Breasts like a large pear, cut in half and turned sideways. Eyes that both trap my gaze with their depth, yet shine brightly with their own light. Lips that smile like roses covering babies breath. The curve of her stomach turning in on itself through her hips, then flowing through her legs to the floor. ---

Mmm… women. hard to single out a part, isn’t it? Personality aside (which is really hard considering I’m a package-man - great combination of personality and physical features does it) these are features I look for, listed in descending order of importance: -Harmony (good overall proportions) -Those little hipbones sticking out in front -Ass -Eyes (to get lost in) -Smell (yes, smell. She has to smell right) -Waist (including that yummy slope on the back) -Stomach (flat but soft) -Hair (color irrelevant with a slight preference for red) -Neck -Breasts (xs to m, firm with small nipples) -Legs -Skin -Shoulders (along with the way she carries herself) ---

Of course, brains, personality, sense of humor, compassion, and all those other super-important non-physical qualities come first. Next for me would come facial features (eyes, smile, face). But I’m reading the OP as purely interested in the superficial, sexually-charged parts. However, even with this restriction, I find it incredibly hard to ‘just pick one’ part of a woman. Breasts, legs, ass, stomach, hips–they’re all great and I could wax poetic about every curve, plane, line, and cleft of a woman. “Had we world enough and time,” as Andrew Marvell said. But time’s winged chariot draws near, and this is supposed to be a quick poll, so I’ll say that probably most arousing for me is the more intimate, between the legs area. I admit it, I’m a pussy-man. The look, the smell, the taste, the touch, nothing gets me hotter. ---

I think I am an ass man becuase people are always saying to me “Your an ass, man.” But seriously I just like women. I like most everything about them. I find a lot of different women attactive for different reasons. I find a pretty broad , pardon the pun, range of women attactive. I can break them down to parts. things like “Whoa look at the rack on her.” But I think appriciate would be the best word. I appriciate all types of women for what, and who, they are. It would take me forever to list the part I like best because there are a lot of parts to like and also different women have different features and combinations of features. Okay now I am just thinking about body parts on different women. Eyes, legs, breasts, that curve on the outside of her hip, Okay I gotta go . ---

Face man. Although B’d probably say I’m a breast man. Hey, I see 'em in front of me, I reach out and touch someone. Can’t very well blame me for that:D ---

A friend of mine woke his girlfriend up by talking in his sleep. He was repeating the word “titties” over and over again. I think that qualifies him as a breast man 🙂 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Cartooniverse \* > \*\*You want a side of curly fries with that, **Dave**?? 😉 \*\* Why not? As long as you don’t SuperSize my order. 😛 Seriously, though, if I were placing an order with Babes Unlimited for the perfect physical specimen of womanhood, my list would be almost identical to **that.sound.again** ’s. It didn’t seem worth posting it, again, but here ya’ go. (Again, in order of importance, and sticking strictly to physical characteristics.) \*-Harmony (good overall proportions) -Smell (yes, smell. She has to smell right) -Eyes (to get lost in, no color preference) -Stomach (flat but soft) -Ass (shapely, not flat) -Skin (soft, smooth) -Legs (again, shapely) -Neck (also shapely and, preferably, erogenous) -Waist (including that yummy slope on the back) -Breasts (slight preference for xs to m, firm with small nipples) -Hair (preferably a color nature makes, and HEALTHY, not abused) -Shoulders (along with the way she carries herself) -Hand (unmangled and chewed, graceful, with decent, not overly long, nails) \* Not much difference, right? ---

Spot on, **Davebear**. Nice to know I’m not alone though it implies we’ll both have to work harder, what with competition and all. And if you don’t care for the hip bone part I’ll just keep those for myself, thank you.😉 ---

We just described pretty much every female model (except the emaciated ones) for the last twenty years. So, there’s a LOT of competition. 🙂 ---

Well, I must say in the beginning that it was my wife’s eyes that got me. But that was probably after I’d checked out other features. Besides as this applies to the OP, I think that is a cop out. > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by AHunter3_ > **The cute little v in the front of the pants, framed by the swell of hip, perched atop the legs, riding below the waist and belly button. Yeah, right there.** To me **AHunter3** has perfectly described the fact that it is a total package. One compliments the other or unfortunately can distract from the other. My feelings on breasts is that they should not exceed a C-cup. Larger than that they can also distract from the package. Even an A-cup is alright with a drop dead package. I do suspect that some women are still in the training bra size, which might be a problem. [ul][sup]**Some posts have seemed to imply that this is going to require a commitment. Personally, I’m constantly checking out the gals and could care less what their personality is; if they have a sense of humor or any of those other highbrow qualities. I ain’t taking em home.**[/sup][/ul] [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-kind-of-man-are-you/179406.md?page=3)
