monkey like big butt (strong glutes are the most prominent visual indicator of good health and strength as they are the most powerful and useful muscle group in the entire body)

monkey like big boobs (milk production, stimulation of the nipple to promote milk flow)


Give you a dollar to show any species of ape outside of humans that has large breast all the time.

It's cultural. Not every culture likes boobs, and some are obsessed with the naval. Greeks liked thighs as the sexiest part of the body.

What we find attractive has a very limited biological component.

Greeks also loved the glutes. They understood that the legs and glutes are the most valuable muscles in the human body, it always has a biological component, we are of course biological creatures subject to the same principles

Sure but it used to be that petite and pale women were attractive. No butts to be found.

Culture can easily override most biological impulses with enough conditioning. There are a few that are common, such as facial symmetry, but most are cultural.

I agree, since if universal rules are true then every culture would have the same preference which they don't.

I feel it depends on what values that culture is based in. If a culture is warrior-like they would value lots of muscle but not for others. Certain ones are statistically common though

Cultural influences can be pretty arbitrary but sometimes there's correlations.

For instance, in food scarce places being fat is attractive. In calorie heavy places being thinner is more attractive.

Idk. Just saying "warrior-like" isn't very descriptive. I think you need to be a lot more specific since in "warrior-like" cultures they would likely all be muscular from scarcity and labor.

I'm talking about real warrior culture man.

Feudal Japan, Greek states like Sparta, Danish/Norse Vikings, Germanic culture.

Strong, lean and healthy is attractive in those and pretty much universally.
