Whats the most important thing lookswise to you in a girl?
just asking because i know some very pretty girls who are kind of heavy and they get way less attention from guys to the thin ones who might be much plainer. Do most guys go for figure over face?


Most guys yes, but not all of them :wink:. My GF bra size is 36F, so she's not huuuuge but she's not thin either, but she is very very pretty imo :smile:

well i'm not a guy but from what i've noticed guys tend to go for figure over face only if someone has an *amazing* figure.

other than that, provided there's nothing off-putting about a girls figure (such as being really really fat or stumpy or whatever) a really good face and ok figure tends to get more attention than someone who's plain but thin.

Thin does not always equate to a good figure. in fact, often it doesn't. so yeah, as i've said, i think it tends to be figure over face only if the figure is AMAZING.

and anon guy, you can't say that most guys go for thin girls over those with pretty faces because many many guys' *ideal* figure for a girl ISNT thin. so a good figure in their opinion won't always be the skinny girl. not sure if i'm making sense here, but hey.

A ballance between the two aspects is what I would be interested in ; do not exclude the moral/character aspect ,that is maybe more important . The only problem is that as beauty lies in the eye of the beholder ,it's the same with your question's answer .

Figure isn't too important to me.

The main things that tend to stand out to me are a girl's hair and eyes...but I always become friendly with the girl and get to know her personality before considering taking things further.

Sorry, but if you really do try to turn your figure into one that matches that of these anorexic TV personalities then that's your own fault...
There's nothing wrong with thin girls, but when they're, you know, THAT thin, then it's just not as attractive...and what's scary is that models in particular keep their figures like that and young girls strive to look like these models.

I'd say there was pretty equal weighting on personality, figure and face. Roughly, I'd put personality higher than both and probably face about figure.
If a girl 'lacks' in one, she can more than easily make up for it with the other two. One could probably counter two being not so great either, but it's a qualitative thing that's difficult to explain and situation dependant. I probably come across very shallow trying to explain my personal view, but I wouldn't say that's the case.

Well I usually go for small girls. That is, short and also petite, or thin if its possible. But more often than not I take whatever I can get. Chubbiness means nothing to me. If she's a nice girl, with nice eyes and a nice smile, I go for it.

Height (5"8 + for me anyway) , healthy weight (just not skinny or overweight) clean, smart, funny.

Personality is probably the most important. But on the other hand, I wouldnt fancy a girl who was overweight and had a nice personality, do you see what I mean? There has to be some chemistry.

Depends on the bloke but for me the key thing is personality.

A nice kind girl just keeps getting better looking, every time you look they seem to look better, even though they can be quite plain looking in most peoples opinion.
A horrible bitchy girls just get uglier every time you see them.

face over figure. you always have to look at a girls face, but not always at their body. everything else is totally personal taste. most normal lads like a well built girl, not the anorexic skeletor-lookalikes that think they are ****ing gorgeous, when actually they look like a walking sack of bones. im not saying fat, im saying well-built, by the way. fat is also a bad thing, if there is too much of it.
