Sure there are some general agreed upon ideas of "beauty" (symmetry, etc), but there is also a lot of variation. One of my good buddies I grew up with is highly attractive to (for the lack of better words) fat women. He loves them chunky. He's not a small guy himself, but I wouldn't consider him "fat." But for whatever reason, that's what he finds hot, and several years ago he found one and married her. She's neither highly intelligent or motivated. He literally finds her super sexy and of course loves how good she is to him. It's interesting for sure. I have no idea what psychological situations led to him feeling this way, but the fact remains it is what it is. Good for him. If more of us could be like him, many men (and women) would likely be way happier as well as society as a whole, or at least American society.

As for what NSD said about hot, I think there's a disconnect in terminology here. We've all known the "hot" girls in high school who blossomed too fast and flamed out too early, only to be hideous in their 30s. But they were 9s or 10s in HS. That's where we get the hot is no good from. From personal experience. (And I'm sure we all can think of someone off the top of our heads just like I described).
Now sexiness, that's something completely different. Sexy women ARE often intelligent, charming, and yes, good in bed.
And back to Dodd - you bring out a good point about differences. I personally find the Kardashians and Jennifer Love Hewitt both highly unattractive because they have skinny heads. But some of you will think the opposite.
Then some of you would call Kate Winslet too fat. I think she's sexy as hell.
So yes, us guys don't agree on anything when it comes to women.
As for good genes, good genes are a sign that the woman is not going to die in childbirth. That's why attractive women are attractive. It hits us all on a primal level.
As for me personally, the Brazilians got it right. They appreciate a good butt. Americans generally don't. We tend to go ga ga over girls with no butts. 🤔
Alas, I stand by what I said earlier. If I were making $8 million a year, my mistress would be a hell of a lot more attractive. But then like I said earlier, I'm a shallow guy.
