Do guys prefer a pretty face over a good looking body?

Please help settle a debate between a friend of mine and I. She thinks that guys will take a hot body even if the face isn't that pretty. I say that guys will always take the beautiful face and the body isn't important at all. She thinks she is right, but I know I am right. So I am making a poll to prove my point.

Girls can of course answer too, but since we were talking about guys, that is what this is about. Feel free to put your opinion in though girls.

Face 180
Body 54

    I'd bet a lot more guys (at least guys who have been laid a few times) would rather have intelligence over your two choices. One can only fuck so many hours a day, and the rest of the time it would be nice to be with a girl who can carry on a conversation, wouldn't ya think?

    • Nobody is saying that the girl with the hot body and the girl with the pretty face are stupid. We can find intelligence attractive while also having a preference for the face or the body.

      Intelligence? smart people can be assholes and dumbass's can be really nice.

      If she's ugly there's always doggy style...so I'm going to go body but I sure do love girls with really sweet baby faces.

      I can't remember which comment it was that you made today or yesterday that made me laugh. You're hilarious! So sweet one moment and a bitch the next! (I do remember it was a caring, loving comment, though)

        I don't see why this would upset you so. I just said I think intelligence in a woman would be more attractive than face or body. How does that make me such a bad guy?

    • I'm sure anyone would. It's what I look for in a guy, but a guy has to want to have that conversation with the girl first. If the guy doesn't know her personally, he's going to want to be attracted enough to get to know her first.

    Personally, once I get to know someone for who they are and they turn out to be cool then I start talking myself into believing they are attractive all around; fat becomes curvy, weird becomes unique, your face becomes a painting I want in my life etc.

    For me the body is important, but no where near as important as the face.

    I'd think if they only want to fuck her it's body, if they want to be with her it's face. A good body is for fucking, a good face is something to wake up to and never grow tired of seeing.

    Absolutely - the face is far more important. It's the identifiable and expressive part, the part you remember most vividly. You make eye contact, you look at that mouth as she talks, the same mouth you kiss, the same mouth that laughs or smiles. That's the part you form an emotional and sexual bond with first. That's the part that defines us, physically.

    Most would rather a butter body than a butter face, if they were forced to choose.

    I want the girl to have a good looking face, and i dont mind the body as longg as its not overweight.

    Thank you for confirming that most guys do indeed prefer a pretty face! I guess it goes to show you that guys with actual standards go for a pretty face more than anything. Body is important too. But most good-looking guys prefer a girl with a good-looking face before anything else.

    For a serious relationship, face is more important.
    For a friendship with benefits, i'd say sexy body is better.

    • Because she's reading this as well. It got into a huge argument and it's better to have people who don't know either of us to answer. People who know you often tell you what they think you want to hear. If I hadn't made a question, she would have made one. I'm actually surprised she hasn't yet since she's pissed, because she says a poll doesn't prove her or other peoples experiences are wrong.

    You're both right in my opinion. A sub par body can be acceptable with a nice face, and vice versa.

    Beauty is on the inside!! Beauty is only skin deep. If you have an ugly personality, your looks really won't get you far in the relationship or even friendships. What you can lack in looks, you can always make up for it. And remember this too. One day, beauty turns old and wrinkly but the memories you make and the way you treat the person you are with, that's what will matter in the end.!

    *Rant*

    I dislike the type of women that let themselves go and think they can get sex solely due to the fact that they have a vagina. It's self-entitlement that's self-destructive. A woman's personality shouldn't go overlooked, yet their body is what conveys an important first impression. Men are less likely to pursue women that can't even take care of themselves properly.

    *End rant*

    I prefer a pretty face, although the body has to be decent.

    It really sort of depends on the guy. I'd say if it's a guy that's sort of immature or wants to impress his friends, he will go out with a girl that has a suprermodel-like body, but not such a pretty face. But sometimes guys prefer skinny girls just for their bodies for some reason I can't understand :)
    If the guy is a little bit more mature and non judgemental, he will like a girl with a pretty face no matter what type of body she has.

    Well bodies can change really easily but faces take years to change and usually only gain wrinkles so beauty isn't really lost in the face. I think face is 10x more important because that's where you're looking/talking to them every day.

    Besides, if they're pudgy and don't have any health issues that cause the weight gain, you can always get them to workout whenever you get the chance. No biggie. So face.

    Basically, would you rather stare into an ugly face for the rest of your life where they have a huge nose, hairy upper lip, thick bushy eyebrows and close-set eyes with no chin or would you rather stare at a gorgeous face?

    But how are you suppose to change a weird looking face? Besides surgery.. Even surgery doesn't work out sometimes. So I choose body. Because at least you can work on your body.

      (Whoa! It showed up in reply!!!!)

      Awwwww, no! Shut the surgery talk up!!!!!

      I think it must be a completely different experience from having a picture perfect face, but there is still a public for that. Men's taste in women varies so much!

      The other day I was at a party and there was a woman who had an AMAZING body (seriously!!!!) but a kind of bad face. The men dancing with her did not seem to care, she was really hot. I even wondered how it would be... but figured it's rather a matter of "work what you got"!

      How bad would say your face is? I think you're not as bad as you think! How old are you anyway?!

      • I'm in my 20's and I've never had a relationship since High School, and those guys were my friends first. Everyone says my face looks more like a guys face than a woman's face. It's extremely masculine looking. If I take a picture of my dad at my age and my own picture and compare them we look exactly the same except I have my moms eyes and I have long hair. I've heard that I look like a man with boobs. My friends set me up with guys, but as soon as the guys see me they say no. They don't bother to get to know me. I've done online dating too, but I don't really get any replies and I had someone else make my profile for me. She makes profiles for people all the time, she's good at it. So I know it wasn't the profile they didn't like.

        I've had so many makeovers in my life too.

          Just have a lot of interests and get a good education. Learn to cook, tell a good joke, have close friends and family. If you've got a great body and take really good care of it, by the time you reach your thirties, men will have matured and those of quality will want a woman like you- with a healthy well-taken care of body. That is what will be beautiful in their eyes. You are actually ahead of your pretty face friends who will be lulled again and again into thinking that these men are serious about her until she wakes up one day amazed at how many "boyfriends" she has had... Focus on the future- on who you want to be- a well-rounded, interesting person with family and friends and a healthy, well- taken care of body. You'll see, you will end up the winner in the end. Remember the story of the tortoise and the hare?? Trust me.

          Well, even if you do actually look more masculine than you think a girl should, there will always, ALWAYS (I'm so serious!!!! ALWAYS!), be a guy who will love it! :)

          • Usually at a salon. I'll have them give me a different hair style, put makeup on me differently, shape my eyebrows a different way. I've had friends help me look for clothes that will look flattering on me. The one look I know for sure I can't use is with bangs. For some reason when I have bangs it makes me look the most masculine. Long hair out of my face looks the best on me. I am the most feminine looking right now than I ever have been. I went to a spa at the beginning of July and they helped a little bit.

  • I would say face. Maybe during sex the body would be prefered given you don't always have to look at them in the face when having sex...So...

    It really depends on the guy. I've got an awesome face and awful body (barely being modest OR arrogant here). No lack of men, though, because despite that I'm both hot and good in the sack. What do you and your friend think?

    Comment Hidden ( show )

    • Well for me, I have an awful face but I have a really good body but men never will go for me. The only time I get guys is if we were friends first. However, most guys don't take the time to get to know me to see if I am good enough to date. They just take a look at my face, and turn me down.

      My friend on the other hand is very overweight (and proud of it, she's happy with her body so she's confident which is good) but she has a gorgeous face. She has a line up of men at any given time. She says she is good in the sack too, so that could be why too.

        Ah, but the knowledge of sack abilities only comes after the initial attraction! I've always wondered what it is like to have a killer body!

        I think it comes down to the type of man you meet. If you use the search bar here you'll see a lot of comments about pretty face/hot body! What I always say, and truly believe, is that there is always someone for everyone - does that make sense?! I mean, some men (and women) will take body over face and others face over body! Good for you that you've got it!!!! :D

        I guess you never heard the term BUTTERFACE. It means she has a nice body but not so pretty face. If someone has a great body the guy might just go for it. I think its less likely for a dude to find a chick with a horrible body and want her only for her face.

        • I've never really thought about it before. People don't really seem to notice because of my face, so I still feel insecure about myself even if my body looks good. People tell me I should feel happy and lucky about it, but I don't because I think having a good looking face is better. If I woke up tomorrow with a beautiful face but a not so perfect body I'd be happy. If I ever get enough money I want to get plastic surgery on my face.
