In most species, the male is the prettiest so he can attract a female. Why is it the opposite in humans?

In most species the female is also useful.

what about niggers? the whole species is hideous, unless they were lucky to have White lineage.

>tfw the human male just about has it the hardest on the entire animal kingdom.
MATING:
>has to be physically attractive
>has to perform elaborate mating rituals
>has to provide for his mate
>has to protect his mate
>has to prevent his mate from have sex with other males
>always at risk of being ruined by mate
>it never stops

We have no fucking clue. But twinky fembois can be pretty as well, tho they ain't the norm.
Adrian Cooper
Pretty sure spider bros have it harder.

A bit overcomplicated, if you dominate her emotionally and fuck her hard she will be faithful. Women start to cheat when you are a limp-a-dicker wimp. There's pretty much no excuse, go read some female fantasy aka romance novels it's full with unironical porn shit of taking large penises in every hole and getting ravaged while the dude was teasing her all day long. In a relationship all of your interaction is foreplay.
Leo Hall
It's the same shit, user.
Think about it:
>women still are the choosers in nature
>males would fuck as many females as possible if they were free to do so
>have to make a huge effort to be considered as a mate

>Tremoctopus violaceus exhibits the most extreme degree of sexual size-dimorphism known in any non-microscopic animal.[3][4] Females may reach 2 m (6.6 ft) in length, whereas the males are 2.4 cm. The weight ratio is at least 10,000:1, and can probably reach as much as 40,000:1. The males have a large arm in a spherical pouch modified for mating, known as a hectocotylus. During mating, this arm is detached, and kept by the female in her mantle cavity until used for fertilisation. The male almost certainly dies shortly after mating.

Getting murdered and eaten right after getting laid somehow actually seems better than investing X number of years into a relationship only to have her tell you she never loved you, divorce you, take half your shit, and move cross country so you almost never get to see your kids again.

You wont havw to deal with any of that so long as you stay away from w**Te women.

When females are larger they usually just outright kill the male after sex.
Truly the most empathetic gender.

Human females are pretty to attract a mate. They're also competing with other females. It's one piece of evidence that (not surprisingly) humans are a monogamous species.
Samuel Hughes
Actually, in species where the male is larger and female smaller the species is less monogamous. It's called sexual dimorphism.
Oliver Fisher
That's not what sexual dimorphism implies, it can arise for any of a huge number of reasons.
Gabriel Bailey
No monogamous species is 100% faithful. There is always competition.

Men would hate monogamy because then you wouldn't have instathots or 4'11 smol qt.14's.
Justin Cooper
Men are generally attractive to women, for starters.
Also, in most species where the males are "prettier" (again, humans as a third party see it this way because theyre applying our standard of beauty to those variations, where the species in question do not) the males can afford to be flashy and stand out, where the females have to be well hidden from predators as they are the bearers of offspring. Ducks for example work on this principle.
There is no reason to think any other species would find human females to be the "pretty" gender.
But even if that were the case, human females are able to be flashier because humans lived and thrived in social groups. No any one human would be allowed to be picked off, the tribe would work together to chase off threats.

Sure, but polyamorous species are more likely to have distinguishing characteristics and females tend to be smaller than males.
