I thought this would be interesting as a poll, and without sounding shallow, I tried to put certain traits/looks/styles that *most* people would be attracted to. Please let me know if I should change this if it sounds offensive.

I could only select two; eyes and smile.  Intelligence is the other big one for me.

Though they're all nice, I picked Eyes, Hair and Curvaceousness (kind of an interesting way to word that).. hair and figure are about tied for most important. Eyes certainly don't hurt.

I picked smile, because a man has to make me laugh.  It's non-negotiable.  And if he smiles a lot, it stands to reason that he has a decent sense of humor.  I picked muscular, not because I want to date a body builder, but because I love big broad shoulders.  Lastly I picked bald, because I love men with shaved heads. 

It's gotta be the eyes, smile and height for me... :)

eyes,good smile,personality,smarts and curvaceousness

It's all in the smile.

Other important factors.. you should be able to kiss without standing on tip toes or leaning down much.

Just go with the flow ;D

Same here as far as physical features go.  Personality goes a long way too.

Good for you, Howard. Good for you.  ;D

Eyes and hair.  I'm quite partial toward red heads (natural, of course) :)

Definitely eyes, and hands.

Eyes, Smile and hair...not saying thar bald men are unattractive.  What I mean is I wouldn't want a guy with a comb-over or a toupee.  Lack of hair is not a problem, BAD hair is.  LOL!

I chose eyes, smile, and clean silky sweet smelling hair . I also love a smooth slender neck that is so made for nuzzling.  ;)  oh oh, and I almost forgot Curvaceousness.

this thread made me think of Shallow Hal, when he's stuck in an elevator with Tony Robbins. 
------------------------------------------------------


Hal: See, the problem is I'm kinda picky
Tony Robbins: What do you mean, picky?
Hal: Well, for instance, I like 'em real young. Like, did you ever see Paulina in her first "Sports Illustrated" layout?
Tony Robbins: You're looking for a young Paulina type?
Hal: Well, that face, but with better headlights. You know how hers have kind of dimmed lately? Heidi Klums beams would do. And her teeth. Or, ooh, that Britney Spears girl. She's got great knockers. But she's a tad muscular. Uh, actually, you know what? Her ass would do, too, if she had a better grille. Like, uh, Michelle Pfeiffer back when she did "Grease 2". But she'd have to be a little smilier than Michelle. Kinda like Rebecca Romijn-Stamos, before she got Stamosed. But not as skinny. Someone a little meatier, like Heidi. But without the accent. You know those accents: yah-yah-yah-yah. They really get old fast. You know what I mean. Someone like that.

Tony Robbins: Hal, don't you think you're being a bit shallow here in the way you look at women?
Hal: Well, no! You know, I'd like her to be into culture and sh*t, too.
Tony Robbins: Ok Hal, hypothetical situation; Which do you prefer, a girlfriend missing one breast or half a brain?
Hal: Hmmm, toughie. What about the remaining breast? Is it big?

I have a forest. ;)
Some people refer to that as Fur  :o

I don't think Howard saw the word "chest" in there  ;D

no way you just said that Kristen  ;D ROTFLMAO 

Face, personality.

I picked height, because as a short person, I'd rather not have a GF who is, like, 6 foot something.  :P

Also picked smile & Other (personality)

Personality would be the first choice.

Face, personality.


Yeah, a lot of it is in the face for me.. I guess that reflects in choosing hair and eyes.. smile is a big plus too.. it's not hugely important to me, but I couldn't date someone with really fudgeed-up teeth.

PS: I was confused by this thread at first. As mate = friend over here.  ;D

As far as personality I like a good sense of humor and good taste in music. Being a pinko liberal like myself helps..

Eyes, smile, and rear-end. :)

Ha! I definitely have the third one. ::)

  roger that ^^

Of course I did,I'm not stupid. ::)

I have plenty of chest hair.. I started getting it when I was 13! :o

I picked "Eyes". To me, they say so much. I like to have conversations with people, using our eyes only. Hm, physically, muscles gross me out a lot, so I tend to like really skinny guys.

Ha! I definitely have the third one. ::)



You don't have any eyes or smile? :o

You don't have any eyes or smile? :o


Of course I do :P

;D ;D ;D ;D ;)

Actually I've always been told my eyes are my best feature, I have long eyelashes. ;)

Guys usually have the nicest eyes when it comes to lashes. :)

That's so true, and it's totally unfair to us ladies who have 'sparse' lashes!  :-[

Of course I did,I'm not stupid. ::)


I was kidding, Howard, you're just really funny, you know..  ;D

I have an Austin Powers chest hair. ;D

He better have a head full of hair so I can grab it. I also look at the eyes and smile. If he has a hooded, shady look, hes no good. A full set of teeth is a must as well. When I kiss him, I don't want my tongue darting in spaces that should have teeth.  ;D

Nice Ass ;)

Actually I've always been told my eyes are my best feature, I have long eyelashes. ;)


I have long eyelashes, too. And eyebrows, head hair, armpit hair, and should I mention leg hair?

physical traits: I would say I love Eyes, especially Eyebrows.. not Peter what's his name type.. but a nicely shaped brow.. ala Keanu Reeves, Joachin Phoenix, Christian Slater..  I also like noses.. not prissy Hugh Grant noses, but a nose with some flare.. ala Noah Wyle, Adrian Brody, even Bruce Springsteen. I like a noses with character.  I like teeth too.. not too snaggletoothed, but you know.. a little gap or a little crooked is ok.. I love eyeteeth.. like somewhat pointy ones.. they're hot.  I love Dark hair.. and goatees.. I think they are sexy. Body type..well I like bellies.. with a nice treasure trail.. and I'm not talking six pack abs.. those are nice yes, but I don't mind a beer belly either...

Personality traits... Sense of Humor is a must! someone who can make me laugh.. well that's most important.. that's what attracted me to my husband. He can make me laugh like nobody else. Intelligence and compassion would be next on my list.

I have a prominent schnozz.

Whats a hooded, shady look? ???

someone who can carry on an adult conversation without acting like a baby.

Amen to that! ;)

Yeah!! I LOVE prominent schnozzes!  :)

Too much body hair is a turn-off.  I don't want to date Robin Williams.

Great description! It's funny how we have these very small but important parts of the physical portion where they need (or we'd like them) to be a certain way.

If I wanted to sum it up perfectly, my ideal man would have these physical aspects:
Curly/wavy dark brown hair
about 6'3''
nice amount of chest hair, long eyelashes and blue eyes.
A nice smile (some crooked teeth are okay - mine aren't even perfectly straight across the board) and a prominent nose (without flare - I like a nice solid, classical or Roman nose, as they call it).
Somewhat thin, but has meat in all the right spots. A little bit of a belly doesn't bother me one bit.

Personality -I like humor that's off beat, yet goofy and somewhat child-like. I can't stand show-offs. Intelligence that matches or exceeds my own is a plus. And there are different kinds of "intelligent" people out there, too, so sometimes you've got to watch out for certain types that may not fit your personality. I like someone who's shoulder I can lean on and who will genuinely listen to my wishes and hopes and dreams (because I'm full of them).

This pretty much describes my boyfriend - and to me, he's my ideal man  :)

My ideal woman has the following qualities-

Physical:
Beautiful, well-kept, flowing hair (color negligible)
Flashing smile, with full lips
Freckles (I seem to like them- makes sense, since I have them.)
Rubenesque figure (Considering that I was raised around busty women as a child, it doesn't surprise me)
Soft, well-maintained skin (I never wanted to be with an armadillo)
Round rump (Flatter butts seem more like back extensions. I need something to GRAB!)
Sturdy legs (Mine don't work that well- hers should, just in case!)

Mental/Emotional:
Musically passionate
Even mixture of seriousness & insouciance
Concerned, but not paranoid
Open-minded
Adaptable
Spontaneous, when the need arises
Cultured
Educated (I have met many uneducated people. I have felt IQ points drop! Not good!)
Sensuous
Classy

My wife, Melissa, has most of these qualities.
There is very little I would change about her, even if I could.

I like some freckles, too.  :) I have freckles, but I have more moles than freckles that are prominent.

Yeah!! I LOVE prominent schnozzes!  :)



Mine is tilted to one side cause when I was growing up I must've gotten hit in the nose by someone
