How do you determine that someone is physically beautiful or handsome?

I realise this may come across as a shallow topic but come on.... we all have certain features we are attracted to. Personally I really like expressive eyes. It's no surprise that they say eyes are the windows to our soul.

I agree with you on the eyes being the windows to our soul. You can tell emotions from them so easily. I first notice teeth, then eyes and lastly hair. And it's funny but I've noticed a pattern in what I decide is hot...I obviously like the tall dark and handsome. I have no idea why but I do. I have to wonder what causes us to be attracted to certain people sometimes...is it really pheromones or maybe something else-like the law of attraction?

There was a study on the television about this. People who have symmetrical faces are more beautiful. The more symmetrical, the better. Also for girls, the more feminine the more attractive. Think of a cat. Small waist, big hips, small nose, small nose, big eyes. Those are normal feminine qualities. Males are more straight, without curves. They have big noses, hands, facial hair, ect. So when a male does not have these qualities then they are less attractive.
