The human form it comes in a myriad shapes and sizes, many angles and curves, each form is unique in it's design, there are no two alike, but what do you like, what attracts you, what part of the human form do you find aesthetically pleasing to your eye ?

Can you explain why ?

As for me I like the curves, I like the eyes, the noses, the lips. I saw this woman once that looked like a camel it was a strange kind of beauty that really intrigued me because she was unique and the way she smiled was devious. I'm a face person mostly I suppose, I can remember every face I've ever seen just like some people are good with names I'm good with faces. Breasts and thighs etc. don't really make someone as individual as a face does.

I though perhaps this thread might dig up the usual, tits, arse, cock etc, but there is more to a person than the obvious rude bits, myself for example, I just love the curve from the iliac crest to the start of the rib cage, a concave curve being the most aesthetically pleasing to me, in fact that whole curve, greater trochanter through the iliac, to the start of the rib cage and following it's curve up, convex to concave to convex again. This obviously on the female form, unless it is a skinny male.

Sir has a weird one, he thinks the sexiest thing on a woman is the gap at the top of the thighs (no not a euphamism the actual gap) and the hollow in the neck he likes too.

And the forearms - I love firm, well-defined forearms.

Oh yes, and hairy bodies.  I go weak at the knees for men with real body hair!

Status: offline 		Yeah, yeah, yeah... inner beauty and self confidence, and all that...

But I love black hair.
I love large, "puffy" nipples on women.
I like guys who wear boots a lot (it makes their asses have that "pinched" look)
The way a calf bulges when in a stilleto heel
Long hair, brushing my body, like a horsetail whip...
Short, brush-like hair that's "petable."
Smooth skin.
And their scent, when clean, and aroused.

I could go on, but why bother? It's such an individual thing, I really don't see what's to be gained... your milage will undoubtably vary...

Status: offline 		There was a show about beauty on the Discovery channel a few years ago that discussed the 'golden ratio' 1.6:1 and showed how this number when applied to everything from a persons face to a flower describes beauty.  The faces, bodies, flowers, seashells, etc... that followed the ratio were generally considered attractive, the ones that strayed from the ratio were not as attractive.  It's been a few years since I've seen that show, I don't remember all of the details.

To me... the most attractive part of the female form.  The slight depression over the spine just between the lower back and the top of the ass.  Yep, strange... I know, but that does it for me every time.

Status: offline 		Physical beauty is meaningful when it's illuminated from within. The human animal is the only living being that can be ugly because of his or her psychology. And all sorts of 'bits' can be beautifully shaped in and of themselves (a pair of legs, a torso or a face), but they only become beautiful when they're part of the whole.

Dark eyes, long dark hair, smile.

Opposites attract..........and I've no intention of smiling in the near future.....fuck that; life's too serious.....

Status: offline 		If you speaking of only conformation I know what attracts me in animals of all sorts, Men included.  `grin`
Stocky, proportionate rounded lines, well muscled yet just fat enough to to soften angles. 
I find that a large rounded head with little definition as it attaches to the neck will turn my head (um's tease me that i like no necks). 
Facially I go for large kind eyes, and a rounded jaw.  Height doesnt play into this at all if I'm window shopping. 
But what culls the herd is movement.  A proud graceful mover with all the above characteristics will have me spell bound.  

(I could be explaining a horse, dog or human)  `giggle`

This would insinuate a desire for some warmth to provide comfort, would it not?

In dogs and horses, I look first to see if they are nonaggressive. A certain amount of it in men is great, but not in companion animals.

I love bony men and women.  I think it's because I've never, ever been bony myself.  I also love very small breasts on women (well, men too, for that matter) and, again, I think it's because I myself haven't had them since about age 5.

I love long, curled eyelashes on both men and women.  On men, I love big adam's apples that bob up and down alot when talking and long thin fingers and hands that are calloused or nearly so from hard work.  I like the look of big, prominent veins on a man's forearms and hands also.  I can't get turned on by a man whose hands don't look like he's ever lifted a finger in his life.

I like sharp, pointy noses on both men and women (think Jodie Foster - a nose that could slice cheese).  I like high cheekbones and an almost gaunt look on both men and women. 

But, then again, I like all kinds of other features too.  Somedays at work, I'll see numerous people I think are delicious looking.  Some male, some female.  Some tall, some short.  Some dark, some pale.  Some long haired, some short haired.  Some heavy, some skinny.  Some dark-eyed, some blue-eyed.  As others have said, I may have a list of things I ALWAYS like, but the attractiveness of any one individual all depends on the looks PLUS their personality and how they carry themselves.

After all, the Man I love more than anyone else in the world isn't bony, doesn't have long eyelashes, has hazel eyes, no big adam's apple, a rounded and not pointy nose and doesn't have high cheekbones.  But He's a helluva Man and my one and only love....................luci

Shall we talk about the moral of aesthetics :-) ?
