I suspect instinct is involved.

o.o Straight up? Men aren't attractive. Women just say it to make us feel better- But the wise know it's all lies; As for women it's impossible to tell the truth. Ever see a man tell another man that they're beautiful? Case and point.

*Shot*

Are you telling me you can't find beauty in a man?

Nah I'm just being scathingly fecious, ironic, and sarcastic. :3

The Mighty Penis? :p

Personally, I notice a guy's attitude first. If his attitude and personality dont click with me, I usually dont look into him further than that because he's a turn off.

But if you're talking about looks, I usually notice the eyes first. Of course because if a guy's talking to you, you'd expect him to look into your eyes to make contact.

I think your askin the wrong crowd, for there be no ladies here X3

Most women take better care of their bodies and appearance. How many men do you know that wear make-up to accent their faces, or have great hair, or a nice physeke? The way I see it men can look beautiful too, but from what I see they dont typically make use of there available options. if they do, theyre called gay D=

Some men wear make-up. They're called fools, jesters, jongleurs, etc. ^_^

I personally find makeup a bit of a turnoff. I can't read their features and get a good impression if its all hidden under makeup.

Yeah, I couldnt agree more, but in cases where its an improvement, its just another thing that men dont do. Im sure in some instanses they could benefit from it.

Its cos we have TEH CAWK!!!!

I think I heard someone say women like men wth 'bishie' features, except during ovulation, when they prefer more masculine features.

I heard that too, actually... Something along the lines of Bish --> Feminine --> Caring, supportive, empathic, etc. I.e. the one you want to actually live with. But when it's time to get preggers, it's all about the uber-macho jock-types.

I forget exactly what kind of evidence they had to back this up, though. :/

In the end, there isn't really any one feature in men that attracts all women. It all boils down to individual preference. I think this can be said for both genders.

I like my boy's butt *gropes*
The female form is easy to find beauty in, and I admit I don't find nude male photography as appealing as the female counterpart but I can look at my boy and murr quite happily =)
Maybe it's just because men have less 'softness' to them.. or that they have odd hips.. but I like the casual confidence or aura of a man who knows he looks good without being stuck up about it.

>_>
<_<

It's cuz we blos stuff up, and all the sexy women are pyros.

I dont think I look ugly, but Im not exactly a model. Just somewhere in the middle. Anyway, women who aren't shallow can look past your face as long as you have a great personality and shag like Adonnis :D

The way women are often considered "beautiful" or "sexy" is so often a big made-up crock of shit (decided by pre-victorian men many years back) it blows my mind. Of course men are beautiful and are considered beautiful... look at Michelangelo's David. Men just don't try to look beautiful or want to much of the time in our society.. it isn't "right", and women have been told to like qualities in men that arent beautiful at all but are abstractions based on pragmatic concerns and men's whim because of their power. When women are given freedom, they often like gay porn, which makes perfect logical sense. The act men have to put on and are trained to put on is so much horseshit it has people out of touch with reality.

It's all so screwed up. Black is white and white is black. This is a hard question to answer in simple terms because of it, but I can say that what is really considered truly beautiful by the human biological organism, and the versions of beauty set out since civilizaton set in and women became men's posessions in a number of societies are very different things.

You will know the answer when women (and men) drop all this fabricated nonsense about what gender is supposed to be and what love is supposed to be. It will be very obvious what the answer is.

(Sorry if I sound testy... it's just my opinion/observation.)

Oh, let me clarify.

I just think that what women are SUPPOSED to find attractive in men, and what they deep down really find attractive (or what is, in fact, attractive about any human being) is not really the same thing.

Our society tells us what beauty is. As hard as it may be to fathom )because we're all grown up now and we have had certain ideas "imprinted" pretty well in our brains) there is a lot more variation to what is beautiful.

I think men can be beautiful if they want to be or they allow the beauty in them to come out.

And when I said "when women are given freedom, they often like gay porn", I meant that if women were equal to men in what they could decide was attractive they would logically end up being atracted to men who put time and effort or thought into beaing beautiful and not men who simply sit around expecting to be accepted while women have to work for half an hour in front of the mirror first.

(Of course, it may be that sexy men in the gay porn are the one who arent going out of their way to alter qualities abotu themselves, and it is "normal" men who have supressed their beauty, and it makes what a woman finds attractive in a man something more abstract like reliability, a career, etc, instead of just being able to hop in the sack, like all human beings deep dwnjust wanna do but can't because circumstance gets in the way)

I say everything is mixed up and screwed up, because I don't think what human beings really find beautiful is what religion, predjudice, society, etc. has taught is us truly beautiful.. and we have to figure out on our own what (male) beauty really is.

Obviously it's because wer're often so mature and deep.

Ideas of what is 'beautiful' in a man, or in anything really, is, I think, a personal thing. What one woman finds desirable, such as a hairy chest, others will consider a total turn off. Sure, there may be things about a man that tend to be seen as beautiful by a statistical majority of women, or other men, but that's all it is.. statistics.

I think SOME women find men attractive because off butts (extra thrusting power), musclularly balanced physique (good sexual performer), good face or hair, and most of all, personality. However, itsusually NOT about the penis, but about sexual ability and stamina to give a woman multiple orgasms. I mean, who DOESN'T like multiple orgasms?? DUH. Of course, this usually is because women are trying to make themselves feel that residual euphoria that results in good sex (or distraction), to keep them from feeling the guilt of poor self-esteem.

9 times out of 10 women are looking for personality in a man (or woman) that they find attractive. Physical looks are usually a nice side-benefit. The emotion attachment comes not from looks, but from their own sense of insecurity (which of course we all have). "I can't leave my man" is usally a fear of ones self-confidence or esteem if you will.

Most people seem to have gotten stuck on the idea of "beautiful", which is HIGHLY subjectable. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" is not just a saying, you know. Plus, most of the time women are NOT talking about physical beauty, although its a nice SIDE benefit.

I wonder this a lot myself. I'm sure if we had fur, a muzzle, and a tail we'd be better looking. :P Oh, and less ugly ears.

Some people I can honestly say are cute, but I can't seem to "get off" to humans physically. It's all in the personality to me. Unfortunately I've found most people to be a bit lacking in the personality department, and the ones that aren't have always been snatched up before I get to know them.

Despite the gay furry porn, I'm straight. However the way woman can consider another woman beautiful, I can find attractive trates in a man. Maybe they have soft eyes, a rigid chin, etc..

You may never understand because you aren't open to the male form. So honestly, I don't see a point in explaining this to you. :P

Men aren't supposed to be 'beautiful', they're supposed to be 'handsome'. Beautiful is usually a word in the context of a female, and saying a guy is beautiful kinda seems like you're saying they're pretty like a girl. To me, anyway. I'm really semantic.

Anyway, I don't have a whole lotta experience on the subject, but I'm gonna say... I dunno, pheramones. Yeah, let's go with that. If a guy smells good, they're golden. However, if they smell like a thousand walkruses just farted simultaneously, well to hell with them. Alternatively, spraying a shitload of Axe and Tag all over you will give you the same effect as the previous.

Gals dont goes for looks... well depend on where your are then, for i never met anyone that dosent go on the looks.

If you dont have totaly the look on you (fix what you can fix) compensate with fashon or a fancy car.

hmm, two things women tend to look at first in guys. Thighs and Eyes. They also like them to have a nice triangular body shape, shoulders wider than the waist, not necesarrily muscular, but so they look healthy. They also prefer the look of a guys back to his front usually. some girls thing a guys wang looks good, most just think it's ugly.

as for facial features, welll, I dunno, so long as it's symmetrical, I think anything goes. some guys like 'em bald, some like 'em hairy. most girls don't even know what they want

there's no set rules, just like guys don't all like the same thing. it's just that males are more visually orientated than women. it's how we've evolved, men were strong enough to decide who the wanted to mate with. beauty, anything in life, really, it all boils down to reproduction and what'll give your kids a fighting chance.

My theory is pretty weird I guess, but I'll give it a go.

I think it's deep rooted instinct based on concious and subconcious preferences, I.E. Some women prefer a larger guy with some fat to him while other women prefer a leaner, more muscular guy.

In my opinion, it's something akin to comparing a guy against a set of criteria and judging how well he holds up against said criteria. These could be things like eye colour, personality traits, physical traits and etc.

Pretty much it's something like your favourite anthromorphic fur species, you look around, and you find the guy with all the features that turns you on the most.

If theres one thing I have been told, is that I have a beautifull and cute ass.
Looks like I might have to be on my guard if I get to a con. };=3~

I just picked my nose.

Cocks are dumb looking, fyi. What women find attractive about men is the image they project - are they mysterious, adventursome, RICH, strong, invigorated, etc. Statisticly, women worry about how they will be treated, and how their lives will change for the better with said male. Almost every chick I know finds a very *slim* margin of male physiques attractive - either with polarities of feminine and masculine qualities.

Examples of "attractive":

Emo kid? He's sensitive, (supposedly) a deep thinker, assumed to be a good listener whom can provide comfort.
Scuffy, ripped, construction worker? Muscular and strong, therefore physically fit and healthy. A "man" man, he can provide, give a powerful pounding, and don't give a crap about all that emotion. He'll leave you alone unless you want money or sex.
Ivy-league prep? Money + status. That's about it. Anything else is a bonus.

If you think someone's sexy, you expect them to treat/bang you a certain way based on the assumptions you carry about their looks. Of course, knowing anything about the individuals personality throws these findings out the window.

But that is just physical attraction, not artistic. ANY body type, gender, sex, etc can be beautiful in the correct lighting with the right pose/composition.

I think guys can be stunningly beautiful. Penises, not so much, but faces, hair, necks, shoulders, arms, hands, torsos, legs, and feet. Maybe that's just the hormones talking (it is hard to be attracted to someone and not think they're beautiful), but that's what I think.
