And I don't mean personality-wise. Pure looks. What kind of guy gets the attention of you beautiful ladies?

I don't think it matters with most guys since all we really care about are a pair of tits and a pussy. But I'm guessing that you ladies are a bit more selective than we are. So what is it? And don't go all politically correct and say that guy's looks don't matter. That may happen after you get to know him, but what makes you get all wet when you see him from across the room for the first time?

Wanting to get all politically correct and answer......


but since you said don't....what physically attracts me to a guy is the traditional tall dark and handsome...dark being defined as dark hair, dark eyes, and even dark skin. The blonde blue eyed Scandanavian look just doesn't do it for me...but I have a girlfriend that will gladly salivate over those guys :) But to show looks don't really matter...I've rarely had a serious relationship with someone who was tall dark and handsome...and trust me I was sexually attracted to all of them.
 
Maybe ‘looks don’t matter’ is not politically correct but the truth…

For me, a confident attitude and a wicked smile grab my attention. Of course, it helps if he is somewhat muscular (bulky or dancer-type) and has great hands. Oh… and I must be one of the few who has a thing for hairy men – not bear-like though.
 
To quote tidbits from previous posters, I like men who are "tall, dark and handsome" and have a "confident attitude and a wicked smile." These are both huge attraction factors for me. Muscular physique isn't a must in my book, and I have a weird tendency to be attracted to men with somewhat irregular-looking noses. I also have a thing for bad boys - I usually find the villains in many movies far more attractive than the hero.
 
I like tall men with broad shoulders and strong hands. I'm also partial to light colored eyes that get all bright with merriment when he's laughing. I think this is because I, and everyone in my family, have dark dark brown eyes. Brown equals boring to me since I've seen 'em in the mirror every day for the last 32 years.

He's got to have a great smile, one of those contagious/mischievous grins that is just adorable.
 
Looks matter, but not a lot. That said, a good looking face and smile gets my attention. I don't really care about a body as long as I'm attracted to the face. I've also had a preference for tall (6 feet plus is perfect) and not too thin, but that point is highly negotiable. I don't recall ever getting wet from just looking at someone...it has always taken personality or some sort of physical contact to get me going. :D
 
Goes to whimper in a corner....

Imagine if you will a taller version of Danny Devito (with more hair, and a real NY accent) :D

We all say looks don't matter, but we also tend to dismiss those that don't fit into our "profile" unless thrown together by chance and or work.
 
I generally discount looks, and often will even step back from good looking guys if the attitude is wrong. But, looks do open doors, and I'd open mine to a clean shaven, clean cut gentleman with beautiful eyes that hold mine, and lickable, kissable lips.
 
I'm going to have to go with the "politically correct" answer as well. No guy, by looks alone has ever got me going. It has a lot to do with projected confidence and personality.

I'm personally immediately attracted to guys with great smiles and a good sense of humour. Although a set of pretty soulful eyes is one thing that really gets my attention. I think it has something to do with having dark eyes myself, like Fleatopia said.

Sometimes it's the Rolex and the shoes me thinks, but hey I'm a guy so what do I know.
 
most women probably don't realize it but GENERALLY, women look for balance in a man's appearance.

anonymous men who are generally considered to be attractive (based solely on looks) have a uniformity to them. take any man and put points on his extreme left and right sides at:

ears
eyes
jaw
shoulders
chest
hips
knees

then draw a line between each of the two left and right points. put a point in the measured center of each of those horizontal lines. the straighter the vertical line formed by connecting those mid-points, the more attractive the man is considered.

this is one o' those kookie things our minds do that we don't realize.
 
Clean shaven face

friendly eyes

nice butt

nice, taken care of hands


I like guys who have a haircut that fits them, wear clean clothes, stuff like that.
 
Physically my "type" is dark - anywhere from black to a really, really tanned white guy, and big. Not necessarily tall, but just built larger/musclier than average. Given that I like dark guys, usually the ones that I look at and am like "woah!" over have brown hair and brown eyes. I also like tattoos on a guy.

That said, my sister's "type" is tall and skinny with pale skin and dark hair, preferably with dreadlocks and piercings.

And another friend, I joke with her that her "type" has only two requirements - that he be 1) naked, and 2) nearby.
 
To delve further in if I can. What kind of a butt on a guy looks best? I've been trying to sculpt mine at the gym. I don't want to overdo it or concentrate on the wrong area.

But Bob babe...even if you looked like the original Danny Devito...short, little hair...you'd look adorable to me....so quite your whimpering and come sit down here beside me.

You see? It's all about personality. Even Bob can land himself a spot next to some of the most gorgeous boobs on Lit :nana:
 
No wonder no girls find me attraction. I'm only 5'9 or 5'10 and a big guy. I should go to the gym and lose weight, but I don't have the time. Any ladies attracted to the Big and Beatiful Men?

Hey Gemini, check out this thread - I think you'll enjoy it ;)

Quick hijack...
Which reminds me, Lynxie, when are yours going to make an appearance? :devil:
 
I tend to gravitate toward confidently arrogant men with fair hair and blue eyes. I like guys who have some meat on them but aren't fat. My ex, for example, is a 300-lb former offensive lineman who's in most excellent shape. My husband's currently in the process of losing a little weight because his job has weight/fitness requirements. He looks perfectly fine to me whether he loses the weight or not, but I know he's more comfortable when he's about 10 pounds lighter than he is right now.

It's all so subjective, though. What gets me hot might repulse someone else.

If I had to choose between a man who was a bit overweight and one who was a bit underweight, I'd choose the overweight one. That said, TOO overweight is not good - I want someone who's going to be ALIVE to spend the rest of his life with me!

A lot of women are attracted to shorter, huskier fellows. My main reason for liking taller, not too skinny men is that I feel like I won't break them. However, my hubby is about my height and wiry, and I haven't broken him yet. :D If you want to lose weight for yourself, go for it, but I bet lots of women are attracted to you now.

Yes but Bob has that famous look to work with. ;) Me, I'm about 5'10", 200 lbs, though most people think I'm about 160--not much of a stomach though I'm not muscular either. Dark hair, dark eyes, yellow skin. Can't do kung fu, but I can fake it with the best of them.

By the way, all you ladies have some nice busts :D
 
My men must have facial hair. I don't mean full beard, just a moustache or better yet a goatee. I have a thing about hands/fingers, it has to be manly and yet not stocky fingers. Oh yes, voice! How can I forget? Deep masculine voice that bring shivers up my spine :D Those are the shallow bits.

On a deeper level, I like to be with a man who knows more than which team is heading in the EPL (English Premier League). I'm attracted to men who are funny, not really Robin Williams type of funny but one who can pull off a joke without making it sound very corny.

I`m not sure whether to be happy this didn`t cause a flame war or to be sad that all the women seemed to accept this as a given.

I generally take it as standard that most women have either, all, or at least some combination of the above, which actually puts these items fairly low on the list of things to look for.

It`s the things I don`t know that interest me.
