Men self-purported to have
Studies have shown that men prefer women with longer-than-average legs and a higher leg-length-to-body ratio. Men's interest in women's legs may explain the preference for tall fashion models. Admiring a woman's legs might have mostly to do with innate attraction to the sensual, rather than the more explicitly sexual.
Straight and slender legs are considered especially attractive, say researchers because they combine fragility and strength.
A new study shows both sexes prefer mates with longer legs.
As long as they are not attached to a lycra-wearing cyclist, women find longer legs more attractive than longer arms, according to a study carried out by Cambridge University scientists. This is because having legs a bit longer than average may be linked to strength and good health.
Research involving more than 200 men and women revealed that people whose legs are 5% longer than average are considered the most attractive, regardless of their gender.
The body shape that men generally find attractive in women has a waist-to-hip ratio of 0.7. That's the ratio of a 70cm waist and 100cm hips, though the study found that size wasn't as important as the proportions. Men like curves.
Facial symmetry has been shown to be considered attractive in women, and men have been found to prefer full lips, high forehead, broad face, small chin, small nose, short and narrow jaw, high cheekbones, clear and smooth skin, and wide-set eyes.
When a guy does that most of the time it means that they're interested in you. If they do it right in front of you they are hoping you see it because it is basically a gesture that means they want to talk to you or think you're physically attractive.
On this (latter) metric, the most attractive ratio of leg to body for men (as seen by American women) is 1:1, matching the 'four heads:four heads' ratio above. A Japanese study using the former metric found the same result for male attractiveness but women with longer legs than body were judged to be more attractive.

It's probably a sign of sexual attraction, as well (legs, and particularly thighs, are often found attractive by men), but again, expressed in a more laid back and cuddly manner.
For men, touching a woman's thigh can be sexually arousing. But it can also be a way of expressing other emotions, like affection, protection, and even fear. Next time a guy grabs your thigh, pay attention to the context and see if you can figure out what he's trying to say.
Men like your long hair for the same reasons they like high heels and dresses; because it looks feminine. Long hair affords the wearer far more variety than shorter styles.
A man in love tends to lean his shoulders towards his love interest. It is one of the indications of adoration. If he leans his shoulders towards you when he's close to you, he's romantic and cares about what you have to say. He will lean in and create a space that incorporates you two.
Men also tended to look at a woman's chest and hip regions if they were showing romantic interest, which Bahns noted aligns with previous research that says this is due to men's evolutionary focus on women's ability to reproduce.
Men cited women's faces as being their most attractive attribute by 46%. In second place, women's butts came in at 18% followed by hair at 11%. Legs, breasts, eyes, and others composed the remaining 26%. While I'm not surprised faces came in first, I am surprised hair ranked higher than legs, breasts, and eyes.
Top hourglass body shape
Considered to be the most attractive body shape, this is very similar to hourglass body shape, except that in this case the curves are more defined.
In a HerCampus.com survey of over 100 college women across the country, a majority ranked arms as the biggest turn on. Women feel it's a sign that you take good care of your body and admitted they love to see a hint of a man's biceps through his t-shirt or sweater.
"When men were evaluating a short-term mate for a one-night stand they showed equal interest in her face and body instead of the face winning by a blowout." For long-term 75 percent of male participants wanted to see the face, but for short-term flings 50 percent of men chose face and 50 percent chose the body.
The fact that women have muscles is as natural as breathing; for many men, this is the most attractive feature of the female body. Men adore a body that can support a strong personality. They are especially attracted to strong, capable sexy bbs and muscular women.
Most men don't care much about some cellulite
In fact, most men cannot even “see” your cellulite, as they can't “see” your new haircut, dress etc.
