Is it true that men love through eyes and women through ears?

In other words men fall in love attracted by the physical appearance of women and women on the other hand fall in love when they hear romantic words from men. What do you think about this concept?

I general, I would say that both men and women are attracted by the physical appearance but more so for men than for women.

I'm just stating the way things are from my observation. Glad to see that we both view things the same way, in general that is.

How do you explain online love then? What are they seeing, and what are they hearing?

Online love ? Sure does sound a little weird.

no I d o not really think that holds for many of us, as I was attracted by the amused glint in my husband to be's eyes, and his cute butt then by the way he told me of his family, it was as though we two shared so many things like love of our f amilies, and the things we believed in and di not believe in,as for his romantic words no not at all, a lot of guys would a whole lot rather show us how they feel about us then come ou t and say I love you. And as for how I attracted him, He liked it that I was shy with people yet also very compassionate, an introvert and an intellectual with the to me awfulest pale caramel colored hair. He told me he loved my hair color, and the way I reacted and treated my patients every day at work.I tried to be outgoing and made a total mess of it and thats when he told me he was attracted to my shy but compassionate way with people at work.,

Of course in the first place looks plays a role. You choose a partner who is equal to your personality. Then what happens. What makes them to get closer? Nice to note you liked your hubby's eyes so much and fell for him. It's true that most men like shy women and good looking hair.

Hi vijayanths, To some extent i believe it is true. Men fall easily for looks and some women do fall in for a guy who flatters her reasonably, lol. Although, not all good looking girls are beautiful and not all sweet talking men are gentlemen.

Oh, that's interesting Voldrox. Can you explain it in detail "not all good looking girls are beautiful and not all sweet talking men are gentlemen". I know that all sweet talking men may not be gentlemen but no idea about what you said about beautiful women.

They might be gorgeous looking but not exactly beautiful, did you get it now ?

Beauty comes from inside. Most gorgeous looking women can turn out to be ugly.

I do not think all men and women fall in love attracted by the mere physical appearance of each other. There are people who will develop liking each other by the knowledge, intelligence, financial status, and smartness too. Matured love will not look into physical appearance which will be faded away in some day but only the inner beauty like nature, character and culture will be seen by some men and women

That's a great response from you vathsala. I know that you will like only real love and not physical attraction. That's so nice of you. That is why your hubby is loving you a lot I think. Good one.

yes! because men is weaker than women.....a man can easily be deceived by a woman tantalizing eyes, they thought that the woman likes them...but a woman, needs to be persuaded by hearing good words from a man....they need to listen first before getting into trouble, hehehehe............ :d

well said, reulin, you are right. women need to listen first before getting into a serious relationship and of course trouble then.

Me thinks - women lie to themselves - even when they are in wrong type of relationship. They dont want to dump in the beginning hoping they can correct it or remaining in the dream world, whatever it is. It is good to acknowledge even the wrong in the person so that we know what we can adjust and what we cant, and take on the relationship from there if need be!!!

In am not so sure about this theory. I have tried to date people before that were just as sweet as they could be but they were not attractive to me. It was a no go. I could not picture any romance in the future so I could not continue seeing the person since he was very attracted to me and wanted a future with me. I think when you look at real love the kind that stays forever thow it has to involve both. Because its often the case that if the person is not very nice then the other person begins to see them as not so attractive based on attitude alone.

hi, ladygator as you rightly pointed out this theory may not work for all, it will work for some people only.

I’ve never really given it a thought this way but now that you say, it does seem so true. From what we see around us, it does seem that men get attracted by the face and apparent physical beauty in girls the first them they meet. Regarding ladies, though I must say that the initial physical attraction is very much there just like men but after that ladies do love to hear those love words being cooed in their ears, more than anything else. A guy that does not talk much about mushy romance and false promises, does come across as very boring LOL

hi, sudiptacallingu , yes, to some extent this seems to be right. And i also agree with you that a man without romantic talk will be too boring for a woman.

Some men fall for the beauty they see and some women fall for the words they hear but these days there are as many women you fall fir what they see. And a cunnig womsan could make a guy fall for the words she says. Every person is different.

I agree. But there is always an exception to the common rule.

hi, sarahruthbeth22 you are absolutely right. These days some men fall for words and some women fall for looks. I think even today most men may fall for looks and women for words, this is my opinion, though.

hello dear anna, I guess both sexes fall in attraction first with physical appearance and other qualities comes next. But true love comes from the heart and not from the eyes or ears. That is why there were some cases of "love is blind" Have a great Sunday dear anna

hi, dear sister jai, it's true that we all fall in love starting with the looks of the other person. But man seems to focus his attention on seeing her while she wants to hear more from him, that's what I thought of sharing here.

Hi, sagar it's true that people fall in love depending on their taste.

it is kind of true, since men always look at the girl's look first and there in her heart. too bad though, because myself being a girl I look at man's heart a lot too, because if a man is hot, but a jerk, who loves those, right? it may sound a bit rude, but that's what I think.

hi, ap0calyptic you sound very practical and meaningful. I can understand your views. I think you are right.
• Philippines
22 Aug 10
YES & NO. :) It's just a saying but not literary a GENERAL TRUTH. It's true that most men do fall in love through physical appearance of women. SOME ARE LIKE THAT, BUT SOME AREN'T. Same goes with the saying that women fall in love because of men's "sweet words", "humble words", etc. SOME ARE ALSO LIKE THAT, BUT SOME AREN'T. Maybe that saying is 80% true because it's not a general truth. :) But you know what, as far I can see, that statement is TRUE for ALMOST EVERYONE I know who are involved in a relationship. :S

hi, girlaloosh01 , glad to note you think so beautifully for your young age. Exceptions will be there everywhere and in everything. We usually talk about the majority people.

I think it's true to an extent. But generally the first thing that attracts you to a person is what you see. That attraction can either grow or decrease over time depending on that person's true personality. I think it's good to try and look you're best (most of the time) because if you respect and care for your body so will your partner.

You are right dance4life. In the first place looks plays a big role. Every one gives importance for the appearance first. Then other things follow.We usually choose a partner who matches our personality.

I agree to a certain extent that women fall in love from the heart as well.

Hi, hardworkinggirl, I think you are right. Many women seem to fall when guys talk romantic words and act romantic.

Just like any other generalization, it's true for some people and not for others. There are many things that can make a person attractive besides their looks and what they say. I was never interested in romantic words and probably would have had a hard time not laughing at any man who tried them on me. I fell in love with my husband because we shared a lot of interests, and because he was extremely intelligent. He wasn't handsome, and he didn't try to romance me.

yeah, I can understand your views catana. In fact I do gave a lot of importance for intelligence while choosing the partner. To me beauty comes next to other top qualities.
