Yet the posers had worked to achieve capable bodies worth displaying while the cheesy guy just pushed some low-hanging emotional buttons like a salesman. And none of them procreated.I was at the nude beach recently with my friend (I'm a gay male she's a hetero woman). We were of course checking out lots of guys. There were so many guys with gym bodies walking around, just strutting. Then there was this one guy, not super physically fit, but was giving a physical activity demonstration to a woman. He was teaching her how to stretch and do back flips. I did not find this man physically attractive but my friend was gaga. After about an hour, there was a group of women around this man. He was teaching them how to use found-objects at the beach to do workouts, like turning over logs length-wise over and over down the length of the beach. The women around him were attractive! He had gathered an audience.
I just turned to my friend and asked her why the hell this guy was getting so many chicks, and she said, "He's capable and he's teaching them something, he's communicating well, and he's engaging with them. it makes him so sexy."
So all these posers walking around showing off their gym bodies were useless compared to this average-yet-strong guy who was giving demonstrations and teaching skills. I thought the whole scene was interesting!
Who needs to be shown that you can flip a log? It's about the cheese, not the log. What is the goal of flipping the log? To achieve capable bodies worth displaying.
This anecdote illustrates the importance of not looking to women for behavioral guidance.
