  1. This has long been a point of confusion and outrage for some women, especially if they look at '90s female comic book heroines. Though Drinker did a great job explaining why being sexy sells, I'd like to add my own two cents. Know why sexually appealing people are able to sell things (including movie tickets)? Because sex sells. Know why sex sells? Because, without sex, there would be no human race. it's that simple: Sex = survival. And, as organisms, our main goal in life is to survive. Sure, this is often manipulated to sell things. And sex can easily become the only thing we see, when we look at a person. Very rarely are we seen as a human soul, or some such thing. It's much easier, and therefore natural, to see people in the simplest terms, which is to say sexually. That's why people get put in the "friend zone," or why a particular kind of look (such as bad boy, brainiac, nerd, etc.) is an instant turn off, or turn on. This is natural. But it also depends on how far you take it, if this sexual stereotyping becomes a crime, such as murder, rape, kidnapping.
