Once upon a time attractiveness used to be things like shared values, sense of humour and, yeah, sexiness. Then it became about body. Now it's become about face. What next? Eyebrows?
I agree with you. And I always like to point out that ancient sculptures and paintings mostly always portrayed women as curvy and even the men were sometimes a bit chubby on them...
I hate that image is far too important in this world.
And it Victorian times, carrying extra weight was seen as attractive because you were affluent enough to eat heartily. The whole thing is cyclic and all the people on this site who post hateful comments don't seem to realise they are intrinsically wrong. Plus what is attractive is a personal choice, anyway, not a universal one. I think I may be a Victorian gentleman in my attitudes!
Since the dawn of man it's been about body and face. Symmetry, healthy-looking weight and large sexual organs all suggest fertility, and favourable genes for reproduction. 'Good' eyebrows wouldn't really suggest anything important, so that's unlikely to ever be a big deal. =P
But on the other hand I can see your point and to me, personality and similar interests/outlooks on life are very attractive, often more so than physical attributes...
GUYS: Would you rather?

But human attractiveness is based upon a general range of requirements.
"...intrinsically wrong..."
REALLY??
I don't know how we're supposed to 'face' the facts. Due to the fact, I'm very tall, it's hard for me to see eye-to-eye with many people.
