What attracts men to women?

Honestly, I'm not sure there's any rhyme or reason to it.

Sure there is: looks, personality, then other stuff. If a woman wants more dating options, she should lose the fat, look hot, be fun, and not assume bragging about her Mensa membership helps sell herself.

I like smart women. Dumb ones are boring and get even more boring over time. Who wants to talk to a wall?

What does this mean? What "type" of man posts on DCUM? I am a single father and read the posts in a number of different areas (e.g., threads regarding schools, etc.)

State what you mean by this clearly (i.e., please grow a pair of balls and come out say what type of men post on this website).

I don't mean it in a bad way necessarily. I'm just guessing that a man married to a high-powered woman ALSO has a busy, high-powered job and is too busy to be posting on parenting messaging boards during the day. Especially not about topics like women's hotness.....

They’re pretty enough. It’s not he who dies with the prettiest woman wins. Plus they said yes and showed up. Showing up is 90% of success, and if you’re too busy to, you don’t count.

Tell that to OP of the other thread who is trying to cut off a guy who won’t give her the time of day. She is showing up for him and is getting the slow it down we are evolving line.

She must be at a bad spot on the hot/crazy chart. Bring enough grief to the table, and the guy's gonna bolt.

You’re insinuating she must be crazy or did something wrong?

What other thread?

This is DC. Smart women are pretty common.

I know, that's why I like it here!

What is considered beautiful is often an indicator of youth and fertility.

For example, curves, firm and non-droopy breast, small waist, rounded hips - signify both youth and fertility- and are considered beautiful.

Similarly, great healthy hair, smooth skin, great teeth and smile are considered beautiful but are also an indicator of good health.

For a heterosexual man, there may be no greater topic to post on than a topic related to "women's hotness". If a hot woman is involved, I will generally make time.

Please note that it is heterosexual men that the OP was soliciting input from in the original post (see the subject line: "What attracts men to women?")

Maybe in the men in your life (or your SO, specifically) are not interested in hot women. I think you are hiding what you really meant since I called you on it. At least have the guts (which you have yet to show) to come out and say what you hint at (i.e., what you do not mean in a bad way.)

Your post shows your lack of knowledge of how men who want to meet women think. If an area (e.g., this board) is frequented mainly by heterosexual women, and you are a man interested in this type of women, you would seek contact with them in that area. This is even truer when it is likely there are more women than men in the target area.

Man here, what attracts me is beauty which is somewhat subjective. And really only beauty. What makes me stay is common interest, fun, and of course great sexual chemistry.

I don't care about sexual numbers. I am sure some guys do, as some women do too. I have had my fun, and am not threatened if she has as well.

Beauty is subjective. I find a girl next door cute far more beautiful than the done up model look. Kristen Bell is far hotter to me than for example Melania Trump.

Um. 1) you're going on dcum to meet women? 2) I doubt a lawyer, doctor, senior business executive is devoting time to writing a detailed post on an internet forum about women's hotness, the way you just did..... I think the responses we're getting on this thread are from a certain type of man looking for a certain type of woman.

I know, right.. especially since so many men don't even want to take care of their children.
