What makes a guy attractive?

[dude]

Do males and females agree on what they find attractive or is it possible for a guy to be very attractive among other males but not attractive among females?

And please, don't feed me the crap that it is all about personality. We all know that before personality gets there the looks have to be there first.

There is nothing truer than "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Some like them tall, some like then short, some like them thin, some like them chubby, some like them with hair, some without, some like then young, some like them mature. There are no rules. It all depends on what you find attractive.

Does this mean that all guys are always getting hit on, or do some guys get hit on more than others?

I'd say there's plenty of overlap. If a guy is considered "hot" by a majority of straight women, it's almost certain that he's going to be found "hot" by a majority of gay men.

The one place there does seem to be a bit of a difference? "Dick pics". Gay guys seem more interested in "seeing the package" than straight women are. That doesn't mean all gay guys zero in on it, and all straight women aren't interested - just that there seems to be more interest in the dick from your average gay guy than from your average straight woman.

I'd assume that an athletic adonis with fine eyes and a perfect jawline smelling of sunshine would get hit on the most

But...

I wouldn't even look at him twice. Husky bear or my clockwork stops ticking.

Londoner kinda said all that can be said.

Well...one thing is the same with both men and women...if the guy is a jerk (personality)...both find that unattractive....

So....personality plays a big part in it,,,

As for the other part...Londoner has it right. Different strokes for different folks

Like Londoner has stated "Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. "

It has always been a curiosity point for me. I have never understood what makes a guy attractive even though at, I have considered myself fairly lucky attracting people of both sexes. I am a bit older now and I have moved. But in my twenties I lived in California and I used to be hit on by other guys all the time, in fact, all I had to do was to go and walk by any location where gays frequented and sooner than later someone would approach me lol. I must admit to an extent I enjoyed the attention. However, I have always felt a lot less confident with women.

Attraction has nothing to do with "what women like" vs. "what men like". It has -everything- to do with what each individual person likes... because we all like different things, or focus on different things while not caring about other things. Preferences are as diverse as the personality of every person who has one.

Although, [MENTION=21778]Lexington[/MENTION] is probably right about the dick pics thing.

Science theorizes that men are more ocular-ly stimulated (drawn to visual) than women. I don't know if it's true or not, but men DO seem to watch a hell of a lot more porn than women (and get more turned on by it).

It's just like anything else, really.

Take ice cream. Most people like chocolate. Fewer like blueberry cheesecake. And a select few like pistachio. That doesn't make chocolate a "tasty" or "good" ice cream flavor, and it doesn't make pistachio a "bad" or "unappetizing" flavor. Just that there's more chocolate fans than pistachio fans.

A guy who is considered "attractive" is like chocolate ice cream - lots more fans. I'm probably more like pistachio or blueberry cheesecake. I don't think anybody would say I'm (objectively) "attractive". But there are plenty of guys who wouldn't mind having me after dinner.
