Is physical beauty judged more by a person’s face or by their body?
Posted on Thursday, December 24th, 2009 at 2:22 pmI’m a little confused on this subject. First let me say that internal beauty is what really matters in my opintion, but speaking of external beauty, I’ve always looked at a person’s face as the most important factor in determining whether or not they are physically attractive. Lately, though, I’ve been reading & hearing statements that indicate that with sexual attraction it’s all about whether or not someone has an attractive body and how their face looks is not that important in determining whether they look good or not.
Any opinions out there?
Physical Beauty has been boiled down for centuries to mathematics. When it comes to the face, Symmetry is name of the game. Take a photo of yourself and and draw a line from the top of your down to your chin crossing at the tip of your nose. Measure the distances from the center to your eyes, ears, mouth and so on. If the distances are a match, congrats. If you have bad complexion, this throws off the symmetry. So do pimples, scars, moles, freckles and even piercings. This doesn’t mean that if you have these features you can’t be beautiful.
As far as beauty in the body’s sake it is very simple. There is a reason why women’s body’s are given in three measurements: chest, waist, and butt. The more hour glass a woman’s figure can be the more attractive that body is. If a woman is flat chested with a large midsection and large butt, these proportions will be odd looking to most. Granted, a B cup would be expected to have a smaller waist and butt ration, and a D cup, in comparison, would be expected to have a larger waist and butt ratio.
As far as which of these factors is most important in discerning beauty, they are both equally important. However, studies have shown that the first thing a man looks at in a woman to size her up is her face.

Definitely the face take precedence. If a women has a beautiful face and so-so body, she’s still pretty. But if the body’s bangin’ and the face isn’t so good, she’s a butter-face.
