I know it's personality that counts and I would never change how I looked to please someone else, but what type of girl would guys find more attractive to look at? Do they find that the girls who are sexy and wear make-up, who tend to have longer hair or extensions better looking... or the girls who are naurally pretty and dont wear much make-up? Or does it just depend on the guy?I am wondering this because it's all you see in music videos and thing on tv nowadays, all the girls are skinny, tanned, wear make-up and look 'sexy' they are probably nice how they are naturally, but its unusual to see girls in videos without make-up... Is this because it appeals to men more, girls that wear lots of make-up and who look sexy? Reply to this Question

reader, anonymous, writes (18 May 2011): Hello. Well this is a broad question. For me as a male, of 17, I find girls who are naturally pretty attractive. If a girl wears too much makeup it is a real problem for me. I have never had a one night stand and don't ever feel like I will be wanting to. I prefer relationships, and for me if a girl doesn't wear much make up and is conventionally nice and pretty she is relationship material. The girls who wear too much make up are too fake for me, but some guys are just in relationships at my age for sex and fake girls make themselves sex objects. MTV puts girls with very flat stomachs, big boobs and well placed make up in music videos because sex sells. But for most guys, personality comes first, then comes facial looks, then after that it comes down to your body. If you personally are comfortable with your body, unless very overweight, most guys will accept what you have and are. Don't change yourself, there are men who will like you as you look right now. :)

Long, shiny hair, a lean body, and at least a little bit of a tan are fairly universally attractive things in a girl.
The makeup thing is a matter of personal preference, but you're more likely to overdo it than you are to underdo it.
People on television wear lots of makeup because it's television. That has nothing to do with real life.

Obviously the clothes woman wear indicate how well she looks after her self and her tastes. If she is artie shes likely to look like a hippie, if shes high maintenance probably designer clothes that look like crap on her and lots of make up etc.
Looks are important to a guy being visual but just to let you in on a little guy secret...the face is kinda irrelevant when guys are just out for sex - it really doesnt matter - any body shape / size is probably ok. The looks come back in when impressing your mates, obviously you want the best looking girl you can find to impress your friends. but seriously its all about personality and interests if you want a long lasting relationship - girls all age and thier looks fad but personality lives on....

 That's like wondering which piece of chocolate is best from a box of chocolate. They are all great. Shape is like the third or fourth thing most of us look at. Eyes, smile,hair, laugh. Those to me rate highest, then body. Some of the more shallow types go for body first thouh so I see your dilema.

I find modesty and shyness quite attractive. And no, the women in the adverts are totally not our ideogical woman, its a total myth! I like curves and softness, a nice smile, but not the heavy make up and fake hair. I don't have a specific type, I fall for who the girl is to be honest, and what we have in common. But yeah, it's a cliche, and no matter what the truth is you'll always be bothered about your appearance. To me, super skininess and fake tan just isn't hot

 Depends on what a guy wants. If he just wants a fling, the sluttier she looks/is, the better. Too much makeup, hair extensions, and revealing clothes would tend to indicate an easier lay. If he's looking to actually date the girl, natural-looking is the way to go. A man would prefer someone with natural beauty and a bit of modesty concealing a wild side, *if* he wants to see her long-term.
Don't get hung up on TV's ideas of looks. There are complicating factors. For one thing, music videos and advertisements need to get people's attention fast. Slutty-looking women get attention faster, from men and from women.
So dress and act according to the type of attention you want.

 Yeah I totally agree from word to word with cerebrus and am sure millions of other men would also do. Go with it... He is absolutely on the spot. I would had said the same thing........ Just like to add a bit more to it -- the more femine traits she shows the more attractive it is to me. Shy enough to make the first move but also confident enough to blow our mind with her talks and mysterious smile when we do approach. Soft nature with tender and gracious moves and body which is as smooth as silk. Guys are much more visual creature than women. Thats why women put on make up. They know this is our weakness so they exploit it well. Women are much more emotional. That's why men have mastered the art of flirting to Stir their emotions instead of putting on MAKE Up.But guys and girls are smart enough to know the difference between FAKE and REAL. So the bottom line is--Everthing which comes naturally to you is attractive to us. And everthing above that is a big turn off.

The things we find most attractive in a woman is the things she can't change. Face, eyes and personality, everything else is just relative. Besides, women only dress that way and wear that much makeup and fake tan to impress other women. We guys couldn't really give a crap about that stuff, although some do.

All guys are different we all have different tastes and preferences but they're rarely set in stone. We like women in all shapes, sizes ans believe it or not most of us prefer girls who don't wear that much make up nor dresses in skimpy outfits all the time. We like a girls natural skin tone, we pretty much don't like foundation and concealer, and just don't understand the whole deal with fake tan. It looks awful and stains everything.
No, girls that wear lots of make up most of the time look insecure and trashy to us. Fair enough if the girl is going to a formal occasion or performing on stage or something that's fine, but if a girl won't even leave the house without full make up on then that's not good.
For most of us less is definitely more, we want to see your beautiful face, not some painted on horror show mask. The best makeup is the kind we don't even realize you're wearing.
As for skinny, as long as it's healthy that's fine but it's not a requirement at all. Of course a thin healthy woman has an nice body that will appeal to us aesthetically, just as a guy with a firm, toned physique would appeal to women in the same context. That's not the only form of beauty we like. We love all body shapes, but as a general rule healthy and natural equals sexy. Most women aren't naturally skinny, they're just not built that way, they have wide hips, and a little extra weight, that's just as sexy to us and depending on the girl and what she's like as a person we can't be blown away by her looks, no matter what shape she is.

 This sort of question is pretty stupid, no offense, but really? You will get all kinds of different answers so what's the point? There is some guy out there who totally loves your hair, your body, and your personality. Instead of wasting time with this stuff why not go out there and find him?
