attractive/unattractive physical features in men

Post Reply New Topic

This is also a small sub-group within a larger group. Statistically, we can't possibly be the voice for "all" women. Of course, that would depend on which negative criteria you appear to be meeting.

Agreed!

Kissing someone significantly taller than you gives you a sore neck.

The most attractive features for me are: (all academic as I'm married and he's just right)

cleanliness - would need to shower once a day
looks after his body (he doesn't need to go to the gym, in fact overdoing it there would turn me off) - just enough to show me that he doesn't intend couch potatoing himself to an early grave
looks after his health in general, so no smoking, no binge drinking and no illegal drugs (would tolerate cannabis, but not smoked)
neat hair - needn't be short, but no mullet and no hair dye, especially not streaks
body hair - natural please, trim it if it gets out of hand, but please don't wax
colouring - any at all
a pert bum is a bonus - check

I should think that most of the above could be do-able for any man.

unattractive:
BO
too much muscle, anything more than Skillet's John Cooper is too much.
Bald
too much body hair
Facial hair
beer belly
short legs

Attractive
Pretty eyes, particularly blue or green
nice smile
long hair
average build
hair that is darker than skin color, for instance a really tan guy w/ blond hair isn't attractive
sexy voice

Is that you in your avatar? If so, you're pretty cute! Lovely lips. Is that okay to say to a man?

What's BO?

Body Odor.

BO= body odor

BO: Body odor.

If you're sensative to BO I do not recommend you attend a metal concert , because there will be much sweat, B.O possibly the smell of beer or mayben even cannabis.

I've only met guys shorter than me once or twice, but short would be good for me, most men are probably too tall compared to me.

Actually, the question is a fail. In my personal experience, by and large, although exceptions may exist, women do not pick men based on physical features.

Not the ones a guy is born with, anyway. Things like haircuts and clothing choices enter the picture because they tell you something about who the guy is, and who he is, inside, is THE most important feature.

Attractive; scent...OMG there is just this scent some men give off that's intoxicating, wrinkles...a face with character, tall with a nice build, nice big many hands, and beautiful eyes.

Unattractive; poor hygiene.

Sorry, but pull the other one, it's got bells on.

I would date a shorter guy if my height didn't bug him. It's been my experience that a portion of shorter guys feel emasculated or something and start throwing little digs at my appearance and getting annoyed when I wear heels. And that attitude is not cute.
I'm just shy of 6' which makes it a little challenging to date guys much taller than me (also to buy jeans)
Though my current S.O. is around 6'5" (we promise not to destroy Tokyo)
Good hands, broad shoulders, kind face, and good hygiene are all preferable.

I'm usually not very attracted to someone physically until I know them personally. I can look at a hot guy (let's say a Michael Fassbender or an Alexander Skarsgard) and see that they're hot, but I don't have the physical reaction to seeing them that I would at seeing a crush or S.O.

You can't make a generalization about a whole gender and be correct. People just aren't standardized that way.



If you personally don't put much stock in physical appearance that's fine, express your personal opinion, but you don't get to speak for all women.
