Judging each other based on meaningless traits is what seperates us from the animals. Wrong. This also happens in the animal kingdom. Females find mates by judging the males on trivial things too. According to an episode of Highlander: The Series, the only thing that separates humans from animals is the law ...

It's technically not wasting resources when it's to attract a mate, unless you know a better way to outrun death.

It would suck. We will always - ALWAYS - find something to judge people on. If not looks - then the tone of your voice, if not that, its if your body feels a certain way. Judging each other based on meaningless traits is what seperates us from the animals. Watched this a couple of months ago. It was ok.

Your ideas intrigue me. Examples? This is just one example; the brighter red a house finch is, the more attractive it is to females and thusly will be more likely to survive. It is seen as the more "sexy" the male is, the more likely he is genetically superior and will be chosen by the female to mate. This parallels what happens in the animal kingdom. The house finch survives purely based on it's attractiveness. Actually female finch select the males with the brightest plumage because it indicates what kind of forager he is. The brighter, more robust coloring is a result of what kind of seeds the bird eats. The more nutrient rich the seeds, the more vibrant the coloring in the bird's plumage.
