What makes a man "attractive"?

Question

I've been told numerous time online and offline that I am not an "attractive" man (discounting the fact that I'm not smiling in this photo which is a different topic all together.)

So what makes a man "attractive" and not in the "personality" sense. That is a completely moot subject. This is completely about physical appearance. What does a man need to have to make him appealing to the female masses?

,,,addendum

Seems to be a LOT of references to "personality" in these answers. As I said before don't count "personality" since, honestly, that does NOT go as far as PC dogma would have us believe.

Answer 1

one answer: pink. shirts.

Answer 2

Well everyone has different preferences, but for me a man can be attractive without being drop dead gorgeous if he is sure of himself, and if he dresses a certain way (sorry but Rustler jeans aren't a big turn on..or velcro tennis shoes...or pointed toe cowboy boots....etc..at least for me)...Then again a man can be very attractive, but open his mouth (just as a woman can) and ruin it by having a horrible personality.


I am attracted for the most part to the working class man...pretty eyes, dark complexion,tall...not skinny, well spoken, NOT needy....it just depends. I might think someone (for example Andy Garcia from The Godfather) is the sexiest man ever, but some other woman might not think he's sexy at all.
You look attractive in your small picture, so don't worry..besides why would anyone be so rude as to tell someone they weren't attractive. Maybe they meant they weren't attracted to you...thats an entirely different story, which for the most part has to do with your personality.
DEFINITELY no unibrow, or nose hair hanging out or ear hair...hate excessive back hair...and manicure or shave other areas as well.

OK I looked at your 360 picture which is bigger, and I can't understand as far as your face why someone would say you are unattractive.
You have that ...mysterious/dark/biker/ mobster/masculine/a tad bit mean look...there are women that like that. Like me for instance. I'd go out with you if I weren't married. The women that like the preppy type men..the type men that don't know what a carburetor is...you probably scare them...therefore they migt not find you attractive.

Answer 3

You can't analyze attractiveness without taking into consideration the "inner person" factor. I don't care HOW gorgeous a woman is, if that is all she has to offer, she has little hope of a lasting relationship, and although men may speak to the contrary, deep inside, they know this is true.

The same is true with men.

If that is really your photo, you are an attractive person. Trust me, I'm picky. I'm also an old lady so don't get any ideas. (g) You may not be smiling, but your features are good, and you display a certain individuality that comes through in the photo. However, women are looking for someone with self-confidence, humor, compassion, integrity. . .and the list goes on and if you are not confident in yourself, that will show through.

I'll let you in on a little secret. Most women today will deny this, but at the deepest heart of a woman, she wants to be seen as beautiful and worth fighting for. . .in a word. . .captivationg. If you appeal (sincerely) to the desires of a woman's heart, you will not have ANY problems with them finding you attractive. Trust me.

Answer 4

its different for each and every person; tall/short, full butt/no butt, poor/rich, muscular/body builder/thin/skinny/stocky/heavy/fat/obease. It's ones physical attraction that will make a woman look twice-three-four times at. But that is buying a book because of the nice looking cover. Its what is inside that really matters.
by your picture, even without the smile, I'm sure that you do turn quite a few woman around to look again.
although the picture "to me" makes you look mad and angry. A different expression on your face would be "to me" more appealing.

Answer 5

I think everyone has a different opinion of what makes a man attractive physically. I tend to like well defined arms and chest. Friendly eyes and straight, white teeth are a plus also.

Answer 6

I like intriguing eyes. Nice hair and a big smile. I find so many different types of guys attractive. I can say in one breath that I find both Colin Farrell and Oliver Platt equally attractive. It just depends really.

You look handsome in your picture.

Answer 7

A man needs to have a clean appearance, he needs to have a clear complexion, white teeth, and generally not too hairy. If a man is well kept that shows he takes pride in his appearance. And since we women are usually attentive to our appearnce a man should be also.

Answer 8

For me in facial features I love light eyes, like blue or green. I love a defined jaw (kinda like Brad Pitt). Body.... Big guys, but not fat. Too skinny is not attractive to me. The sexiest part of a mans body to me is shoulders and arms..... tone and muscular, but not huge. Don't know why....hope that answered your question.

Answer 9

I think a man being attractive depends on him and how his inner personality appears on the outside. Also, being attractive to others is in the eyes of the beholder....

PS... you are attractive

Answer 10

A guy is attractive if he is clean and fits my sense of style (I tend to like preppy guys). I know you don't want to hear about personality, but for me, nothing is more attractive than a guy that has confidence, but doesn't act like a jerk.
