That's because women aren't really attracted first to looks. Its personality that matters. That's why Aspie guys have problems getting women. Its not about looks. Women are turned off by guys that are awkward, hard to talk to, don't look at them when they speak or just aren't fun to be around. You can be the sexiest man in the world and that isn't necessarily enough to keep a woman if you aren't fun and easy to talk to. Work on personality, looks don't matter much and they fade as one gets older anyways.

Depends on the type of woman and what stage of her life she's in. Lots of women look for an attractive man. A mature woman who is looking to settle down may look for a man with a good job/good personality ect. Of course there are exceptions to every rule but I don't buy the 'girls only like personalities' crap. I think there are a lot of factors and there are definately some very shallow ladies out there.

Its really interesting to see how what is considered good looking depends on the generation just like someone posted earlier. I've noticed the current young generation of girls seem to like the skinny men and are turned off by more masculine looking men. To me the skinny men have bodies shaped like girls, very feminine looking hips and butts and they don't seem very strong. So its amazing the sissy men are what women go for these days since my generation was the exact opposite. Its kinda like the women who are attracted to gay men, we called them fag hags so I wonder if the young girls of today are kinda the same wanting the metrosexual man.

...there are no general rules for attraction. Some people have quirks and fetishes, others just go against the grain. Have known women whose tastes ran towards shorter, stout men who more resembled hobbits than humans in my mind, to those whose list of demands on a physique rival Santa's list of names. There are societally common traits, often tied to breeding and power - height, strength, socially advantageous features (blue eyes in some cultures, so example)... but it doesn't ensure anything. On an objective basis, using some of the criteria listed before, perhaps I should be considered attractive - blond, blue eyed, very broad shouldered, rather tall (6'4")... but I'm not overly muscled, I'm not thin, and at present I'm not obese. While some see attractive qualities, in general I am the plain-jane, one whose appearance is relatively socially inert. My movements aren't classical, so they can cause some confused reactions in others. Ultimately... I believe women are looking for comfort, for security, and for 'fit' when they are seeking a partner.

Applaud.

I think attraction is more diverse than just this or that.

lol I'm not tall at all (165 cm, or 5"5), and I don't mind shorter guys. actually, vast majority of guys I had some "flings" with or that I had crushes on were on the shorter side.

it's just that an unattractive guy seems more attractive if he's tall, if that makes any sense... to use an analogy- imagine an average-looking woman, now would you say that she would look more attractive with big boobs than with small boobs?

the same thing applies for height in men (in my humble opinion)

Many women like to feel safe and protected and it is easier to feel protected if you can rest your head on a man's chest instead of your chin on his head lol

But actually I have dated a boy where I had to bend down a bit to rest my chin on his shoulder. (he was a late bloomer and was still like 5'2 or something at 16. He's about 6 now I think)

I prefer average breast for women, I don't mind firm and small, I find extra-large gross. I think most guys would agree with me in that too.

I have the same height of yours btw.

yeah well I just meant that it's not a pre-requisite, but it's definitely attractive.

mind you, I actually have a phobia of very tall people, anyone taller than 1,90 I can't even look at or stand next to... they just freak me out :p

^^whoa, I thought it was just me! :D

in my old bar job everyone learned after some time that I just don't serve very tall people, period. I just couldn't face them at all, I'd disappear in the kitchen or something.

I would never go to a basketball game.
