Physical Attractiveness -- Face or Body?

[Anonymous]

I'm a woman but in a guy - intellect, sense of humor are the most important thing. Well at least beyond the first night.

Most people will say face, but it's body for basically everyone. Being out of shape completely alters your neck and face and shoulders and posture and your overall vibe. I have seen many people with "cute" faces that didn't look so cute after putting on 40 pounds.

Barring a serious facial deformity, someone who is in great shape will always be considered attractive. It is a fallacy to believe that facial attractiveness is a separate thing from your overall health and physique.

That saying, "She has such a pretty face." Sort of implies her face is pretty but she is fat.

I don't get the attractiveness of the Keira Knightly figures, though. I just saw her in a movie again, and she has no breasts. Her teeth are not great, and she looks like she has an underbite. Her hair is fine, thin, scraggly looking.

The "all men are obsessed with big breasts" thing is way overblown in pop culture. She's attractive in an elegant waif sort of way.

Let me put it this way: being in good shape will overcome a "plain" face. A pretty face cannot overcome being more than slightly out-of-shape.

65 face/35 body - If a guy has a perfect body, but his face is a 4, I'm not interested. If a guy has a stunning face but an extra 40 lbs, I'd still date/seriously consider him for longterm.

It's all about the hands for me. You can tell so much about someone by their hands. So hands 90% and eyes 10%.

No amount of skinny can fix a horse face or sagging cheeks. I say face first, then body, although hugely fat is not attractive. Overweight is fine.

Woman here, clean smell, full lips, sense of humor are more important to me than looks or body type.

Weird, me too. I gravitate towards hands and eyes. Wide ranges of men I find attractive.

Woman. Body 30 Face 70.

With that being said, I might have a one night stand with a guy with a hot body but I dont consider them long term relationship material. I want my kids to be attractive, and I could never be with a fatty, but anyone can have a good body if they exercise and eat right. I want someone with good bone structure to give to my kids.

Same exact with me. Good way of putting it.

LOL what in the fuck? Kiera Knightley is absurdly beautiful. If you can't understand that then your barometer is broken.

We have been married for twenty years. Totally hot in the face. The body has changed but I still love to bang it out three plus times a week.

I love that we are still hot for each other. We have date nights and we love to laugh. I think I am lucky that we both come from intact families.

We get each other. We rarely fight. We both were brought up middle class but we worked our asses off to get where we are now. I feel blessed and I am a happy person when I was broke or where am at today.

I've always thought she's beautiful even though I agree with you on her specific features. Uniquely more than the sum of her parts is the only way I can express it.
