"Our friends over at Glo.com, Chemistry.com and YourTango purportedly surveyed more than 20,000 guys to discover the top 10 traits that attract men to women. They surveyors divided their queries into two categories: what initially attracted men to women, and what they are looking for in the long term. Keep reading for the results. Not surprisingly, the top thing guys are looking for in the short-term is &amp;amp;#8220;sexual chemistry.&amp;amp;#8221; Number 2 is smile, which is refreshing (I was thinking it would be something like &amp;amp;#8220;body type&amp;amp;#8221; which actually doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t come up until #5). The full list: 1. Sexual chemistry 2. Smile 3. Kindness 4. Sense of humor 5. General body type 6. Eyes 7. Intelligence 8. Communication skills 9. Teeth/Lips 10. Hair I can&amp;amp;#8217;t say my own list differs too greatly from this one. I think I would some up all the &amp;amp;#8220;Teeth, Lips, Eyes, Smile&amp;amp;#8221; categories with one: &amp;amp;#8220;Face,&amp;amp;#8221; which I would rate at #1, followed by Sense of humor, Intelligence, General body type. The next 6 traits would not be from the above list. They would include &amp;amp;#8220;Athleticism,&amp;amp;#8221; &amp;amp;#8220;Taste in food/restaurants,&amp;amp;#8221; &amp;amp;#8220;Fashion sense,&amp;amp;#8221; &amp;amp;#8220;Cultural Interests,&amp;amp;#8221; &amp;amp;#8220;Ambition,&amp;amp;#8221; and &amp;amp;#8220;Karate skills.&amp;amp;#8221; And that&amp;amp;#8217;s the problem with a survey like this. I feel like the men polled chose from a list of options&amp;amp;#8212;and what does that really say? Like so many surveys, the answers given greatly depended on which questions were asked and how. If they were just asked to rate the top 10 things that attract them to a woman, I doubt more than a handful of 20,0000 men would list &amp;amp;#8220;Teeth/lips&amp;amp;#8221; of their own volition. As for the long-term, here&amp;amp;#8217;s how the YourTango list breaks down: 1. Kindness 2. Sense of humor 3. Communication skills 4. Sexual prowess 5. Intelligence 6. Smile 7. Listening skills 8. Money/Wealth 9. General body type/fitness 10. Eyes Again, I&amp;amp;#8217;m not sure how much accuracy I can attribute to this. There are a number of things on here that would definitely be on my own list: &amp;amp;#8220;Intelligence,&amp;amp;#8221; &amp;amp;#8220;Sense of Humor,&amp;amp;#8221; &amp;amp;#8220;General body type/fitness&amp;amp;#8221; for sure. But there are so many other things that aren&amp;amp;#8217;t on the list and rate higher (her desire to have kids, for example). It&amp;amp;#8217;s helpful to know that, over the long term, guys care more about kindness than they do your eyes, but I&amp;amp;#8217;d be interested to see a survey with more open questions.
