Attractive means something different for everyone....
For me, it starts with the heart.
Then the smile, then the eyes.
The heart because then you know how genuine they are
The smile because you know if they are a happy, soft caring person
And the eyes because you can see straight through someones eyes and learn a lot about them
Its all about their character...
Looks are a bonus haha

Wellll...
We live in a fallen world, and as fallen people we aren't perfect - inside or out. Jesus Himself was not physically beautiful.
Isaiah 53:2 says,
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
We can state that all things are beautiful - and it is true that God looks on all of his creation and says "It is good", but we can't really deny that some things are more physically beautiful to us than others. Wish it weren't that way, but realistically that's just how it is. I don't believe that beauty is such a blessing though. Many beautiful beautiful people are very very insecure and unhappy. I'd rather be mediocre and have joy.

Funny how you guys are talking about appearances not mattering and that nobody's ugly, and yet... there's a thread made of preferences and what one would rather have when comparing two features about someone as to who they'd date and who they wouldn't.
So much for appearance not mattering.
But yes, there is a distinction between attractive and unattractive and we all fall victim as to what we want to see and how we want to be seen. We judge even if it's subconsciously and tend to find certain things ugly (-ahem- I mean 'unattractive') about others and may even avoid it.
Guess I should refrain while looking like a jerk. I will say that I think for those who are unattractive by most standards, I can have a say because I've been on the other side.
