No matter how good someone may look, attraction may end when they open their mouth—and not for the reasons you might think.

Voice and body reflect each other, that is true. However, I am sick and tired of the deterministic "Social Darwinism," the media-cosmetic eugenicism and the advocacy for sexual promiscuity in the so-called "health" media. Having manypartners is socially destructive, not constructive. The so-called "health" media disgust me when they directly or indirectly try to encourage and enable people to have more partners.

Three cheers for Steve and a gasp of shock. A man actually stating that having multiple sexual partners is NOT a good thing! I wonder if he says this in front of his male friends? Another thought, is Steve one of those who would be considered 'attractive'? Or, are his statements based on bitterness brought about by a lack of 'partners' that he perceives is related to his appearance?

Sure, every woman ideally wants a man to have a deep voice and be proportionately built.
As we get older and wiser, (so I've heard!?!), what matters from the voice is what comes from the heart. If he can communicate genuine, sincere interest and passion when needed. it is far more appealing than a stereotypical voice-tone of a man. We all aren't going to get the Chippendale built men, but if we get one that is truly interested in us as inviduals and who also respects himself as well as us, WE WIN!

What scares me is what a major turn on the sound of a man's deep base voice is, the confidence it projects, his ability to protect, and the ability to take charge of a situation. I have learned the hard way that this can be nothing more than an illusion or some fantasy that I might have. Let's face it. A man with the voice of a base singer has learned he projects authority and knows he can get people to follow with little to no effort. He has the control and may or may not have your best interest. Very sad and I learned the hard way. Please take the time to observe. Allow the time to see how he treats you around others and make sure you are not just seeing what you would like him to be. This will take longer than 3 months. Trust me on this. My heart is still bleeding.

Voice and body related chemistry can sometime be linked but not always. For example a radio anouncer has a voice that works best not on tv but radio, and it could likely be his body appearance isn't considered to be within standards for the society we live in. Or I have been like that girl got a sexy voice but turns out it was completely opposite of the body symmetry. Lika puberty voice change that is something that is not controlled. Singers all have unique voice that you would be like he sound soft and immasculated, but he could be physically very attractive. Or body chemistry can change but the voice is relatively unchanged. There are so many reasons for variance to relativity of voice and body. The problem is that society is based on physical attractiveness and attributes. So in relative this only make partial sense!

Interesting subject. Over the years, I have found that most women "like"my voice. Foreinstance..I used to manage a Resturant and had several of the waitresses ask me to "call there name" either in person or over a speaker (such that is used to advise that an order is ready), also I have had many women over the years call me to "just talk" and
have later been told it is because they like my voice. That being said, I am not a "hunk" but more of a "chunk"...I do not consider myself "good looking" but just average and have never been anyone special. Fore women, I now talk to a woman on a regular basis through my work, but always on a telephone as she is in another state...I have never met her but have developed a mental image of her and I cannot wait to speak to her...her voice is so lovely....strange. There must be something to this study.
