What makes a guy attractive?

[Vkmies]

Well. I used to not get anyone, but now I am a total stud. All I needed was a message from god while I was asleep. It was great. This is what he told me:

1. Weight. You want a good weight. And none of that muscle-bullcrap. REAL weight. For what I have heard, McDonalds is a good daily source of some attractive fat. Nothing gets a lady more excited than a good pair of man-titties.

2. Hair. Hairy titties>Bare titties. No only that, but what you want is a dirty neckbeard. It really shows off your manliness. A good old neckbeard.

3. Knowledge. Sharing your extensive knowledge about Transformers, or even better, My Little Pony, will make them think you are super smart. Then they will be all impressed about it.

4 Act better. You need to make sure she knows that she is inferior when she doesn't know as much about G.I Joe as you. Snarky, sarcastic comments work well, hitting/slapping them works the best.

If you master these 4 steps, all of the women will love you. You owe all of your future sex-having to me. You can thank me later, by giving me all of your money. You are welcome.

As a male, from a purely physical point of view, the main contenders are muscley arms, pecks, 6 pack and toned legs.

Spoiler: I'm going on a bit of a rant here

I have none of those. You get women that say 'but it's personality that counts' and then they see a person with the 4 above mentioned attributes and go 'fwooor' (I don't know how to spell that)

I'm one of those people that gets all the girls saying they want to meet someone like me but not me (not going to go into a friend zone rant here, did that on another thread) so where is the line between personality and looks? Confidence is a big part of it but, because I have little confidence due to not having the above 4, I just chat and that's when I get friend zoned. By the time they've realised what a catch I am, it's too late. Actually, this wasn't a relationship thread and the topic I answered earlier so I'll just stop here.

One nearly universal thing is to have abdominal and core muscles that are in good enough shape to have sex (can be seen by posture, doesn't mean having a "6-pack").

 

[Me55enger]

Arms. Some girls like big srtong arms.

I've had a stable relationship for a few years now. She wants to feel safe.

That and a wide penis.

Screw length, width is what you're after.

As I have recently found out, women have preferred tastes in appearances as well as personality, similar to guys but not exact.

You didn't know that before?
I know the song goes `I'm every woman`, but thats not how it actually works.

As for me, I like a nice back and chest.
Also muscles, but not too much.
I have a bit of a thing for nerdy type guys.

And they need to have a nice smile, and a nice jaw.

I'm male, so it may not be the attention you want, but I personally find that I am far more attracted to the overall feel that a man has than any specific part. When men look at women, I find that they can focus on a single part of a woman's body and be attracted, but for me, all parts of their body contribute equally.

If a man has a beautiful body in some parts, but in some parts is deformed, I probably won't be attracted to him physically. Personality plays a major part as well, but that's not the point of this thread, I suppose.

I guess if I had to pinpoint specific parts that are most important, the face, arms, butt and err... groin... would be it.

That and a wide penis.

Screw length, width is what you're after.

This also.

 

[Richardplex]

And this is why running is totally not cool: no one cares about leg muscles.

 

[DarkRyter]

I always figured a man's attractiveness was directly proportional to his similarity to Batman.

 

[Zyntoxic]

I know what I like the most in a mans appearance.
Arms... mainly the forearms, but the rest as well.
well shaped but not too muscly arms with a some visible veins are worth dying for, and if they end with going over with a pretty bold wrist bone (you know that bump just before the hand)and then over to a pair of big, rather rough hands, with somewhat flattened thumbs (it's a weird specific but I like my thumbs that way =P) then I'm gonna be all over this person.

My boyfriend's arms are the most perfect arms I have ever seen, and I don't seem to be alone in liking them, it has happened more than a couple of time that I have to tell other women to keep their hands off his arms =P

 

[Ickorus]

I've had girls compliment me on all sorts of things, my face, my hands, my eyes, my fingernails (Yeah), my ass, my legs, my hair, my (horribly goofy) smile; this is all odd because I'm not a particularly attractive man.

But yeah, anyway, what I'm getting at from what I've gathered is that different women seem to like different things and so long as you don't look like some kind of failed lab experiment personality and bearing seem to be key.

 

[Ickorus]

As someone already said on here- suits are designed to flatter the male form, and thus accent the shoulders and chest. I appreciate a good suit on a man- makes him look about 100% sexier.

Now I need to order some suits.

...

Looking good is expensive...

Charity shops rock for that, I got an awesome suit jacket worth about £200 for £10 a few years back, looked brand new to;, like someone wore it once and never again.

Well... damn. Thanks for the tip. I may just have to go get one or two.

I will warn you, it did take a fair bit of looking about to find a good one but if you ever find yourself near a charity shop with a bit of spare cash and time on your hands it's always worth a look.

 

[TheKruzdawg]

I've been told I have a nice ass.
But they haven't seen my pale ginger ass outside of clothes...

This. I find it disconcerting that girls tell me I have a nice ass. I never think about it, and it makes me self conscious.

Same here. It has the opposite effect than what they are trying to achieve by telling me this.

Being Funny and taking care of your hair

 

[LilithSlave]

I guess I've always had this fantasy of finding a cute, nice, gentle, troubled guy, and hugging them forever. Even if it doesn't make sense, it sounds incredibly romantic.

Boy did you end up on the right forum
Makes me wonder how much omission is on that fantasy of yours...

I'm... not sure what to make of this response... exactly.

 

[Lt._nefarious]

from what I can gather *points at picture of Brad Pitt* basically that...

 

[minarri]

"Common likings" are pretty much that a guy not be a goober and not be a douche.

Ignore button? Like ivy on a tree, you've got a creeper.

Nah, I'm sure Mr.K has a reason for that, however hard it is to discern.

Generally Op you should easily know what women find attractive, just read a chick flick novel or two. Do bear in mind though, that this is women rather than a woman. Different strokes for different folks. If you want to know what a particular woman finds attractive you would have to know her and ask her. And you can't grantee that she'll tell the truth, whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Well for me it depends on the guy. I'm currently attracted to a guy that I met at a bar some months back. At the beginning I wasn't attracted to him straight away, that came with time. But his personality is what did it for me. Now I'm not saying that i didn't think he was good looking, I did. But i found myself noticing more and more about different features. I find now that I really like his eyes, especially when he wears his glasses. Also lips, and shoulders. I love any guy in a nice fitted shirt.


Anyway usually the eyes are what do it for me, and smile. Shoulders and arms are also what I find attractive, But not huge Muscley arms.
