How much does a guy's body turn girls on?

usually when you ask a girl what turns her on in a man, she'll say confidence. sometimes they'll say smile or chest or something. But it seems like its all personality, because girls usually don't even care if their guy is a little chubby. SO...Girls, if a guy's body (not personality or face) does turn you on, how much? Is it like 30% body, 70% personality? Also, can you explain how a personality can turn you on at all in the first place? Guy's don't understand this. A good personality is important to a guy, but it in no way does a girl's personality turn a guy on. Those things are seperate, a guy only gets turned on (horny) by a girl's looks.

  • By the way, from what previous girl's have personally told me, they noticed me cause they thought I was cute/attractive/whatever, but they're sold once they get to know me. I know I can turn my girlfriend on with my looks but she basically attacks me when I'm romantic. From experience I'd assume it was about 40% looks 60% personality (I can't know for sure for girls... ) Er- her answer- parts of the body she's attracted to are shoulders, nice smile, my bright blue eyes (win! :P).. Her explanation for personality... She loves being able to tell how much I care about her, and it turns her on when a guys good to her... She wants to share sex with someone she loves and who loves her back- someone she can trust, count on, etc. LOL awesome- apparently when I make her laugh a lot and make her have a really good time she gets turned on... Cool lol, I learned something today! ^.^ Laughter is now my favorite medicine.

    Anyway, just wanted to answer from a guy's point of view. Didn't expect a girlfriend peering over my shoulder lol. By the way, I'm sure you've heard this, but it really helps to be a good listener (and have good responses...)

    **Course, the fact that I care about personality too (I havesorta high standards personality-wise- for a girl ill be with a while) might help...

  • Have you ever met a girl that is totally fine until she opens her mouth? We all know guys like that and that type of personality turns us off. Everyone has heard that most the time sex is mainly emotional for a girl and it's a lot about feelings and connections, not just f***ing. That is why a personality turns us on. A lot of times we relate sex to certain emotions and being the hormonal emotional things that we are, when a guys personality hits those emotions that we relate to sex we get turned on. You relate a picture of hot chics to sex right? So when you see that picture you get turned on. Same thing.

    It's hard to say a percentage. If we are looking for a one night stand I'd say it's about 98% looks and 2% personality. If it's someone you have been with for years and really care about (face it most people get too comfy and they get fat) it doesn't matter how they look because it's not so much looks and personality at this point, but more that you relate this person to sex so they trigger those sexual feelings. When you are first starting to date somebody though and don't really know them it depends a lot on personality because, like I said, it's the emotions that they trigger that you relate to sex.

    • Hmm...honestly I refuse to let my wife get fat. It's just the facts, emotions are in no way involved with sex in guys. I'll still love my wife when we're 40, but if she's fat, she simply won't turn me on and I won't want to have sex with her. That's just the way it is with guys. I thought it was interesting what you said about 'the emotions we trigger' I've never heard it like that before. I still don't understand how you can get turned on by a chubby guy..it seems like looks have no part.

    • Excuse me, I guess I should have said this too. Sometimes looks turn us on. And sometimes just looking at a man will make us want to sleep with him whether it's the first time or the thousandth time. The emotional triggers though... I was just explaining HOW personality could turn us on because guys don't understand it. We are into looks too though and a sexy man turns us on. When you got the looks and the personality... WOW.

    • Ok...thanks. so, which one turns you on more?? Or more often or whatever?

  • For me I love broad shoulders and a strong back. Also, I love my guys nose because he rubs it on my neck and chest and I love the way it feels.

    Girls are attracted to certain personalities in men because they are biologically programmed to find a man who can take care of her and any children she produces with him. This is why I love broad shoulders, they are a sign of strength. The personality part is we are looking for someone who is going to be good to us and not leave. I dated a guy who worked with disabled people and I loved going to his work and seeing him look after the people there because it showed he could really take care of me. Same with guys who help old ladies cross the street, I think most girls find this very sweet and are more attracted to guys who do this.

    Just to be clear though, I am not saying women need a man to take care of them. We just don't want to raise kids alone :P

  • If a guy is really really funny and nice, it makes him better looking if you get what I'm saying. There was this guy I fell for that was a little bigger but he had an adorable smile and amazing big brown eyes and he was so funny, so I fell for him. Of course don't get me wrong though, an extremely ugly guy will not turn us on whether he has a personality or not. He has to be at least somewhat good looking.

    • Thanks. So are you saying that you're totally turned on by his face and body, and a good personality will just help him look better?

    • Yea at first its the face and body and then if he has an amazing personality, I'm sold....

    • Just wanted to say, I'm a guy and disagree with the asker. I can honestly say I'm turned on by a girl's personality. But then I'm a guy whos had every girl I've dated fall in love with me because of my personality. I care :p it helps. Guess I like love. To the point- my girl is amazingly sweet and loving. She works hard to make me happy and I have no doubt she loves me, and it turns me on. Yea she can strip for me and I'm on her in a heartbeat, but for me both looks and personality matter :p

  • I think it depends on the situation and relationship. If it's just a hook up or something like that, then looks are much more important. If it's a relationship, then looks are just part of what attracts me to the guy. Personality is key, I think, when anyone, male or female, are looking for a relationship.

  • For me, the guy's looks will turn me on. That's it. If he's nice, bonus! But I will fall for guys that have amazing personalities even if they aren't hot. And the more you get to know a guy and his great personality, the hotter he seems to get. But a hot bod will turn me on right away. lol

    • What exactly is a hot body to you? Does he have to have a six pack and nice pecs? Or just a flat stomach, with no real muscle definition? You might wanna answer my latest question...

    • I'll answer your question instead... :)

  • I would agree about 70 - 30, I once was with a guy a bit on the chubby side but his confidence made him so attractive. That was the biggest turn on for me, he was borderline cocky which kept it interesting at the time but finding a balance is important. His general persona made me horny, a bit dangerous.

  • its 60% looks and 40 % personality but the percentage would change depending on how much I really truly like the guy

  • its because were women and emotion creatures the same way after we have sex we feel a stronger connection to a man that the man does back to the woman. You see we are way more simple than you choose to believe make us smile and show us you care, all the little things that take 2 in to do, and were TOTALLY turned on and will lay in bed thinking about your last name behind our name and lame shit like that. I get turned on by how he holds me and makes me feel petite. I find the trippie part is were the only mamal in the animal kingdom were the female is more attractive than the man. In animals the males are usually more flashy to attract mates. But in our world us women are attracted to who you are.

    • That is why douches who play with women's emotions get laid more, yeah right women are sooo simple

  • so your saying , if the girl was shy, and insecure , or a bitch, you would still be turned on by her?

    a personality makes a man seductive and desirable

    if he is a complete douche bag, but has a nice body, he's got no chance other then random hookups,

    • - of course I would still get turned on by her. like I said, its the body for guys. a sucky personality would make me not wanna date her, but of course if she's physically hot, she would still make me horny. From your last comment, it sounds like that's the same for girls. I can understand you being more attracted to a guy with a nice personality, but how can the good personality actually make you horny?

  • its probably 50/50 for me, I don't really notice a guy unless he has a good body. however my idea of a good body is 6'2" and above and not fat or chubby but heavier set with nice muscles. I lOVE guys butts I stare at them all the time haha. and shoulders. skinny guys are a TOTAL turn off.

    i don't get it either, personality does NOT turn me on lol.

  • if its a 1 night stand, its probably like 95% looks, 5% personality. if I plan on actually DATING that person, its like 75% personality 25% looks

  • 70% personality 30% looks.

    i can't in all seriousness think that a guy is good looking if he is a bastard!

    i think that ugliness on the inside definitely shows on the outside.

  • Body is probally 40% and 60% personality.. bodies get old and nasty personalites are for life : ]]

    • They don't always get nasty with age.

  • i would say 70-80% personality and 20-30% looks.

    Personality is a plus because we sometimes like to see a guys sensitive side to show that he has one, is caring, and compassionate. Another plus that my friends and I like is if our guy is close to his family. Especially his parents.

    As for looks, in my personal opinion, I like how guys arms/hands are and the other thing I look at is their facial features. (hair, eyes, smile).

    hope that helps ^^

  • Okay, so I had a boyfriend who had a GREAT body. He was muscular in all the right places, he had pecs and huuuuge muscles (yes I looooove this) And I loved the way he looked. But he was as dull as dish water. Personality is important because girls want someone to talk to, laugh with, banter with, they want a guy with talents and actually has something to OFFER beyond physical appearance.
