As I watched people interact at a pageant after party hosted by the African Student Association on October 31st, 2104 at SUNY New Paltz, I found out some very interesting facts on how humans (male and female) interact with themselves when they see the opposite sex. With my ability of scanning through out the party, I found out that certain human trait like trimmed beard, mustache and side burns caught most of the female’s attention at the party. Trimmed beard, mustache and side burn might have being attracted to these females due to the fact that an individual with a trimmed beard, mustache and side burn might have signal good genes and good health to the attracted females. Finding these traits in males may results in female mating with them due the fact that females may have associate trimmed beard, mustache and side burn with good genes/healthy living as a way of getting their genes spread out across their generations. With research done by Dixon and Brooks (2013), similar situation that I observed at New Paltz happened in their research.

Realistically, someone’s outside appearance will not necessarily match their insides, and unfortunately, it is human nature to judge someone or something by its outside appearance. However, as relationships and bonds form between people, they’ll learn more about one another and rid themselves of preconceptions they may have initially had. This theme is prevalent in “The Rosie Project” by Graeme Simsion. Although it's natural to have preconceived notions of someone based on their physical appearance, an individual's insides may completely differ. As relationships develop between people, they gain a deeper understanding of one another and shed preconceptions of each other that they may have had initially.

The Masculine Man is not Asian Mainstream media constantly through television and films reinforce ideas about what it means to be a masculine man in society. In film masculine men are depicted as aggressive, strong, physically desirable and white, deviation from these norms classifies men as not masculine (Garst & Bodenhausen 1997). Asian men are generally depicted in media as shy, nerdy, feminine, evil and angry or money hungry (Han et al., 2014). According to Victoria Do (2006), since the early 20th century Asian American men have been stereotyped as asexual and effeminate. These are both counterparts to masculinity where asexuality is where an individual does not have sexual feelings and being effeminate is where a man has or show characteristics

When Japan entered the Heian Period there came to be a rapid and extensive development of a well-refined culture among the upper classes of society. While a steady Japanese identity had been formulated before this era that does not diminish the importance of the Heian Period — especially with the influences it placed upon present, for the time, societal mannerisms and those that came to exist in the future. Two of the most intriguing aspects of this particular society, in terms of personal preference, happen to be the progression of beauty standards that extended beyond simple appearance and the differing lifestyles that categorized the aristocratic men and women of the period. As such, this time in Japan’s history could be considered a sizable step forward, primarily in the tending to of a separate Japanese identity that took little from previously overbearing Chinese-based

In horror movies, for example, the victim is more often a woman than a man, simply because of the stereotypical idea that women are scared easily and scream when they are in a scary situation, and just as we expect, they go to a man for help, because the proximity of a male figure is comforting and safe. In movies, brains never go well with beauty. The hot, popular girl is often not very smart and usually mean, while the smart girl is not at all attractive to the opposite sex and nerdy. We all know the typical teenage movie in which the boring girl has to be transformed into a babe in order to become attractive and desirable for men. In movies, women are almost always changing themselves to please men.

The authors presented literatures which looked at the attitude of a person towards physical attractiveness using a rating format (as cited in Benson, Karabenick, & Lerner, 1976). Although past researches indicated a preference in attractiveness, the authors introduced two issues, including the inability to generalize the population belief through questionnaire, and people behavior may differs from their attitude. Consequently, similar to West and Brown’s experiment, a field experiments with systematic observation was conducted to test the impact of physical attractiveness, based on helping behavior of people. The study examined white adults at an airport using a public telephone from 10 a.m to 7 p.m throughout the length of 7 days. Although the previous research only inspected male participants in a short period, Benson et al (1976) measure the variables on male and female subject, in a longer time period with a greater sample size.
