This is strictly physically speaking and we all know physical attraction is important so i just want to see what most guys think catches their attention first. If you had to choose between the traits here would you go for a woman with an amazing natural body that she built herself but has an ok or average face or a woman with a gorgeous face but an ok/lacking body?
If you could only choose one, Face or Body, which would it be?

Face, body can always be improved
Think about it this way, its really really hard to change your face outside of losing facial fat, but changing your body is relatively easy.
Ok or average one or the other depends on a lot of factors, but probably face over body most of the time.
Both are good options? I’d go face though.
Body
Nature matters more. Looks can be deceiving
Face, because it is one of the last things to go.
face. I was attracted to women that carried nothing on them but looked stunningđź’€
personality is more important than either
My take as a 56 YO: facial beauty fades with age, but women and men who take care of themselves age better and if you are also active, they make more engaging life partners. Being “fit” is a commitment to yourself which is an attractive trait IMHO.
> If you could only choose one
Luckily, that’s never the real situation.
Face for sure. I have had fun with my fair share of butterfaces, but I really prefer a nice face.
Someone with a smile that lights up a room or beautiful eyes, that’s what I like, I’d rather have that than a nice ass or tits because ass and tits will sag and wrinkle overtime. But smile and eyes don’t go away and Doesn’t change
Body
Face, its what you should be looking at more often and doesn’t change as much as bodies do.
One night stand body, relationship face
Body. Because there are more women with attractive bodies than women with pretty faces.
I’m gonna assume this question is asking a bit like a snapshot, and not like “face, because body can be improved with time” I’m gonna go with a sort of “what you choose is what you’ll keep/have”.
I’d have to go with Body here, but it’s more because I’m not really that attracted to Instagram model level faces. I find beauty in the more real and average.
And when I say body, I’m not talking toned, slim or athletic, I’m talking wide hips, thick thighs and quite a lot of soft padding in all the best places.
Or, said in a different way, I have a bigger “range” when it comes to faces, but there’s quite a range of body types I’m not attracted to, like petite or overly toned.
But yeah, this question is… Difficult to answer without adding unnecessary details.
Face every time. I think about it like this: If I was in a relationship with someone and they lost some weight or gained some weight – as lots of people do, all the time – I’d still be attracted to them (obviously less so at extremes like anorexia or morbid obesity, but a bit of back and forth is normal, especially as you age). But if I’m not attracted by their face, nothing they could do to their body would make me attracted to them.Â
Face all the way! Cuz frankly hear me out, we (as the Homo Sapiens species) our attractive traits is almost exclusively the face. It’s also why nude deepfakes of celebs are popular, no one really cares what the body looks like – it just gotta look slim & fit. Just strap on a hot face on any fit body and you’re good, it gets the job done.
Anyway bodies look more or less the same, but the face is the wildcard. People who choose “body” here gotta already be facially attractive to a degree, because the answer is frankly one-sided.
Honestly I’d say body. Of course I like a pretty girl, but I’m a big fan of makeup as well and that can work wonders.
It would have to be her face. Body can be worked on with some excercise, if that’s what she wants. Personality would seal the deal.
Lotta folks saying “get to the gym”.
That seems to be a workaround to the question.
Admittedly, i dont know the true purpose so im guessing.
Presenting two options, and permitting one to be malleable gives one pause as to the purpose behind the question.
I like average looking women, so can I go for an Average/Average?
Face. I’m not super picky when it comes to a woman’s body, so long as she’s not ridiculously overweight.
Though I will say with both that a great personality can cause me to see a woman in a totally different light such that an “average” face or body can become much more attractive than I initially thought. I’ve completely lost interest in women that belonged on a magazine because she plays stupid games, and I’ve fallen absolutely head over heels for “frumpy” women that were just amazing to hang out with (until they decided to start playing stupid games, anyway)
Face. Because people with slim face and string or Curly hair looks hot .body can be re shaped by. Surgury or exercise .
An OK or average face would be pretty attractive to most people I think, especially if they had an amazing physique.
A pretty face on a morbidly obese person would net them less suitors for sure.
Lucky me, my fiancé has both going for her…
But to answer the question… I’d say body. I’m not one to care about looks overall but a nice curvy body would catch my attention more times over than a pretty face would…
Body. Average face is no problem for me.
Body every time. Someone with good body genetics and takes care of their body will have a ton of benefits in the long run. Healthier for longer, stays fit and motivated, less likely to get fat, physically able to do more stuff. A pretty face on a nasty body is only good for looking at.
My first wife was average looking with a nice body. (After we divorced she let herself go and is now very unattractive and overweight). My wife now has a beautiful face and is very overweight. She’s in the process of losing weight and is down thirty pounds.
My preference would be a nice body. That doesn’t mean I love my wife any less though. We’ve been married for 25 and we have a great marriage.
If both can’t improve properly body
Body, your face is your face, your body tells me more about your lifestyle.
Body, it defines health
Face
Ill will also say face.
