Ser att jag råkade felanvända ordet
»implantera«; får bjuda på den anglicismen/gallicismen.

haha, tänk till nu killar

Du förstod väl ändå att det
Lantbruk-inlägg som du besvarade var sarkastiskt?!
Du har fortfarande inte förklarat exakt vad som
Lantbruk skall taga tag i – i sitt liv; måste han resa runt med ryggsäck i Asien eller Sydamerika för att komma utanför hemmets trygga vrå som skall öka hans självförtroende? Och detta antager jag på något magiskt sätt skall få kvinnor att attraheras av honom?
Skrev förut ett inlägg som går in på det här:

Jag tror att det beror på att vi har blivit helt rövknullade av liberalismen, så att många av oss inte längre kan se helheten. I en tråd anklagade jag en FB-användare för att leva i en »The Sims«-värld. En del verkar inte förstå att vi lever i en värld där vi födes med olika förutsättningar, vilket således innebär att alla inte är lika extroverta, har lika hög status eller är lika snygga. I spelet
The Sims skulle jag kunna bygga fem hus med åtta vuxna simmar i varje hushåll på samma gata, där jag låter samtliga simmar välja karriärsbanan »Politik«, så skulle samtliga 40 simmar kunna bliva borgmästare över Sim City (alltså toppen av karriärsstegen »Politik«). Det räcker för dem att fixa tillräckligt med vänner (bliva vänner med varandra) och färdigheter samt åka till jobbet för att lyckas med detta. För att få en kvinna på fall räcker det med att umgås med henne tillräckligt mycket innan hon går med på att ha »myspys«.
I verkligheten är det förstås helt annorlunda: Bara en person kan vara borgmästare i en stad samtidigt, och för att nå dit räcker det inte med att känna vem som helst – utan rätt folk; några direkta färdigheter utöver att vara verbalt begåvad, se bra ut och att i denna tidsålder suga rätt (omskurna) kukar tror jag inte att man behöver. För att få ragga på ett fruntimmer kräves det att hon först har godkänt en rent utseendemässigt.

Ni utgår från att det är främst mannens självförtroendet som kvinnor attraheras av, och att detta självförtroende uppnås genom att »lämna hemmets trygga vrå« eller »uppfylla egenuppsatta mål«; det här går in på min »The Sims«-teori: På något magiskt sätt lever vi i egna små universa helt frikopplade från verkligheten, där vi har alla möjligheter i universum att åstadkomma vad vi vill.
Låtom oss låtsas att det i spelet
The Sims 2 existerar en självförtroendemästre som påminner om ambitionsmätaren fast med några modifikationer gentemot den senare: Den kan ökas genom uppfylla egenuppsatta mål, som exempelvis få åtta poäng i »Teknik« och för varje poäng i »Teknik« han uppnår ökas hans självförtroende med 10 poäng. För att kunna attrahera en simska måste han ha minst 60 poäng (sextio poäng – inte ha sex med tiopoängare). När han har uppnått sex (siffran 6 – inte samlag/myspys) poäng i »Teknik« har han 60 poäng i självförtroende börjar simskorna att attraheras av honom, och han kan ragga på dem utan att de simsslappar honom.
Men i verkligheten är det annorlunda:

Citat:
From infancy we look for encouragement and approval. Yet our culture does not readily give this. Parents can be tough taskmasters in seeking the best for their children, as many of you may know. Young people have a tendency to be intolerant of difference and often mock their peers who are clever or hard working. The educational system with its emphasis on league tables implicitly demands more and more and leaves less scope for valuing improvement. There is a constant bombardment of messages telling us we should be young, slim, beautiful, fashionably dressed, have a lover and money to spend. Personal acknowledgement of ability and pride in oneself can be regarded as being arrogant, boastful, or conceited.
Rejection at any age is likely to undermine self-esteem. Events like parents separating, a boy or girlfriend being unfaithful, being ostracised by friends or picked on by peers, dealing with an unsuccessful application, having an accident, a burglary, or coping with a death are likely to provoke feelings of loss and threat. For some this is temporary, while for others the effects are long-lasting.
Conversely, success is a great ego booster, and academic achievement is an obvious source of success. However, the competitive environment that UCL can sometimes be can lead to self-doubt and insecurity. There is a lot of pressure on students to do well for the sake of parents, departments, and the UCL as a whole. In fact, you may even feel that other people over-estimate your ability and this burden of expectation can lead to a sense of failure and impossibility.
However, what we feel about ourselves is not based solely on what we do, it usually involves our relationships with others and whether we feel worthwhile as people. We need to be wanted, noticed, and included. We want to contribute, be of value, and make a difference - in other words to matter.
Our self-esteem continually fluctuates and is affected by events and encounters with other people. We are also constantly judging and evaluating ourselves, often in comparison with others. Observing ourselves in relation to other people can be a helpful source of learning and feedback. Yet all too often comparison slips into competition and others become a yardstick by which we evaluate ourselves as good or bad, competent or inadequate.
The reality is we are all different. Each of us has strengths and limitations which we need to learn about and learn to live with. There are aspects of our behaviour and appearance we may seek to change or develop, but a sense of self is also based on self-awareness and self-acceptance.

Nature has played a trick on men: production of spermatozoa occurs at a rate several orders of magnitude greater than female ovulation (about 12 million per hour vs. 400 per lifetime). This is a natural, not a moral, fact. Among the lower animals also, the male is grossly oversupplied with something for which the female has only a limited demand. This means that the female has far greater control over mating. The universal law of nature is that males display and females choose. Male peacocks spread their tales, females choose. Male rams butt horns, females choose. Among humans, boys try to impress girls—and the girls choose. Nature dictates that in the mating dance, the male must wait to be chosen.

Once monogamy is abolished, no restriction is placed on a woman’s choices. Hence, all women choose the same few men. If Casanova had 132 lovers it is because 132 different women chose him. Such men acquire harems, not because they are predators, but because they happen to be attractive. The problem is not so much male immorality as simple arithmetic; it is obviously impossible for every woman to have exclusive possession of the most attractive man. If women want to mate simply as their natural drives impel them, they must, rationally speaking, be willing to share their mate with others.

Symmetry equals sex
Starting at conception, the human body develops by neatly splitting cells. If every division were to go perfectly, the result would be a baby whose left and right sides are mirror images. But nature doesn't work that way. Genetic mutations and environmental pressures skew symmetry, and the results have lifelong implications.
Good symmetry shows that an individual has the genetic goods to survive development, is healthy, and is a good and fertile choice for mating.
"It makes sense to use symmetry variation in mate choice," said evolutionary biologist Randy Thornhill of the University of New Mexico. "If you choose a perfectly symmetrical partner and reproduce with them, your offspring will have a better chance of being symmetric and able to deal with perturbations."
Thornhill has been studying symmetry for 15 years and scanned faces and bodies into computers to determine symmetry ratios. Both men and women rated symmetrical members of the opposite sex as more attractive and in better health than their less symmetrical counterparts. The differences can be just a few percent—perceivable though not necessarily noticeable.
By questioning the study participants, Thornhill also found that men with higher degrees of symmetry enjoy more sexual partners than men of lower symmetry.
"Women's sex-partner numbers are dependent on things other than attractiveness," Thornhill told LiveScience. "Because of the way that the sexual system in humans works, women are choosey. They are being sexually competed for. They have to be wooed and all that."
[...]
Face it
The structure of a person's face also gives insight to fertility.
Estrogen caps bone growth in a woman's lower face and chin, making them relatively small and short, as well as the brow, allowing for her eyes to appear prominent, Thornhill explained. Men's faces are shaped by testosterone, which helps develop a larger lower face and jaw and a prominent brow.
Men and women possessing these traits are seen as attractive, Thornhill said, because they advertise reproductive health.
Thornhill also points to the booming nip-‘n'-tuck business—which is very much about improving a person's symmetry—as evidence that people find the quality attractive.
Another recent study revealed that symmetrical dancers are seen as more attractive.
