Face or Body?

This question has sort of been nagging me lately. I saw a picture of a girl I knew in a bathing suit on this here internet the other day, and I was kind of surprised that her body was so good-looking, because I'd never particularly noticed her face (it wasn't ugly, just meh--but her body was somewhat attractive). Then, because I am a girl, I compared the two of us, and promptly decided that I have a better-looking face and she has a better-looking body. And I began to wonder, what is more important to guys?

If one saw both she and I in bathing suits, she'd be the obvious pick. But girls aren't usually strutting around in bathing suits--especially not those who think they have something to hide. So are guys more likely to concentrate on facial features? Then, if things become more intimate, is it this big surprise: "She doesn't look like a swimsuit model, WHUT??"

Please keep in mind that I am not implying some HUGE dichotomy. We're not talking hideous face/beautiful body or vice versa. I also know that you'd prefer awesome body and face but that wouldn't make a very interested thread, would it?

Edit: Apparently, the term is "butter face." But throw in a "butter body" too.

Here's what I tend to think when a guy says that; I think they have this image of a woman who is beautiful and toned like a model, but simply weighs more and has more curves/bigger breasts. Something like this:



I would say that that would be a grievous misperception, though; the vast majority of "chubby" women are not toned like that; there will be some flab and/or rolls to deal with. They probably will have bigger, natural boobs though. However, it's still encouraging to hear guys say that they don't dig the super-skinny chicks. Because let's face it, those chicks are getting fewer every decade.

I kinda take the opposite approach with guys; I prefer the "skinny" ones to the buff, muscular ones. I've kinda thought that a skinny guy is somewhat equivalent to a slightly chubby girl, that way. While girls worship thinness with regard to themselves, it is generally stereotyped as an "unattractive" boy quality, which is silly. Though, you know how girls think the "ideal" girl body is a lot skinnier than guys actually think it is? It works the other way around, too; a really buff guy can be as much as a turn-off as a super-skinny chick to the opposite sex. Both might point to possible signs of unhealthy obsession with body image. That being said, they don't always, so I hope all the buff guys and thin girls don't come bursting in here with steak knives.

What is your height, Gech? I'm over 150lb, you know!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Aww, you guys are so cute with your personality preferences... No, seriously, you're making me feel ridiculously shallow.

Right now I'm looking for a guy who is good-lookin', and that's one of my very few stipulations. You may have a nice personality, buddy, but I gotta think you're oh-so-cute. That's kind of funny coming from me, though, because I'm not really a model over here, and it's fairly rare that the guy upstages the girl lookswise, though it often happens the other way around. It's worth emphasizing, though, that what I think is cute may not necessarily fit into the average "hotness" stereotype. But it may. How should I know?

Also, it's making me laugh that we're all claiming to be so picky. Sure, Deni may be able to tap some ass whenever he'd like, but let's be honest... GFF isn't exactly a couples hangout. More like... a single-guy-who-would-take-anything-he-could-get's... hangout. Um, don't mind me.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Deni, he didn't say that he didn't care about body at all... Way to take a statement way too far so as to make it look ridiculous.

You can make anyone look idiotic if you put what they say into an extreme context.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Well it's not like I'll be fucking his nose.

Stop pretending you're not shallow and tell the truth: BODY MATTERS SO MUCH MORE. It's what you'll be fucking at the end of the day.

Spoiler:

The answer is face, for me, but I do seem to go for a fairly specific body type.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
