To me, beauty transcends physical appearance. I think that a beautiful person is one who is selfless, kind and caring. Physical appearances don't matter to me, because any guys that I've gone on a date with with on the basis of looks alone have been complete a$$holes. I suppose that I shouldn't judge a whole group by a few bad incidences, but after a while it's hard not to. If there is enough of an emotional connection, I don't care much about how a person looks.

That being said, my ideal is a man who is taller than me, has a great smile, and strong hands/arms.

I am attracted to people who smile and make eye contact and who have something interesting and/or funny to say.

Lucky for me, I've found just that in my wonderful s/o

You know, in all honesty, I dont think Ive met anyone in real life like that. At least, not that I can recall right now. But I have definitely met some physically unnatractive people who when they opened their mouths and shown their true colors and jaded negative mean personalities became doubly super ultra unnattractive and ugly.

Beauty to me is someone who can understand a joke and laugh with me.

Nothing more unattractive then a person that just doesn't get it.

As for physical. I would have to say nice slim body. I don't mind small chests as long as there is a little buttocks to go with that small frame. She can't be short though. I like someone over 5'5.

As for beauty. The dung beetle is a beautiful creature.

I admit when famous "perfect" women are beautiful: Gwen Stefani, Scarlet Johannson, Rihanna, etc -- even too-skinny coke princess Kate Moss. I just don't think all of them are simply becasue a lot of people think it. imo, Carmen Electra, Jessica Beil, and Christina Aguilera are overrated.
and I think Eva Mendez is straight up ugly. *shrug*
Well you're a girl so your opinion on these matters don't count

I'm not a man myself, but Megan Fox is hot. So is Scarlet Johannson (in a different way) and Jessica Biel, in my opinion - which doesn't count either.

I know we can't totally understand a male perspective, but we can still determine (our opinion of) general attractiveness. It's not like we can't understand that a girl has big boobs. I DO use a lot of the same qualities that (average) men do when judging female attractiveness.

I'm surprised how a lot of people are specifically avoiding talking about physical attrtaction and only discussing personality attractiveness..

Yes to all of the above. That's where Kim Kardashian and Megan Fox come in...beautiful, until they open their mouths. Well, they are still physically beautiful regardless of how much they may repulse me as human beings, but I am instantly unattracted to them if that makes sense. I do believe a pleasant personality compliments physical appearance...win/win!

What I think I find attractive and what I am actually attracted to are two very different things.

I'm for equal opportunity. I've dated some ugly guys, but they had the best personalities and won me over. I've also dated some beautiful men - some had good personalities, some not so much.

It's a mixed bag for me.

It's funny how attraction works. So tell us, which female celebrities do you find physically attractive?

There are male celebs who for the life of me I can't see what women are going ga-ga over. In most cases I think it's their bodies or celebrity status that women are drawn to, because guys like Vin Diesel, Brad Pitt, or Lil Wayne, don't seem to possess handsome mugs or magnetic personalities. But I'm not a hater type and I've never felt any resentment towards guys who are either legitimately handsome or the ones whose popularity just puzzles me...to each.

I agree with a lot of what you say. The only thing, for me, I'll correct is: I just have ZERO respect for actresses. To me they barely look human. Outside of Maggie Lawson and maybe Kayley Cuoco (sp??) I just honestly don't find them pretty. Even Megan Fox. She looks like an alien species.

Now I will say, about 90% of Female Tennis players I see on the TVs have some sexiness going on. But then again I am a TOTAL sucker for athletic legs like that. Wow.
