Well, boys can have full lips too, and Ms. Jolie did not always look as busty as she does now (I don’t know if she had work done or if she just got some different bras, although I know she was padded out for _Tomb Raider_). In some of her early films she also sported short, boyish hairstyles.

No androgyny for me - I like women who look like women (Sophia Loren, Daisy Fuentes, etc) and men who look like men (George Clooney, Jake Tanner, etc.). ---

I find androgynous women to be most attractive. Mind you, I’m a lesbian. I love the combination and contrast of feminine and masculine. That’s not to say that I wouldn’t ever find someone with a more fleshed-out figure or more traditionally feminine features attractive, but androgyny is very sexy to me. ---

Women need strong jawlines and eyebrow bones to be androgynous to me. Some (like Grace Jones) I find attractive. Others, not so much. ---

> [@ralph124c](#): > > …,maybe the short hair/high cheekbones? > 🆒 If you mean like[this](http://www.waveney.demon.co.uk/whoswho/Servalan.jpeg) then I’m in your corner. I’ve always liked the Audrey Hepburn types with short dark hair. The picture is Jacqueline Pierce from an old BBC science fiction series Blake’s Seven. ---
