Is it her beauty, brain, or body?

A while back a guy friend of mine said what makes a female sexy is her mind. Of course, I laughed and told him that he could not possibly be serious! Sarcastically, I questioned how a complete stranger, without speaking to me, could just look at me, and “see” this sexy mind of mine. He replied that a “sexy mind” is illustrated in the way you carry yourself, or your “swagger”. What I got from it was, if you’re confident in how you think of yourself, then it will be manifested in your mannerisms and how you interact with the opposite sex. Deep enough, but for some reason I didn’t feel that all men felt that way. Would the average guy actually pass up a “D”-average bombshell, for a “plain Jane” brainiac with high-self esteem? The gut feeling in me told me “no.”

A more accurate way, to learn what guys,particularly, the men of PVAMU, look for in females was to take the question to the streets. What do PV men really want? In a survey of PV male students ranging from ages 18-35, out of a choice between “beauty”, “body” and “brains,” 53 of 100 guys said that the #1 thing that they looked for in a female was her “beauty.” Thirty-seven stated that first they preferred “brains” (intelligence), and a mere 10 out of 100 stated that a female had to have a nice “body” (figure).

Apparently though, the answer is not as cut-throat as some of us may want to think. There is not an ends-all, be-all answer to what all guys look for in a girl. Josh Johnson, creator of the web site, “What Men Are Really Thinking” explains,” It really depends on what we want from the girl. If we just want a short-term relationship, we go after the best-looking woman we can find.” “.we want someone whom we can have sex with and then show off to our friends. If we want a long-term relationship with someone.we will still go for an attractive woman over one who is less-so, but when we want to be with someone for a long time.we tend to go for good personalities.”

Further, Sex-Info, a website created and directed by the University of California at Santa Barbara, lists four criterions that men desire in female partners. They suggest that men ultimately look for youth, physical beauty, body shape, and good personality. Not all psychologists agree that this theory offers a complete explanation of what men want, but some find the logic quite attractive.

Despite this though, it must be remembered that not all guys are the same. What does it for one guy, may be a complete turn off for the other. Some guys believe that a beautiful face or a great physique is a must-and there’s nothing wrong with that-while others may mostly prefer being entertained with stimulating conversation for hours. So there is no ultimate answer to what all men want, but it doesn’t hurt to try to find out.
