and my point is that it's not for the same reason as males in the animal world do it.

Maybe not all the time, but it is generally for attention, whether it is for compliments from other women, male attention or other (if there is any other!). It doesn't necessarily mean it is sexual.

its possible certain birds might try to attack you if you're wearing bright colors... if that counts as attention.

then again i don't think this will actually happen at all.

flowers are brightly coloured as well to attract bees, and they're hermaphrodite arent they?!

humans aren't animals as we have a conscience, the same which makes us conscious of our appearance. I don't think animals really give a shit and are more likely to get eaten than to go out to their equivalent of tiger tiger on the lash in the hope of ending up in some next flat naked opening curtains to reveal an unfamiliar place

etc. you get the drift. its jus the (instinctual) way they are.

Except Peacocks and this breh who has some serious game

easy on the brylecream though...

Transvestism?

This doesn't hold true for all species, anyway.

Its interesting though- do women in most cultures wear some form of make-up? I was going to say its probably a social custom rather than an innately instinctual thing but then I suppose even in small 'uncivilised' tribes you get women wearing jewellery, paint etc... and men with tattooos, jewellery...

Actually....there are several cultures outside of Western ones where the men are the ones puttin on makeup and preening for the women...like, the Wodaabe in Africa (personally I just love the men in this tribe)

Sorry....I'm horribly addicted to National Geographic

different things are desirable in different tribes and cultures though - e.g footbinding for small feet in women in china, neck stretching, ear lobe stretching....

They all fall under one category of body modification, but true that, in different places different things are found beautiful. In widely understood western culture men bulking up could be equivalent of those - more so than getting tattooed for example.

Yep, I was just wondering if we have some form of body modification that would be widely considered attractive. I guess muscles and boobs that is, heh.

Though I can think of some people that don't care that much about any of them

thats because rape isn't a crime of desire as much as its a crime of power.
