What makes a person good looking?

I've noticed that when it comes to men it's more about what's inside rather than what's outside. Don't get me wrong, being physically attractive definitely helps, but at the end of the day a lot of women would take a below average looking guy if his personality was good. Men tend to be found attractive if we're confident, goal oriented, and passionate about something.

Meanwhile women tend to be treated the opposite, where looks comes first and everything else is looked at secondly.

I've seen some chubby awkward looking dudes with really cute girls simply because their personality is just super likeable.

- brunette, longer hair
- symmetrical face that is more pointed towards chin as opposed to round face
- big dark eyes
- thin, but toned body (I don't like THICC)
- tan over pale
- full lips
- big smile, nice teeth, dimples kill me
- tight ass, but with some hips
- tits that aren't too big, but a handful. I don't like mosquito bites either but I would rather have small tits than real big ones. Perfect would be like a C cup

The question is specifically about what makes someone good LOOKING though, the question itself is focusing on physical characteristics

But those traits makes a person good LOOKING according to me. Without them they're ugly as hell, even if they would be a 10/10. Just focusing on physical characteristics is pointless and shallow to me.

as bad as Danny Zuko in gym knickers
It's mainly: youth plus health plus hygiene what makes people attractive. Oh and social status (money) for the ladies.

Self confidence helps a lot. The rest is both genetics AND choosing a matching haircut/facial hair that improves your face qualities.

For instance, i look better with facial hair than without because even though i'm 37, i look 15 when smiling without it with my current haircut (kinda long mohawk). It makes my head rounder.
It's all about balance.

Symetrical faces are ugly for 99.9% of people. Nobody has a symetrical face btw, at least not naturally.

It's of course highly subjective, but there are well documented trends that hold true actoss eras and cultures.

Broad symmetry (although full symetry ends up in the uncanny valley) and features that follow the golden or silver ratio.

Healthy looking, both in complection as well as a decent fat to muscle ratio, with more of both on men.

It would also seem we prefer paler women and more tanned men. Every race on earth shows this discrepancy in the average skin tone between it's men and women.

Women on average look at their best between their teens and early 20's, men generally in their 30's to 40's, although this is obviously dependent on their aforementioned other qualities for both.

Confidence, stance, demeanor, status and voice also play a part of course, but this is more in the realm of broader 'attractiveness' rather than purely 'good looks'.

Is it just the proportions of their facial features? Are there any people considered good looking that have big noses in relation to their face size? I doubt it
There are lots of people who think Adrien Brody is attractive

Look at that damn schnoz. Even when he's trying to be a sexiboi it's all you can notice.

My fantasy is that my girlfriend was actually a young high school girl.
In our building they had castings and sometimes models would come in. Really good looking people, model level ones are like aliens, totally different species to the rest of us 'common people'.

I used to have such a narrow view of what I thought was attractive.

Now? Well lets just say I cast a rather wide net.

One of my ex girlfriends thought he was really hot and I brought up the same thing. She was like oh no the nose kind of gives him a dignified look not many men have. So maybe buying one of these is the ticket to improving one's appearance?;

Whatever you do don't mess with your eyebrows.
It's remarkable how the condition of these little strips of hair can transform a person's face.

I still can't believe thin eyebrows were a thing back in the 90s.

I'm right yup... Facial symetry does NOT exist in a regular person.

But keep your medieval beliefs all you want dude and keep wanking to strippers i guess.

You know we can see your previous posts right?

You said symmetrical faces are ugly - I said I disagree and provided 2 articles about the attractiveness of facial symmetry. Are you going to address the articles and what is inaccurate with them? Or are you content to just knock down the straw man that you built when you changed the object of debate from symmetrical faces being attractive to whether facial symmetry exists or not?
