physical attractiveness - i don't understand men at all.

Why are guys attracted to women like Pamela Anderson, who are all fake tits, fake tan, fake hair colour and pumped up lips? Ditto Paris Hilton.
Why isn't the amount of time they obviously spend on themselves a turn off, vis-a-vis the high vanity factor, or the mere artificiality of appearance a turn off?
Also, why do guys prefer these sort of "robo-blondes" to well groomed, classically beautiful women who have real hobbies and interests? Can't multi-dimensional women be sexy or something?
I mean real hobbies too, not drinking and making DIY porn.
I'm finding myself in the queue for attractive men behind these Stepford- style porn queens more and more. They get the diamond ring and I'm thinking that I should've been a promotional model or an Indy car girl rather than going to college and grad. school.

I think you're got it wrong.

Real men like real women, not plastic. Real women are enticing and sexy. Shop-worn, so-called pin-up models are too phoney to be taken seriously.

Oops! I'm speaking for myself. Some men may disagree. As far as I'm concerned, the Pamelas of the world are not at all attractive or enticing. A sex doll would do as well.

Attraction is not rational. First thing men notice is looks, which is why blondes and boobs prevail, even if they aren't real.

It's similar to women liking tall, successful, handsome men. Totally irrational, but that's how it goes.

Once you get past the superficiality of all this, you learn to appreciate people for their inner qualities, as well as their potential to make your life complete.

If only I knew what I was looking for...

Our sense of attractive people is misguided by Hollywood. There is such a push to get the best looking person you can that it has overrun our other standards of humanity. I agree that chemistry is important between two people but many people throw that chemistry away if they are not up to the physical standards you think you want. Chemistry is rare with a person and even if it is not that lust you might have for someone else it just might be the person you need.

Hey speak for someone else now. Personally I don't find the typical blond look that attractive. And definitely NOT Paris Hilton. Someone needs to feed that chick a sandwich.

You've described my ideal woman. I prefer a brunette, not too much makeup, decent but not supermodel body, and someone with lots of interests. If a woman looks too "made up" (i.e. hair, makeup, clothes, etc) the first thing that runs through my mind is, "does this mean I'll be waiting 2 hours while she gets ready for us to go out one day?"

Not to be rude but I don't really give blondes a second look. I love dark, long, straight hair and dark eyes... oh man is it ever sexy.

I find Pamela Anderson & fake chicks like her to be gross. I much prefer girls who look like Jessica Alba. Natural/exotic does it for me every time.

Something to do with a porn actress look and the home movies to back it up, perhaps?

13 year old boys cover their walls with pics of women who have the look you're talking about. It's safe. 13 year old Jay's friends aren't going to come round and say "Oh Gross man...you've got a picture of that brassy porn woman on your wall. Why can't you show a bit of taste, dude, and put up a picture of Audrey Hepburn or someone a bit more elegant looking?"

It takes a while for a guy to grow out of Pamela Anderson. Sometimes a whole lifetime.

PS. I'm blonde But I don't have fake tits (not to say that aesthetically speaking I wouldn't benefit from a pair).

Pamela Anderson is not hot at all to me. I love real women and am turned off by fake women myself. My fiance wears very little makeup, has had no boob jobs or plastic surgery and still looks better than Paris Hilton and her types could hope to look. She also is extremely smart and is an all around interesting person. Real men love women like her. Just continue to be yourself and sooner or later you will find a man who appreciates that. Just think of it as a way of weeding out the jerks.

I have to agree with all of those that are on the side of "men look for real women". Nearly every man i've ever had a relationship has always preferred me without makeup. Just last night I had this discussion with the guy I'm seeing now. he said that while I look more professional with it on, i look cuter with it off and that he prefers it off. It's interesting cuz i think i look gross with it off LOL

It's definitely nice to find the men the like the you they see when they wake up, not the one you need to spend time "applying". Oh and for the record, I'm blonde. My boobs are real "and they're fantastic".

In the queue for what, Noos? There are different ones thankfully. One is to catch a man's eye, indeed, and those we'll always have the starletts in front at, the other one is to catch a man's heart though and on the subqueue that includes IQs on both parts the ones you mentioned aren't even allowed to stand in.
