INTRODUCTION



A. Background of the Study

There are a lot of beautiful women in our society. The physical features that makes a woman beautiful, according to an article the researcher found in eHow.com, written by Lauren Romano are these: small waist, attractive smile, large eyes, long hair, reasonable sized breasts, and a symmetrical face. Many men are attracted to these physical features. Most men think that those are the physical features that women need to have in order for them to be beautiful and attractive.

According to an article the researcher has found in telegraph.co.uk, which was authored by Andrew Hough, researchers found that most men are highly attracted to women who possesses the hourglass figure and the perfect waist. The researchers calculated the measurement of the perfect waistline. They calculated that the perfect waistline should have the waist-to-hip ratio of 0.7, or a waist measuring 70 percent of the hip circumference. Women who possesses the hourglass figure and the perfect waistline like Marilyn Monroe, Jessica Alba, and Alessandra Ambrosio, where found to have the so called "perfect" body.

What about the face? What should the most attractive face look like or what are the parameters of a beautiful face? Well, according to an article the researcher found in the internet at buzzle.com authored by Tintin, a big forehead; medium sized eyebrows; bright, sparkling, wide eyes, along with thick, long, dark, and curled up lashes; narrow, pointed tipped nose; high cheek bones; full lips; a narrow, tapering chin; Flawless skin; slightly oval shaped face; and prominent dimples, are the things that makes a beautiful face.

But despite the fact that physical beauty has been a big factor when being attracted to a person, the researcher have observed that some men are attracted to women that does not qualify with the physical traits that the researcher mentioned awhile ago. For example, most people think that Natalie Portman is an attractive person. For some men, she's not. Some men would rather pick a woman who is far less attractive than Beyonce Knowles, Angelina Jolie, and other celebrities who qualifies the physical traits that the researcher mentioned awhile ago. In short men have different preferences when it comes to choosing the right one. Some men prefer to look beyond the outer layer. Some men are not really interested in the outside but more of the inside. Some men prefer the inner beauty more than the exterior beauty. 

Is inner beauty something ugly people say to themselves to make them feel better? Some people think that that statement is true but what they don't know is that inner beauty plays a big role in determining whether someone is attractive or not. 


According to an article the researcher has read in lovepanky.com entitled "Why is Inner Beauty More Important Than Outer Beauty?", which was written by Jessica Dawson, there it says that almost all the time, men would only notice the outer appearance at first. But that would happen for only a brief moment. Jessica says there that what actually makes someone more attractive is their inner beauty. Men tend to focus more in the outer beauty than the inner beauty. That's one of the reasons why their relationships most of the time ends in the dumpster. (Source: http://www.lovepanky.com/my-life/reflections/inner-beauty-outer-beauty)


As what Jessica said, we've overlooked the true effort of inner beauty and given all the credit to outer beauty. The researcher totally agrees on this because the researcher happen to have done this before. the researcher focused more on the outer beauty. The spark that the researcher had before was once lost when the researcher new more about that certain woman. 



Since outer beauty is not the only factor that makes a woman attractive, and we now know that inner beauty greatly amplifies the appeal of a woman. The purpose now of this research paper is to find out what the other factors are, besides the physical ones, that contributes in making a woman more attractive to men? What are the other traits besides humble, lovable, gentle, kind, and helpful, makes a woman more attractive to men?
