This question rhetorical, right?

OK. I look for intelligence, but looking good adds to the attraction. That's why I look for it.

Looks: I don't like makeup. I don't like girls who look ok but are very out of shape(this is a bit complicated here); I like girls who may look very "plain" but are clearly in shape. Tanning your skin to look like one of those hot dogs in the case is revolting for me. Dying hair is fine by me, as long as it is not dyed red. natural red hair is attractive.

Most guys (aspie or not) seem to not like makeup right now. Some girls seem to be catching on to this.

I'd rather go for a sexy face and an ok-good body than a plain face and a hot body.

I have been told many times that im "hott" I would much rather "cute" or "pretty" but no thats not the way society works. Many guys just want the hott girl to parade around, though I think personally they have a thing for the quiet girl that sits nexxt to him in AP Bio that always gets A+'s and hardly ever talks. Thats my theory. There is more to it but it would need censorship.

I'd rather go for someone with a good personality, than their looks. Personality is the most important.

Is it not said that as a person gets older, if they have an ugly personality, they become ugly?

hmm. The first question I want to ask is how old are you? It's seems people are more attracted to "better looking" people, but only people with intense immaturity would tell people about it or make fun or be nasty to someone about it to their face.

I'm assuming these people are around 13-17, when people act like that. (to be honest, an age group I can't really be bothered with)

Those people are entitled to think that but maybe when they get older they'll relise that you just don't say that to people. *thumbs down*

Anyway, to answer your origional question, I will say this.

Humans are animals. The dominent animals always get the most mates, it's a matter of gene selection to ensure the best possible genes for their offspring.

Humans don't relise this on their usual brain level, but their animal magnetism sees someone they like, and their primitive brain kicks into thinking that person I want to mate with as they have the best genes.

What determines what "good genes" are in humans is a mystery, as skinny blondes don't have any more chance of survival than normal people.

*Perhaps things like having a healthy looking body make the primitive brain think that the person has good genes?

*I don't want anyone to get offended by this as it's my theory about why this happens. Not saying there's any facts to back this up for humans.

Actually, I am working on a hunch here. The first thing we assume is that there is a general preference for young women, on the account that prior to modern medicine they were most likely to survive childbirth. Now assuming that most caucasians start off blonde before their hair darkens, being blonde means one is perceived as being younger; while this can create a "mental age" discrimination in the form of "dumb blonde" jokes, it means that in fact gentlemen prefer blondes for all purposes mating. As is with long hair; the ability to grow it is a sign of good health and therefore reproductive viability.

Uniformly, I seem to fall for really high academic acheivers. Whether it's the Ivy-leaguer or the valedictorian, they are generally considered smart beyond their peers. However, they also generally seem to be quite attractive; this makes things ever so worse in terms of I am so used to rejection...I know several nice girls, but again there's the whole fact I usually perseverate on a single girl I never notice when somebody likes me. Gahh!

I like good looking girls too. But each time I Ask one out I get shot down or rejected. Like in the case with Lindsay she stood me up and kept me hanging,.

Well you have to ask MORE than just one out, coolblues. If I was introduced to swimming in a sewer for the first time, I wouldn't get a good impression of it would I? Or maybe I would keep going until I found a nice beach to swim in. I'd probably find lots of bogs and swamps along the way too and try them out. Hmm, where am I going with this? I'm going to work now.

Women exist to keep the race going and keep men from killing each other off. Imagine a world of only men. Great for the vaseline and munitons industries but not much else.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but if a women is attractive in other ways, the ones that should count more, it is more fun to have a lover who is also beautiful and nothing wrong in wanting that either.

I am really tired of the prejudice pushed on many aspie lists that an aspie woman has to be a dog. Not true nor necessary.

Don't lump me in with the rest of the people that happen to be of the same gender as I. These are the basic undeniable facts of life:

1. Life sucks, deal with it.
2. Most men are womanizing pigs, deal with it.
3. Most people want to see you fail for their own amusement, deal with it.
4. You will spend the majority of your life either depressed or blissfully ignorant, deal with it.
5. People will always give advice that they can't follow themselves and it will always contridict the advice the person before gave, deal with it.

Are you seeing a pattern? If anything you might get lucky and things may work out to be alright. I hope for your that it does, because that's the most I can do.

I have been told and approched on multiple occasions that I am very attractive. Then they realize that there is something inhearnatly wrong with me and look for the closest avalible exit. I still have a hard time comprehending phisical attractiveness though.
