I hear girls say "He's hot" or "That guys so cute" Or "I'm going to marry him". But thats no good. What I would like to hear is "I really like the shape of his biceps" or "He has really nice abs, but his legs are too skinny" or "Nice body but his hair is terrible". More details and constructive criticism that I can use to compare that guy to myself. I don't think most guys have any idea of what women find attractive besides being buff, and even then most guys favor size, while I think tone is more important. But we're all just making it up!
I will admit that I probably only feel this way because I have a lot of self-confidence, and I feel like if I don't already meet expectations (as far as looks) I'm in a position where I can achieve them (except of course that I can't change my face, and I have a limited amount of control over what my body looks like as I build muscle. Some people just have funny shaped muscles). I'm not saying I'd expect to meet ALL expectations, I'm not that full of myself, I'm just saying given a physical checklist I'm in a position to view a good portion of it as a To-do list, rather than just despairing and giving up.
