Why We Like What We Like About the Opposite Sex

Most of us like looking at certain body parts of the opposite sex. Men tend to like butts, breasts, legs and occasionally the abdomen. Women tend to like abs, arms, hands, and occasionally the butt. Most people will say "We naturally like these things" that's true but why? Sure, one of those reasons we like these things is because we like how certain parts look but there are other reasons as well. Since those other reasons are in our subconscious, we don't pay attention to them. We already know why we are attracted to each other's he genitals; to produce offspring.

Why We Like What We Like About the Opposite Sex

1.) Why men like breasts

They are nice to look at and are sexually arousing but why do they sexually arouse men? Well because they are a sign of nurture. Subconsciously men see breasts as being able to nurture a baby.

2.) Why men like female butts

Once again, they look nice and are sexually arousing for men but they are a sign of fertility. A man subconsciously knows that she can have a child. Another reason is if a guy is sexually aroused by female flatulence, he knows that is the part of the body were it comes from hence his attraction to the butt.

3.) Why men like the female abdomen

You guessed it, because it looks so gorgeous but there is a scientific reason as well. Subconsciously men see the female abdomen as the child bearing area, hence a sign of fertility.

4.) Why some men like the female navel

Yes it looks so arousing but once again there is also another reason; men subscondciously like it because it resembles the female genitalia and because it is a erogenous zone for some women. In fact the female navel use to be censored in public. Women use to not be able to reveal their navels in public or in the media. Eventually that censorship became obsolete.

5.) Why men like the feminine pretty face

Obviously we find it to be gorgeous but even though we are not aware of it, we also see beautiful women as a means of producing our offspring.

6.) Why men like female feminine hands

We like how women's hands look so soft/tender but it might also have to do with their tender hands being a sign of nurturing capabilities.

7.) Why men like soft feminine voices

We like them because subconsciously we know they are a sign of high estrogen in a woman.

Now let's take a look at what women like. This is what convinced me that women are visual when it comes to physical attraction.

8.) Why women like masculine strong arms

Obviously they like how they look but their subconscious says that strong arms offer a lot of protection.

9.) Why women like masculine hands

Well they do like how they look and there are various other reasons why. Strong hands are a sign of strength and skill for protection and because there is a possibility for some women that fingers might resemble the human penis.

10.) Why women like male 6 pack abs

Clearly women like to look at them and touch them. However they also look at 6 pack abs as a sign of good health/fitness, so they can give good offspring.

11.) Why some women like the male navel

I know, it's surprising but I've met some women who are so fascinated by the male navel. Clearly they like how it looks but it might have to do with the subconscious sense of protection as well. One of those women told me that she prefers the navels of men with 6 pack abs. Another reason why is because for some men including myself, our navels are erogenous. For those that don't know, the human navel does change in shape based on how physically fit a person is.

12.) Why women like male butts

Sure they love how it looks but people wonder if there really is a biological reason why women are into it. There are actually many read but here are some; a muscular butt is a sign of strength which gives the woman a sense of protection, she likes how it looks when the man walks and because she might envy it. Also, if a woman is sexually aroused by male flatulence(yes there are women that are) she knows that the butt is where that sound and smell comes from. I've always had a rather large butt and I've had many women always complimenting me on how nice my butt looks and how they wish their butts looked like mine.

13.) Why women like men's masculine handsome faces

Yes, they do love how they look. However, they also like the message/vibes a man's facial structure gives. They tend to like guys that have masculine facial features(high cheekbones, hollow cheeks, intense eyes, strong Jaws) and certain facial shapes because they look for dominance in a man's face. Pictured below are two men that a lot of women might consider handsome.

14.) Why women like masculine deep voices

The reason why they like deep voices is because a deep voice is a sign of high testosterone. I have a very deep voice and I've had females always telling me how they like how my voice is deep.

As you can see there are many reasons why people are fond of certain body parts in the opposite sex. Men and women both like proper bone structure and healthy skin in the opposite gender. However men tend to like lumps of flesh(breasts, chunky butts) while women like muscle on men (biceps, forearms, abs, glutes etc).
