    So, why do you suppose people are attracted to some, but not to others? I mean, there has to be some mechanics behind it.

    I guess this goes for both looks and personality. I guess I think of it because I find people attractive that most others don't and vice versa.

    For instant, Brad Pitt, to me, is ugly...I would touch him with a ten foot pole (and not just cuz he doinks Angelina either)...but Johnny Depp...oh yeah, I'd be all over that...

    This also applies for the average person...some of my female friends' boyfriends are butt ugly, but they think they are darling.

    Hmmm, just something that came across my mind.

    Yeah Im kinda strange to, I love short under 5'3" women, and really like em a bit chunky. I mean that flat belly thing is kinda sexy but to me I love a little something to squeeze. Guess that is one reason why my marriage died, she got like all super skinny and really our personalities totally clashed so there was nothing there anymore, lol.

    Yeah, but WHY do some people prefer certain qualities, while others prefer something different? That's the question.

    you can either spend your whole life wondering how something works or you can just accept it...thats where logic becomes the beggining of wisdom...

    I have a scientific brain. I want to know how things work. I don't like just accepting things...it's not how my brain functions.

    I have found that I am attracted to a wide variety of women, both in looks and personality; but personality is the key. I recall one time I was with this girl who was kind of 'stocky' and with, I guess, a very unique look; a couple of friends made fun of us, to me, saying that she was butt ugly; I can see how they would judge this way. She was beautiful, and she could 'make love' like no other; a kind, alert mind; keen wit; beautiful. I remember being with another woman who was beautiful; vogue-beautiful, sex was amazing but it would stop short of 'magic,' afraid of impression, judgemental; her depth locked under a well-formed cage-layer of mind. So to answer your question, to me, it is personality, the mind, the soul of the being that really counts; that makes 'attraction' last and expand; the mind moves the body.

    I know it does, but WHY?

    Some people like Intelligence, others don't care if their partners are intelligent or not. Some people like partners that are romantic, some don't. I just wonder WHY?

    Physicaly I find myself attracted to symmetry. Breats which are too big for the body are not a plus, niether are hips which are too big. I am not awefuly picky as long as I like the personality and as long as the girl is skinny (I myself am a very skinny guy and a bigger girl would just crush me in bed.)

    Personality-wise... it truly depends on the person. Traits that usually get me are intelligence, creativity, and confidence.

    I think people are not understanding the question I am asking. I know people have different preferences...but WHY do we have different preferences is what I'm asking.

    As I said. I believe people are attracted to symmetry. Beyond that, it is probebly social notions which contain us.

    A hunderd years ago people would go crazy for bigger girls, while now it is anorexic supermodels. Society, and these days through media, tells us what we are supposed to be attracted to based on our sex, social standards, class, interests, etc.

    If it's symmetry, then everyone should be attracted to pretty much the same people, right?

    And as far as the bigger vs. smaller girls...that's all about preference...I know people that prefer larger women over smaller...that's what I wonder.
