Is it true that boys are attracted more to physical appearance?

[curious_gul]

Do you like pretty girls, with perfect bodies... Or are you more attracted to her brain, her intelligence, her persona, kindness... Or when the body is a 10/10 you don't care much about the rest?

Since appearance is the easiest thing for people to notice, that does hold some weight, but what you do after he notices you is what will hold his interest. Focus on being the total person you feel is a good representation of the person you believe yourself to be.

Depending on the setting, different qualities may be valued. If you're working for NASA, your intelligence will draw people's attention. If you work in a hospital, your caring, considerate treatment of others will draw people's attention. If you're a professional athlete, your athletic ability will draw people's attention. Choose the setting that suits you best, and then enhance the qualities appreciated in that setting.

Will you continue to go to a fancy restaurant that has the prettiest tablecloths in town, yet the worst food?

Yeah, I'm definitely more attracted to physical appearance. I find that no amount of personality or intelligence can make up for a bad looking appearance to me. They have to pass the looks threshold/be in my tier of looks or above. Downgrading in that way would feel unnatural. Like I'm setting up potential offspring for failure with a downgrade in genes.

But that being said, I'm also not the type to just be with someone attractive if they annoy me or if they're a bad person. I'm more attracted to people that have a good mix of positive mind & body characteristics.

To put it into perspective, I'm a 6/10 at best. So a girl who is a 6/10 in looks with a great personality would be more attractive to me (longterm) than a girl who is an 8+/10 (which is actually a massive jump in attractiveness even though they're close in number) with a horrible personality.

For me it takes both , I see beautiful girls’ all over the place , for me to be interested in that beautiful girl , I have to feel her and I have good chemistry and connection together and that her and I see eye to eye on a lot of things , if not , then I won’t be interested in her , just because someone looks good on the outside it doesn’t mean they are good in the inside , so her personality and her morals is important as well

This depends on the dude. If it’s a guy just wanting to smash a girl or have a trophy to show everofne.


But if it’s a good guy. Then what’s on the inside matters most. There are grest women who also look good

[Lynx122]

Personally I care more about her personality and our compatibility but I feel like everything about dating for me is very different from the average person so I don't know. Visual attractiveness is great but I can separate that from deciding if this person is someone I want to spend time with. I can fantasize and masturbate to any woman I find on the internet. Of course it would be the best to have the most attractive woman who also is amazing to be in a relationship with but if I can only have 1 I'll chose the mental connection first.

Depends on the guy and his level of maturity. An immature guy will stay in a toxic relationship just because she is attractive. Attraction is important and needs to be there but shouldn't be the key factor. I'd take a 5/10 if i am attracted to her personality instead of a 10/10 with a meh personality

[BadApple69]

The body might be the first attractant. Face is a close second. Sometimes if she has a real pretty face it'll take the first spot. BUT... If she doesn't have a good personality and a reasonable intelligence things won't last long. I dated a stupid girl once (yes I'm being harsh) but it was so very painful.

[YAsQuen]

appearance is noticed first. Its what gets us interested or not. Then after that its all personality. In my case if she would be a good mother and homestead.

Its not a if hot enough will ignore personality thing. Both are essential but looks are what gets us to cross the room and actually go for it.( harder than u think)

Hot enough to wife are 3s and up depending on the man. Bear in mind that no fit women ever falls below a 3. And im talking about no make up here. Any 3 can make herself a 5 with make up and so on.

Now if we talk casual sex this all gets thrown out the window. Body is like 95 percent there. And the other 5% make sure i can bear her presence long enough to get my dick wet and dash.

Appearance is the first thing. I don't know what 10/10 is because it's subjective. But I have to like her face, body, mannerisms and general appearance.

Once we strike it up, though, and I get to know her, her personality, character, values and sexuality make all the difference in wanting her as a partner in a long-term, exclusive relationship.

[MittParekh15]

Attraction can be of various types, generally guys do get attracted to good looking girls

But for the long term one should think about compatibility, understanding, financial freedom, future goals etc

Looks are just one attribute which is Overhyped today and mosly relavent for short term goals.

I can at least assure you that not everyone thinks in terms of an "out of 10" system. me, I like girls that you "cute". in a picture they may not even look so pretty, but in person, there's just something about them. but yes, physical appearance is still essentially important to me.

[bededazzle]

let's say I met Emma Watson, who I had a huge crush on, and she made a comment about how I would never have sex with someone as beautiful as her again in my life. That may be true, but the comment might turn me off enough that I couldn't go through with it. Maybe.

[Flatmanlewis]

In a very simplified way: We’re attracted by the beauty. Whether we stay or not is up to her personality. There is more to it than that but that’s the nuts & bolts of it pretty quick.
