To appreciate a woman, you appreciate her as a whole person. A woman has a heart, a mind and a body; all of which can be attractive to a man. To focus on only one area to the exclusion of the others doesn't let you see her as a whole person.
Each woman has areas where she's strong, and areas where she's weak (as do men). A "beautiful" woman can be cruel or stupid. A "plain" woman can have a quick mind and caring spirit. The best are the ones who have a wonderful balance of heart, mind and body; and who know what each is for.
Men are visually oriented, which you do not fully understand. Memories, emotions and desires form a part of our mental "picture" of a woman. We see a loving, compassionate woman in warmer colors. We see an intelligent, outgoing, vibrant woman in brighter colors. Kindness, love and affection soften her image. Cruelty, harshness and pride harshen it.
Over time, our image of a woman gets colored with shared memories, joys, emotions and attitudes; to the point that the image we see has nothing to do with the image she sees in the mirror.
This is why an old man can look at an old woman, and think she is the most beautiful woman in the world. He's not kidding. He's not being kind, or blind. He literally, physically, sees her differently.
Men are visually oriented. At first, this means only your physical appearance. Later, assuming we are emotionally healthy as men, your physical appearance has very little to do with it.

I dont have any standards, i believe beauty is from within and looks are just a wrapping. I treat people the way I would like to be treated myself, but I believe there should be a modicum of gentlemanly conduct towards a woman, but never chauvanism or patronisation. Men of my age are cautious about womens age..too young and youre a cradle snatcher, dirty old man, a letch etc. Too old and "she must have money" or a desperate man who will take on anything...sad I know, but true.

I'll tell you. I'm 50, divorced, a mother/father of 4 and it's been ten years. What i thought of women then & now is different.
1. U r not rug dolls for sex, after which you put it away untill the need arises.
2. U r not ordinary surgions to suture our wounds & comfort us.
3. U bring life to the world thru child bearing & upbringing.
4. Yo emotional tendacies brings a counter balance to our so called rationale.
5. God was not crazy to creat yu and put testirones in us.
6. We are NEVER the same, so why did God do that? To creat sanity in insanity.
7. You smooth our egos.
8. Even Hitler bowed and begged for it.
9. You are the only spicis who chose serenade over a Rolls.
10. God would bless any man, all the time, if only they paid attention to what he created for man. Yet we are proud in the gates forget the source of our pride.
Yes, i appreciate women now......Gosh after 50 years.

Hopefully by the time we get over 45 we are fairly settled in our life. I am happily married and adore my wife. We have some separate interests which is good, but we like being together. I don't expect my wife to conform to any standard that she wouldn't expect of me. We are Christian and I guess our faith comes with its own set of standards. My wife is totally honest and I respect that - sometimes it can be embarrassing but it is her and I wouldn't want to change the way she is. She seeks hard to understand me and my needs and to juggle all the hats she wears of wife, mother, friend, professional and she does it well. She doesn't expect me to be what I'm not or can't be, but that doesn't mean she doesn't encourage me. I can't speak for other guys or what they expect of their partners or lovers - I just know what we have works for us and am grateful. If we go into a relationship expecting too much or a certain style we might be disappointed - look for honesty and go with the flow. Hope that helps!

A woman of any race or culture with a modicum of class and bearing is one of the most sensuous, alluring and desirable creatures ever created.
