Indeed. Women’s idea of what men find attractive and what men actually find attractive is highly divergent. Obviously, not all men nor women are the same, blah blah blah.

What men find attractive (80%+): A woman who is fit and not obese, in normal to tight-ish regular clothes in minimal or minimal-looking makeup, not much perfume and not slathered with weird stinky lotion, and a smile. A simple sundress is super attractive to most men if you can pull it off (and in my experience, sundresses are very easy to pull off…oh, wait, what were we talking about here?).

What women think men find attractive (but is actually just intrasexual competition): An expensive evening dress, 2 hours of full-face makeup, four-inch heels, complicated lingerie, various high-end perfumes and lotions, and a bratty but stand-offish personality and affect.

Not many men actually find the latter attractive, though an absurdly-large number of women believe that is what most men find appealing. But it just ain’t true.
