Most women would find that disgusting, and I can see why. |

This guy is completely disproportionate, and looks like he's been juicing. Major unattractive (to me).
And, no, Robert Pattinson is not masculine. Not to this gal, anyway. He may be different in person, but everything I've seen him in screams androgynous.
Then again, I'm more of a Jeffrey Dean Morgan-type, in terms of attraction. |

It actually depends on what line of work they do, for example, and I hope you'll excuse using the same example I've used in another thread, construction workers would be more muscular than someone working in a bank... Especially if they have an active lifestyle in addition. But not on a body-building level, because body builders do not only work on their muscles, they also eat a lot of protein etc. and that lifestyle is very calculated. |

Maybe Frank Zane is a bad example. Why is Robert Pattinson better looking than this?

The typically won't have six pack abs or large arms. The reason sprinters and UFC fighters also lift heavy in the gym is because it's the only way to get a significant muscle gain. |

He isn't. This guy is very hot. Pattinson isn't, to me. Pattinson is "pretty". Yuck. JMHO.
Of course, tastes change over a lifetime. I'm in my 40's, so that could inform my tastes, as well. 
I never did like the pretty look, though. Never. |

Haha, maybe I have an image of what Working Men look like from porn, who knows...   Don't forget we're AS here. Anyway, I'm ready to admit my mistake. |

Duh, stop claiming that females are superior in that regard.
DW_a_mom, sometimes, I wonder from what planet you are.
Anyways, there's no dubious reason for making this thread, it's just a copy of the other thread. |
What planet am I on? The one where I've dated quite a variety men and am now quite happily married, hanging out mostly with other people who are quite happily married. The one where I know the difference between fantasy and reality.
Since this is the love and dating board, there is something I think posters hoping to find the real thing need to understand: there is, in my experience, based off my life and the women I am close to, a world of difference between drooling/fawning/acting like a love-crazed tween and the reality of dating/marriage. One is fantasy and one is reality, and in my experience reality is much, much, much better than fantasy. Fantasy is tons of fun and it has its place, and women can even bond over it, but it often, in my experience, has more to do with what you don't really want than what you really do.
All that said, in the light of good fun:
Eyes and smiles. Those are my biggest turn ons. Not that a good body hurts, but a good body without the eyes and the smile is nothing.

of course looks are important to women - nobody said it was not the case.
Harry Potter is massively popular with girls, actually. but they are definitely younger as it is a children's book and not aimed at adult women.
and you are pushing this to the realm of a personal attack on DW_A_Mom. knock it off.

No, harry potten, even the older version of Harry Potter was never ever a sex symbol among teen girls like that twilight dude.

Well her 'dubious reasons' comment was in the real of a personal attack on me , so she better to knock it off too.

There was a stats okcupid study showing that women only rate a minority of men as hot-looking, much less than men who rate a large portion of women as hot-looking.
So if this is true, a lot of women have no choice but to pick men who are much less "hot-looking" than their fantasies. Give them more choices, and things would be too different. |

I find these features (most) attractive:
Swimmers build. Too much bulk is just scary... though I have recently found a couple of muscly guys physically appealing for some reason.
I find I have little preference for eye colour, though contrasting, deep eyes are very appealing. Dark colours, for instance.
Taller than I is a preference, for sure. I'm 180cm, so it's pretty hard to find taller men.
Soft lips!
Working hands >.>
Facial hair!
Body hair!
mmm.... body hair... Actually, nothing is more attractive than chest hair

Harry Potter is/was was a sex symbol - just with a younger set. i am particularly aware of this as i had a teenager of the applicable age with applicable friends.
her statement that you have created a thread for dubious reasons is not an attack. you have created several threads for dubious reasons in recent times.
