Hello, I just have a quick question, sorry if it sounds ignorant. I have tried to figure this out, but I have failed. What makes a guy physically attractive? I know that it's really the personality and all, but being attractive doesn't hurt, so I was just wondering what attributes a 'hot' guy would have. Thanks!

For me the perfect guy would be tan not a fake bake but looks as if he is outside alot, also i love toned bodies not overly muscular but abs would definetly not hurt i LOVE them lol. for hair i would say relaxed hair thats not overly short but not down to their neck. Not many guys can pull off side burns so i wouldnt try it just dont let ur hair look shaggy keep looking well kept. for the age wear t shirts, if ur toned it will give u a great look specialy if u wear hollister. dark red is always a hit on any man i think :) eyes are another great aspect contants are always better than glasses. just remeber, if u act confident about yourself girls love it just be yourself

From my point of view,I like short hair on a guy. I don't like mop tops, ponytails cornrows, braids or the "Billy Ray Cyrus" cuts. It can be curly, straight or wavy. It can but it's not necessary for it to be styled with gel, mousse or water. Right now I've got the biggest crush on a guy that cuts it short. His is wavy and as far as I've noticed he doesn't use any hair products. He doesn't have sideburns. I don't care for long side-burns. It should be clean, so make sure you wash it every day. So if a girl should want to run her fingers through it, she won't feel grossed out with what she feels.

grobanite agony auntThis is different for everyone.

Personally, I like guys with a little extra meat on their bones. Not too much, just not the skinny or muscle-toned guys that seem so glamorous to everyone else. And facial hair-when taken care of-is incredibly attractive. Sideburns too.

I also really like glasses on guys.

But personality counts for a lot more. I could fall in love with just about any guy as long as he and I clicked.

From my perspective looks don't matter. it's the personality. But, if you really have to know. his eyes, and hair.

What makes a man attractive to me is first and foremost that he likes and wants ME! Next on the list is if he has a great voice that melts me when I hear it. Also, an attractive quality is quiet intelligence; being extremely smart, but never boastful, or a showoff. He can be somewhat shy, but still have a confident way about him. He should be warm, thoughtful, and a total gentleman that treats everyone with kindness and respect. If he has dreamy, brown eyes, and when I catch him glancing at me, he smiles this, “makes me weak at the knees” smile, I’m hooked!

I know you asked about physical attractiveness. But if the guy has all of the above mentioned attributes, that in it self, makes him gorgeous to me. It doesn’t matter if he’s 6’2 or 5’6 tall, if he has brown, blonde, curly or straight hair. I do have to admit, wide shoulders, nice legs, calves and great behind don’t hurt. If he’s got an Adam’s apple I can fantasize nibbling on, that’s the cherry on top!

Remember girls are a little different than guys, in that they like a guy for his personality first and if he’s got a great body that’s gravy. So don’t worry too much about whether the girls notice if you have great Pecs or not. It’s how you treat them that counts. Hope this helps and good luck to you!

xxbecksyxx agony auntMy personal preference is, apart from personality, eyes and hair. I like dark eyes, for example, brown, or dark blue or even green.

I like blonde hair, or light brown.

But this differs from woman to woman.

I would say, good skin, a nice smell, a sense of humour, confidence and good morals are the best things to have.

Eyes are the windows to a man's soul.I have always loved Honey brown eyes and tasty looking lips.A killer smile.Little Mannerisms that guys don't seem to know that they have.If they wear a full sleeved shirt some guys try to adjust it by bringing their hands out in the front and then pull their hands back.On the right guy its mind blowing.

I have always liked men in formal wear.Striped shirts are all I gift my husband.Spectacles is a huge turn on for me being a geek myself.

I think they would have to have longish curly hair which they often straighten, wear glasses, a baseball cap, brown eyes, slightly overweight and have a fondness for black clothes, a bit spotty doesn't go amiss.

A sexy voice always helps... I like unnaturally high-pitched, whiny multinational accents with emphasis on received pronunciation.

But then, it is all down to personal preference.

As a girl I'll tell you that besides personality, I find cleanliness attractive. I hate dirty finger nails and BO to the max. I personally feel that I couldn't be with someone who didn't respect themselves enough to regularly shower or bath. Now that's my opinion as a clean person. However, if she's skipping over the floss every few days then she might not mind. I on the other hand and a lot of my friends just don't like smelly boys. Now that again is just my opinion.

A female reader, aunty_rach United Kingdom +, writes (16 November 2008):

well this is abit of a tough question, because every person has their own ideas of what is attractive. my idea of an attractive guy is the surfer look. so blonde hair, bit of a tan and a rather nice toned body.

but i also like guys with amazing eyes and a great smile and nice teeth.

Symmetry.

And you are supposed to have your feature all in proportion to a ratio of 1:1.618 or something similar.

Plus clear skin and acceptable looking teeth.

Hair doesn't hurt but that is down to preference.

As for everything else it is down to personal choice.

Good Luck!! xx

A female reader, Teacake United States +, writes (16 November 2008):

Teacake agony auntConfidence is always attractive to a woman. Some girls are attracted to shy boys with a lot of problems because they want to help them. But confidence and helathy self esteem, is always attractive.

Male or female, no matter how attractive you are, neediness is always a turn off. If you can laugh with people, they will always think your attractive. A good character is also attractive. There is a lot more to being attractive than good looks.

My ex is very good looking to me and I'm amazed women turn him down all the time, but he has become so negative, always trying to pick up on women and drinks too much these days, so regardless how good looking he is, he never gets the girl... ha ha on him! I'm sure you are a very sweet fellow and don't abuse women, and that is the most unattractive trait of all next to being a user.

So, don't worry about physical looks, because it has everything to do with the sort of man you are. Good self esteem, good sense of humor, and you treat women with kindness. Just don't be a door mat about it. hope that helps.
