In general terms? We all have preferences such as dark eyes and hair/blonde hair and blue eyes…but equally we can mostly distinguish between attractive or not…

Whats your attractive?

Someone who doesn’t focus on looks, but appreciates others for who they are

Weird question

I think average and attractive aren’t necessarily the same thing.

Is the title of your thread wrong?

Which question do you want us to answer?

I think most people are average if going purely by societal beauty standards... but if you spend some time, most people also have a little spark about them that will appeal and make them more attractive.

Could be passion about a hobby, a wicked sense of humour etc.

On paper I think over 6ft, dark hair and slim men are attractive.

My husband is the complete opposite and I adore him.

I have met several men who are my "type", but their spark didn't appeal to my spark (okay, I'm sounding weird now) haha

I think that attraction is extremely complicated and individual and based on everything from our past traumas, our upbringing, our cultures and many more things.

I will add that I've never met anyone that I thought was ugly on the outside until their insides influenced my opinion.

I'm a bit confused by the thread title. Is it supposed to say attractive instead of average?

Impossible to answer as it's relative to the demographic in question, with age, wealth and location all playing a part. You could be considered extremely attractive compared with one group but very much below average compared with another.

Pass the looks obviously personality. Someone genuine and not influenced by mainstream culture.

DivergentTris · 09/09/2024 07:02

My attractive is someone who does not focus on this type of thing - big turn off for me.

On paper black hair and green eyes. Slim and toned, several inches taller than me. I prefer a man in an expensive good fitting suit, can’t stand dirty clothes or tracksuits and trainers or hoodies or what I consider basic clothes. I’m attracted to someone who smells nice, not necessarily overpowering aftershave but definitely couldn’t find anyone attractive who didn’t wash themselves or the it clothes. Clean teeth and nails. Short nails. Forearms-toned forearms do it for me.
I don’t like thick gold jewellery either.
Oh and someone who is attentive.

Average what? Strange thread title, I could probably tell you what average pay is, it's about £36k
