In his textbook titled 'Cultural frameworks of social behaviour'(2009) Paweł Boski severely criticised some of the formulations which I used in my works on the anatomical determinants of attractiveness of the human figure (Szmajke, 2004; 2005). I was accused of 'fable-writing', lack of elementary criticism' and 'impertinence'. In the same book, after analysing the results of one of the criticised experiments (Szmajke, 2004), he stated that they confirmed his own thesis on the femininity of Polish culture, as the one where ‘modelling the shape of the man’s body follows a feminine pattern (in America it would be labelled as ‘effemination’’ (p. 420). In this polemic I prove that Boski's objections are very poorly justified as they originate from his striking difficulty of distinguishing between an 'introduction' and 'conclusions' or 'deductions'. I also demonstrate that nothing but his casualness or reading comprehension problems might have led him to formulate the thesis that the finding of one of my experiments shows that Polish women (as opposed to American ones) are characterized by a 'feminine' and 'effeminate' pattern of the attractiveness of the masculine figure.

The presented work is dedicated to the evolutionarily developed reproductive strategies in humans. The paper is dedicated to declared preferences when choosing a long-term mate. It deals with the topic of physical attractiveness in the context of the selection of a long-term partner. In this regard it focuses on the degree of relevance and importance attributed by informants to physical attractiveness when choosing a long-term partner. The main theoretical basis of the work is evolutionary anthropology and evolutionary psychology. The most important finding is that the declared preferences of respondents are consistent with theoretical claims of evolutionary psychology. Men consider physical attractiveness as more important than women when choosing a long-term partner. The research was carried out in the urban environment in Bratislava and city located in the central part of Slovakia. The research sample consisted of students of high schools and universities.

Young participants (N=144) varying in material status were asked in a field experiment to rate physical attractiveness of an opposite sex person who varied in apparent material wealth (high vs. low) and interest in dating the perceiver (interest vs. no information). The result showed that men (but not women) increased their ratings of attractiveness of the target person interested in dating them. Women (but not men) perceived the wealthy target as more physically attractive. This, however, was found only in unwealthy women who were convinced that the man was interested in dating them. The results were discussed in terms of evolutionary-based sex differences in reproductive strategies.

A study was conducted to determine gender differences in the relation between self-esteem and body image. We hypothesized stronger connections between self-conceptions of physical attractiveness and self-esteem for women and consequently important gender differences in the structure of the self. For the purpose of this study 402 students completed three measures of self-concept and self-esteem. Exploratory factor analyses revealed important gender differences: in the women's sample, two physical appearance scales loaded on the first factor alongside three measures of general self, whereas in men, these two scales formed a separate factor together with two scales measuring physical ability or instrumental function of the body. The results are in accordance with the evolutionary theory and societal value placed on women's attractiveness.
