The Topoi

Using the Topoi takes you down an interesting journey into topics you never thought you'd come across. In the beginning I felt I was going to simply be discussing the gender roles and how they were portrayed into the media, but as I began utilizing it, I began to stumble onto a more scientific topic that was already well into discussion. While I was writing my way in, I was wondering why these gender portrayals were beginning to be favored by the media. Was this what women considered attractive? It was here that I began to research what it was exactly that men and women considered to be attractive in each other. This was what I would call my "thesito", which is that attraction is relative to your culture or your location in which you live in. Many would argue that women are attracted to good looks or money, but could it be possible that we are missing the big picture? Could it be that the money (intelligence, being successful) the looks (feeling confident resulting in you carrying yourself better) all of these traits are the result of something bigger? These will be various topics that I will attempt to put my two cents in with the help of my sources. In the end, perhaps I could present a new perspective on how we view out levels of attraction towards people in various parts of the world.
