What do men REALLY want? Males reveal the top five physical traits they find most attractive in a woman - and what they say might surprise you

  • Louanne Ward is an Australian-based dating expert and relationship strategist
  • She runs a Facebook group called She Said, He Said to garner real-world data
  • In a post, Ms Ward asked men what their top two physical qualities in women are 
  • Interestingly the top answer was eyes (34.8%), followed by a smile (24.8%) 

An Australian dating expert has conducted a poll to find out which physical qualities men like the most about women, and the results may come as a surprise to some.

Instead of choosing features like lips or breasts first Louanne Ward discovered that it's the eyes - which can't be changed other than adding coloured contacts - that men find most attractive in a woman.

The relationship strategist, from Perth in Western Australia, posed the question 'Which two physical features do you like most on a woman?' on Facebook.

Eyes took out the top spot at 34.8 per cent overall, followed by smile (24.8 per cent) and then bottom (10 per cent).

'The eyes have it, then the way she carries herself, and finally, how she presents herself,' one man responded.

In fourth and fifth position were breasts (7.7 per cent) and legs (6.2 per cent) with a healthy body shape, hair and personal style rounding out the list.

'The first thing I notice is her eyes. I can almost read a person and it's strange but the eyes truly are the gateway to one's soul... then I notice the hair, I love a woman with long, beautiful hair,' another man confessed.

Some men said their favourite thing about a woman is 'her personality', but this is not a physical feature (stock image)

Some men said their favourite thing about a woman is 'her personality', however those answers didn't count towards the results.

'I think people feel guilty expressing the need for physical attraction publicly,' Ms Ward said in response.

'If we aren't attracted to someone it's unlikely we will ever know what their personality is like, the same as looks alone aren't enough to build upon.'

What were the top five physical traits overall? 

1. Eyes 41.6 per cent

2. Smile 29.6 per cent

3. Bum 12.2 per cent

4. Breasts 9.2 per cent

5. Legs 7.4 per cent

Other men were even embarrassed to say that their favourite feature was a woman's breasts, perhaps fearing it would spike backlash from the rest of the group. 

But Ms Ward asked for honesty in her research: 'There is nothing shameless about appreciating a woman's breasts, they are part of her feminine form, plus you don’t have any which makes them more fascinating'.
