Huh. That explains a lot. One of the things I loved about my last boyfriend was how comforting it was just to smell him.
Have to disagree with fivecents on some of the attractions: I don't like a hairless body. I'm not gay. (I don't like a furry body either, though). I don't care as much about clothes on a daily basis, although I do notice if a man has put a little extra effort in. I DON'T want a false smile. If you smile when you're not happy, you're lying. I do agree that cleanliness is important, though: fresh sweat is good, old sweat is bad. Cologne is bad. If you don't smell right without the cologne, you won't smell right with it either.
Likes: medium build, medium height, medium ammount of body hair; a bit of a gut is ok, but soft all over is not. thick dark or red hair, dark eyes. Excellence at *something* is a big turn-on: a graceful martial artist, a brilliant mathematician, whatever. If you excell at it, it's hot. And he should be able to keep up with me when I go a walk, or train in the dojo, or try out kayacking, or whatever. Fetish: pointy canine teeth (not like vampire-pointy: just a little moreso than average).
Turn-offs: Endurance-runner thin or body-builder muscled. Those guys on the cover of 'muscle' mags are just gross. Bad smell. More than a decade older than me. Born-again anything. etc...
Wow
You're pretty hard to please! You know, you can get a dog, and that way, you can 1) have his fur shaved to the perfect length for you, 2) he's excellent at BOTH playing fetch AND licking your feet, and 3) he can most definitely keep up with you when you walk. 4) Also, you can kick him out of the house when he's "bad", in whichever way you define the word. 5) And, he's got the canine teeth! 
6) Also, they're available in both dark and red hair.
Seriously, you may prefer a pet to a man.

Wow, did you know you're onto a medical fact here? There was a news article about a clinical study six months ago that reported that men's sweat actually relaxes women. Sounds like a rather bizarre study to pursue, but anyhow, it gives us one more reason not to rush past our ladies from the gym to the shower. Give her a break, guys! She deserves it.
edit: medical "fact" based on scientific theory
been studied for years

I don't think she's being picky. She said "likes," not "will not consider a relationship without."

Well, much as I love my pets, I like men as well.
Hard to please? I just said I like 'average' in just about every way! They don't have to hit the exact midline; I'd just prefer that they're not at either extreme (with the sole exceptionof teeth, which I mentioned).
I will add, though, that I prefer men who like pets as well. Again, not hard to find.
Also, a fantastic voice makes up for almost any number of other physical faults: a good enough voice makes my knees turn to jelly.

Not safe. Seriously. You have no idea
what someone under the influence of
serious emotions is capable of, if you think
that you can judge so easily. It's about the
same as the effect of PCP.
i dont withold the possiblity........ and honestly, i have been pleasantly surprised

Oh, that is too hilarious!
But I really do like men who are handsome and don't know it. Once they figure it out, they're insufferable.
I'm only halfway kidding.

I'm only halfway kidding.Oh, ditto for girls. Most definitely. I live in the heart of one of the materialistic capitals of America. The common look on women's faces here is the fashionable frown.
There's a law against beautiful people smiling here. The problem is, we think we're L.A. -- fashion means everything. When my ex-wife moved from her hometown of Austin up to Dallas to go to college, she said she immediately felt like a frog among women, because every woman wears expensive designer clothes. Whereas, in Austin, people wear anything and everything.
