I like to think that attraction in the 21st century is like a revolution from attraction in the past centuries. Way back when, I find that men saw women as a trophy; women cleaned, took care of the kids, looked nice, and obeyed their husbands. From this point I can see how Buss created the idea that men value attractiveness in women and that's all they value. Back then women were the homemakers therefore they needed a man who could provide for them so with that said Buss' ideas are correct for during that time period.
Now in the 21st century we can see that men value a woman that can provide for herself where she has a stable job and is educated. I noticed this when we did an in-class discussion on the topic and found that the males not only valued a women who was attractive but they valued a woman who has a stable job. I also find that in society today women appreciate a husband who is loyal and respects her. In the past I think women believe that they didn't deserve respect they just did whatever their husbands demanded them to do.
Attraction has changed over time, from clothing styles to how people treat their lovers; attraction has revolutionized.
