"As such, men tend to be visually (physically) oriented and stimulated when looking for a potential mate or when maintaining the pair-bond with our chosen mate. While a woman's mental attributes (personality, intelligence, etc.) are certainly important, it is her physical attributes which take center stage when it comes to sexual attractiveness and arousal in a man. Because of this, men tend to be a bit 'boiler-plate' in what they find sexy and attractive, although tastes do vary somewhat from culture to culture and man to man."
I don't really agree with this. While the physical attributes may initially attract us IMO it is of much lessor importance when chosing a mate. Not to break the man code here but.... just about all guys joke about hot chicks with no brains and how their only really good for one thing. They are strictly for scoring with. When it comes to falling in love and making a decision about a long term mate the mental aspects play a much higher role/importance. The true intamacy that is discussed and wanted here by just about everyone here can't IMO occur without the emotional/mental/personality/etc... factors.
Sure -- we all want to score with the hot chick - but few of us want a long term intimate relationship with one we don't admire and respect. In my opinion a *truly* hot chick is one that has the other things - and the physical traits are secondary.
