Appearance is important to me. But, I don't like "pretty boys".If I had my pick, I would choose a guy with average looks, taller than me (for sure) - more of an easy-going casual dress - but definitely clean, definitely considerate, and attention to details like finger & toe nails, teeth, body-weight and odor. These things mixed with inner beauty like: intelligence mixed with humanitarian values, hobbies, strength of character... that would win me over, in spite of myself. IP: Logged |

To a certain extent I care how a guy looks, but then again I have a type of look that I go for more than others, I don't care for pretty boy type. I actually prefer my guys on the husky/stocky side and taller than me...and tattoos and piercings are a plus, they are such a turn on for me  but throw in some great self esteem and interesting personality and it's doesn't matter so much with appearance.IP: Logged |

Strange thing about me,I find "Attractive" men unattractive.I will admit they are good looking by societies standards,but never really felt drawn to a Brad Pitt looking guy.
I don't even like a really buff guy with huge muscles.A youthful look has always been somewhat important to me though...I think a lot of pre-determined attractiveness by societies standards makes the person seem less human to me.A kind heart is the most attractive thing a guy could have to me.One that can truly let down the macho man persona and really feel intimate moments,and talk about their feelings.Love can make a guy who is a 6,a 10 in my eyes.

Aha! So this is where all the cool people hang out! lol ... If I may tell you what attracts me to a man...brains, and personality...a kind soul...I have never married nor dated a man on looks...a few i didn't even see as good looking til AFTER I got to know them...a sense of humor too! I like a bit of the rugged side, not too sweet and innocent....I was not physically attracted to my bf physically, but he won me over with his personality and brains...and he opens and closes my doors for me...I mean, come on...I LOVE a gentleman! btw...he is very nice looking...inside and out...

Nah. I like a scruffy look in a man...I don't find perfection or too much attention to detail sexy in a man at all!
I like a certain look to the face, a certain smile, something in the eyes, that shows a little bit of not just intelligence but common sense and respect.IP: Logged |

Teeth!
Don't care if he has them or not!
However......
No stinking breath or green/black teeth.
Badly shaped, broken, missing, or whatever is OK.
But not gross raunch mouth............................

I'm a far cry from a pretty boy. I pull off a scruffy ruggedness that looks natural but requires more work than you might think.  ------------------

Pretty Boys:Edward Cullen
Daniel Radcliffe
Shia LeBouf
Brad Pitt
Tom Cruise They all share the quality of making me sigh...in EXASPERATION at the craziness they cause among women  They only end up turning me off. I don't like those made-up guys with those artificial salon looks but then I don't wear makeup myself, don't need to I like my men edgy, brainy, intellectual and refined, confident but not cocky with mountainloads of intensity  And for the love of God!! Please don't show-off or be rude and treat people like scum or try on some pretense...I SEE through you

Daniel looks like a hobbit
Rob makes me queasy. In a bad way.
I wouldn't call them pretty boys. Brad's alright looking, tom cruise used to be really good looking when he was younger. Shia ain't a pretty boy. Pretty boy pertains to delicate features, and usually have good grooming lol. It does come down to personality. If they aren't witty and intelligent in a certain way, I don't care how hot they are.

A deal breaker is stinky breathe, I don't care how hot a guy is, if he's got a funk coming out of his mouth when he talks, its a turn off. IP: Logged |

Following on that, I'd point out that the category "women" is extremely diverse. A guy who totally turns on Woman A might leave Woman B cold. I find Rahm Emanuel bizarrely attractive. Like, really attractive. I just think the sex would be amazing. However, my mom thinks he looks like a creep. IP: Logged |

When I first met my ex I was not attracted to him at all. Not that he was ugly, just that my first thought looking at him was not - damn, he is hot. I thought he had a nice smile and there was something familiar about his eyes but, I never thought he was cute.But as time went by and I got to know him better suddenly, he started looking beter and better. And by the time we started dating, he looked hot! And I was attracted to him in every way possible. Thats how it has been for me with most of the guys I've dated. Personality goes a long ways and if I love that part of them, it all looks good. ------------------

No time to read the article, but I wanted to respond to the question on the topic line.
We DO care about looks! Very much so!!
I am so tired of hearing all this bull about how women would marry anyone with a thick wallet even though he looks like a roadkill.
Speaking for myself, there needs to be some physical attraction definitely if things are ever going to progress to romantic! One of my best relationships was with a Leo man who was about 10yrs older than me and didn't really look very handsome to me when I first met him (I don't do beer bellies lol). But he was a rare exception in that we grew close; our personalities matched and felt that he really "got" me. Sex was fantastic although the age difference meant the drives were not on a par. So I say looks DO count but it's not everything. And I bet that most men think this way too. Enough with the sexism!

This is pretty much what I was going to say on the topic Malena! Everyone has a different "type" that strikes their fancy so what looks good to you might look doggish to someone else. I mean, is there any actor that is so universally handsome that everyone agrees on it? No, not really. For myself, well yeah, looks matter. But it is a look that I like, it might not be right for anyone else. It might even be considered unattractive to someone else but hey, I like what I like... Do I consider personality over looks when I first spot a man? Not really. I am being honest here. I don't know what a man is like until I talk to him so I can't say "what stood out to me the most was his great personality" - No, what I say is "What stood out to me? Well his gorgeous green eyes!". The personality and brains must come with the package though, I am not looking for a trophy husband who can only offer his handsomeness! I am not the type to grow to love a guy friend either. If he doesn't knock me out in the beginning then he never will. I guess that is where astrology comes in though. I have Venus conjunct the DC at an orb of <1 degree and Adonis conjunct Venus, orb 1...He has to be a looker... IP: Logged |
