Women can usually pinpoint what they like in a man (manly voice, nice hands, five o'clock shadow, etc.). They work from the general to the specific.
Men can pinpoint what they like only about a particular woman. We work from the specific to the general.
That's one of the biggest misconceptions about men that women have. They assume a man likes "big boobs, too thin, blond hair, etc." when nothing could be further from the truth. It varies from woman to woman. A man can be attracted to a woman with big boobs because of her big boobs. He can likewise be attracted to another woman because of her small boobs.
Men like women just as they are, and because of how they are. Thin, plump, long legged, short legged, blond, brunette, redhead, whatever.
In other words, show me a woman and I will tell you what about her makes her attractive.
That was a really good post. It's nice to read what a reasonable, mature man has to say about their view on women.
