Hmm. I think they eventually look at both. Sometimes My Man will say he's attracted to a woman I don't seem to think is "pretty" but he'll have some comment about her boobs or her butt or something like that. (Explains the rather insulting "Butterface" phenomenon.)

I tend to look at women (and men's) faces first, but I'm a hetero woman, so I think it's different.

Does this mean I don't have to spend as much time on my make up? Yes, they really are all staring at my chest. *sigh* It's what My Man always says. "Don't worry about your make up, for God's sake,they're all staring at your tits anyway."

Despite being a card-carrying heterosexual, I recognize that I may be a lesbian in a man's body. Like Sigel, I do notice a woman's eyes and smile before anything else.

I had always known that I wasn't "normal," but that was humorously driven home one day when I was talking to other male colleagues about a new woman who had been hired. After ten minutes we realized that the woman with the lovely blue-gray eyes and melancholic smile and the woman with the large breasts was the same woman.

Yeah, I hadn't noticed anything below her face. So shoot me, already.

My thoughts exactly

I always enjoy your posts, so I am really happy that mine gave you a laugh.

Give my best to my sister brothers, or my brother sisters ... whatever.

Being a Male, From what I have experience through my life, is that I first notice a woman's body, but it's not because that's all I'm interested in, It's simply that's the first thing I see. That being said I can be attracted to a woman's body but that doesn't mean anything if they don't have a good face, simply I will remember a woman's beautiful smile longer than I will her body.
But this is just me, I wasn't the most popular guy during my high school years, I played football and so on but when I met woman I always noticed there face, in particular their eye's.

I totally agree, I will notice a woman's body first but the face is what make's or breaks the physical attraction, and overall it doesn't matter how beautiful you are if that's all you bring into a relationship. Brains is a definite must, I need to be able to hold a intelligent conversation with my spouse. But this is all based on a relationship standard not a one night stand.

Yeah, seems like common knowledge to me.

Sounds kind of bad I suppose but it's true...

It makes sense when you think about it though, men find the body to be more important to them initially because the face has not a whole lot to do with having a healthy baby.

We're wired to look at hips and boobs. I'm not even a boob guy but I still look at them just because of instinct.

I have a pretty hardcore foot fetish, though, so I find myself mainly looking at a woman's legs when I'm attracted to her. The same still holds true though, the face is a secondary thought to me more often than not - the face doesn't seem to come under much scrutiny for me anyway until a long term relationship may be in the future, however.

Perhaps it's the idea of having to look at somebody for years to come that makes us remember that there's a face attached to all those yummy parts.

I watched a show about the science of attraction once a while back. They attached pupil tracking cameras to a few guys eyes and showed on the camera what their eyes were looking at as they walked by attractive women at the club. All of the men scanned the women they passed up and down from head to toe twice over, and were able to decide whether or not they wanted to sleep with them within that amount of time - according to the doctors and scientists. The show was clearly able to prove that while men do look at the entire package, they only remember key points that they see as important to healthy reproduction.

Very very true. But I however, am not like that. I look at her brain, heart, and soul FIRST. That should be what's most important about any date, long term or short term.

Well I've heard in studies that the reason a man looks to body's over faces is because of the underlying desire to procreate. They are attracted to fertile healthy looking body's. I am a man, who is happily married. I do appreciate a nice body, and my wife has a perfect one to me. However, I would much rather have face over body, unless there are extreme cases. I do want to be physically attracted in all areas. So if I were single again, I would choose the girl 30lbs overweight with a gorgeous face over the little hard body with a not so nice face. I appreciate beauty, and love a beautiful smile and eyes. This make me think of the term BUTTERFACE from back in the day. "Dude, she has a banging body, But her face! "
