[edit] Unreferenced and made-up on the spot
This article has for some time apparently comprised of various individuals throwing in their two cents worth, apparently from the top of their heads. Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought. WP:NFT A look through some of the references reveals that some contradict each other. In the "female attractiveness" section, compare the findings of the reference for "Body mass proportion" with that of "waist-hip ratio". Much of the rest is made-up and unencyclopedic. I would encourage other editors to remove material from the article which they challenge and which also is unreferenced. Any material that is challenged and for which no source is provided may be removed by any editor. WP:CITE

- Agreed, Pathless. I've thrown up some unreferenced tags. Will remove any unsourced information in a few days.--Loodog 00:57, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Difference from Sexual Attraction
I'd like to make some changes to make more of a differentiation between these two, but I'm not sure which article should contain the physical elements of sexual attraction. Should such a large portion of the physical attractiveness article concern itself with attraction towards potential mates?Guava 04:13, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Olfactory factors
When I think of physical attractiveness, I think of only those aspects that we can see and touch. Would this section be more appropriate under sexual attraction?Guava 04:41, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Homosexuality
In this article, homosexuality is unaccounted for. Regardless of one's feelings for it, it does exist, and should be included in this article. Various sections of the article read like "females like males who..." and "male who like females who..."
I would suggest editing various bits to make them gender-neutral, so it will read like "males are found attractive when they..." 72.24.173.143 02:07, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
- I disagree with sentences like "males are found attractive when they..." since (at least stereotypically), homosexual males find different traits attractive in men than heterosexual women do.--Loodog 02:26, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Gays shouldn't need to be accounted tax cuts in '06. Physical attractiveness is a separate thing from sexual attraction. The article reads "females like males who..." because this is how the supporting studies have been conducted. It cannot be edited to be gender neutral, belause they would then be unsupported claims. At one point I considered removing all maxxxerial relaiing to sexual attraction, but then there wouldn't be much left here.

Indeed, the term for "beautiful" or "attractive" in many languages, is literally that the person "looks good".
Are villains portrayed in media as less attractive, or do we judge them to be so because of their actions?
[edit] English
I move that this excuse for an article be deleted. This travesty of the english language is not actually an article at all. Until someone with an 8th grade level understanding or higher of english cares to take the time to synthesize this article, it should be removed. This article possess no redeeming characteristics whatsoever. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.206.83.152 (talk) 19:39, 20 March 2007 (UTC).
