Hair: Dark (black, dark brown)
Eyes: Dark (dark brown)
Hair: Short, long or in the middle... makes not much difference*... as long as there's hair (Don't want them to be balled )
Figure: Athletic (What is "Lean"?)
Skin color: The darker, the better (But in some cases (as above picture) the lighter color is ok also
"Asian" facial features (east asia, South East asia)
*Though in some cases I defently prefer short hair (Anyone seen Ghost? Demi More's haircut is perfect for her)

Shorter than me (6'5"+ girls are a rarity anyway ), though still tall (5'9" -6')
Light brown, dark blond hair
Green or blue eyes
Athletic figure (only girls I really consider are athletes, but not the musclebound ones, rather the rangy).
Caucasian really, but mainly because the above features aren't really found in any other

I can't begin to describe a perfect make. Looks wouldn't be my primary concern. Obviously, I would have to find her attractive, but personality is the selling point. There isn't a race or ethnicity that doesn't contain beautiful women.

I didn't mean that as a slam.

In my experience, most hispanics, while having mixed blood, exhibit more or less one set of features. Many exhibit more, but then of course, they are not the only group that does: there is a reason that many Indians (from India), Arabs, and Mexicans can be confused for each other: that they live in areas were significant mixing has occured.
Overall I am surprised that blonde hair has done so poorly: I guess the notion that all gentlemen prefer blondes is not very acurate.

i'd like to know the ethnographic breakdown of the members on this forum. my guess is that it's majority caucasian, which yields the high preference for caucasian features.
if it were not majority caucasian, however, one could ask the sociological question as to whether or not white has become the basic notion of physical allure.

Freud would say we all foster Oedipal fantasies, so therefore we find women similar to our mothers attractive. Since our mothers are no doubt the same race as ourselves, and the majority of people being caucasian, it's not a surprise we would select caucasian features.
but Freud was a coke-head... what does he know?

Figure: Athletic (What is "Lean"?)

Lean is basically standard: for example, kristin there would count as lean: what one looks like with enough moderate excercise to not start going above your ideal body weight: now, some people are naturally curvy (which is why this is a different choice, though curvy does not assume overweight in any way: yes, I did not include overweight as part of the choice for ideal mate, sorry to the chubbychasers). Athletic assumes clear, if not pronounced, muscle definition: what you get from being an athlete like a runner or a cyclist or so forth (muscular is for people who do muscle sculpting and wieght lifting)

as for what sava said, i'm asian, but born and raised in america in the south. i've seen just as many african americans as caucasians, and yet i tend to find asians and caucasians more attractive. i know fo' sho' that my momma ain't white, but what accounts for my finding caucasians attractive as a whole?

Perhaps whom we find attractive is a way for our genes to tell us: hey moron, this would be a great genetic pair! (just a thought).
I also grew up in an extremely diverse place and do find individual with more caucasian or asian features more attractive than those with black features , specially the nose ( I like thin noses, not broad noses), but of course it depends (a great set of eyes is just captivating) on the whole package.

Besides implants, I think bust size is increasing in general (sexual selection at work): certainly black women are more curvy than white women in a general way.

everything requires a balance. i don't like big breasts--they just have to be appropriately proportioned.

it's been suggested that for this reason, women are attracted to men whose scent differs slightly but distinctly from their own father's--it's a sign that their immune system is quite sufficient, but also different enough to provide gain.
attraction is such a funny and strange thing, and is notoriously hard to peg. symmetry is beautiful, but not too much symmetry. curious, nee?

Well personally, I like women of all creeds and colors. I tend to like darker skin tones rather than pale ones, however. But in the end, "the one" will be someone whose personality clicks with mine.

obviously. but isn't the point of this poll to ascertain what appear to be the most popular attributes for physical allure?

Yes: as I stated, polls have limited spots. If anyone wants a "personality" poll, go ahead and make it.

Thx for the info... then I'd vote "Lean" aswell...
As for the genes talk:
I'm white, born into a very white world (where most around here are also blonde), but I defently prefer girls to be "not-white" and "not-blonde"
Would actually be an interesting poll: "Do your ideal mate come from the same ethnic group as your self"

i take offense to calling whites who like asians fetishists. thats just one step above the old US saying, "niger lover".
it's simply what i find attractive. so bite me.

There's a difference between being a "white who likes Asians" and an "Asian fetishist", Uber. The fetishists have a certain view of Asian woman as docile and demure playthings that they can do anything they want to, a view that I find sad and somewhat offensive. Hopefully, you don't like Asian women for those kinds of reasons.

I noticed that only 7.58% of us voted for someone TALLER than ourselves. I wonder if we're the shortest people on 'poly.
Also, the following numbers:
Skin Color: Dark brown (4) 6.06%
Skin Color: Black (2) 3.03%
suggest that there either aren't that many dark-skinned people on 'poly, or there aren't very many willing to admit it.
Also:
Figure: muscular (0) 0%
WHAT THE F IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!? Didn't anybody see XXX with Vin Diesel? He's SO HOT!

Well st_swithin, you could always vote in the poll shift those number a bit. I assume most female and gay members of our pop. may not be voting at all. Though the female portion is very small.

How about no?
I'd want someone shorter than me, I'm 5'6''.
Red Hair, Blue Eyes
Long hair is hard to find nowadays! Most women have short hair.
Full figured.
Fair skin, though probably with a mix of facial features.
Interesting to see how this matches my g/f.

yeah it's a bugger when they're looking over your shoulder as you post.
actually i've already met the ideal bird for me (phyiscally), she's shorter than me, about 5'5, 5'6, short very dark brown/black hair, green eyes, white (of course)and has lovely knockers

Thankfully she's not, though I'd be interested to see her real answers.
She does not have long, red hair, but rather short brown hair. I guess I don't care all that much about hair.
Eyes, though do seem to make a big difference.

Well yeah, but if you're not physically attracted to them in the first instance you're less likely to find out about their personality.
As for st_swithin - most people voting will be men and heterosexual. Most if not all men like their women shorter than they are (and at 6'5" I am one of them). And as for muscular, I find it reduces feminity whereas athleticism accentuates it.
I do believe you're more naturally attracted to people from your own background. I am Dutch, and even without knowing, I quite often end up chatting up a disporoportionally large amount of Dutch and German girls here, just from pure physical attraction. I do not find most Africans attractive, and the ones that are to me will have caucasian features. In personal space (ie not pictures, tv etc) I'd wager that things such as pheromones might be attuned to a certain genotype, just as certain HLA alleles are more predominant in certain ethnic groups.

The only thing that matters to me, looks wise, is a girl being full-figured and curvy. I need at least 20 pounds of booty, these little skinny girls don't cut it.

Hey man!
I don't know what it is. I'll take any hot babe, but there must be some statistical fluke where more than average of the hot babes I see are Asian. (Maybe I just need to view more hot babes )
