I'm just speaking my minds here, not based on any fact ;)I would say that it depends on culture. Different cultures have different laws of attraction. If I may use myself as an example: I am a white South African, thus means that I fall under Western "culture", if I can say it that way. When I was teaching, one little African girl one day said to me with utmost respect: "Whooo mam, you have a bum like an African. It's so beautiful!" She meant to give me a compliment because in her culture, women with big hips are beautiful and the men prefer women with big bums. But to me, it was not a compliment. I didn't see myself as someone with a big bum . To me it felt the same as someone telling me I'm fat. I thanked her for her "compliment" nevertheless. In western "culture", men prefer ladies who have the exact opposite of a big bum as they are attracted to what meets the demand of their eye. Thus I would agree with @waitingforgodot when he says that attraction lies where the person is most comfortable within his social circles. The "nerd" will have a hard time finding a supermodel girlfriend though. Men that are also less attractive or men who have a lower self-esteem will settle for anything with a skirt basically and that is perhaps where the problem comes in which you are talking about when you say "hurts our chance at evolution in the future".

Both are still an example of physical attractiveness, perhaps im saying as time goes on, mental attractiveness will be more mainstream.
It's still physical yes. I'd like to believe that love will conquer all :P but yes, who knows what the future might have in store. I guess we'll never know
