Evolution. Or to be more specific... the evolutionary sexual selection cues that define our species.

Breasts - Weening offspring. In our evolutionary history the hominid body became weaker as the brain became larger ultimately consuming the most energy of any organ in the body. As a result newborns require extended periods of nursing before the jaw and digestive system are developed enough to consume solids. Chimpanzees are weened off of breast milk in 5-6 months as compared with human infants from de-industrialized societies which are weened off of breast milk after 18-24 months.

Buttocks, Pelvis, Legs, Feet (ie everything below the waist) - These are often described as fetishes, but are in actuality sexual selection cues for bipedal motion.

Hands, Arms, Shoulders, Nose, Ears - These are rarely if ever sexualized because they are structures shared with the other African primates with little evolutionary differences between species.

So in summary. A pretty face will not get a man sexually aroused. Other body parts will.

And yet, a pretty face often does get a man sexually aroused. It's the face that's the primary attraction. Once he's interested in the woman, he'll find the rest of the package attractive whether it fits the norm or not. This happens all the time.

This had nothing to do with the question

Anyway, Ive tried both

When I see a woman with a pretty face and not much curves, all I think is "she might be nice to kiss and maybe get oral sex from, but I will be dissatisfied seeing her nude". Plus I think a lot of that French Kissing is for kids, the older I get, the less I want someones tounge in my mouth

I wouldn't want an ugly face and a great body, but I will take an average face with a great body b/c I would get stimulated, and as a man, that's a big deal to me

I just think men and women should have vastly distinct bodies, and a curveless woman to me, has too much of shape akin to a man

I tend to notice the face more. I fall in lust with the body but in love with the face.

You don’t look at the mantelpiece, while you are poking the fire.

I have noticed how many women looks better as they get older. I have a much better body at 36 than I had at 18.

Not sure, In my case I grew into my body. Lost a lot of weight and so on. I never stopped caring about my looks and became more aware of my health as I grew older. I can't be the only one.

A pretty face doesn't impress me. That's nothing more than a combination of makeup and lucky genetics. A good body, on the other hand, is the result of hours and hours of sweat, tears, pain and discipline. I'll take hard work over being born with certain advantages any day of the week.
