- Yes, all those are important--I'm rarely attracted to anyone who lacks
- them. (Well, I have to waffle on the hair part--I know one quite
- attractive woman who is bald.)

- More than any given physical feature or suite thereof, it's a matter
- of attitude--body language, expressions, and what they say and do counts
- for a lot more than mere physical appearance.

- The hair, usually, though some people don't use anything more than shampoo.

- Frequently, yes--one of the most common reasons I'll find a particular
- physical feature attractive is that it reminds me of someone I used to
- be involved with.
