'''Sexual attractiveness''' or '''sex appeal''' is how desirable a person is solely based on how sexually pleasing they are (not to be confused with [[relationship]] appeal).

Through conditioning/imprinting, many develop attraction to nearly arbitrary features such as particular body shapes or behavioral traits, sometimes even sexual interest in non-living things (''paraphilic'' sexual interest), with men being generally more prone to developing such interests owing to their higher [[sex drive]].<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1079063214525645</ref> | ||

Having [[high status]] can potentially lead to greater arousal to women, than any amount of [[height]] or [[muscle]].{{Citation needed}} But having a repulsive face will lead to a significant reduction of overall attractiveness.

The bone structure is "normal" when the [[maxilla]] is forward and upward and the cheekbones are high and forward-projecting. Any deviation from this "normal" bone structure will result in increased repulsiveness.<ref>[http://www.buteykochildren.com/mouth_breathing_and_facial_development.php Mouth Breathing & Facial Development]</ref> | The bone structure is "normal" when the [[maxilla]] is forward and upward and the cheekbones are high and forward-projecting.

The [[skin]] can function as an attractant or a repellent. Orange skin indicates health and is attractive. Pale skin or pimples will increase repulsion.<ref name="scott2010">Scott, I.

Bluepilled people believed that there will always be girls that like different traits. This is based on Malcom Gladwell's presentation<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIiAAhUeR6Y</ref> on choice, variety and "people not knowing what they want". OkCupid's Data<ref>https://archive.fo/VELwq</ref> demonstrated that this is only partially true, since for females, larger variance in beauty is correlated to more messages (but this can be correlated to [[Juggernaut law]] rather than beauty). | Bluepilled people believed that there will always be girls that like different traits.
