Which is more important: a pretty face or a nice body?

Question

MrOracle · Accepted Answer

Honestly different people will have different priorities. I suspect Face will win the poll but it probably won't be a blowout.

Studies have found that the top 3 physical things that men find a turn off in women are being significantly overweight, cosmetic procedures (lip fillers, fake boobs, cheek implants, face lifts, etc.), and, "body modifications" like tattoos, body piercings, gauges, and so on, in that order. All things that women can control.

Obviously there are men who are exceptions to each of these, but it's a much smaller pool of men, which means that any of these issues would make finding a match significantly more difficult and she would likely have to make more compromises.

Men are less picky than most women believe, but they are generally attracted to youth (fertility), health (reasonably fit), and being all-natural.

For me it’s mainly her eyes and face , if she has beautiful eyes , I will be all about her , yes her body is important to , but she doesn’t have to have a model body but she has to be my type for me to be interested in her , but what really matters to me , is her personality and the way she presents herself as a person , if she has good moral values , by being honest and trusting and loyal , and has a good sense of humor and is respectful and polite , then I will be all about her. I see beautiful girls’ all the time , but if her personality sucks , I will want nothing to do with her , I don’t care how hot she looks , if she is a bitch she is a bitch and someone else can gladly have her

I think face first then body

Both are deciding factors but humans are hardwired to be drawn to faces. It's why we tend to see faces in inanimate objects... Good example "the man in the moon" it's a

pareidolic image... We see a face because we are hardwired to do so

Pretty face. You can work for a nice body at the gym if you don't naturally have one, but fixing a butter face is a little harder unless you go the plastic surgery route... And even then the results might not be what you expected.

Firesparks · Answer

The question in itself is shallow @ best ! ... looks can change which also includes the body... the person that has great looks n body could be a great person or they could have std's n not tell you... n using their looks n body n pass on something that Ajax won't wash off... so neither looks nor body is something to look for n yes it's important to take care of your body n eating right... so the real question is do you really want to be that shallow towards another? Cause all it does is make you look ugly on the inside n others can see it

MrChinaski · Answer

Raw physical beauty is a threshold issue for me. I need to be able to see myself enjoying waking up next to this person, ideally for the rest of my life.

Frankly, that includes a large majority of women that are not fat, sedentary and lazy... those are life choices that you have made and are not about raw beauty.

But 99% of what I am going to get out of a relationship is going to be a result of what we both invest in it. A degree of shared values, a sense of humour, openness to new ideas and new experiences, a willingness to tell me when and why I am wrong, a sense of themselves and their place in the world, sufficiently stable emotions that we don't spend our time together fighting over nothing but not so stable that we can't share passion, an interest in art and culture, etc. etc.

So, yes, looks are relevant. But they aren't the main game.

Anonymous · Answer

Both are interconnected...

If she has pretty face, I'll be interested in looking at her body.
If she doesn't have pretty face, I don't care what kind of body she has, or what she wears, there is no way she can attract me.
If I see her body first, and if it's something I don't like (e. g fat), I don't care what kind of face she has, I won't even look.

The face is slightly more important, because she can work on the body in the gym.

It's not easy to make her face beautiful - if it's not naturally pretty, no makeup can change that... only plastic surgery, however, that's not natural.

As for the Personality - If the girl is really hot, I'll try to adapt to her personality.
If she is not hot (but has good personality) - we can be friends only.

JazzieJanna · Answer

How about the personality and how your heart is? Stop going off about the body etc because at the end of the day everyone body changes everyone faces changed we will soon get old and wrinkly and have white hair like a grandma when we grow old. But yet the heart doesn't change.

Nikki1989 · Answer

Both rate pretty low. If personality is a 10 on the list of priorities, face, and body are more like a 2.

HawkPerception · Answer

Face is most important. It doesn't matter how attractive the body is if their face is unattractive. And body is always something someone can work on.

However, an attractive, non-obese body is also a must (for me).

ohsheeT · Answer

For me it's more about who they are on the inside how smart they are how wise they are if they have confidence if they are happy. I mean it's always nice to have one or the other that you asked but both or either one is just an added bonus

alice55 · Answer

I guess I will tend to say body but only for the height part after that would be face I don't really mind the weight so long as he's not obese, but I won't' date a shorts or ugly guy

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Nice personality!! The other two WOULD be nice but are superficial. At some point, her body and face might go but, she's not completely likely to lose her personality.

DJB72 · Answer

A strong character is more important than either.  Looks and body can be taken in a heartbeat - take it from an amputee with a friend who had to have his face rebuilt after a motorcycle crash

red-lipstick-girl · Answer

I have a beautiful face and a beautiful body, sometimes I can be overweight but I give it away, beauty is not like that but otherwise it doesn't exist.

Unap0logetic_ · Answer

In my honest opinion, neither. It’s all about their personality.. Looks fade and in today’s world, you can have surgery to repair the other two.. You can’t have surgery to fix your soul.

Pretty face. Much more likely to get you a serious relationship than a nice body.

Someone34 · Answer

I think a balance, this is also the most usual. Very seldom do you see an utter obese person with a pretty face or vice versa.

katiesmuff · Answer

Both or either are nice to have, but a good heart, attitude and compassion will top anything else.

loveslongnails · Answer

You can always change the shape and look of your body, but not so much with your face. A pretty face is killer.

An intelligent brain is more important than a pretty face or a nice body.

RavVid · Answer

Being against a good body is more exciting. There is always make up for the face.

Titanic1912 · Answer

I love a pretty face. Just as long as the girl has a pretty face, I could care less what her body is like.

Anonymous · Answer

D - a beautiful personality, good character and values, a great sense of humor, and a lack of today's ubiquitous female sense of self-importance and entitlement.

foxsquirrell · Answer

I'm afraid an unattractive face ruins everything! Whereas a beautiful face makes up for an overweight or underweight body. That is the harsh reality.

NYlatefun · Answer

I love a hot body as anyone else, but without a nice face, it’s not as interesting, where as an average body with a beautiful face is super attractive.

Alex-Snow · Answer

Why can't I have both... but I do like a pretty face

soe11 · Answer

I choose both at the same time and both are equally important for me.

WhtLceBRALvr111 · Answer

In search of a mate having a 'pretty' face is a plus, seeing her Eyes & 'Smile' is more important to me also 'skinny' fit body is also important.

Butterface! If we’re talking strictly about looks.
