How much does a good looking face matter to you vs a good looking body? Which would you pick if given the choice?

Good one, as my obsession with a “good looking” body lead to a permanently gaunt face, which is ageing me.
I can ignore a body much more easily than I can ignore a face.
Body i can control, face is what I was given and have come to terms with it 🙈
Face, always. I think a variety of body shapes are good looking, so unless you’re morbidly obese or dying of starvation you’re probably good.
Face because a good looking face is more memorable. Body you have decent control over.
I can find almost any body type attractive, appearance-wise only the face matters to me.
I think in general women focus more on face and men focus more on body
Average looking + tall > Handsome + short.
Muscle can be built, but height is fixed. A chiseled physique and tall stature project more masculinity and presence than just a good-looking face.
As someone with a pretty face and not good looking body (fat) I say body is more important. Society treats me like shit
I’d say face matters more if we’re talking about attraction to others.
But on myself, as someone who had a great body and now doesn’t I miss it so much. I’d rather have a good looking body again
Face, 100% without a doubt
To me, a nice face, kind eyes and a great smile are the important things.
Ugly face and fit body or nice face with ugly body. I really don’t care. Personality and someone who I click and get on with every time. I don’t care if my friends or family say – ooof they ugly or what. Beauty is in everyone.
I can’t imagine waking up to a face I don’t like daily. Body can be changed enough.
Cant ignore a fugly face
Face matters way more. In saying that, I’m sorry but at 5ft 10 myself I’m not attracted to short guys. Beyond that I’m flexible.
I like a good looking personality.
Face and here’s why you can always work on your body but you can’t exercise your way to a different face. Plus when we’re both old and wrinkly I want to look at someone whose expressions still make me happy.
For a partner? Or for myself? Honestly, I’m not sure either way.
I’ve learned that how I feel about my face and my body at any given time has much more to do with my internal state that my appearance. If I’m feeling good about life I look in the mirror and see a 9/10. Maaaaybe I’ll still think I’d like to lose a little weight, but even then I mostly enjoy how I’m looking and feeling. But if I feel like crap? I look in the mirror and am mortified that I ever thought I could be attractive. My eyes are slightly different sizes and a little too close together. My face is so square, it barely looks human to me. My neck is weirdly short! My shoulders look like a linebacker’s. Why is my belly so squishy??? One time I looked in the mirror and marveled at how good I looked, walked out of the bathroom and was insulted by my mother, walked back in and saw that square-faced short-necked odd-eyed linebacker looking back at me and I realized I couldn’t possibly look any different then I had a moment before, so it was all in my head. Super painful but super helpful moment. So do I even know if I have a beautiful face or body? Maybe I’m gorgeous right now, and sometimes insecurity makes me doubt it. Or maybe I’m gross looking and sometimes confidence let’s me look past it. I’ve been told both and I’ve thought both looking in the mirror, so who the hell knows. I’ll keep the face and body I have, and try to get back into yoga so it lasts me longer, haha.
As for a partner? I’ve always found my partners attractive while I’m dating them. Looking back, none of my previous long-term male partners were objectively attractive. One had a really good body. None of them hold a candle to my husband, who’s a total smokeshow. Other people might call him skinny, or not like that he let’s his hair grow out long sometimes, or some nonsense like that, but to me he’s perfect. If we were to ever divorce, would I think back on his looks like I do my other ex’s? I don’t know or care. I hope we grow old together, and I never learn if I find him so physically attractive because of how he looks or because of how I feel about him.
Face (and especially eyes) are super important. Body can be altered more easily if it’s a matter of weight/muscle
Face over body every time.
I definitely prefer a good looking face. A body can fluctuate but it can also be worked on, but your face is always going to be your face.
Face!!
face matters more for me. like you can have the fittest body ever but if there’s no spark in the face or expression, it’s just not hitting. and a lot of attraction comes from how someone carries themselves anyway, not just features.
