What makes us attractive?!

What makes us attractive?

What do you find most attractive in a girl? What makes you want to come over and talk to us? What makes you drool? Spill! but only serious answers ;)

Obviously, most answers here will be "it depends" and "everybody is different." Sure, that's basically true, but there ARE statistical norms that apply -- i.e. there have been studies done that demonstrate what PRIMARILY or for most people makes the opposite sex attractive.

New York University researchers have found that to be found attractive, a woman had to move in a feminine way - swaying her hips. Men, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences paper found, were more attractive if they moved with a "shoulder swagger".

The research also confirmed the waist-hip ratio measurement is key to attractiveness, with women's attractiveness being rated higher if their waist-hip ratio was small and men's being higher if their ratio was large. The ideal waist-hip ratio for women is to have a waist measurement which is no more than 70% of their hip measurement.

Other studies have added that "symmetry" is important to attractiveness. That is that men and women both are more attracted to people whose faces and bodies are more symmetrical.

Women with prominent, large, eyes are considered more attractive than women with smaller eyes.

Men with broad shoulders have been found to be generally more attractive to women than men with narrower shoulders.

Facially, women are found to be more attractive with a smaller lower face and jaw, because estrogen caps the growth of women's faces, making the eyes appear more prominent, etc. With men, the opposite is true with testosterone driving the growth of the lower jaw and chin. Women find strong jawed men to be more attractive.
