It’s different on different women. Any body part can be their hottest.

But if you mean the body part most important in determining attractiveness, I’d have to say the face. But there’s a lot more leeway there than people seem to think, given all the “butter face” claims I see. (And I don’t just mean at celebrity level.)

It’s a package deal. Different things for different people. I also have a kind of weird affinity for women’s necks and even their ankles, I don’t know why.

Faces probably dominate, though.

Not regarding the question I was interested in asking.  
Feel free to open another thread/poll with however options you want if you are interested to find out if gays self-selected of this board of different genders answer differently or if gays and heterosexuals of the same gender answer differently, and be sure to add in options for each possibility of gender fluidity as well. To me 15 options is already leaning to too many and those are not the questions I was interested in for this poll.

Hmmmmmmm. None of them are deal breakers or makers. A nice head of hair can go a long way in cancelling out any less attractive traits, but a bald headed guy with nice eyes is yummy too. Obviously the OP couldn’t include every body part but I’m surprised to not see men’s shoulders on the list. And forearms. Grrrrrrrrrrl;) I’m a woman, BTW.

Arms are there and includes the forearms.

Well, I once noticed that every guy I’ve dated has lovely lush eye lashes. So I guess it’s eye lashes. Or maybe eyes.

But really, the guy has to be a package deal, and a guy who is smart and funny just looks better somehow than a guy who is rude or dumb.

Women’s faces. Really, is there anything more wonderful in this world than women’s faces? Not that I’m impervious to their other bodily charms, but a woman’s face is by far the most beautiful and interesting part of her body.

I went with stomach, but in all honesty it’s a tie between face and stomach.

I am female and I am attracted to a man’s shoulders. The kind of shoulders you see on a swimmer would be my ideal.

So maybe women are disproportionately answering “other” but yes it appears so far more heterosexual males are interested in answering this poll, and of them face currently leads butt the bottom is coming up from behind! (I missed the point that the bottom was abreast with breasts …)

Oh, crap, I voted wrong. It’s definitely face for me. I can’t be attracted to a woman unless I’m attracted to her face. I don’t really care about the other parts, but I’d say butt, legs, boobs, in that order.

Other: _ **Eyes** _.

Technically part of the face, but a beautiful set of eyes can completely change an otherwise ordinary, or even unfortunate, face.

I mean, yeah, I love a nice breast profile, and nicely rounded hips are sweet, not to mention the loveliness that is a pair of well-turned legs, but eyes… Well, they speak of the soul.

The correct answer is . . . her SMILE.  
Which means I have no imagination, because I had to choose Other.

A smile isn’t really a body part, _per se_, but I know where you’re coming from - I served with a woman of whom you could _feel_ her smile from behind you. I mean, your classic megawatt smile, blasting you with illumination.  
Didn’t hurt that she had some _seriously_ amazing eyes. 😉

Straight male, chose “other”. Visually, I’m a big fan of boobs. Any size from A to D, but with that nice “S”-shaped profile to their upper contour which often is ruined by implants. Some faces are a turn-on in themself. And I really enjoy the sight of a nice butt.

But any of those turn-ons are effectively neutralized if the woman is - or tries to seem - stupid. Particularly if she plays the bimbo role, I just hate it if people try to look more stupid than they really are. So I guess the most attractive body part of a woman is her brain. If she’s witty, intelligent and caring, and we have shared interests, her physical features are less relevant. At least if I want to do anything else than ogling her without talking to her.

No, for some reason, I didn’t think of “face” as a “body part.” Don’t ask me why. So when I saw “butt” I clicked on that, only to then peruse the rest of the options and see face on there.
