match.com Physical Attraction Test

Quite a thorough test which tries to assess many independent dimensions of attractiveness.

My Results:

Are You Picky -- Very Picky: It's official: You're "picky." The fact is you are drawn to the most beautiful of the beautiful. You know what you like in women and are more selective than most men your age. Your tastes seem instinctual. You'd make a great casting agent, because you have a good eye for women who have "star quality." In real life, your high standards may be an obstacle for you. It's hard to find a woman with the strong features you like, who's also well-rounded in other ways. Still, you know the importance of a real physical "spark" in a relationship, and aren't willing (or able) to settle for less. The challenge is finding a woman who really wows you physically, even if she's not the most attractive woman in the room.

Face Types --

Your Favorite Body Types -- One type of body you seemed to like is scientifically called an "Ectomorph," which is a fancy way of saying you like "skinny" women. Since these women don't get as much attention as the cheerleaders, she'd probably be surprised to know that for you skinny is sexy. Women with this body type are long, lean, and lanky, with a small, delicate bone structure, narrow hips, and a flat stomach. She doesn't have as many curves as some of the other body types, but these women tend to stay thin throughout their lives. Ectomorphs are built for endurance activities like running and fitness walking rather than sports that require bursts of speed and strength. They make up around 3% of the single population. Keep your eyes out for signs like long necks, pointed chins, prominent noses, and long arms and legs.

Faces -- According to the photos you selected, you like women with so-called "oval" faces. The oval face has a gently rounded hairline and is slightly wider at the temples than the jawline and has an oval chin. This face shape is considered the ideal for women. Most women with other face shapes use makeup and hair style to try to make their faces look oval. Julia Roberts and Uma Thurman have oval faces.

Eyes -- You seemed especially interested in women with brown eyes. In the test, you may not have even noticed eye color on a conscious level. However, those smoldering brown eyes apparently stood out to you on an unconscious level. Supposedly, brown eyes give the impression of softness and mystery.

Nose Type -- You liked women with beautiful average noses. The "average" nose "fits" a woman's face. Length is shorter than the ears and from a profile, the nose line is straight or slightly curved. Your interest in these noses may be a "side effect" of your more general preference for "All-American," mainstream, nice looking women.

Lips -- You preferred women to have nice average-sized lips; not too thin and not too full. Even though thicker lips are more popular, you were not especially drawn to them. Perhaps it's because you like very natural-looking women, without a lot of makeup.

Smiles -- Women with a soft smile or grin seemed more appealing to you than women with big "toothy" smiles. Although you probably didn't notice this tendency, the preference for soft smiles fits your overall interest in women who appear genuine, warm, and approachable. [This one is very accurate]

Hair Style -- Although you liked women with a variety of hair styles, you seemed to have a special interest in women with full, wavy hair. Although straight hair has been in fashion recently, wavy hair has historically been the "ideal" and most desired hair type for women. Thick, wavy hair tends to give women a very feminine and stylish look. And it's by far the best hair to run your fingers through!

Hair Length -- You liked women with a variety of hair cuts, but you gave special attention to women with long hair. You seem to really appreciate women with beautiful hair. It's one of the qualities that seemed to grab your attention during the test. The good news is that long hair is coming back in style. So, there will be more and more who'll catch your eye. There will be lots of women whose long hair gives them a "feminine" and "girlish" quality you appear to be drawn to.
