More weight is given to the face than the body when considering a long-term relationship.Researchers showed men and women pictures of the opposite sex in rotating sets. Sometimes the study participants saw just head shots, sometimes just body shots, and sometimes both right next to each other. After a complicated set of calculations, the researchers were able to determine that while each physical trait contributes to overall suitability for a long-term relationship, the face is more important to both men and women.
With men, this flips when they were asked to rate the pictures for a short-term relationship.
Of course, to really get an accurate account of what men look for in a short-term relationship, researchers should first get the study's participants drunk.

That's one thing I agree on, Another is intelligence before beauty because beauty fades, but great conversation lasts forever.

the face isn't the person. who wants a dim witted gorgeous male or female unless one is insecure. look at your answer again and think about what it says about you!

that is so sexist and insecure. there is more to someone than the face, i've dated more gorgeous guys than i can count. the good ones are the ones you get to know. good looking or not.

I married somewhat late at 30 years old so I did have a good deal of pre altar experience. Since I was born with a very stocky overly muscular frame and stand 5'8" and consequently although medium in stature I appear to be a very big man in body depth when standing in front of a 5'4" lady friend. This seemed to compensate for not being 6 feet. My modus operandi in every case was to get to know each other first. This is good insurance when it comes down to business.

I am seeing one after one, celebrities, singers and politicians stepping up to advise us why they think we dislike each other.I do not see any political science degrees or polling backgrounds in this significant group. Credentials aside, maybe these futurists believe they are mind readers of the American people and can speak for all of us.

Jack Black? I would agree, the face is more important.

that is exactly what an alpha male would say, who is sexist and only looks at the surface, i know i use to be that way. the more handsome the face made my insecure ass look better. Nobody wants a guy they have to push away from the mirror. sure attraction is the first attraction, but learn who that person is. I've been out with more gorgeous idiots than i want to remember. I'm looking for someone who is spiritual (NOT RELIGIOUS).

Imagine this. You see a gorgeous woman's face. Scroll down and her body's kinda lumpy. Or - this used to happen in the High Desert of California all the time - you see some HOT woman in shorts, from the back. She turns around and she's a toothless hag, a speed freak. Which would be the more appealing?

The following observation concerning physical perceptions and how relationships between woman and men are affected in first meetings and in furtherance are related to my experiences only.I honestly found when I was single when milk was 30 cents, that the female gender are far more accepting of body types and perceived flaws in their prospective or eventual mates. If a woman is fond of a man and he shows interest in her and makes her laugh and treats her well, she tends not to bean count
the man's frame. Men see an abdomen or grandma arms and they do a sprint.
