an artists viewpoint

intro

Ron Harris is a renowned fashion photographer and director for forty years; winner of 450 art directors awards; discovered top supermodels; creator of Aerobicise and the :20 minute workout; producer and director of thirteen one-hour artistic specials for Playboy television;  creator of a new genre on the internet, ronsangels.com; author of Naked Power (publish date: TBD); and Arabian horse breeder.

As a fashion photographer and thinker, I have been trying to understand why beauty exists. My insights into the beauty of mother nature, can give you a naked view of most societies and how they work. Look through my eyes and penetrate deeply into our society and the minds that created it.

This is not an easy road to travel, but I believe you will come out enlightened and more powerful. But you will have to endure the emotional pain of understanding, to get the benefits. If you can endure the self realizations, your feelings of powerlessness will be replaced by a greater, bigger more profound sense of self.

What is love? What is sex? Why are we here? What turns us on? What is success? Why do some people succeed and others fail. Where are we going? What makes us attractive? Is it about getting our genes to the next generation?

Through the appearance of our bodies, I will attempt show you where you fit biologically, and how you can shape your future children.   From fashion photography to chemistry and biology. As seen through the eyes of an artist, I have spent my life trying to understand mother nature, by observing her beauty.

Jumping off from what is known in scientific disciplines, I will attempt to explain how mother nature works. In simple terms I will show you how our bodies tell all and how you can measure your own body to determine your longevity and drive.  Using the shapes of nature I will attempt show you how to judge your relationships in a new light.

[men.are.from.mars.women.are.from.venus]


Was a best selling book, because it helps you understand what works and how you can get what you want from life. What I will attempt to do is show you the true mathematical and predictable way mother nature works, which is the biology of the book "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus". I will show you how you can see and understand everything by looking at the shapes of nature. From women to flowers from fine art, to contemporary fashion, photographers. supermodels. We will journey together in pursuit of the truth that we can measure and prove. If we understand how the organism works we are much more likely to achieve our ultimate goal, of getting getting more symmetrical looking children than we are, to the next generation and beyond. This is our destiny to keep evolving.

Helen Fisher Ph.D. Anthropology, in her book "The Anatomy of Love" says the most important act you can perform is that of making love, for it is only then you can get your genes to the next generation. And of course the scientific definition of life is the ability to reproduce. Most people in old folks homes, say the most important thing in their whole life, was having their children and grandchildren.

Their is of course another way to help evolution. That is to change our perceptions and beliefs. So that the next generation does not make the same mistakes we have made. Many intellectuals have opted to leave their teachings for the next generation rather than their genes.

[women.are.stronger.than.men]

In 1972 Rene Thom, (one of the Worlds leading mathematicians)
said in his book "Structural Stability and Morphogenesis,"
"The masculine sex has a more elliptic nature than the feminine sex: perhaps this can explain why males are more hairy than their mates and are biologically more fragile". pg. 99

As an amateur scientist and a professional artist at the top of my profession I was immediately struck by Mr. Thom’s profound statement. This idea became my passion and has brought me closer than I would have ever dreamt to an understanding of life. Shapes, particularly spherical and elliptical designs, are the best measure of the human form. With this ability, to measure the human body, it becomes very easy to understand the fundamental difference between men and women. I realized what Mr. Thom was saying about male and female organs could just as easily be said about the fundamental shapes of their bodies. Consequently it should be possible to measure the shapes of our cells, bones and muscles to ascertain the structural stability of our individual bodies. Giving us new insight into our longevity and behavior.

[a.sphere.is.the.strongest.shape.in.the.universe]

Take a long, straight, silky piece of hair. If you examine a cross section of the hair you will find it is near to being perfectly round. Take a curly piece of hair and you will find that the cross section is elliptical. The elliptical shape can curve whereas a round spherical shape cannot. The instability causes the hair to curl, (i.e. unstable).. As a generalization the most desired women in the world have long, strong, straight hair. Most of today’s supermodels have long, straight hair. A similar example would be a drinking straw. When the straw is straight the cross section is a near perfect circle. As you bend the straw the sections at or near the bend become more elliptical until it becomes so unstable that the straw collapses at the bend, the most elliptical and weakest point. Mathematically speaking an ellipse is nothing more than a failed sphere.

[women.are.stronger.than.men.biologically]

The female anatomy is more spherical than a male. This means the female biology has more structural strength than the male. Pound for pound they are stronger. Ask your dentist, who can withstand the most pain? The female body can withstand more G forces than males. In World War II, only men suffered from shell shock. Males are more susceptible to genetic diseases such as Hemophilia; color blindness even being left handed. In most encounters I’ve noticed that men are more emotional than women are. Women experience less physical and emotional pain than men do. Childbirth would probably kill a man.

Humans are female in their mother’s uterus for the first 90 days. After 90 days the testosterone causes the sex organs to move to the outside. It could be said that men are failed women. See the visual embryo. Nature try's to stabilize a mans body by adding, thicker bones, more muscle, thicker skin and more hair, all of which are protection for an unstable organism, men.

[body.types.and.longevity]
 

Their are only small people in old folk’s homes. This is not because people shrink as they get older. It is on account of smaller body types are the only ones that are living that long. Bigger bodies are more elliptical and therefore more unstable. The average NFL football player lives to be only 55 years old, most big bodies are short lived, see American Heart Association. Small petite men and women are the gymnasts, ballet dancers, and figure skaters. Their structural stability gives them superior strength,flexibility reflexes and longevity.

Small women need little sex. If she is feminine and pretty even less sex. Big masculine unstable bodies need lots of sex. Since they don't live very long, they must breed, whenever they can.  Or their body type will become extinct. Now you will understand yourself and why you need as much sex as you do. The more unstable your biology is, determines how sexual you are."What matters most to men".

See [chart] on body types.

[pain.is.the.breaking.of.the.shell]

"Pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding". Kahill Gibran The Profit . Socrates said nothing would happen without war and pestilence, (i.e. disease).

Lance Armstrong won the Tour de France, in July '99, Three years ago he was diagnosed with testicular cancer that had spread to his brain, lungs and abdomen. I have watched Lance race for many years in the Tour, and he was never a big winner. But this year after having faced death and won. He blew away every other great racer and made them all look puny.  The pain of fighting cancer had made him stronger than all the other best cyclists in the world. Of course he would not have beaten the cancer, except for the fact that he was a world class athlete to begin.

The world is running out of antibiotics, that can kill our mutated bacteria. The wide spread use of Antibiotics, that is a poison to bacteria, have caused, bacteria to mutate. All organisms get stronger when you try to kill them and fail.

Bill and Hillary Clinton, are the strongest they have ever been. The impeachment failed and they got stronger. See article on CNN

Ask any mother about childbirth, to understand how much pain is necessary for growth.

All around us are examples of how this works. On July 1, '99 CNN did a fifteen year retrospective on their show "Pinnacle" they said if you had bought stocks in the company's that these CEO's and multi millionaires founded, you would have made 814% on your money. They ran clips of each of these famous people, and the interesting fact was they all ascribed their success to the failures and pain that they had been dealt, such as cancer, loss of family, abandonment, abuse, etc. We only grow and learn from pain and failure. If we survive it makes us smarter and stronger.

All growth is promoted by pain. Today's metaphor is "if it doesn't kill you it probably makes you stronger. You better believe this if you are going to have a great life.

[the.chemistry.of.attraction]

Women with big noses almost always want guys with small noses. Women with big buttocks always want guys with small buttocks. women with breasts smaller than their hips almost always want breast implants. They want to balance their body because a balanced more symmetrical body is seen to be more attractive in almost all society's. (i.e. 34-24-34). The same reason goes for lipo-suction and diets.

Big rotund women tend to want little guys. But of course they don't always get what they want. Depending on how much sexual power they really have, they must compromise and take what they can get, just like guys with no money, can seldom get the women they want.

I was always amazed at O.J. and Nicole Simpson. After 17 years he was still jealous when his ex-wife slept with someone else. This is truly an obsession of the highest order. But lets look at it in terms of the biology.

O.J. is big and black, Nicole was small and blond. His kids are better off lighter and smaller, her kids would be better off bigger and darker. Biological they were prefect for each other. Just look at their kids, their beautiful.  In mathematical terms it is called "regression of the mean". Everything folds back on itself, otherwise we would become giants or midgets in a few generations.

When I read twenty years ago, that some genetic diseases are color blind related. I wondered how many genetic disease have a physical characteristic related to them? Cold Head Weak Heart is this kind of connection. It seems that the more bald a man is, the more likely he will have a heart attack. Could this be why bald men feel unattractive? Do women judge a man by his bald head?

[the.efficient.eat.the.inefficient]

Edward O. Wilson Ph.D. considered the father of sociobiology at Harvard writes in his book "The Yamamno". The killers in these South American nomadic tribes have twice as many wives then the non killers in the tribe.

We are now experiencing "the Hong Kong economic model of Capitalism: Men who are risk takers , have twice as many wives and three times as many children, Leaders, CEO's, Politicians, Athletes, Attorneys, Rock Stars, Movie Stars, Directors and Criminals. They usually have the most beautiful wives and children. They also have the highest levels of testosterone.

Those things that are wanted most are, beautiful women, beautiful children, fine-art, real estate, gold, money and power. All these objects are stable and create stability in your life and help to guarantee the success of your genes, to get your genes to the next generation and beyond.

[testosterone]

Their are three kinds of testosterone worth looking at. The amount you received in utero, this determines how masculine and unstable looking your body is.

Two, the amount of testosterone your body is now generating. The harder you workout out the more testosterone you have. If you are a man and involved in child rearing, your testosterone decreases. Single people always have more testosterone than married couples.

Third, female estrogen is converted to testosterone, and the older the female the more testosterone she has. Men loose their testosterone as they age. Older females are always more masculine than older men.

[society's.interests]

Twenty years ago I started thinking about a book, that would help explain why their is much animosity between the sexes. I thought that if I understood our society I might be able to promote love and understanding between the sexes.

From an evolutionary biologists point of view: Low status, whatever its cause invites risk taking in men. Poor prospects for employment, marriage and reproduction make risky tactics of lying, stealing and violence more attractive.  Most of the mass shootings that has been 1999, stems from these roots. Some of these cases were dealing with men or boys who had severely limited financial resources and some were about to loose their marriages and reproductive rights.

What I now see is that in the last twenty years the marriage rate in the U.S. had dropped by 20%. Our society is flourishing and women are dominating all dissemination of information. What man hasn't been told by his mother how to treat women? If you are married you know who the CEO is. As our society has embraced feminism, men are less likely to marry. I believe that the explosion of violent pornography on the internet, is a further manifestation of men's anger.

Risking it all is something men do. See Scientific American issue on [MEN], the adrenaline created by being so close to death is what turns men and women on. The risk takers always have unstable masculine body characteristics. Women with their more stable bodies, take many less risks. Women seldom buy high risk stocks. But most importantly masculine looking women act more like men and feminine looking men act more like women. See [chart].

I am hopeful that the information I am dissemination to lets you in on the truth. And knowing this information will allow men and women to come to terms with reality.  So that our society continues to grow, based on truth, and not romantic fantasies that disappoint us all and seem to lead to wonton acts of violence.

[sex.and.marriage]

In the August 99 issue of Ms magazine, their is an article about an older woman's technique for dealing with the sex she needs to stay alive. She and her husband have sex every Sunday.  Instead of him touching her and her pulling away from or him begging for sex. They have decided to have sex by appointment.  They find that their needs are better met in this way.

We all define ourselves in what we do not like in other people. Marriage is much the same. their is a big component of repulsion that exists between all living things. The living cells in the bladder and the kidney must be repulsed by each other, if they were not they might merge into one. To the detriment of the organism they both support.

All life forms must retain their organization, or they will fail. We all divide into sub groups. Society is made up of sub-cultures that only communicate with each other. From hate groups to religious groups. From drug users to abstainers.  Nature must diversify to stay young, healthy and strong.

[what.is.an.orgasm?]

An orgasm is a brief shinning moment when have achieved your ultimate goal of getting you genes to the next generation. For this very brief moment in time, your whole being feels safe. You can let down your guard for a few seconds, knowing their is the possibility that you have succeeded. Hopefully it will result in a pregnancy and you will survive to the next generation. An orgasm is an escape from death.

What got you to this orgasm was your desire to save yourself from death. The baby boomers were born in war time, the birth rate always skyrockets when their is danger at hand and your primary directive of getting your genes to the next generation could be thwarted. When their is trouble in the Mideast the birth rate in Israel increases. Even the ancient Greeks said their warriors experienced erections during the stress and pain of war.  All women are turned on by the pain of menstruation. Socrates said without war and pestilence, nothing would happen.

When you prune a rose bush, the plant sees this as mortal attack and defends itself by getting its flower [i.e. sex organ],to bloom. Only then does it feel safe, when it can spatial transport its seed. (just like men).

[seeing.and.being.seen]

Fashion has three reasons and is important in our society. 1. Keeps you warm. 2. Determines what tribe you belong too. 3. Covers the unstable and unattractive, masculine body parts that you wish to hide.

The purpose of all cosmetics, fashion, exercise, plastic surgery is to make you look younger and more beautiful. As a fashion photographer for most of my life. I have received most of my awards because I discovered and photographed the beauty of mother nature.

DKNY Donna Karen says; "she designs her clothes for two different body types that are her customers, my clients want to cover their bellies or hips (i.e. buttocks)" I guess this is why she is so successful. This is a problem that most women in the world have.

Recently I was watching Chris Rock special on HBO, in which he accused women of lying, since every thing they wear is to change their true appearance so that you will breed with them. From fashion to Lipstick, perfume, clothes, hair color, breast implants, lip enlargement, nose reduction, hair styles, etc.

As a fashion photographer for most of my life. If a woman has: great hair she shakes it, great hands she gestures with it, great breasts she shapes it, great lips she wets it, a big buttocks she covers it. All women know what features men want. This is purpose of all women's fashion magazine. These magazines show women how be more attractive to get man and how to keep him happy sexually for the long term, all women understand that a long term commitment is necessary for the rearing of their children.

Seeing and being seen is what we all do. When no one is looking at you as potential breeding partner. The organism knows it is dying and starts to give you the pain that will kill you.  I will show you how to get back to being in the game.

Having spent most of my life around beautiful supermodels and women editors from all the major women's fashion magazines. I was even Gloria Steinam's friend in 1961, she was a writer and editor at "HELP" magazine and later at Glamour magazine, I shot thousands of photographs for her. I have listened to women and what they are really saying.  Just read any fashion magazine and you will know.

Who's the boss? We all the know the answer. First our mothers and then our wives. Mothers most cope with their unstable little boys and teach them though pain, what is required of them, so that they will know the rules necessary to get a job and a breeding partner.

Horses that are born in the wild, are an easy prey, until  they can get up off the ground and run. Mares will not give their tit to the foal until he can run, they instinctively teach him through withdrawing from him what he wants most, her breast milk. Females teach through rejection. As seen on the discovery channel.

All women lead their men through alternately giving and removing sex until their demands are met. The more beautiful she is the more sexual power she will have over you. And the more money you will need to keep up with her demands.

Smart women every where have figured this out. I have never met a young woman that did not want a young good looking millionaire. Starting with Robert Redford and Brad Pitt, Leonardo De Caprio, etc. The more women become masculine the more they are attracted to feminine men.  Not gay men because they want children.  Ten years ago on CNN their were two mid twenty women giving free advice on a NYC sidewalk. their advice to women, "Never date a guy prettier than you are". Pretty men have sexual power over not as pretty women, and the women must pay.

We all want to have children from beautiful people. From Heraldo Rivera to Heather Graham. Television anchors, stars, supermodels, divas. This is the candy, this is the goal of all life forms. You are watching evolution at work. See story on The Science of Beauty. "Are good looks nature's ultimate survival strategy?" in Discovery Magazine Feb. 2000. See story on Beauty "More than skin deep" in National Geographic Jan. 2000.

I have just finished reading a very enlightening book by Sarah Blaffer Hrdy, Anthologist. Mother Nature in which she says "mothers are flexible, manipulative opportunists.

 

[what.women.think]

Cosmopolitan magazine is translated every month in to forty-seven different languages. Helen Gurley Browns magazine teaches women the world over. How to be and how to control men. Helen should be given the  credit she deserves for having taken feminism and added the financial dimension that it was missing.  Gloria Steinem invented it, Helen changed and disseminated it.

[what.women.want]

Women want men they can control, just like you want a women that wants you. Nothing is more futile than wanting a woman that you can't have. For women, having a man they can't control, guarantees they will be left for someone younger. If you do not have enough financial power to keep your women, she will leave you for greener pastures.

A paper in the Feb 7, '99 issue of The Proceedings of the Royal Biological Sciences examines the market of mate choice, a favorite of evolutionary biologists. The article sampled personal ads to determine what men and women want from each other. Men want fecundity (youth), beauty and social skills, in that order. Women who have those attributes, demand young rich good looking men. The men demand those attributes, based upon their power and money.  With the exception of those men 45-49 who seem to demand three times what you would expect based upon their money and age, (early pair bond termination). It seems men who are transitioning from middle age to old age, do so fighting like hell, to get their genes to the next generation, since this is probably their last chance.  Of course this is what married women would like not to happen. But inevitably if a man has the financial resources to get young women, he will. I have noticed these men quickly marry these young women and have a child.

[aerobicise®.and.health]

Aerobicise® saved my life in 1977. I had just stopped smoking and gained fifty pounds. I could not walkup the Spanish steps in Rome, without stopping and resting. Now at sixty six years old I am in the best physical shape of my life . I run 25 mi. per week on a treadmill, while listening to Techo music. Every other day I lift weights alternating between arms, shoulders, back and legs. I stretch thirty to sixty minutes a day.

Dr. Cooper (the father of aerobics) says "aerobic conditioning increases your enjoyment of sex". I can tell you the more aerobically fit you are the greater the intensity of your orgasms and the longer you can prolong sex. The difference between the average person and an athlete is at least, nine levels, when it comes to sex.  The latest research shows that smoker's are much more likely to be impotent than non smokers. Your blood can only carry so much dissolved gases, which limit your ability to carry oxygen. After ninety days of aerobic conditioning, your body has two pints more blood and eighteen miles more veins. Stop smoking now before it all starts down hill.

Start aerobic exercise now, do not be afraid. Your tough, your strong, you do not need to stop. To embrace life fully you will need to do aerobic exercise daily and never be afraid.

[homosexuality]

As a New York fashion photographer and Arabian horse breeder, I have come into contact with many gay people. One of my good friends Jerry Brennan and I used to have intellectual discussions when he did the hair on one of my many shows and Aerobicise. Almost all the gay people I know say they were born gay. Gay people usually feel they were born in the wrong body.

My theory predicts that approximately ten percent of the general population will be born gay. See [chart]. on body types.

Since homosexuals seldom actually breed and have children. All homosexuality springs from heterosexual relationships.  I believe that as we transition in our mothers from female to male. (this is current scientific theory), those embryos that do fully morph into males, are born homosexual. This then is a natural occurrence in nature. And lesbians and gay men are correct, they were born gay. If they were born gay, then homosexual behavior cannot be learned.

OCT 28, 1999. "Females are 'repressed' males and males are 'repressed' females," said researcher Paul Overbeek, a professor of cell biology at Baylor. From my point of view as an artist viewing from the outside: "men are failed women", which makes it easier to understand and apply to human relationships.

It is my belief that as women put off their childbearing years till they are older and have established a career for themselves. When you do that it is possible that their eggs are more masculine and unstable. This could create women that are more masculine and more men than women are born. See article on Lesbians have more men children. Also men's sperm are becoming less aggressive as they age, this also effects the children. I can remember when I was a young man and starting to become a fashion photographer, that the women were much more feminine looking, even the old movies of women working in defense plants during WWW II, are extremely feminine when compared to today women sports hero's.

Certainly the age at which girls reach menarche, has lowered dramatically. In the last 50 years it has dropped from 14-15 then to 11-12 now.  This phenomenon has not gone unnoticed by the scientific community. The current theory is that body weight it the culprit. My theory says greater body weight means masculization of her body. If this is true women's mortality rate will decline also. You can see this now in risky behavior, such as smoking. More women are dying from alcohol and smoking in the last decade, then ever before. Gloria Steinam's prophecy, "women should become the men they cannot find", seems to be coming true. On Oct 10, 99, the first male-female boxing match took place and the woman won.

Nature always finds a balance, and the pendulum will swing back the other way. Masculine women are most always attracted to feminine men. So the next generation swings back the other way. In mathematical terms this is called "the regression of the mean". Otherwise we might become midgets or giants in several generations, if this were not so.

Remember that all women get more masculine as they age. The little old ladies are dragging their feminine old men around the world with them, the men want to stay home and take care of the flowers.

[how.men.stay.young]

It is a fact that when men stop getting a sexual buzz, they die. Nature always always gets rid of what it does not need. Men who do not get aroused when sleeping have heart attacks. An orgasm is the body's way of knowing it is alive, it is a wakeup call to all the organisms that reside in your body. You must stop being afraid of physical activity and exercise. Being afraid will kill you. Face the facts and live again. their is no other rational choice. Face death and you will live.

Men need more sex then most women. Masculine women are more like men and need more sex. As women get older they need more sex because they are becoming more masculine and unstable. This is their biological clock.  After they have achieved their personal goals of ???. Children, their need for sex diminishes rapidly. Men get more feminine as they get older and want to stay home with the flowers. Unless you workout every day to keep your testosterone levels high. It has recently been reported in Scientific American issue on [MEN], that men who are involved in child rearing, have lower testosterone levels.

This is a work in progress. My aim is to expand on the information you’ve just read and continue to seek the truth inherent in all the beauty of mother nature...
