I was watching one of those reality romance shows (The Bachelor, Bachelorette the other day and it got me thinking...
Obviously it's a competition reality show where "contestants" compete for acceptance, attention, and ultimately Love from the main character. In real life we are around many different people from both sex's. As many people know a man who is tall with broad shoulders and a flat stomach will be seen as a prospective mate because he will create healthy and strong children. It is the same from a man's point of view. A pretty woman with larger breasts and hourglass hips/curves signify that she is able to carry the man's children. We think about these things subconciously. That being said, many people do their best to look beautiful and healthy. (For personal esteem and to look/be attractive) They may see several people of the opposite sex daily. Why should they choose you? Are we in a way competing for an authentic connection just like the romance shows but without the cameras, producers, and audience?
(Note: There are many other factors that can attract mates outside of physical appearance. However, I bring up appearance because it is often the first thing we base each other off of and we are instinctively designed to subconciously see certain physical features as fit for creating offspring.
