What makes guys approach one girl and not the other when they are both

Why Men Prefer Certain Body Types Over Others

Men may prefer specific body types due to cultural influences, personal attractions, or subconscious preferences. Despite both women being equally attractive, factors like body shape and individual taste can influence approach behavior. Understanding these preferences involves considering societal standards and personal biases that shape attraction.

equally attractive. Body types are different. One is Adele curvy and the other is kourtney kardashian curvy. But the majority of the men favor the Adele type. I'm curious.

It's how approachable they make themselves. If they are both attractive, and one smiles at me, and the other doesn't, guess who I am going to go up to?

oh yeah, youre right. he doesn't keep up with the kardasians, but he has seen kim alot because when he goes on his email or news, he sees her alot featured, like when she did that photo stint with the butt going out and the champagne glass on her butt?? he was like wtf is that?? lol

They aren't equally attractive. Hence why he approached one over the other...

Men I've talked to about this have usually cited approachability.

I've been approached when I've been in a bad mood and not smiling at all but every time that happened the guy was quite creepy. And that's been quite rare. Usually I'm approached when I'm in a neutral mood or happy and the guy usually won't be creepy.

There will be stretches of time when I'm approached often, and stretches when I'm not at all. My mood is part of the reason, I think, but sometimes I'm not sure why it happens in a patterned way like that. Sometimes during the approach-often phase I will get overwhelmed and not want to leave my house for a few days because it's hard to handle the attention.

I've never been one to approach women so I can't talk abour the initial

But long term, Adele has no real character that I see. She just sings and that's it.

Whereas Kourtneys vibe is very attractive.

So they always approach you?

Yeah or the more common scenario being nothing happens at all.

Two passing ships in the night (violins here)

But any relationship I had they approached me.

When I did online dating ~10 years ago, I had a significantly higher success rate with compatibility, for friendship at the very least, when I initiated contact with men than the other way around.

OK....I get approached by men.... a lot. I consider myself attractive but far from being the prettiest girl in the room and I don't dress or act like a hooker. I have been told that I have a good energy so I'm going to assume that it makes me more approachable.

You have that, "she looks like she'd fuck me" vibe.

Personality, OP. Same with men. I'll choose a not-so-good in the face dude over a handsome and buff man, if the first one has the charisma and persobality I am attracted to.

It's all about who looks more approachable.

Charlize theron 12th house leo, taurus mars.

that's what he believes is lovely.

so, OP, every man has different tastes. lol

I've never been into South African women... and she's no exception.

Besides, who would want Sean Penn's leftovers?

click to expand

apparently she didnt want him. they aren't together anymore. It's so private for them as celebrities, no one knew...unless you go to Wikipedia. Someone at the celeb.com columns must update at Wikipedia to find out on these folks.

i guess Sean Penn is one of those Bad boys. Even Madonna and him couldnt make it.

Most of his high-profile exes have been fire signs. Maybe he needs to work on a Cancer...

that'll tame him.

*rubs hands together and makes a wish that he finds one* lol

yuck, no!

click to expand

lol well you are married, Arielle.

not YOU specifically.

another cancer sun lady...with leo in her planets....because he likes leo suns.

So, let me get this straight ... you're an adult, and actually have to be told this information?

Are you really THAT thick?

Or, if I were to read further, would I find out that this is really about you being butt hurt, in where a guy chose a different than you, so you are so puny that you have resorted to comparing to make a competition.

Did you just admit to fancying an Aries—?

Never thought I'd see the day😛

LOL I made the same mistake as everyone though, I thought we were talking about Khloe, the Cancer.. Kourtney is attractive but she comes off a little jaded. I get why though.

Awh man.. 😛

I can see that though.. Gemini moon connection and all that

Damn, I didn't even realise the Moon placement. That actually makes sense now why she's so tight with Scott. And just saw Lord Disick is an Sun opp Moon, full moon child - true to stereotype lol

So what's the full moon child stereotype?

Split personalities like night and day.
