I read something a bit more scientific today. It seems that men are attracted by the smell of a woman when she is ovulating and correctly identify and correlate her smell with her desire for sex at that particular time.

Women also know when a man wants sex by the smell he gives off. Of course it depends on how long he’s been dead.

“Both the body and face can provide clues as to a woman's reproductive value and current fertility...

Boy, when I was born I must have been missing a strand of genes or two but I never, never thought of a woman in terms of her "reproductive value and current fertility."

Any other Freeper out there have the same orientation?

...men were exceedingly more likely to go for a woman with a curvy body.

Then why are do so many men attach themselves to women with bodies that look like a fourteen year-old boy's?

“But we all still love to get that construction guy whistle!”

This woman does not. It’s humiliating to be called out when you’re walking along, minding your own business. It’s also rude. Tacky. Embarrassing.

On the other hand, my son (now age 4), since he was an itty bitty kid in a stroller, will go out of his way to look at an attractive woman. He almost fell out of his stroller at the mall turning to check out a woman in a short skirt and heels. He makes my husband so proud. :)

Hate butterfaces so tend to look at faces first.

If you have a 4 year old child, you are probably still relatively young. Like I tell my daughter, youth is fleeting, enjoy it now so you can let go with grace when it’s gone. Trust me, male attention may be embarrassing now but you will miss it when it’s gone.

Those men are gay, so why worry about them.

Hair? Is it flowing.....I like lustruous flowing hair. For example, if I put my hands in her hair...can I get it out...thick lustruous hair is very important. Do you want to get it out?

Cheeks...is there a rosey glow....a hue...

There's a hue.

As odd as it sounds, hair is the first thing I notice - I love long hair! It just enhances the natural beauty of a woman, IMHO. After that, I notice her face - trying to determine whether or not she has a cheerful disposition.

I also notice her arms - slightly muscular is perfect. This tells me whether or not she’s obsessive-compulsive about her body, and tells me a little more about her personality.

Everything else is secondary. I would take a pretty, friendly girl who is plump over a “beautiful” celebrity with a “perfect” body that had no personality every time.

Of course, I’m marriage-minded, so I’m looking for a good mother to my future children.

They do not mean to imply that one thinks about it consciously.

In a way, that speaks to the concept of fertility also. It suggests youth, and therefore relative health and number of years of expected fertility.

I tell my daughters:

“Men like hips. Boyz play with stix.”

I refer to my teenage son’s girl as a “cow-eyed, square-jawed stick.”

Never fails to crack the daughters up.

Bodies deteriorate but cute faces last longer
