petrushka.googol Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Can we conceptualize an ideal man ? What would be his attributes ? Good physique / Good IQ / Flair for art and music etc. ? And where would that leave autistic individuals (especially those with Asperger's syndrome) ? Would we then have another Newton or Einstein ? Please opine.
DrP Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 I tend to conceptualize the ideal woman more than men. ;-) I would imagine though that you would not be able to have an ideal man as an all rounder... The ideal shot putter and the ideal marathon runner for example have very different traits.
swansont Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Ideal according to what metric(s)? On a broader level, optimization of multiple variables is often impossible (they will "compete" with each other, e.g. you can't be short and tall at the same time) so the answer is most likely "no" unless "ideal" is very narrowly defined, which brings me back to the objection above.
John Cuthber Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Can we conceptualize an ideal man ? Yes, but I doubt any two of us would come up with the same concept. So it's difficult to see what this would achieve. What were you hoping to find out?
cladking Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Each individual organism is charged with striving for perfection. What's perfect for one individual is wrong for another. This ideal changes with time so the goal is always a moving target.
petrushka.googol Posted October 1, 2015 Author Posted October 1, 2015 Yes, but I doubt any two of us would come up with the same concept. So it's difficult to see what this would achieve. What were you hoping to find out? May be trying to find out what would rate highly on the agreeability quotient (particularly among those with XX chromosomes !)
DrP Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Girls like their men tall and rich... I have a good personality, I am attractive and fit, very talented and intelligent, extremely modest and I have a BIG secret that girls seem to like ;-) ... however, girls don't go for me straight away because I am geeky, short, scruffy and no where near rich. lol. Tall and rich is the key I have been told. Edited October 1, 2015 by DrP
