I am considered quite a challenge myself.  Come on, do you really want to make it easy on the guy?  They need to be challenged so that they feel they have well earned the gal.

Cheers guys!  Sounds like the ones with the wit do win after all!\n\nI concur, a mate that can challenge you intellectually is the best you can find...and that just makes them all the more good looking!

I admire men who have good control over their impulses and demonstrate good charactert their strength is an attractive and admirable thing.  I think very little of women who have to resort to offering sexual favors to get what they want. Being smart, clever and respected is far more effective. (unless you are bribing your husband to take you to the ballet..that is an altogether different matter and great fun.)

Some men are intimidated by a female who is very intelligent and/or beautiful.  They don't think they will add up.  Try not revealing everything about yourself all at once.  I know your proud of your degrees, but let these men know slowly about all of this.

No, men like women are all different. Personally i can't stand the scary stick thin people - but some people do. I'm a firm believer there is someone for everyone, don't sell yourself short - while men often joke otherwise, personality is often the most important thing. \nEveryones beautiful to someone

It depends.  Some women are just stupid and don't know when you are trying to get to them, and some guys are just stupid and dont give strong enough signals.  I recommend commenting them about their appearance occasionally, it normally helps.

My experience(personal and clientelle) suggests that we do not. Although we can appreciate a beautiful face we actually like someone with a figure. We all have features that attract our eye more than others, chest backside, legs etc but truly after the innitial view men quickly revert to the features they prefer and to the personality...men really just want a woman who makes them think they are the one without losing themselves.

Well looks are only part of it.  I know that one thing I find sexy about models is their confidence level.  I've met some women that wouldn't be considered very attractive physically by society standards that really shine because of confidence.  Of course there are guys that are so superficial that all they care about are looks but those guys are typically losers.

I asked a similar question a couple months ago, because my wife is somewhat butch and constantly gets approached by men.  It does seem to happen a lot!  I think it's a combination of challenge, the woman being naturally attractive, men wanting a woman they can relate to as a friend, and men just having more interesting and varied tastes than they're told to have by the media.\n\nHere's my question and its answers:\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AlHNZxGSruq3IcPhOzlBSrzsy6IX?qid=20061011084416AAZGDNJ

physical attraction is not everything.\na gorgeous woman has attention for a little while until she speaks and her ignorance and uneducated words come out.\nnow, who do you think a sensible guy would pick?

Well when I look for a man, I look for someone I can be "me" around. Someone who is attractive in his only way. Someone nice, a little cocky. Nice truck or car is a bonus, but he has to be able to make me laugh.

Ok, I definately like to be challenged but compared to someone else???  HELL NO!  The only person I'm comparing myself with is who I was yesterday.  If a girl is playing hard to get because it makes her feel good to see guys doing backflips to get her attention, then she is an a$$whole in my opinion!  If a girl makes it known that she has mutual feelings for ONE guy who likes her yet only allows him to know that slightly so that his ego doesn't get to big, that is a smart girl.

I have learned after a long time of thought and watching the world, that healthy and "hot" are synonomys.  The healthier you are, generally speaking, the hotter you are.  I would say that most women do like muscular, healthy men.

Every person has his or her own idea of beauty. I have a good friend who is attracted to very large women. Personally, I am very attracted to bookish, quiet, intelligent women who many guys may not look at twice. Yes, many guys chase after the Barbie dolls.... but not all guys do. More important than your looks is your attitude about yourself, and your openess to being accepted by a good man who sees the beauty on your inside and out. I bet one day it happens for you!
