I think you have just described about everything that is unattractive about me.

I also have quite a lot of facial hair and I have to admit that so many women just don't find men with a lot of facial hair attractive.

Excessive facial hair does not look good on men especially on those men who also wear glasses in addition to having facial hair. Also some women may be allergic to facial hair so that could explain why they prefer men without it.

Also Wikipedia says that men without facial hair are more attractive to women than men with a lot of facial hair.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_attractiveness

Wikipedia also says that men with straight Caucasian hair are more attractive to women than men with kinky "Afro" hair and I have to say that I agree with Wikipedia on this.

I also have visible black dots (hyperpigmentation) on my face which I think is also not so attractive. I think the skin should look clean, smooth and homogenous.

I would do everything just to improve my facial skin, trim my nose hair and get rid of my excessive facial hair if only I had the money for this but unfortuntely I just do not have the money for this.


And yet I have dated men with all the features I listed as unattractive. As most women are saying here, the physical features are rarely deal breakers.


You... (sorry for this blunt calling --->) ...you , women, often go for the opposite of what you claim to go for lol

I absolutely hate muscles. It can even make a really nice guy seem less attractive to me.

Well, I don't like to see that guys work out. That's more of my problem.

Things that I may find attractive:

1. Beards
2. Longish hair
3. I think I prefer more feminine guys

Things that I don't like:

1. Goatees
2. short hair, army style
3. overly masculine guys
4. fake tans (almost forgot about that one)
5. muscles

As do men, there's this social concept of what we're supposed to want that gets talked about a lot, but what people actually like is a great deal more varied and often less socially acceptable.

That's an overstatement. :P One thing I've noticed, though, is that 40 year old women tend to prefer masculine men, whereas many 20 year old women like feminine men.

What's wrong with the guy at the bottom is that he's nearly exposing himself.

I wouldn't really say that Robert Pattinson (for example) is muscular. Furthermore, his facial features aren't really manly either.

I do think, though, that Arnie and Franco were a bit over-the-top in terms of muscle, even compared to what was considered ideal in the 70's.

Bruce Lee was all muscle and could bench 320 lbs. Not to mention the fact that his testosterone level went through the skies after he started juicing. :D

Exactly, yet he's of the skinny-muscular category.
