    Men have two brains. Firstly there is the brain that resides in the cranium which may indeed be attracted by sense of humour, kindness, personality etc.. Then there's our second brain located somewhere in the trouser region. It is a userper and an upstart and it doesnt care for any of that, it goes for the hot body and big breasts everytime.

    I voted for kindness and humour too!

    Although, I was confused over which poll I should vote in.

    I have actually heard that's the physiological reason men want to take a nap afterwards.

    You could be right but what a way to go.

    So, what is it about the women in your life that is troubling you? They don't have big enough breats or a 'banging' body for you?

    That's the point, so please take a seat in the corner

    I agree with everything except the final word. Problem. I fail to see how it is a problem.

    Also, at the risk of opening up a dangerous can of worms as the saying goes; is anyone else like me, and simply not attracted to certain races. For instance I find caucasians and middle-easterns and north Africans beautiful, on average. But I don't like black or Sino girls. I don't think I would ever be physically attracted to a black girl. And Sino girls I don't much like either. I have had the black girl discussion with several other Italian friends of mine and they all feel the same way, we were all of the same opinion that we would never do a black girl. Not because of racism but simply because we don't find them attractive.

    That's funny. Now if you were just kind and intelligent! (This is not a personal comment, btw; I'm being funny,Scher!)

    Thinking a black girl isn't attractive because she's black isn't racist?

    Sorry if this is "off-topic," Scher, but if you don't want people responding to a comment like that, it should probably be deleted.

    I don't like calling people racist so I won't.

    I find women of all races incredibly attractive. One of the great positives of globalization and immigration is that my once nearly-100-percent-causasion area of Canada is now teeming with women of all races and aside from the obvious cultural benefit there is the nice added bonus that I see beautiful women from a wide number of countries and continents - India, China, Africa, Eastern Europe - walking the streets. I find it a lot more interesting. I am not much of a flirt but whenever I do flirt I am glad to no longer be confined to my own race.

    I encounter this "black girls are not attractive" thing all over the internet. I don't understand it. It irritates me greatly. If anything you could make the opposite claim, a reverse-racist claim and say that black women, like latino women, often have amazing bodies - are more voluptuous. Most of the women I've dated have been white women so I'm not knocking them or anything. And white women can be voluptuous too and often are, but it just seems from what I've seen in my area and from the internet and television that the women of some other races often have more curvaceous figures. And this includes subsets of the "white" race - like women from Portugal.

    Anyway. All races are attractive. I find them equally attractive. A group that doesn't get enough attention for being hot are native women, the indigenous peoples of the lands now called Canada and America.

    Race is one of the last things I think about when sizing up a potential partner. And isn't it a proven scientific fact that offspring from mixed couples are stronger or better adapted from an evolutionary point of view? Its like the opposite of inbreeding and from what I know inbreeding is pretty darn unhealthy and sick.

    And I honestly don't see how it cannot be deemed racist to write off an entire race's female population as ineligible for mating. Plus you've just removed from your pool of potential partners an entire continent. Anyway.

    I'll offer some degree of defense for Alex... although he's quite good at speaking for himself. First of all... he is but 19 years old and quite likely may not have yet come across a Black or Asian woman that he has found personally attractive. Growing up in a predominantly (almost wholly) White community, I don't think I would have entertained the notion of finding either a Black or an Asian woman attractive myself at that age.

    I will go on to say that there is a degree of hypocrisy involved in this thread when one is asked for an honest response concerning what initially attracts us as individuals... and then when such honest answers are put forth, some are taken to task concerning their answers. Honestly, propriety and political correctness have nothing to do with what we are or aren't attracted to. The fact that Alex has isn't sexually attracted to Black or Asian women would seem to me no more racist than the fact that I have never been sexually attracted to men is sexist. Alex may be wholly respectful... even admiring of Black and Asian women in every other context, but simply finds that he has never been physically attracted to any of them. I suspect there are certain attributes that we all find unattractive to a given extent and as such are not attracted to individuals with these attributes. Obviously, this amounts to a prejudice or discrimination of a sort... but desire... attraction is nothing if not discriminating and propriety, equality, justice, and political correctness have absolutely nothing to do with it.

    And in case some were wondering... in light of my defense of Alex... yes, I most certainly have come across more than my fair share of Black, Asian, and Hispanic/Latino women that I have found deadly attractive. One of my favorite operatic performers... and I'll admit that her appearance bears far more weight upon my admiration than her solid singing abilities... is the soprano, Danielle de Niese, who is of Sri Lankan Burgher heritage... a Eurasian ethnic group, historically from Sri Lanka, involving a mixture of European and native Sinhalese:

    Good points, all, stlukes. I retract my implications, Alex.

    And I'm also a fan of de Niese. I saw her in a simulcast production of "Treasure Island" (or a title like that, not 100% sure). She stole the show. She's beautiful, a good singer, but a great performer, too. She was in a comedic role and had everyone laughing consistently. But I digress . . .
