    I'll forgive a not so great face for a fit body.
    I'll forgive a beer belly for a beautiful face.
    I'll overlook anything for a man who can sing.

    I guess for me as face only matters if they are paper bag worthy or if they are a knockout. Sometimes there might be something about their facial expressions I find very attractive, like a cute smile or the way their eyes light up when we're talking but generally speaking unless they are exceptionally unattractive or hot, the face does not matter much.

    However, there are a lot of different female body types that I find hot, from the thin or athletic to mure curvy or even overweight depending on how they carry it.

    The thing is I can find something attractive about proably 80% of women.

    For me it's the eyes on the face, so I'm pretty much at 75% face and 25% body...bodies can change, but faces can't! LMAO!


    ^^^^This. Definitely

    attractiveness to me:

    1. symmetry/balance --eyes can't be too sunken in, offset, or too bulgy looking. (slightly crooked nose is okay)
    2. hygiene--clean/white teeth that are straight. smells good. looks well kept.
    3. style --the way someone dresses and their overall composure speaks volumes
    4. body-- not AS important but still important...maybe 30-35%
    5. intellect --i love a smart man who also admires what I bring intellectually to the relationship
    6. sense of humor/down to earth --make you feel comfortable, happy and just giddy to be around him


    oh, forgot

    FACE: 60% BODY: 40%
    overall physical attractiveness is only about 30-35% total, the other 60-65% is personality/other traits

    I would say 70% body, 30% face.

    I can fall in love with a guy's face later on, but if we're talking strictly primal attraction, it's the body for me.

    I disagree to a point with that.

    There are plenty of people that have lost a lot of weight and their faces look 10x better thin. Sure, if you are in shape and the face is still an issue then there's not a lot you can do about that.

    If his face is aweful and his body is adonis, I'm not interested. If his face is okay and his body is adonis, I would potentially be interested.
    Now, if his face is adonis and his body is aweful, I'm more likely to be interested (body is no biggie), if his face is adonis and his body is okay- I am even more likely to be interested.
    However, if his face is adonis and his body is adonis, I am probably not interested (unless by some miracle he is willing to prove to me that he isn't a jack azz, lmao)..

    If it's physical attactiveness only, I'd say 75% face, and 25% body.

    My husband was a good 20-30 lbs heaver when we were dating than when we got married (we got married right after he finished basic training, and he slimmed down a lot during that process!) I definitrely loved how he looked after basic- but what attracted me to him physically was his face- nice eyes, sexy smile, etc...

    Proof that you're damned if you are and damned if you aren't, men.

    when I was younger I was scared of getting lines; wrinkles, sagy neck; bags-under-eyes. face was the first and formost importance when it came to attractiveness. but I've made it to 45yrs and people think I'm 30yrs, so face is no longer the important one for me. body.... well; since I saw my-self on t.v in that t.v series in 2009 weighing in at a super t.v star 53kgs in those skinny jeans and high heel shoes the wardrope people put me in, that was it! that's the image I sell. when I go to auditions, I insist on being 53kgs. when and if I get a modelling job---you guess it. 53kgs a must. :bigsmile:

    bloodly impossible weight to maintain. kilo&half over;.... the battle continues.:mad:

    Attractiveness is a subjective opinion.

    Hmm. Some women I find physically attractive because they have a hot body and an OK face. Some are the reverse of that. I guess eyes are what locks me in the most physically. With the butt being a close second place ;)

    Actually, personality makes or breaks it though. I've seen girls who look incredibly hot, then the second I talk with them I can't stand to look at them. And I've seen girls who look just average, and once getting to know them, they are insanely hot.

    I know this one girl who is incredibly beautiful both physically and personality wise. Awesome combo for sure!!!

    A guy can be bird dawg ugly and still be attractive if he is warm, considerate and can hold up his end of a real conversation. Being easy on the eyes is just gravy. And my dear Darlin' is indeed GRAVY!! :love:

    I would have to say 70% face & 30% body. The eyes & smile on a guy are the first thing I notice. Then I'll check out the body. If it's great :) if it's not the greatest...I can deal.

    This is difficult, because there are deal-breakers either way. If he is shorter than I, then I can't really get into it. So, body. BUT, there are some facial features that I just don't enjoy. I won't list them, because someone may have them and be offended. So, face. I guess I'd say 50/50, keeping to appearance only. Because if I factor in Reading Comprehension, it totally skews the results...
