Some people really focus on the face, others focus on the curves, some think the hair is the most important, while others may have a foot fetish. Personality will also matter a great deal, but in this attractive women survey, we will only focus on the physical attributes of women.

Here are five key factors that affect physical attractiveness in women.

Attractive Women Feature 1 – Face

Larger, rounder, eyes give women a more vulnerable look.

Eyes – The eyes are windows into our soul.

Eyes come in many different shapes, colors, and sizes.

Larger, rounder, eyes tend to give women a more vulnerable, submissive look.

Sharper eyes or cat-eyes, give the appearance of a more powerful, assertive woman.

Eye color also matters. Blue or green colored eyes are traditionally more popular because they are more rare compared to black and brown eyes.  

Lips – Lips can be full or thin.

Currently, there is a greater preference for fuller lips in our society. Fuller lips may appear more attractive in women because they are more sensual and indicate greater passion in bed.

Many of our female media symbols of today, including Angelina Jolie,Jessica Simpson, and Jessica Alba, sport fuller lips – either natural or acquired through plastic surgery.  

Face shape

Finally, the shape of a woman’s face is also a key feature in determining attractiveness. The heart-shaped face is usually considered to be most attractive. Audrey Hepburn is a good example of a very attractive woman sporting a seemingly perfect heart-shaped face.

Women with squarer faces are generally deemed less attractive because a squarer facial structure is associated with a more masculine face. Oval-shaped female faces lie somewhere in-between the two.

A woman’s breasts are definitely one of the key features of attractiveness.

Breasts are a good indication of fertility, therefore evolutionary wise, larger breasts are preferred .over smaller ones.

Even for men who may not prefer larger breasts, larger breasts will still naturally catch their attention. Women’s breasts occupy a prominent position in their bodies, and men are hard-wired by their DNA to notice a woman’s breasts.

Given advances in plastic surgery, it is now possible for women to get whatever sized breasts they desire. This practice results in the unrealistic feminine ideal of today which is larger sized breasts combined with a narrow waist and a very slim build.

Attractive Women Feature 3 – Hair

Some people find long hair to be very attractive. Longer hair requires more upkeep, but it is also very flexible when it comes to styling.

Women with long hair can create a variety of different looks just by styling their hair differently. Wearing long hair down will better frame the face and also hide imperfections in facial symmetry.

The shorter the hair, the less flexibility a woman has to create a different look for herself. However, shorter hair is easier to maintain, and some people prefer the younger, more pixie look afforded by shorter hair.

Shorter hair will not hide facial-shape imperfections though, so it should only be attempted by those who have a more symmetrical face.

Hair can also be straight or curly. Curly hair will have more body, but is difficult to style. Curly hair can often appear unkempt if not properly handled. Straight hair is easier to style and keep neat, however, it can also look flat and limp. Clever blow-drying and use of hair products will help to provide straight hair with more body.

Attractive Women Feature 4 – Build

A woman’s build also affects her attractiveness.

Smaller, petite women are usually in high demand because societal norms dictate for a man to be larger or taller than his mate. Petite women, therefore, have a greater number of possible men to choose from, including shorter and taller men. However, petite women have a much harder time keeping a slim look because of their lesser height.

Taller women may have fewer men to choose from but they have a greater advantage in achieving a slim, willowy, and more refined elven look.

Our current society places great importance on slim or even thin women. Larger women are considered less attractive due of many years of negative media depictions.

Finally, how a woman dresses and wears her make-up can also have a significant effect on her attractiveness.

Some women prefer to go for the understated, less is more look. Very light make-up with cooler clothing colors (greens, blues, grays).

Other women prefer to stand out, and will go for the more striking look with heavier/darker makeup, hotter clothing colors (reds, yellows), and more flamboyant clothing styles.

Accessories can also significantly alter a woman’s look. Larger earrings, for example. will catch someone’s attention and draw his eyes to her face. Belts can be used to break up the torso, and create a more segmented, shorter appearance. High heels can provide petite women with greater height and so on.

Accessorize carefully to complement your weaknesses, and enhance your strengths.
