I think men and women are both selective, but each looks for different characteristics in the opposite sex.

most women for instance don't look for huge bazongas in men

Money. Confidence. Pick one or both if you want women.


I lift weights for me. I don't give a **** what anyone thinks about it.

Ya? Prostitutes aside, how much money would I need to make to consistently get women 2 inches taller than myself?

Look at Robert Pattinson. Just named "Sexiest Man Alive" by some trashy magazine a couple hundred thousand women likely read. In addition, scores of teenage and twenty something girls fawn over him to no end.

It's to the point where I believe he had his abs sprayed on for one of his movies, he's that thin and non-muscular, and yet they adore him. How much of that is due to his status in the Twilight movies, I don't know, but it merits thought.

Ya OK. That's why skinny guys like Zac Efron, David Beckham, Orlando Bloom, etc. are all dominating the sexiest men lists, right?

Being built like a pro boxer ftw.


Pro Boxers aren't exactly what I'd call being "built". Usually they are just very lean, but they don't have a ton of mass (no hate, because that's a similar look for what I'm going for, just saying that they aren't "built").

This is actually pretty dumb. I know a ton of girls who like fat guys. Different strokes for different folks. Like me for instance, I'm an ass man rather than a tit man.

Why the ladies love Robert Pattinson His movie character demonstrates two qualities which women find irresistable: Danger and Chivalry. It has to be both, not just one or the other. He's a bad boy with good manners and makes the object of his affection feel safe, while being scary and dangerous to others. This article describes the same, except with much more verbage http://www.associatedcontent.com/art...ght.html?cat=9

I think it's pretty tactless to classify people based on their favorite female body part.

'Tit man' and 'ass man'. I think stereotypical frat boys at least have a bit more class than that.
