According to a recent study, women seem to prefer feminine looks in their partners. AT finds out what the fairer sex really wants.
It's time for the metrosexual man to rejoice, if a recent study is anything to go by. A British study says that women look for feminine features in their potential partners. Men with larger noses, smaller eyes and thicker eyebrows were viewed as less faithful partners and worse parents.
Feminine faces with wide eyes, finer features and thinner, more curved eyebrows seemed to be the best potential long-term mates. Does that mean metrosexual men are the perfect Mr Right for women in India?
For actress and TV host Rakshanda Khan, "It's the macho man any day. Someone who has stubble is like the ultimate for me." For actress Reshmi Ghosh nothing matters more than "cute eyes and lips. I am not in favour of men who are muscular. I certainly don't need a Salman Khan in my life.
Chocolate-boy looks are fine, but my man shouldn't be too effeminate." The combination of brains and brawns is a major turn-on for the bold and beautiful. TV host Suchitra Pillai says, "My kind of a man would be someone who is fit, healthy and conscious about himself.
All brawn and no brains is not my kind of a person. Also, he must have a sense of humour. Men with chocolate boy looks are not necessarily trustworthy. I would just say that to know a man, look into his eyes which is a window to his soul."
Psychologists in UK found that the women in the survey viewed the macho men as more dominant partners in relationships. Singer-actress Rajeshwari Sachdev believes that "men who don't have hair on their chest shouldn't be trusted.
I like men who have great eyes, good looks and are well-groomed. I totally disagree that women like men who are feminine looking. But love is blind so one can fall in love with anybody."
For some looks don't matter. Like TV actress Shveta Salve, who says, "For me, what matters is that I should get along with the man with whom I will be spending the rest of my life." Actress Sangeeta Ghosh feels it's not possible to judge a person's character on the basis of his looks.
"How can a person be called faithful or unfaithful by the way he looks?" she asks.Sure looks like our women do know what they want in their men!
