    here we go!
    as being a limo driver alot of the time i drive for bachlorete parties
    and yes they do go to the male strippers to OGEL and by the
    conversations they have when they come out they look at more than
    brains, eyes, clothes, etc.....
    
    when most of the ladies are out with the ladies they are just like
    the men out with men and as i said before almost all of us like
    to look
    
    frank
    

I'm not clear about your base note.  Do you want heterosexual women's
opinions about what is sexy about men?  Or do you want to know what is
sexy about men according to the people who are attracted to them? 

Just askin'...


							--Ger

    
    I'm never on the make ;^)
    
    But...if I were...
    
    I'd notice the man's hair color and overall build.  Dark hair and a
    leaner athletic build...not too tall (6' is the max since I'm only
    5'2").  I don't go for the "incredible hulk types".
    
    Next I look at his face.  Does  he smile?  Eye color is unimportant
    as long as he makes eye contact often.
    
    After that, being able to carry on a conversation longer than 10
    minutes is essential!  This is when factors like intelligence,
    sense of humor, openness, honesty, interests, etc. really matter.
    
    All the glitz is gone when a man can't relate to me as a person.
    As a result, very few men I've dated actually look like the above.
    The other factors end up being *much* more important than looks.
    
    But you asked what women look for when on the make!
    
    		Sherry

    
    come on ladies every limo run i've done with girls night out. if it
    the club circiut ot the male strippers i have never had a group of
    ladies come back in the car and say boy that guy i danced with had
    nice hair or boy was he smart or he can really carry on a conversation
    they usually mention buns, chest, eyes, and some even say large hands
    so lets hear the real stuff you look for.
    
    frank

    The real stuff I look for, in order of its attention getting priority,
    and weighted in percentages for its vitalness in my attraction, is:
    
    Intelligence 30%
    Creativity 25%
    Warmth and Honesty 20% 
    Attractive eyes 10%
    A sexy back 5%
    Proportional body (not perfect, proportional...) 5%
    Long hair (an added benefit, but not necessary) 5%

	 RE: .0

	 First off, I resent your statement about "being on the make."
	 I'm never "on the make".....I rarely pick up men in bars.  I
	 don't go man-hunting.  "On the make" sounds like I'm slinking
	 around hunting down someone to have sex with.

	 Pardon me, but that's not "me."

	 Anyway..what am I ATTRACTED to, you say?

	 Comfortable communication on any subject
	 Caring, concerned and attentive 
	 Expressive eyes that let me see his thoughts
	 Someone who's main goal is NOT to bed me
	 Well-cared for hair (prefer long..but most important is
		softness)
	 Well-proportioned (not too large, not too thin)



	 kath

    
    If you resent "on the make" that's ok, but you probably still look.
    
    You can cover it over with suger and make it look good or
    you can be earthy about it and just say right out what
    turns you on and what you say to other woman about it.               
    
    Great replies so far, I'm learning a lot of value goes into intelligence
    and conversation....

    I almost forgot...  If  he is smoking,  he doesn't get a second
    look.  If he lights up, it's a *huge* turnoff for me.
    
    Re Frank...  I gave a lot of thought to what I notice first...
    In a room full of men my eyes are drawn first to hair color,
    next to overall body shape, and then to the face.
    
    	Sherry

    Umm.. I agree with Kathy, I'm never "on the make", and the only time I
    tried it (quit laughing Kathy and D!), I made a complete shambles of
    the WHOLE thing :-)... even though technically I was successful :-)

    What do *I* personally look for...

    Well, I would never kick a Chippendale out of bed for eating crackers
    there :-)...  but realistically...

    I like a man that has a brain...  looks might attract me, but if he
    isn't intelligent, he won't find me around long. No smoking...  I like
    a man who can appreciate a good glass of wine (although I don't drink
    it, I like it on his breath)...  If I go strictly for looks, which I
    tend to very often *not* do,  he'd have to look EXACTLY like my
    hairdresser...  Tall, extremely hairy chest, muscular, blue eyes, brown
    wavy hair...

    On the flip side of that, give me a balding man anytime, and I'll
    melt...

    On the other flip side, a man my height, weighing slightly less than me
    is also enough to make me melt...

    If he smokes, he doesn't get a second look, and if he can't act like a
    man on a date, he'll find the evening cut EXTREMELY short if its a
    first date...  

    I tend to like the men that know how to be a man, and how to treat a
    lady like a lady...

    
    
    
    
           First thing I notice:
    
    
                                His face. He has to have a
           pleasant face. What I look at most on the face is
           lips and eyes. I love full lips. Also on the face that
           attracts me: whiskers (not a beard, but stubble),
           nice white teeth, glasses are nice, too.
    
           Those are the traits I notice when just "checking out"
           a man. Not necessarily when looking for a boyfriend.
    
    
           If it's a potential relationship:
    
    
                                 What I need is a man with character.
           Someone very different. And along with that personality
           and intelligence. It's hard to describe. But, if a man is
           a "10" in the looks department, but lacks in character,
           forget it.
    
    
                                  Also, (if I might add...) I happen
           to like dark hair and a well-toned build, and lots of height
           (I'm talking 6'4"+), and long hair....but, my boyfriend has
            very blond hair, has a "belly", is 6'1", and has short hair,
           and his personality is very unique, and he has lots of 
           character. That's what makes him. So, I'd say undoubtedly
           that physical appearance is what first thing that attracts
           alot of women, but, it's the other qualities that keep the
           attraction going.....

	 Hahahaha...I can't help but laugh, Gale!!!!  you HAVE to
	 admit, it was funny.
	 
	 

	 "Looks" on a guy are pleasing....and sexy.  But
	 attractiveness is a whole 'nuther ball game.  I would never
	 DREAM of anything more than a casual glance at a guy that was
	 sexy yet didn't fit my "attractiveness" mold.


	 kath

    I notice posture as an indication of the sensuality of the man.  
    When I'm on the make, I'm attracted to the guy who stands tall and 
    leans easily on things.  I don't know how else to explain it.
    
    Once in college I came out into the kitchen to meet my date and he was
    standing there with his forearm up on top of the refrigerator. 
    Whattasite!  I like the casual sophistication that you generally find
    in people with either money or intelligence.  The quiet man in the back
    with the knowing grin - that's the one I'll notice.

    The guys who catch my eye vary widely in appearance, from the
    classically gorgeous (not too many of those, actually - if they're
    _too_ "pretty" I don't find them interesting) to some really
    goofy-looking types who happened to have an appealing twinkle in the
    eye. I do tend to focus on faces first, especially the eyes and mouth.
    As for other body parts, well... I have occasionally paused to admire a
    pair of wide shoulders, moderately well-muscled, encased in a T-shirt
    or a work shirt - but if the shoulders are topped with an unintriguing
    face, my eyes will wander onward.
    
    I've never understood the fascination some have for "buns"; I don't
    find them either interesting or exciting to look at. (While clothed and
    in public, anyway!) Same goes for the, um, other side of the pants, if
    you get my drift; if the rest of him doesn't attract me, I have no
    interest whatsoever in the contents of his jeans.
    
    If I were at a male strip show, would I look? Sure - but I have this
    strong feeling that I'd find the whole thing funny, rather than exciting.

    I didn't know it was called "mowing the lawn" either.  I've heard a few
    other colorful euphemisms (some of which are available on George
    Carlin's humorous tape "Carlin on Campus" - where he goes over the 7
    words you can't say on the radio and then some).  Then there's the
    off-color joke about using the euphemism "doing the laundry", but
    that's not really appropriate here....

	Do you mean "mowing the lawn" or "*mowing* the *lawn*"  ??

	And if "*mowing* the *lawn*" == sex,  should I be careful
	about complimenting people on their self-propelled mower?

    went to mow a meadow, 
    one man and his dog, 
    went to mow a meadow.
    
    Two men went to mow,

    Re .0, what women look for in a man:
    
    Physical Attributes:           Examples:
    
    Cute Face - (Tom Cruise & Matthew Broderick both have cute faces)
    
    Nice Body - (Bruce Springsteen, Kurt Russell, Patrick Swayze, 
                 Harrison Ford, have nice bodies) 

    Great Smile - (Tom Cruise has a great smile)
    (Good Teeth)
    
    Awesome Hair - (Jon Bon Jovi has awesome hair)
    
    Stylishly Dressed - (The Edge, Keith Richards, Rod Stewart, Tom
                         Petty, Mick Jagger, Jon Bon Jovi, Bono, Axl
                         Rose are usually stylishly dressed.  Daniel
                         Day Lewis at the Oscar awards was stylishly
                         dressed.) 

    Non-Physical Characteristics:             Examples:
    
    Brains -            (Woody Allen, Spike Lee, Einstein)
    
    Witty -             (Robin Williams, Billy Crystal)
    (Good sense of
     humor)
    
    Zest for Life -     (Indiana Jones, Rhett Butler)
    (sense of fun)
    
    Compassion for others - (Martin Luther King, Jr., Ghandi)
    
    Left-wing Political
    Views -                 (Bono, Neil Young, John Lennon, Karl Marx)
    
    
    I've noticed that it's difficult to find all of the above in one
    man, though.
    
    Re .0, regarding your question, What do women talk about or say
    when a goodlooking man comes on the scene:  I usually turn to one
    of my girlfriends and say something like, "Jesus, I wouldn't mind
    jumping his bones, huh?"
    
    Lorna
    
     

    
    Sonny Bono is not merely left wing, but a limo liberal.
    

    re .56, what's a "limo liberal"?
    
    I wasn't talking about *Sonny* Bono!!!
    I was talking about U2's Bono!  (I hope you realize that!) :-)
    
    Lorna
    

    
    Bagelry has nice buns (kaisers, actually)....
    
    

    Re .58, I am most susceptible to a cute face, but I admit that "nice
    buns" never hurt anybody.  The prime example is Bruce Springsteen's
    "Born In The USA" cover.

    A poem by W. Farrel sums up what I look for...............
    
    A Man Is Good For........
    
    Taking out the garbage
       and carving up the meat;
    For driving when he's exhausted
       and I want the passenger seat;
    
    He's good for changing a light bulb
       and, oh, yes, for changing a tire;
    For taking the top off an uptight jar
       and chopping wood for a fire;
    
    He's good for steering a car through fog and
       fishing with our son;
    For raking fallen leaves and
       making up bad puns;
    
    For spinning ghost stories to the kids
       ("Make it scary...but not TOO scary!")
    For telling the children the quarters were left
       by a magical tooth fairy;
    
    For reaching back into a cupboard high
       while his fanny sticks out far,
    (As he removes a rusty waffle iron

    For watching Monday Night Football games
       and acting like he's the winner,
    For taking me to restaurants and
       reflexively paying for dinner;
    
    For letting me stick a snowball down
       into his private part;
    For giving a head start in a race
       (he's really just a kid at heart!);
    
    For riding roller coasters, saying he's
       glad I was born . . .
    For coaching the kids at baseball,
       for returning to mow the lawn;
    
    He's good for painting houses
       and for renovating a flat;
    For keeping me warm when it's freezing
       despite one less layer of fat;
    
    But most of all he's good for coats
       he puts around my shoulder,
    For the way he swings our
       daughter about, for how he stops to hold her;
    
    For the way he says, "I love you"
       with his strong but tender hugs,
    And, oh yes, men are good for . . .
       killing spiders and swatting bugs!!

    What I look for in a person: Intelligence; sense of humor; sensitivity/
    understanding; easygoing personality; sincerity; good physical shape; 
    pleasant voice; affectionate; nice eyes, smile and hair.  Dimples and 
    freckles are a plus.

    deb (who is not helpless, thank_you_very_much...)  8-}

    "What do women look for"?
    well, per .79, A grunt!

    
    I look at a man's neck first (too many vampire movies).  Then his
    forearms.  If a man has strong forearms it's a pretty good bet
    that the rest of the bod is in shape.
    
    Before I get blasted, yes this is a purely physical description
    that has nothing to do w/the human inside.  
    
    This is what I *look* for, it's the person inside that *keeps* me.
    
    
                                     L.J.
    
    

    
    1. His Eyes (eyes are very important even if you want to 
       know more than obvious things like only look etc.)
    
    2. his voice (for me it's very important, because if the
       voice is ugly to me the whole person doesn't interest me.
       Also the kind of talking and how do you express yourself has
       something to do with voice.
    
    3. How is he dressed
    
    4. The whole appearance (smart etc.)
    
    These are the most important points to me when I see a man
    I could be familiar with.
    
    C.

	It's most definitely eyes....but it has to be more than just
	eyes.  He has to know how to use them......that sly, twinkling
	look, mischievous, teasing.......  eyes can say a LOT of things,
	and someone that knows how to use their eyes can make me melt! 8-)

	kat

    It's funny, for my theory is that being short-sighted is quite an
    advantage. When you forget your glasses somewhere, the constant
    twinkling when trying to focus the other person (which, with my 3
    dioptries is quite hard except at VERY short distances..) is a sure
    path to cause interest. Problem with this approach is that YOUR
    perception of the other person resembles something you normally
    associate with impressionistic paintings like the ones from Renoir or
    Monet, which could be risky...
    And wearing glasses tends to underline that mischievous look, too. Must
    be the slightly magnifying effect of the glasses.
    Forget contact lenses! 
    Besides, studies in Israel's army showed that short-sighted men, in
    average, are deliverers in the IQ department, too.

    glasses...ick. I've seen very few people look more attractive in
    glasses.  Most people ('cept James Spader {see this month's GQ cover})
    look "bookish" in glasses.

    Strong forearms, yes.  Sometimes they are enough to sent shivers up my
    spine no matter what the rest is like (body and mind).
    
    The eyes next, the ability to look at my face (not other bits!).
    
    Above all a sense of humour.
    
    Quite frankly, I am not turned on by, neither do I ogle a man's bum
    unless I know him well.  It just seems too intimate and makes me
    uncomfortable.
    
    Mind you, I have no problems ogling a bare-chested well-built man!

re:  .86, then .87

E Grace

    re: .89
    
>or me!
    
    How do we know that to be true, E Grace?!  8-)

          Back to the question at hand...

          What do I notice when admiring God's creation, in particular
          men?
          It honestly depends on where I am...

          For example:

          At_the_Beach

          A hairless chest and strong looking legs and arms are the first
          thing I notice from the back or front. It doesn't hurt if it is
          nicely tanned either.

          At_the_Office

          Well-groomed men draw my attention in more formal surroundings.
          This includes everything from his hair to his clothes to his
          hands. And I actually find glasses on a man very sexy!


          At_the_Mall

          A pair of Levi's only help to emphasize a nice backside. That
          is what I notice when coming up from the back. Hair and eyes
          (colors don't matter) are what I notice when approaching from
          the front.


          That is what I notice when *admiring* or *looking* at a man,
          but it is not what I care about when *interested* in a man. I
          wouldn't be human if I didn't look at all those handsome fellas
          in the world!

    RE:  87 & 89!
    
    Okay Okay !  8)
    
    I take it back. Everyone who wears glasses is sexy, suave, 
    attractive, etc etc. ESPECIALLY attractive are people who
    wear those lab glasses, you know, the ones with the thick
    black plastic frames that were popular in the 50s...
    Yea, those *really* turn me on!  
    
    Kate

    Yearrrg, I didn't mean those glasses... glasses can be a damn fine
    "accessoire" to look real smart...
    Anyway, they can be damn inconvenient, too, especially when both
    partners wear glasses and they try to passionately kiss... or when
    you're kissed and the thought crosses your mind "dang, I'll have to
    clean the glasses afterwards!"...
    Still, good to see there's another believer in glasses, you won't
    regret it, welcome to the world of high IQs, intellectuality and
    mischievous glances... :-)
    ...Paul

    
    	I'm in between on the glasses issue. Some people look really sexy
    	to me with them, others I feel look better without. I haven't found
    	any rule for it that I can tell... 
    
    	Several of my friends in the clothing retail business have glasses
    	with just clear glass in them that they wear out when they want
    	that sexy intelligent or comfortable toned-down look. Just one of
    	their many fashion accessories...

    re: .95
    
    Along those lines, you can also pick up colored contact lenses to match
    your outfits..."Honey, should I have blue or grey pupils tonight?"  
    
        - Larry  :-)

    re .94 Whispering "take your glasses off" or reaching up and
    slowly removing her glasses can be verrrry stimulating :-)

	Well.......I wear glasses and I like men who wear glasses.

	I've got gold framed glasses for when I wear gold jewelry,
	silver framed for when I wear silver jewelry, three pairs
	of plastic framed glasses..and a pair with red frames for
	when I wear red.  I started to wear glasses when I was
	28 years old......and they have become a part of my
	fashion accessories.

        Alas.   .    .according to the polls, I suppose the long hair
        (4" - 5"  past  my  shoulders),  torn jeans (so bad they need

        Jody and Kathy,
        
        Have no  fear.    I  only  wear suits when the occasion DEEMS
        such.  As for  cutting  my  hair, NEVAH !  I hate the idea of
        looking like the `All American  Male', let alone doing such a
        thing.  (No offense to `All American Males' out  there.  It's
        just NOT for me.)
        
        If  anyone  knows  what  Mark  Slaughter looks  like,  I  can
        guarentee my hair will be that long by  next spring.  My perm
        is not far away.

we can get back on topic.

 Shave it.

Kath,
Go long!

	I suppose I'm safe this time...



	We decided to let my hair get longer, he shortened the sides and
	we're going to go a body-wave to give the top some fullness next time
	(so it can grow long and still look decent).


	I hope you're all satisfied.....however, I DID walk out with a
	new hole in my head.

    I wonder how often I've heard female friends tell me "Today I'm going

    different"... Heck, it seems they always chicken out when they see the

    to me, crazy and daring is changing hairdressers!  Those scissors
    always make me quake :-)
