Feminine [[appearance]] is a matter of preference. Some women like to exercise, yet others prefer only to diet. Men also are not all the same in their preferences about appearance. Many men and women suffer from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_dysmorphic_disorder body dysmorphic disorder] (BDD) by feeling insecure about their [[body]] image. However, Naomi Wolf argues in ''The Beauty Myth'' that there is particular external pressure on women, regarding appearance, from the media and advertising.

Notwithstanding the personality gulf between men and women, the sex urge is sufficient to insure their coming together for the reproduction of the species. This instinct operated effectively long before humans experienced much of what was later called love, devotion, and marital loyalty. Mating is an innate propensity, and marriage is its evolutionary social repercussion.[http://mercy.urantia.org/cgi-bin/webglimpse/mfs/usr/local/www/data/papers?link=http://mercy.urantia.org/papers/paper82.html&file=/usr/local/www/data/papers/paper82.html&line=33#mfs]
