What attracts women to men physically

What attracts women to men physically?
Do women care about physical looks?

Women,just like men, care about physical looks however the main difference between men and women is that men put a much higher weight to physical looks while women look for other factors.

A man can determine whether he likes woman or not from the first meeting while a woman might need some time before she can assess other factors. (see Why women reject me)

In this article i will tell you what attracts women to men physically but before i do that i must tell you about a common misconception that most people believe in.

Most people think that women look for a partner who is as physically attractive as her. This misconception is rooted to a research that said that people look for partners with similar attraction levels.

While this research is true still most people didn't realize that attractiveness extends to include many other factors other than physical beauty. So to put it in the correct way, women are attracted to men who have a similar total score to them and the calculation of this total score includes many items other than physical looks. (see also Attracting someone into your life)

So what physically attracts women to men

Below are the things that physically attract a woman to a man:

  • Height: Women are more physically attracted to tall men than short men because this makes them feel psychologically secure. The good news is that you still have a chance to attract women even if you were not tall. Once you manage to satisfy the woman's need for security in any other way other than your physical looks then she will be attracted to you (see Women attraction psychology)
  • Shoulder's width: Women don't care much about guys with bulky muscles however they are physically attracted to men who appear more masculine. This means that relatively wide shoulders, narrow waist and relatively muscular body makes the man much more attractive to women.
  • Facial features that attracts women: Facial features that indicate the pretense of more testosterone attracts women physically. A wide jaw, prominent check muscles and all other features that make a face more masculine attracts women physically.

You can still attract women physically

What if you had nothing of the the previous things, do you still have a chance?
yes the good news is that you can still attract women.

In the psychology of attraction article i said that total attractiveness is calculated based on many factors apart from physical looks such as social proof, status, familiarity, cultural factors, childhood experiences and physical proximity.

Yes physcial attraction is important to women but there are many other factors that you could use to compensate for your low physical attractiveness.
