...The term "odd" being misleading. Perhaps "normally abnormal"???

Sure people in the magazines look "hot", but are you more attracted to the non-airbrushed and accessible?...(ie...as far as "public" figures go, I find people like Samantha Brown (Travel Channel) and Rachel Ray (cooking show) very attractive)

-and/OR (and depending on orientation)-

Do you find a man who prefers the museum to the football game attractive?

Do you find a woman who can belch louder than you attractive? (had to make that a bit extreme because the "dirty blue jeans to elegant gown" is just "a given")

Half the time the women in ads and magazines are TRANSVESTITES. The throat is a dead give away. So is he shape of the hips. it is more than abnormal for a chick to have a pistol let alone one bigger than mine hiding down there!

The reason for this is that in our minds we see a beautiful woman but there is something JUST wrong enough for us to not quite place a finger on it so we look and look and look. When it is revealed that she is actually a he well...

I see it as a test of you Heterosexuality. Can you spot the fakers?

I like to dream, and
I like to see what's in front of me.

both are beautiful.

"odd" is dead sexy, btw.

being attractive is an attuide just like being sexy. For me its not a turn on to have some taned muscle bound hunk wait on me. Im way in smart men orginal thinkers and doers! Lets put are recipes together and see what we can cook up in the kitchen. now thats hot

the man who loves a football game so long as he loves me more- that- is sexy - a man who genuinely enjoys a woman.

I'm T-Totally sick & tired of men who want a sammich, the game and the girl to just get out of his face. yuck

sounds like you want the subjective AND objective (which is what I think this will all boil down to...."with my agreement")

If Beach won't mind, can I just add this to his question:

I really am curious to know, if you would only be permitted to choose one of these two traits in your partner, what would it be? Would you choose beautiful or smart?

the disclaimer was (depending on orientation)....no stereo typing here....
we all know it's only gay "women" who like football anyway...right?

the latter IS the former

Really I would hope for a balance between the two. We all are attracted to the Beautiful. Honestly who would want to date someone who looked like a truck load of Ugly wood was driven over them and the load fell off the truck on top of them? I have met plain women who had a lot of personality and some even were a lot smarter than most people. Beauty is speculative. I have seen so many women intentionally "Dumb down" or "sand bag" how they look and once you get them past the sexual fear of their looks they rise from the ashes goddesses!

Likewise no one likes a beautiful woman who is smart but a total beyatch. Men who put up with that behavior are JELLYFISH! No Backbone!

So even if the girl would look like she's in the late stages of human decay, but has an IQ that would put MENSA to its knees, you would rather have her as a partner than, say, for example, someone who's as beautiful as Eva Mendez or some other goddess with an IQ lower than their waistline?

b*tchy, i wouldnt want to put up with that either, but there has to be something wrong in the relationship, lack of communication. If heat is to hot get your lamprey a*s out of the kitchen.

Can't be both, Andy. Just pick one. The reason I'm asking is because this became a topic for debate among my friends one night, and I'm curious as to what your opinions are.

I find the 'odd' extremely attractive, the stranger the better...never was into normal.

I find a man who can do both football and the museum attractive, I can wait till the games over if it's that important to him. No rush..

I'm far more likely to be attracted to somebody I see at the mall or at McDonald's than I am to someone in a magazine.

The SAFI (Standard Advertising Female Image) is much too "artificial" for me, and they also tend to be constructed in ways that I don't find appealing to begin with.

i like beauty...Im only human..somthing I like to look at...

but my ides of beauty is usually a little different than most

my kind of beauty is:

Marilyn Manson
David Bowie
Lady G

an 250 lb big hairy..big bellied...biker...thats my beauty

but I have to say.....

smart is the clincher for me...I looooove a smart man.....


then I dont have to think so hard!!!

I choose to abstain from choice... if I can't have some degree of beauty and brains I am keeping out of this!

Beauty without brains is like Sushi without rice!

That's why we have Sashimi.


(((((Andy friend))))))

I think the other way. The "air brushed" photoshopped models want to look normal, while they are not.


Here is a non-airbrushed , non-model bunch I wouldn't mind clinking my beer mug with.

I find that women who are labeled as "the hot model type" or "out of your league", well these women normally don't want a man who is all about his looks. It's just that the a-hole guys who are vain are the ones with the guts to ask these women out. And, because the smart, good looking nerds/dorks/geeks of the world won't nut up, the so called "perfect" women go for the vain guys. And, while these hot women are also viewed as dumb, or superficial, in most cases that is not true.

I have said many times that I don't have a type. I can find someone like Rachel Ray attractive, just as much as I can find Beyonce attractive. I find women in there 40's and 50's to be attractive to me just as I do women in their 20's and 30's. Thing is, no matter who she is, what age she is, or what body type she is, if I don't speak to her, then all she is is a fantasy.

I know women drool over the guys with muscles. Hell, most guys envy that. So why aren't all men built like that? Well, because we know that when it all comes down to it, our looks aren't gonna keep a woman with us. It's the who we are. And how we treat a woman. Yeah, we wanna be in good shape. But some of us dudes just wanna eat too ok? LOL!

Anyways, so yeah. I just love women. All of them. I don't discriminate. A major bonus. Chick who can handle her beer?
