What is the strongest factor in sexual attraction?

When I was younger it was pretty eyes and scent, now that Im 30 I would have to say Character is a sexual attraction and Good Character is hard to find.

@wifeysays good answer, but what do you think is the strongest?

Strongest sexual attraction would be to the eyes so yes your are right, though we should be listening first before anyone gets sexually attractive to anyone! I hope some people get some tips off of this especially the young ones. I know your out there.

For me, it’s the pheromones, and then there confidence! :)

Waist to hip ratio.

@DesireeCassandra but if confidence vs the pheromones which is the strongest? @Rarebear so its the looks then?

Pheromones.

I would definitely for me say its the looks because just now when I looked at wifesays avatar, i was completely attracted and I couldnt smell or see how confident she is…..( with all do respect to our new member :))

@Rarebear What is your hip-to-waist ratio?

I think it’s eyes and subconscious scent.

@ladymia69 lol mine? Certainly not like this:

Pheromones, facial symmetry and waist to hip ratio. The latter being a way that men are attracted to women. (I have no idea if there’s an equivalent attractant on the opposite side. Maybe shoulder to waist ratio?) And I can’t pick just one as I think they are all equal. At least in terms of initial attraction.

Brains.

If we knew, we would all exploit the knowledge.
The question is about sexual attraction, and not other reasons to feel affection for others.
Regarding raw sexual attraction, in my case it definitely has something to do with scent.

Knowledge I am so attracted and turned on by men who I feel I learn something from

Initially it’s in the looks but that gets a thumbs up or thumbs down in the first few minutes of conversation when the attraction moves strongly towards character.

I think it starts with a persons mindset because that causes sexy body language, voice and smell. A person that feels great about himself is more attractive. If you walk into a bedroom and there is a super hot looking guy or girl, but they are all down and out or have a negative energy about themself, or you walk into the next room with a mediocre looking person that feels great and has positive energy-which room would you want to stay in?

I like good, shapely thighs, somewhat muscled.

I like women that ask Poll questions.

Body odor.

Triggers a lot of genetic programs and we are not even aware of this. Our neocortex just realizes this: oh, wow, this woman is hot. So hot.

Really, is that true @mattbrowne ?

So a person with a muscular body, has less of a chance than a person with a good smell?

Yes, it’s really true, see
