what makes a woman or man beautiful to one person and not so much to another? I notice couples who sometimes seem mismatched and I just wonder what makes some people so attractive and others not so much?

A quality, charm. Something about their personalities.

I've dated men who most would not call handsome, but who had qualities when, combined, were like a magnet for me.

Beauty tends to be in the eye of the beholder however likely there are people that are generally considered unattractive, average, and attractive.

Likely what makes a gal beautiful to one person and not so much to another is her youth, body shape, facial features, color, and hair. While what makes a guy beautiful to one person and not so much to another is character, personality, status, wealth, and a dash of physical attributes.

You probably have asked store workers for information or help with finding a product...

A. Some people, who may have helped you may have been quite helpful, funny, talkative, and they may have not been particularly attractive.

B. Others might be very attractive, but no help whatsoever, maybe rude, etc.

So given those choices of people to have a relationship with, which would you choose?

I would choose "A" with a quickness! Keep in mind you live with these people day in and day out. Looks are not as important as personality in my book...

We're all unique and as such, are attracted to different things about people. Some truly feel the heart and kindness of a person, looking past the external features. Some people are hooked by a great smile and fabulous teeth. Some people get "lost" in another's eyes. You hear some guys talk and they're attracted by a body type.

Your post reminded me of an interview with Johnny Depp. I never, for one second, thought the mother of his children was beautiful. Apparently, she was wearing a backless dress, at the function he met her at. She had a beautiful back...then when she turned around and he saw her eyes, he was completely smitten. Hmmmm one just never knows what's going to be the magnet for someone! LOL

This is very true. We are all attracted to different things. I love a male's big hands.

There is no right or wrong answer to your question. It comes down to personal choices and what someone likes and dislikes about someone else. What is beautiful to you may not be beautiful to me and vise versa. We may have some things that attract us to someone that are similiar but not quite the same.

French which means literally, I don't know what; an enexplained quality, a certain something about them which makes them stand out whether it concerns their looks, their personality or a combination of many criteria.

Very light or white skin
Light colored eyes
Wavy/straight long hair
Slender build
keen nose

the closer you are to this ideal the more beautiful you are perceived to society. It's not fair but that's how it is
