Body or Face, which is more important?


EYES -- EYES -- EYES.
Everything he is, is in his eyes.

After eyes comes what he says -- his mind and his heart.
The rest are just details.

Does the neck count as part of the body or face?

I would have to say that body is more important. A pretty face is nice but nothing gets me going like a woman with a great body. I guess I just love being active and care about my health and fitness level so its natural that I find myself attracted to women who are similar. Of course you can take a woman with a pretty face and terrible body and "fix" her body but I dont look at woman as "projects".

Anyone see the Track and Field Olympic trials? The women who run the races between 100 meters and 1500 meters have outstanding bodies.

men are... sigh. So superficial. but i gotta admit that us girls also look at the guys outer facade first. But we're more receptive to the underlying beauty and personality once the greek god speaks.

handsome men sometimes have no brains. Hit the head and you hear a hollow 'gong' sound...

Face...all the way. Before body. You notice the face. That's what you interact with. You can also change your body through exercise more so than your face.

Some guys talk about "yeah, man, what a hot body she's got" but then the face is rough. Case in point: Jaime Lee Curtis has the "hot body" but a butch face that's hard to look at.

Now, a pretty face can't have a hefty caboose or a football player's legs as part of the package. That wouldn't work.

About the post immediately above, women are extremely superficial, too - oh, he's not tall enough - oh, he's this - oh, he's that....come on, women do the "slice and dice" as well.

The problem is, you ignore a person's "underlying beauty and personality" if a guy doesn't look perfect on the outside. A lot of women can't accept what amount to minor flaws or just immaterial differences, and I've heard some whoppers.
  • Arms not big enough. Come on now. If I can bench 200, who cares that my arms aren't tree trunks?
  • No butt. First of all, men aren't supposed to have butts. Some cushioning is okay, but it shouldn't be shaped like a female's. That's inappropriate.
  • Legs not big enough. Again, I can leg press 350 and probably outrun you, so why does it matter that my legs aren't massive?
  • Hair too long/short. This is a stupid reason not to get to know someone. Don't get me wrong; if a female is literally bald, I can't go there, or if her hair is naturally long and she cuts it because she's too lazy to maintain it, no. But that's more about her attitude than the hair itself. Besides, it's okay for most men to be bald; IMO, women were not meant to cut their hair that deep.
  • No visible abs. I don't have a beer belly, so what's the problem here?
  • Skin too smooth (It's happened). This is just ridiculous.
Etc and so forth. Too many women looking for the so-called "Greek god" and don't stop to understand that normal men aren't like that. Stop letting Fabio guide your way to a real man.

I think im of those rare few that dont really look skin deep then. Coz my last relationship was with someone not remotely handsome at all. I even had people telling me to wake up and actually LOOK.

Of course i'd be lying if i say i don notice the looks first. But i dont allow looks to dissuade me from talking to the persn and getting to know him more.

I dont think men do this. They simply see the woman and make up their minds about her and move on. I have never, not once, come across a guy who does otherwise.

And I do not go for biceps... nor do i go fr thighs... i may like a nice butt, but that's just coz i dance latin alot, and i tend to notice butts.

And yes yes yes.... fine, you can definitely outrun me, outbenchpress me and out-watever me. Don't need to remind me about that..

The body is what counts. It must be slim, attractive, and in good shape.

Face. A guy can always improve on his body or lose weight.

I think this is what they call a "butterface" as in....everything's all good but her face...

IMO....I offer the whole pckg so I expect the whole pckg...... Although, sweet guys do tend to hold onto my interests.....
