If I see an attractive face of a woman on a YouTube profile thumbnail picture why do I pay attention to that immediately when compared to a profile picture thumbnail of a guy?

Why do I get the strong feeling of sexual attraction and love type feeling when I see an attractive woman’s face ?

Because you’re a vehicle for selfish genes whose survival far beyond your demise you instinctively see reflected in the face.

What’s your best guess? Take a stab in the dark.

Someone kidnaps you and asks you the question in the title about why it happens with the image of a woman and not a man. Then the kidnapper, waving a gun around, asks you why you feel attraction when you see an attractive woman’s image.

Let’s just repeat that with a zoom in:

Why do you think you feel attracted when you see an attactive woman’s image?

I think you’ve got this.

The “attractive woman’s face”, whether it be the face of an attractive woman or the attractive face of a woman, obviously is not objectively attractive…

It’s his wording: I think he can find his answer, whether he’s an aesthetic realist or subjectivist.

What was that thing again about the letter and the spirit of the law?..

I think you’re responding in bad faith. Anyway, I’ll bite. For an aesthetic realist, whom or what is an attractive woman('s face, or image) attractive to?…

Think away. I think he can figure out the answers to the title question and the OP question. To me you raised another topic in response to my post. And now you’re going ad hom.

I want an answer better than what evolutionists say which is very lame and unsatisfying emotionally as an answer what doesn’t make sense is that these women do not care that I feel this way and more importantly my feelings do not care that these women who are attractive ignore me I still feel sexually attracted to women that I find attractive which is counterintuitive to what my reality is.

I can’t think of anything more intuitively obvious than you being attracted to people you label attractive. (find attractive). Their caring or not caring about your feelings is after you having already reacted and found them attractive. The caring would come after the causal chain. And now you are bringing up that they ignore you, which is something separate.

Unless your question is something like ‘why do I keep being attracted to them when they have no interest in me?’ or ‘Why is my being attracted or not, not affected by their attitudes?’ Or ‘Why would my stupid body/mind be drawn by things I cannot have?’ But those are different questions.

What that’s not a different question I am asking that why do my emotions still feel that way despite women ignoring those feelings ?

Sure it makes sense. That you feel that way about them suggests they’re a step up for your genes, and that they ignore you suggests you’re a step down for theirs. (Note: only suggests, because ignoring you may be a tactic, conscious and/or unconscious, to get you to feel (more) that way.)

Why don’t you feel horrible pain when it happens? God must’ve thought it was a good idea, I suppose.

But if you start feeling horrible pain when it happens, you probably need to decrease the dosage and go touch grass. A good idea to do that in the first place.

  1. because feelings don’t go away from ignoring them, and
    1b) women on YouTube can’t ignore you because they don’t even know you
  2. you’re seeking validation from the wrong places

Because the different parts of yourself are not integrated with each other. Sexual feelings are running on their own and the other parts of your soul/mind/brain/self are in their own area. We are sort of trained to keep these things separate. You can have such splits between emotions and thinking. It’s really discouraged to become a unity and truly identify with all your parts. So, even if you are utterly disgusted by the personality of a woman, you can still feel attraction.

Many women are beautiful, pretty, attractive, and seductive until you find what is under the psychological mental hood.

Always be cautious.
