Lets try this again.

Let's try this again. When I ask what type of women you envision when you are speaking of women on this forum, I don't mean what particular woman do you find attractive specifically. I mean what attributes do you envision?

Example: This woman has healthy, shiny hair, an ultra-feminine build, makeup, and refined features.



This girl actually does have shiny hair, but it's unkempt. Her features may be slightly less than average feminine but still feminine and she has the illusion of a large bone structure due to her weight and thin lips, but she probably actually has an average bone structure. She's either wearing some light makeup or has naturally good coloring.






This woman has average hair which isn't so shiney or healthy looking. She has an average feminine build, is wearing makeup, and her features aren't as refined.



This woman has frizzy hair, her build seems average, her features are not refined and she isn't wearing makeup.



This woman...well yeah that's a pretty ugly pose, but other than that, she has healthy shiney hair, more masculine features, but she is wearing makeup.



And for the grand finale...

Here is a before and after. This woman has average features, an average build, and before she has damaged hair and isn't wearing makeup. After, she has "repaired" shiney hair, and is wearing makeup.

Before:



After is at (it won't imbed)

So I am speaking of attributes. Not really a specific woman who gets your rocks off.

I don't think they're going to understand what you mean even if you hit them in the face with a frying pan.
They seem to be taking the celeb pics literally.

I already posted a pic of what my dream gal would look like in the other thread.

No particular attributes.

Wait, that's a lie. They have female parts as opposed to male ones. They wear women's clothing and have longer hair than mine. That's all I can think of.

Decent answer.

I don't think i've ever broken women down the way you have. Especially their faces because i've got facial blindness, prosopagnosia.

I think of typically long hair (at least down to their chin) and a curvy body. I definitely think of them in silhouette. Where as I think of the silhouette of a male's head as definetly more boxy, defined jaw line, ears, larger neck almost the width of the head, groomed hair I think of a women as almost featurless in their silhouette due to hair styles.

Eh, I'm still not sure what you're asking here. Do you want us to replicate your post and embed a bunch of pictures with accompanying text listing which features of the woman in the picture we supposedly envision when we speak of women in a general sense?

Because I can't be bothered doing that, to be honest.

I don't really understand the question. Just about any of those women would be fine for me provided they actually like me... Except maybe that one with the news ticker underneath it, but that's most likely just an unfortunate snapshot (Jon Stewart does that kind of "wrong moment" pictures all the time, it's very easy to pull that off if you have a video of them talking), so I wouldn't pass judgement until I saw the full video.

And that brings me to my next point: pictures don't tell me enough. I need to see how they act, what they're like in behavior, before I can really come to any conclusions. Even I have a list of behavioral attributes that I would prefer in a partner: moderately religious (but not a fundamentalist), non-judgmental (especially if she desires sex), and is outgoing enough to take the lead in certain situations, but not too much so (since I have a hard time knowing how far is too far in these situations, and what lines should not be crossed). I wouldn't know any celebs that would fit all three of these attributes (only one i can think of off the top of my head that would come anywhere close is Taylor Swift), but the point is moot since I don't know any celebrities and don't plan on knowing any in the near future.

Interesting. What methods do you use to recognize people?

In the other thread you said you're attracted to half of the women you know (or something along the line). Perhaps a better question that OP could ask would be: how is the women you're attracted to different from the women you're not attracted to (assuming they all have gender-appropriate parts, wear women's clothing, and have hair longer hair than yours)?

I'm not asking specifically what type of woman they are attracted to.

I'm with willa on that... facial recognition has always been a problem for me. As per my above post, I tend to go by behavior. Each person has distinct behavioral qualities, and it's a simple matter of getting to know them, as people. That may also be why I don't judge based on generalizations. (yes, I may have generalizations, but I don't let those impact my opinion of an individual...)

Yes, but the women he's attracted to have attributes the women he's not attracted don't have. When he thinks of "women," he's likely to think of the ones he attracted to.

I've always recognized people by their hair. Kinda like I was saying, the silhouette of people's head is very recognizable to me. When people change their hair I hate it. I also get wierd looks cause a lot of times i'm not paying attention when talking about actors/actresses in movies and when talking the movies people are in I'll start describing them by their hair in each of their movies.

It's something I did before I even knew about prosopagnosia or that i really had it (which occured after I moved home after having lived far away for a few years, having had no encounter at all for so long from family then coming back and realizing how truely foreign and unknown to me they were and my complete inability to recognize family and friend)

The silhoutte of people is actually a lot more recognizable than most people think. I actually heard Matt Groening talking about it once, he said it's the first thing he looks for when developing a cartoon character, that their all around silhoutte is unique and he went on to ask if people could draw the silhouette of the Simpson characters, just the outline of their heads. The vast majority of americans can draw Bart, Lisa, Homer and Marge's silhouette better then they can nearly any state. And anyone reading this familiar with the simpsons i'm sure right now can very clearly picture them as well.

I don't really understand what the question is. Maybe it's because I have never been able to recognize differing facial features.

I'm not quite "blind" in this area, but I struggle with it a lot, so I thought I'd butt in and answer your question.

I recognize people by distinguishing characteristics (such as if they always wear a certain article of clothing, if they have orange hair, or if they have a lip ring or a prominent scar or something along these lines), their general body shape, posture, and the way they move. I also find voices and speaking styles easier to recognize than faces, so that can help.

The first method can be quite tricky. For example, I once didn't immediately recognize a friend I'd known for three years (and dated for eight or nine months) because he was wearing a new hat and was not wearing his trademark jacket.
