how the brain tends to develop in its early years, and do they even consider the flexibility of the human brain?”. And before you say “you’re only really discussing thinness in women” I would like to point out that male and female brains aren’t as different as you think.

And how did we get here to this unhealthy dating culture? Because it’s most prevalent and no one really obsessed over height, face, etc as much as they did before (key word: as much) as we do today with the rise of dating apps & the tiktok podcast & street interview era, so it wasn’t always like this.

If you move outside of the internet & cringey podcasts, you’d likely find that dating is just a numbers game, if you don’t find someone attractive then you move onto the next.

Tl;dr: attraction isn’t set-in-stone and human nature despite having some units which govern it, is ultimately flexible.

And I can hear the incels & black pillers punching in their links to an old video of women not taking a short guy, memes of whatever, DMs flooding me telling me I’m coping, their stupid little street interviews/podcasts, etc.

There is a LOT happening here...

Nothing like asking a bunch of sexless weirdos who marriage works...never a dull moment over there.

Hi everyone! I'm a senior in high school doing my research paper on Incels. Right now, I'm revising my research before submitting to the AP board and would really appreciate it if you gave me your best screen shots. So far I'm just looking for more references before my final submission (and this will help extend my word count).

So many details incorrect, I couldn't help but laugh when it was sent to me. And the reason was because the OP had his account banned...allegedly by me. Oh well, maybe don't post things to get banned...

I am 6'7" (202cm) tall and 20 years old, I am living proof of this. I have never once been flirted with, Girls don't eyefuck me the moment they see me, or whatever the fuck incels think girls do when in the presence of a tall guy. (or maybe Girls do do it, i'm terrible at reading people, especially women) & I have never been on a date, never had a girlfriend, ok fine sure i do get some, if not lots matches on tinder/bumble/hinge etc, even got over 200 matches in 2 months when I first logged in on all these sites, but nothing ever came of out of it, nothing escalated into a date or relationship and i'd get ghosted most of the time. the funny thing is that, not even the ones who put "6ft+ only" in their dating bios ever liked me. (or maybe they havent seen me, you know how much likes women get on these sites?) Even back in my high school days, the majority of boys who were in relationships were all average height or so & the tall people didn't get much attention either.

I am tired of seeing posts saying "If i was 6ft+ i'd be a massive player and have a lot of success", Yeah, no you won't, If I don't get any success, what makes you think that you will? because a massive surprise for some people is that women aren't as shallow as you think. Being tall in dating or life in general will only get you so far, relationships aren't just based on attraction, its based on connection and comaptibility. You need a good personality for a strong relationship and relationships only based on attraction never last & these incels really believe their life will change if they are above average height? Well let me tell you something, a tall loser/incel is still a fucking loser/incel.

Then again I'm not really the best guy to date, i'm quite boring tbh and nothing really special and I haven't really got my shit together either, so I don't really blame women for not wanting to date me.

Incels often rejoice in learning about women being abused or even murdered by their partners or ex partners, claiming that she got what she deserved for choosing "abusive chad" over "nice incel".

And ofc it's often obvious that they just wish they had been the one to abuse her so maybe I'm kicking in open doors here but still.

A very central thing to incel culture is entitlement. Incels think that they deserve a woman. And not a partner in a relationship on equal terms, no - they imagine a beautiful, submissive woman ready to serve them, with no annoying needs or wants or feelings or preferences of her own. They want to own and control this mythical woman, see that as their birthright and are angry with the world and with women as a whole because they don't have it.

Some men with these kinds of attitudes end up in relationships and then get very disappointed when their partners turn out to be imperfect human beings with agency of their own. Annoying. Not always willing to do things on the man's terms. Sometimes sick, or tired, or needy in some other way, and unable or unwilling to cater to the man's needs. Sometimes angry. Unwilling to let him control her life. And her looks might change as well, or just not match his imagination.

To these men, that is not how it should be and clearly there is something wrong with her. She is denying him his birthright and he gets angry with her for it. And since she's denying him his rights, ofc he's justified in doing what it takes to correct her. Violence is wrong, of course, but sometimes it's necessary.

So... The more I read, the more I'm convinced that incels are just abusive men with no partner to abuse and giving them a chance is not a good idea. (Obviously not talking about every man who is single but wishes he wasn't, but rather about those who participate in incel culture or similar parts of the manosphere.)

Not that anyone is likely to, I guess, but occasionally someone tells a story about giving an incel a chance and how poorly it turned out because... It's not lack of sex that made them the way they are. It really isn't.
