Men: what do you want women to be attracted to you for -- brains or brawn?

Asked by wundayatta (58722points) December 4th, 2009

I asked a similar question to women and was urged to ask it of men. This question is not meant to be a one-or-the-other question. That was just for purposes of the headline.

The real question is what do you want women to be attracted to in you, and in what proportion. I am suggesting intelligence vs physique as the dichotomy (although you can bring in other categories, should you wish). So how do you want to be attractive to women? 50/50 brains to brawn? 75/25? 20/80?

Also, please explain what aspect of brain or brawn you want to be liked for. For example, in the intelligence category, I would include attributes such as net worth, artistic abilities, earning power, pure brilliance, humor, conversational skills and more. In the brawn category I would include physical beauty, physical skill, sexual prowess and/or endowment, etc.

The above was about your ideal way of attracting women. Now, to extend it further, which of your attributes do you actually think is attractive to women, and in what proportion.

Note: I do not want to exclude any sexual preference from this. I am just using women as a convenient term. If you prefer men, then how do you want other men to be attracted to you, and which of your attributes do you think other men are actually attracted to?
