Lol I don't think I met a man with smaller hands than mine. But I like when you sit in a car and he puts his hand over mine as he drives. Simple things like that I like.

Ok my bias I have a degree in sociology and minor in psych. We are attracted to things for a number of reasons, life experience, what are parents looked like, what the media tells us is attractive.

Myself I like smart, educated, brunettes, and stylish glasses are a nice touch. Maybe that's why I married my wife or did the egg come before the chicken I don't know.

Peoples taste change too over time. 30 years ago woman with tats were generally viewed as trash now it's mainstream, jeez even my former sales manager had sleeves and he is quite the yuppie.

That line is a load of bull, it's something said to ugly people to make them feel better...Anyone with eyes can look at a man or a woman and tell whether they are ugly or not. Some people will tell others they aren't ugly only to make them feel better, but they know in reality, they are ugly.

I think there is a universal beauty (which is actually mathematically proven) and if you are close to that you will be perceived as beautiful by the majority of people, therefore it will be easier to attract a potential mate. Once you start moving away from that it becomes more and more difficult because you're not as universally attractive.

It doesn't mean that you won't be able to find someone who is attracted to your 'abnormal' qualities, it just means that you're more of a niche date and it will be a little more difficult.

Attraction to me is individual. What I find beautiful in one person, I may not be attracted to with someone else. I have dated women that people have said "Man, you can do better" and I have always told them not to worry about me, this woman is beautiful, and my opinion at the moment is the only one that matters.

Of course it is, everyone has their own different definition of beautiful. What's beautiful to one person might not be to another

Beauty IS in the eye of the beholder. Thank goodness we are all different in this world, so we are all attracted to different things. Some people prefer someone more like themselves, and some like the complete opposite of themselves (you always hear opposites attract), and some people want something in-between.

I've seen couples together and I think WTF? This reminds me of a true story that happened many years ago. We knew this guy in his 20's that was really a great guy. He met this woman at a bar (not my ideal place to meet someone) and they fell in love and got engaged. We had never met this woman and invited the two of them over for dinner. He got there first because she was working and would come when she got off. While we were waiting for this girl he told us all about her. He told us she was this gorgeous natural blonde with a great figure and was so pretty. Well she arrived and when she walked in I could barely believe this was the same person he described. Yes...she was naturally blonde, but that was about it. I didn't think she was attractive, nor did she have a good figure. My point is that she WAS beautiful to him, and that is all that mattered. Beauty in the eye of the beholder.

beauty maybe in the eye of the beholder, but the reality is, there are people in this world who have a lot of beholders and some who may have just 1 eye.
