Men: What do you like most in a woman?

How copacetic she is, and how accomplished, and how amusing. Next, my sense of what kind of long-term companion she would be. If I can imagine her wiping the drool off my chin in the nursing home, cheerfully, I’m hooked.

the thighs :)

@pdworkin I’m with you there. I noticed that the suggestions from @ItalianPrincess1217 were all about appearance. Uh uh: it’s about character and integrity.

The voice. Some women have voices which simply don’t go along with their physicality. Some are so talkative that whatever physicality beauty and charm they possess is negated by their constant mindless chatter.

On – Shappy lips, proper breast size, and long legs

Off- Bitchy character, arrogance, mannerism to a certain extend.

@mea05key um..what are Shappy lips?? and what’s a proper breast size…

Fun! They can be so much fun! Fun! Fun!

The right chemistry between a man and a woman can make a man forget all his miseries. Nothing else would matter. Every day would be sunshine no matter what the weather.

Women are the reason I live. They are the reason I love.

@lynneblundell I thin he meant shapely lips.

@PapaLeo Yes my suggestions were about appearance because I’m sure every guy has a preference when it comes to a woman’s looks. I didn’t want any generic “She has to have a good heart and a be intelligent” answers.

@ItalianPrincess1217 Well, I am a sucker for beautiful eyes, colorful eyes, full lips, natural blonds, natural brunettes, 5’6 and under between 100 and 120lbs, B or C cups, fitness rear end.

I think variety is key to keeping my interest. I love all hairstyles on women. I guess I like a girl who isn’t afraid to change up her appearance every 3 to 4 months.

@ItalianPrincess1217 Why not? They’re the only ones that count.

If your choice of partner is based solely on looks, you deserve what you get.

The eyes. Those windows to the soul.
Beauty comes from within, and expresses itself outward.
So I look for the inner beauty first and then I asses the rest.
Oh, and she better have a good set of teeth.

Sweet life; bitter, always a challenge. We breath,
we exist we die. The course of the universe, swirling, spreads out
before us.
Sweet love.The breath of life you feed me, makes my being justifiable.
Spinning; expanding together, and when time departs us.
Great satisfaction, our lives worth lived.

It’s like what @PapaLeo said—character and integrity are very important. Brains are incredibly sexy to me. So is confidence. She knows who she is and she knows what she likes. When all that comes with a very desirable physicality, it’s the stuff that dreams are made of.

And I’m not able to exclude any kind of physical characteristic from beauty. I guess it’s symmetry, large eyes (blue or green), well-defined chin, high cheek bones, aquiline nose, a well-composed face, decent-sized breasts, long legs, hourglass figure, and for me, that way of walking that high heels seems to bring. I could watch a woman walking with that rolling waggle in her hips forever. Jeans. Thin dress (extra points for no panty line). Oh baby!

But that’s just looks. Just a part of it. it can come with any type of hair, and really, any color eyes, and any stature. It comes in every color of skin. It comes with every eye shape. If it fits that general model, I’ll find it sexy.

Of course, if the woman only thinks about make-up or clothes, I just can’t deal with her. I want to be able to talk politics and spirituality and art and engineering and science fiction and data analysis, and sports and relationships and emotions and just about everything—at a fairly sophisticated level—with her. I want her to be able to educate me. She must know a lot of things I don’t know. Have wisdom I don’t have.

That’s what I like most in a woman. Not having those things turns me off, more or less. I don’t like things like splotchy skin, loose skin, huge noses, a lack of a chin, unbalanced features, too much weight, etc, etc. All the standard stuff. Women all know it. They know what’s sexy and what isn’t. And, like men, I’m sure they all want to be reassured they have it. Or enough of it to make up for any inadequacies in other areas.

And, @ItalianPrincess1217, I don’t think you should worry about that—at least as far as looks are concerned.

Since the question is asked with physical qualities here are the ones I like/dislike:

Good – b to c cup size, nice curves, nice butt (shapely), good waist hip ratio Nice eyes, small waist, short or tall as long as everything is good proportionally, small of the back(very sexy), slender to average weight, cute face, confidence, like all color of eyes, like all styles of hair, but prefer long curly hair.
Bad – overweight (some women can get by better than others)
Ugly – poor hygiene

@PapaLeo, @daloon , @ItalianPrincess1217

They’re right. I once met a chinese girl who was gorgeous from every angle. I couldn’t really take her seriously because

1. She was a pot head. I don’t like girls who smoke.
2. She was too attached after only two dates.
3. Her breath was horrible.
4. She wasn’t bright enough.

Dry humor, sexual confidence and a vivid imagination. Oh, and flaming red hair.

Long hair, greenish eyes, personality and height. I don’t want her to be taller than me.
Off- Smokers, girly girls, and bratty ones

Turnons: Interested in sci-fi and British comedy, enjoys computer games (especially shooters), wears glasses, curly hair, brunette or redhead, shorter than me, interested in languages, works well with ISTJ

Turnoffs: Japanophiles, interested in “America’s Next Top (whatever)” shows, smokers, heavy drinkers, hard drug users, highly religious, uninterested in “learning for the sake of learning”, very emotionally charged, doesn’t take care of herself (acne, smelly, way overweight), mustached, enjoys high heels

Her brain is probably the most important thing.

Followed by the hair.

That curvy bit between her neck and her stomach.

Ok, turn ons:
-Long hair, preferably black (but I don’t mind)
-curves (yes, and breasts are very important to me)
-eyes, especially if there’s a contrast with the hair colour (eg green with black)
-smile, which is the single most powerful sex tool every human has. It can turn ugly ducklings into world-class beauties :)
(I assume you only meant physical characteristics, so I won’t talk about attitude, character etc)

Turn offs:
-Shaved head. Unshaved armpits.
-Tattoos and piercings. I don’t mind a discreet little heart on her shoulder, but the whole body as a canvas or tongue-rings and so on…I even broke up with a girlfriend when she pierced her nose.
-Too much make-up
-Extremely fat (I don’t mean just a bit overweight) or extremely skinny (when you can feel the bones).
-Smelly

I forgot to add that I love the lips

@lynneblundell

There are a lot of breast shape. Some looks good in small size while others look good in big package. Depending on the body shape as well. I know when it looks good. Its hard to describe.

Lips depends on the the jaw line, eyes, nose and forehead. In general i think sufficiently thick lips looks fine. Not too thick until it looks like a bee stung. Just thick enough to be sensual. I find that some girls/ladies have thin lips, sufficiently broad. I think they look nice as well. I find girl that wears glossy lipstick attractive.

I love women who enjoy life, who are funny, and are happy.
Physically, I love asians, redheads, and curves.

@filmfann Some men see a size 4 as curvy while others think curvy is more of a size 16. Where do you fall?

@Facade I am wondering the same thing! My close gay guy friend of mine told me I looked “curvy” the other day and I am a size 6–8 depending on the cut. I wasn’t sure whether I should be flattered or offended haha. I asked the guys in the room here though, and they all agree curvy is in.

Believe it or not, personality first (to an extent). I’ve known some women who weren’t very attractive physically but they were so fun to be with that it didn’t matter.

But… as far as physical traits go? I wouldn’t know where to start. So many women are beautiful in their own way that I can’t possibly narrow it down to a preference.. (other than the obvious.. no matter how nice someone is I’m not going to be attracted to someone who is morbidly obese or has a rat’s dental hygiene)

What turns me off?
– Someone easy, slutty, or otherwise way too available.
– Someone who sleeps with a lot of people.. bleh.
– Hair that is too short..short is good.. just not too short
– Someone with the “I’m always right” attitude.. bleh
– Someone who is “high maintenance” .. bleh
– Someone who is too independent

What’s strange is that for me there’s something unattractive about perfection. The classic bombshell blond with the perfect body is not for me.. I prefer someone more down to earth and unique… carbon copy hollywood floosie FTL!

And yes, “curvy” is in the eye of the beholder.

@Allibaby808 Curvy should always be in. I cannot for the life of me figure out why some men are attracted to women the size of most models.

Most models have the curves of young boys, and I always felt those attracted to that type were suspect.
Curvy comes in many sizes, but my preference would be size 8–12.
I should also mention that my wife, who is the love of my life, isn’t redheaded, asian, funny, happy, smart, or a size 8–12.

@filmfann As long you’re happy with her, that’s all that matters :)

Long straight dark hair, tan. I like shorter girls, for some reason it just bothers me if a girl is taller than me… and I’m a big push over when it comes to a woman with big brown eyes, I swear, I could fall in love with just their eyes.

@ABoyNamedBoobs03
You should meet my sister….long dark hair down to her ass and she has dark-brown eyes.

On-A sincere bright smile, that is the eyes, lips and cheeks

Off- Immediate- Smoking. Can’t stand it. After getting to know a bit- Not being straightforward

Easy question. The eyes and smile. Blue or green preferred, but any color if the eyes are big.

Oops! Almost forgot. Being blonde is good, too!

Turn off? Wrinkled clothing.

@Quagmire I HATE wrinkled clothing. I thought I was the only crazy one!

I actually IRON!

I like women who are very feminine in appearance & behaviour. Physically my ideal woman would be around 5’2”-5’4”, slim with no more than a b’cup, straight blonde, mid-length hair, & blue eyes, & pale complexion.
Things that I find a turn-off…. a big chin, that plastic/fake look some woman who use too much make-up get, fake tans.
