Face or Body?

Face. Body can be important, but to me dating-wise it isn't nearly as important. Sure, if I see a girl with an amazing body and a real pretty face, then that is icing on the cake, but if a girl has small breasts or something I wouldn't not date her.

I'm not very materialistic when it comes to features on women. I just need to be attracted to them, and to me it starts with a pretty face and good personality.

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

Face outweighs body every time, assuming both are relatively average. It's his face you'll kiss, look at when he's talking, take a picture of for your wallet. He can have a body with any number of faults, but they're easier to ignore than, say, a crooked nose, prominent nose hair or large mole between his eyes.

And I'm going to have to agree that personality matters a lot more than body in the long term. My fiance isn't ugly, but he is very average (physically speaking.) I can still look at him and think he's the hottest piece of manflesh out there though because I'm in love with his personality.

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

I can't help but love a girl with a great body. I guess that really is what's more important to me. That, however, is by no means a reason to believe that faces don't matter to me at all. It's just I notice the girl's boobs to body ratio way before I see the face. At least when you're doing a girl, if she lacks the face, you can put a bag over it. However, you can't put a bag over the body when taking your girl on a cute date and introducing her to your friends.

A good face can last more than body.
Even in old age ,good face remains(even with wrinkles), but body has to be maintained fat and other issues.

Moreover, you see face most of the time, body is kept covered(specially genitals/boobs), nobody walks naked all the day.
So its better to watch pleasant face for daily life.

Specially in case of wife , i would go for beautiful face, face that is artistic,always good to look at against, kick ass pants creaming body.
You can get good feeling from face even if you are fully charged for sex or not.
But Good body only attracts me when i am charged, other wise NO.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I guess I'm hanging out with all the wrong girls.

Look, I'm not saying I don't like a cute face, but when you're just busy busy busy shoving her face down into the pillow while you take care of business, who the fuck cares if it's pretty or not? I'd much rather watch a cute behind squirm around than think about the pretty mouth I'm muffling in the sheets, or the gorgeous eyes that are probably tearing up now.

Really, I mean, I agree: It's all about what you see more of. I guess I'm just a whore.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I would go for something with a face. face is nicer than body. No body is perfect. Some are fat, others are too skinny. like blah. But, a nice face people can see a face everyday because faces are there.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The first thing I notice is height. I can't find a guy attractive unless he is tall and has nice hands. I find myself thinking good looking people are ugly if they have bad personalities, so I guess body is first. Tall and lanky is my type.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well, I kinda think a fit body is important, being healthy overall is a big plus for me. I don't like ultra thin girls, but I just can't stand chubby girls. And really, with boobs, I'm kinda different from the general public because I DON'T want a girl with humongous boobs, I'd rather have a girl with small cute ones instead of someone with bigger boobs. But I guess it has to do with that usually the ones with big boobs are chubbier than girls without em. So "average" to "under average" ones are great! I like smaller girls in general. If I'd say the first thing I look at on a girl is well their overall shape of their body, and if they have a nice ASS (cause that is a huge plus) As for the face, I'm not that very picky, I find that alot of people have attractive faces in one way or another. I favor people with nice smiles, or people that are generally happy and smiling though. And I just can't stop loving brown haired girls.

But in my case I don't find the looks that very very important. Sure, I don't want someone downright ugly, but if they just have average looks/look a bit fit/are cute and are easy to be around I'D TOTALLY HIT IT I tend to get attracted to people's voices alone sometimes, and that just makes me want to listen to them for an eternity~ And when I can totally relate to someone else with my interests I get attracted too (cause that rarely happens XD). Humor is important too, I'd want someone whom I could joke about almost anything with. Open-minded girls FTW

The characteristics that really do it for me are confidence and intelligence. I can work around a lot of physical flaws, but if someone is stupid or hates himself then there's not a chance in hell I'm going to be attracted to him.

Alice has a great point. Teeth are the by far the A-1 most important part for me as well. I can deal with many things except HORRIBLE TEETH. I mean, my teeth are fair from perfect, but they aren't jacked up. I mean, if her chicklets are all jumbled up and/or missing, I can't deal with it.

Other than that, I can pretty much handle anything else. I've only got a few ground rules.

1. Teeth
2. Height (5' 3" or higher please)
3. Can I hold a conversation with this person? (Do they annoy me?)

3 simple rules, right? :P

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

Yeah, I have to agree with that about the teeth, because I like people with great smiles, and well, nice teeth=often great smiles.

How ya doing, buddy?

I'd also say face over body. There's just something about looking at a cute face of ya partner and like many others have pointed out, you see their face a lot more than any other part of their body. I like girls with curves and I'm alright with girls without any but they have to be proportionate and regardless of how cute a face a girl may be, if I feel that she's overweight I wouldn't go for her.

And in regards to the cliché that personality is key, I would agree with that to a point, I mean if the girl is hot as hell though but equally naive/dumb, I could only bare to keep it going for a few weeks, unless I only saw her couple of times a week only for screwing. Although if the girl has a great personaly but isn't that good looking in the face/body(mainly overweight) I couldn't bring myself to take it anywhere.

Now to find myself a new girl >.<!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Well, call me shallow if you will, but I couldn't seriously consider being with someone if they didn't have at least an average (by my standards, of course) appearence. Don't get me wrong, I don't think looks are the meter by which we should measure people, it's just that I have a hard time imagining I would want to have an intimate relationship with someone I can't stand to look at.

So I guess that means that face is more important to me, since that is the part of the body which you look at the most when your in a relationship, and if the face is pretty, it's easier to ignore other things that may be less appealing.

FELIPE NO

Neither.

It is all about the eyes.

Luckily, girls with nice eyes usually have the whole package.

Well, glad to know I'll be out of eyesight of you since I fail at the first two points. /shrugs

Anyhow, I tend to go for character/personality over superficial qualities like looks when it comes to guys. Although overall balance is highly recommended, I'm not too terribly picky about the body. Rather, I like being around guys who can admit their flaws and be comfortable with themselves. Something about being around perfectly perfect-face and body type people who are just full of themselves just make me uncomfortable.

Although I must say, guys at the gym I see whom have really shaped bodies, if there's nothing negative about their body then the facial points get even a higher quality standard for scrutiny. I'd rather have a cute face over a slightly out-of-shape body rather than an ugly mask over a gorgeous body.

Face or Body?

"ALL."

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'd have to go with face. Body is definitely important, but with body it mostly comes down to personal care (hygiene, cleanliness, fitness) rather than the actual shape or size of the body. And that is something that either can be improved or potentially you caught them on a bad day.

But an ugly face, well that just ruins everything. Conversations are harder when you can't or don't want to look them in the eye. It's hard to be proud of your girl when you know everyone doesn't really want to see her. And it's just harder to love someone that's ugly. You please them and see them smile... and cring?! Thanks, but no thanks.

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

I really don't go for the chubby/wasting away/totally fat/queer shaped types, even if they have a great-looking face. Skinny/petite but not famine/wasted if you know what I mean. The body ultimately is more important to me, although an ugly face is going to scare me off.

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

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.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Usually girls with pretty faces tend to have good bodies.

FELIPE NO

body doesn't matter to me much (i love all sizes) face has to be pleasing
you can tell a lot about somebody from their face.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I'll wax wise for just a moment here and say that the face IS part of the body. I don't see that the two can be separated. This isn't the French Revolution.

I'll cite Natalie Portman as a case study of my ideal. Dark hair, petite body, great smile. And then she shaved her head and suddenly became very unattractive to me.

Short boyish hair is an extreme negative that totally kills attraction for me. But on the other hand there's no attraction to an obese girl with long beautiful hair either. So I guess there's just a range of attraction, and any extreme negatives in the beholder's eyes can kill it.

But this really is all moot. When it comes to being attracted to a REAL person in the real world there are an infinite number of factors and attributes, positive and negative, both physical and intangible that all matter to a greater or lesser extent whether you can delineate them on a cookie cutter bulleted list or not. You can't build yourself the perfect partner. You find someone with enough positives that matter to you and accept the whole package.

I can't say with certainty "This I'm attracted to. That I'm not." except in certain extremes and generalities. For me, there's a range of physical attraction and it really is personality, intelligence, honesty, maturity etc. that make or break a relationship and attraction. *

But if I have to answer the original topic's dichotomy, a pretty face counts the most. I can be melted by a great smile. And pony tails are nice.

* Of course, if your life's mission is to get as much tail as possible please disregard the previous.

guys think exactly as you do; who'd settle for one or the other when you could have both? so the answer is ALL.

I just scrolled up and realized I responded with the exact same answer on Dec 3, 2007, 07:08 AM. Is this not a testament to my rock-solid, unflinching nature?

What can I say. Zeal is amazing, even to himself.

Face every time. No question really, it's the smile that does it for me. I've gone out with girls of all shapes and sizes, and to be honest, if their personality is particularly attractive I can often forget about their body. Always has to have a pretty face though.
