This is a question that has baffled friends for years. Everyone has their own type, obsessions, and fantasies. Trying to figure out your friend’s type can be a big deal. While I may like certain attributes about women, my friends might like a totally different type. It's not only important to find out what your friends like, but it would benefit you to figure out what exactly you're attracted to as well! You may not always agree on who is attractive or not; respect that everyone has different preferences and that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. People tend to look at several different things when they’re attracted to someone; check out these attributes.
Legs – I put legs first because I personally am a hugelegs person. I melt when I see an athletic woman with tan and toned legs. Legs are usually a pretty common turn on for guys and most women know it and aren’t afraid to show it!
Eyes – It’s always nice to have good looking eyes, but what’s more important is how you use them. People with good looking eyes tend to let their eyes do the flirting for them.
Body – Muscles are a huge turn on for women. I’d guess that close to 80% of women will be attracted to a guy that’s ripped and fit. Having a toned body can play a role in first impressions, but don’t go overboard. There are lots of people that work out so much that it consumes them and their body begins to lose its appeal. There is an especially fine line for women, it’s important to be toned and fit, but men typically aren’t attracted to women who look more muscular than them.
Curves – I know the first thing you think of is that men would notice this more than women but informal studies show that women look at men’s butts quite often as well! It’s always nice to have curves and some people are more attracted to curvy women than others. Whether you have curves or not, confidence will always improve one’s attributes.

Skin – Everyone likes soft skin… Obviously there are lots of different races and lots of different colors of skin but it's important to remember again that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It’s important to keep your skin healthy and moisturized!

Smile – Everyone likes a good smile! It’s important to show a friendly attitude. You’ll be much more attractive if you smile and lots of people fall for a friendly face.
Personality – Your personality is the most important attribute you have! It may not come into play until your looks have someone’s attention but that doesn’t change the fact that people with out-going personalities are much more attractive and likeable than quiet and reserved people. Shy or not, being comfortable with yourself is always attractive. Style – Your style refers to clothing and overall appearance. Some people are just attracted to people who know how to dress. If you see a women with a dazzling dress on or a man in a tux, it’s likely that you’ll be more attracted to them than if they were in street clothes, regardless of their looks.

Everyone has their type and their own “goggles” on that allow for them to see different attributes in people. This is exactly why some friendships don’t work out and some parents can’t understand what their kids see in their crush. It’s important to note what types of people your friends are interested in to better understand their motives and to better you chances of helping each other out in a dating environment.
