Dear Nidhi, The most important trait, according to me is athletic body shape. An athletic body signals good health. It also certifies that a woman can bear children and defend her offspring. The second most important trait is an attractive face, mainly focused on the mouth and eyes. A sensual mouth, which was favored above attractive eyes, is probably popular for men because a woman’s lips are thought by scientists to have evolved to mirror her genitals. Therefore, full red lips are a signal of sexual arousal. Large, infantile eyes are known to spark protective instincts in men. This is why mascara, eyeliner and eye make-up has been popular since antiquity. Men also slightly prefer lighter colored eyes. Also, research shows that contact lenses give the look of glistening eyes and dilated pupils, which men find `strangely attractive`. The third aspect of females that men find attractive is her breasts. It doesn’t seem to matter about their size or shape, but most men like to see cleavage. The fourth attraction is long legs. It appears the long legs aren’t the attraction, but the attraction is more because a female’s legs attract attention to where her two legs meet, since long legs are also a sign of fertility and youth. The male attraction to long legs is also a reason for women to wear crippling high-heeled shoes. High-heels, makes a girl’s feet seem smaller and legs seem longer. Men preferred women with round, thick legs because extra fat is a symbol of femininity.
