juldeaSo Match.com has a new Physical Attraction test. Kinda neat. At least a good waste of 20 minutes. ;)
It's official: You're "picky." The fact is you are drawn to the most handsome of the handsome. You know what you like in men and are more selective than most women your age. Your tastes seem instinctual. You'd make a great casting agent, because you have a good eye for men who have "star quality." In real life, your high standards may be an obstacle for you. It's hard to find a man with the strong features you like, who's also well-rounded in other ways. Still, you know the importance of a real physical "spark" in a relationship, and aren't willing (or able) to settle for less. The challenge is finding a man who really wows you physically, even if he's not the most handsome man in the room.
Based on the photos you selected, you are interested in dating men somewhere between ages 20 and 35.
A Caucasian man's skin tone and hair color did not appear to have any effect on whether you found him appealing or not. 40% of the Caucasian men you found attractive had fair or light skin. 20% of the Caucasian men you found attractive had blonde or light colored hair. (I did pick overwhelmingly caucasian men over asian, hispanic, or african american - but I did pick some from each of those categories.)
You especially liked a pattern scientists refer to as "Ectomorphs." Geometrically, they are similar to triangles, because they are widest at the cheekbones and then narrow to a relatively pointed chin. Ectomorph men are said to have "angular" features, including a chiseled nose and prominent cheekbones. Historically, these faces have been viewed as distinguished and were often found on European royalty. These men also tend to have lean builds. [And, you may want to watch out for those ears, since on true Ectomorphs, they tend to stick out a good bit.]
Your ideal body type is probably the body in the drawing and photo below. Scientifically, this type is known as an "Ecto-Mesomorph," which is a fancy way of describing lean, muscular men. These guys ran track in high school and still may run marathons every year. Their narrow body frames and long legs support tight, sinewy muscles. He has a prominent chest and the V-shaped torso that some think is the "ideal" male frame. He even had a flat stomach and nice abs at some point, but like most of us has put on some extra pounds. The good news is that you seem to appreciate and even prefer guys with more realistic, natural bodies. He has long arms to wrap around you, and love handles to hold on to! These men make up around 20% of the single population. Keep your eyes out for signs like narrow necks, Adam's apples, angular or chiseled facial features, flat butts, and relatively long arms and legs. At about 5'10", they tend to run about 152 pounds.
You seemed especially interested in men with brown eyes. In the test, you may not have even noticed eye color on a conscious level. However, those smoldering brown eyes apparently stood out to you on an unconscious level.
A good head of hair is a real turn on for you. You liked men with a variety of hair styles, but you seemed to have a special interest in men with full, wavy hair. Whether the hair was short, medium, or long, you'd rather see hair with body and texture than straight, stringy hair. Waves and light curls tend to give men a certain "boyish" quality that you seemed to like. And it's by far the best hair to run your fingers through!
Deep black hair really catches your eye. In the test, you picked a definite subgroup of men who had a variety of different features and "looks," but many had black hair. This seems to fit with your overall interest in handsome MEN, not boys. Blonde and light brown hair is not nearly as appealing to you. Maybe it's because blondish hair usually gives guys a "boyish" look, while you prefer a more distinguished and even mysterious look.
(The quiz was wrong when it came to height and facial hair. I don't know how it mixed up the height thing, since I overwhelmingly told it that guys should be taller than I am. As for facial hair, I just disliked the styles on most of the models. *shrug*
So, yeah. Interesting and mostly accurate quiz. But, I should be in bed now. I have things to wake up for very early...
