Physical attraction or emotional connection: which is more important for you girls?

[Tarifa]

We all know that men are more visually inclined. We generally like the shape of a woman’s body, the way she walks, the way her hair falls over her face… I would say it takes us about 3 seconds to know if we like a particular woman, before we even meet her or say a word to her. I think it’s kind of obvious and most women are perfectly aware of this when we start flirting with them. That's obviously just the initial phase, after which physical attention will give way to other things as we get to know you.

I’ve read on several occasions that women need more than that. That attraction goes way beyond physical features. It’s like women first need to have an emotional connection with a man before attraction really kicks in. What are your thoughts on this?

Honestly I need a little bit of both but in varying degrees. So maybe more emotional attraction than physical cause sex wanes eventually but having someone who understands and supports me, puts my fears at rest and can truly love me is priceless

In the beginning I think it's the physical attraction, but switches to an emotional about the time a relationship begins where men seem to hang on to the physical attraction much longer before they realize other things are much more important.

Emotional. Can’t be attracted to someone physically if I’m not attracted to them emotionally.

Emotional connection. Easily a 95+% bias towards connection over physical attraction for me
