I am aware there is such thing as cultural beauty. I want to know how people from other cultures are attracted to eachother. I am from the USA so I know how things go here. For example, most Americans are not attracted to women that don't shave but other countries find it to be attractive. Most Africans are attracted to piercings and faces stretched when others think it is weird. So wether you're gay or straight I'd really value your opinion. Also, please state what your culture is so I understand where you're coming from.

I'm from Trinidad and we are attracted to a person by the way they look. Like height, weight and facial beauty. Much like Americans. Our culture is predominantly black and Indian but there are also white and Asians and Africans that live there. It's pretty much up to the individual person and what attracts that person to the other.....being humor or interest.

Intelligence, humor, and good looks. I'm American and my girlfriend is Iranian. Physically, there are people of some races that I'm more attracted to than others. I don't like the kinky hair of black people as much as smooth long hair, for example. However, I have dated a black person, so it really is a matter of the whole package, and not any one trait.
As far as cultural worldviews go, I like someone who is more liberal and open minded. That tends to span cultures. Stereotypically, you wouldn't think a Muslim brought up in the Middle East would be liberal. However, my girlfriend is, even by American standards. She dating an American atheist, after all.

As I know what the average guys need here are blond hair, big breasts and the women must not be thin. Hungarians hate thin women. Several guys say that here. But also they must not bee too fat so there is a limit of course. ;)

I am attracted to other people who share some of my values or beliefs, but more importantly who are kind, sensitive, caring and have a good sense of humour. Physically, I am not attracted to piercings or tattoos. (I'm australian)

A person's personality is what attracts me. Right a away I can tell what sort of person they are by the way they treat other people.

A person's demeanor is what I find attractive or repellent. What is inside of them. Their happiness and kindness. They could be ugly physically and it wouldn't matter to me if they were kind and 'awake'.
I'm an American.

Good manners and a sense of humor are far more important to me than looks.
