Thread: Do girls tend to be attracted to guys who look "innocent"?

Well if we are going to talk about dominance, lets be specific with some definitions:

Dominance
1.
rule; control; authority; ascendancy.
2.
the condition of being dominant.
3.
Psychology. the disposition of an individual to assert control in dealing with others.

Dominance is not really what you guys seem to be talking about. You guys seem to be talking about leadership. Leadership is the ability to lead a group in effectively and efficiently in a way that will be good for said group. This includes things such as being accountable for others' health and happiness, being able to solve problems peacefully, etc. Dominance is simply being above others or control of them.

Edit: I don't really think male-female attraction is really about such basic survival functions. Yes, all feelings we have stem from primal roots, but that does not mean that they still are. As Ann Hathaway mentions in Interstellar (although the context of this is quite unrelated), it is odd how you can have love for someone long after they are dead or even if they have given you plenty of reason not to love them, like leaving you. The answer is very simple. Not everything in our minds is basic survival instinct. We have evolved beyond that point, and now we have individual thoughts and personalities not directly controlled by instinct. Whether you are attracted to someone or not could vary based on thousands, probably even millions or billions of factors, not just the basic "will they increase my chance of survival". If it were that simple, homosexuality would be impossible. It is entirely impractical to love someone of the same sex (I don't mean in a family/friend way) as you cannot reproduce with them, and yet people still do. That is because their/our preferences are not as basic as one would think.
