Are women as visual as men are? Or do they desire personality more than looks?

This article is bang on. And it stems from evolution.

Right back from Nomad days, the tribe worked this way. And it is cross-cultural.

The men are the hunter-gatherers. And the warriors that protect the tribe. The Alpha-males within the tribe would usually be the most successful in hunting, and more likely to survive and combat.

The females would want his genes, to produce offspring that would espouse similar traits.

And the females would compete with each other to get the best mate they could.

Alpha males and attractive females would produce lots of offspring, and the lower echelons of both sexes would produce less. So this helped the tribe produce the best generations they could possibly get.

These simple and basic primal drivers are still very much a part of us today, and we use them drivers to navigate this complex world into the decisions we make. For the same end goal, to produce the best possible offspring we can possibly get.

Though with a bloated welfare state, and financial incentives from govt to have children while unemployed, is causing us immense damage in that regard, from a societal point of view.

Depends if your going by biology or going by the progressive world we live in now were people are opinionated and changing from there biological ways. I am sure it's still biological leaning the numbers if you were to do a survey so this article would be correct. But Time goes on and i am pretty assure they numbers for the other side will raise. I bet today there is way more women that are into not masculine men than there was in the past still not the majority of women but defo more. Just like how i bet there is more Gay people today than there was in the past. people can lean away from there nature. So i would say it's really subjective to an individual.
You would be right if you say majority of girls do. Just like how majority of people ain't gay but the numbers rise quite a bit recent years and can happen to pretty much anyone when growing up.

I love looking at a hot guy. But it takes a lot more than looks to make me swoon. I’m not going to speak for any other chick, but it’s the whole package that matters.

Women are rather not visual. They are interested in features of the man that:
- they can exploit: money, power, authority, being hard-working (that is why they are interested in man wearing a suit, a uniform or a work clothes);
- being a gentleman, so that you will put her on pedestal, open the door, hold the seat for her and thus be like a servant and treat her like a queen;
- be courageous and strong, so that you will be like her bodyguard, fight with other men for her and finally die for her.
- be useful/strong - help her to move heavy objects, do repairs for her, so that she does not need to call some service.

That is why men are screwed.

Lol no, they aren't. Not even close.
Why don't girls look at hot shirtless guys when they are out running for exercise?

Men are proven to be more visual then women but I do wonder of it's taught with women highlighting there looks with makeup and being told to compliment girls all the time.

I'm sure lots of women are very visual, but not nearly as much as men.

Men are bigger consumers of porn than women and the porn industry caters almost exclusively to men because they know that's who their customers are. This is ample evidence men are more visually stimulated than women.

Not to say women aren't visually stimulated, just that men are more visually stimulated then women.

Yes, it's true. Most of the things at that site are true about female behavior.
