Studies have shown that men prefer women with longer-than-average legs and a higher leg-length-to-body ratio. Men's interest in women's legs may explain the preference for tall fashion models. Admiring a woman's legs might have mostly to do with innate attraction to the sensual, rather than the more explicitly sexual.
The team found that regardless of the volunteers' own body shape and leg length, people whose legs were 5% longer than average were rated as the most attractive. The next most appealing was an average leg length, or those that were 10% longer than normal.
Participants were presented with images of people with the same height but varying leg lengths. Their research supported that all genders find longer legs attractive; the majority preferred legs 5% longer than average, and the ideal female leg length was found to be 1.4 times the length of the upper body.
In brief, a woman's legs can at once please and tease. And while the partial display, or exposure, of a woman's breasts or butt “function” more obviously in this seductive manner, it's undeniable that for many men a pair of shapely legs alone have the power to effect this enthralled response.
Straight and slender legs are considered especially attractive, say researchers because they combine fragility and strength.
The most attractive female body type is characterized by a low waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) of about 0.7. This body type is also known as the hourglass figure. This means that the waist is only 0.7 times as wide as the hips, or the hips are 1.43 times wider than the waist.
Her figure? If, like many men, an 'hourglass figure' is your golden ticket, then you're not alone. A new study, published in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior, has claimed men think women with a 'low waist-to-hip ratio (WHRs)' – or 'hourglass' figures to the layman – have the most attractive bodies.
On top of that, the most important confirmation of my research is that men do indeed prefer women without body hair, no matter if it's located in the leg and/or armpit.

Women are attracted to men with a nice pair of long legs because they appear healthy and wealthy. Men have always been attracted to women with a nice pair of legs. But it now seems the opposite is also true. A study of almost 800 women found that they too are attracted to leg length.
More than 50% of people have a subtle difference in their leg lengths. These mild variations usually do not cause problems. However, for the small percentage of people with a leg length difference greater than 2 cm, the difference in length can affect their well-being and quality of life.
Leg length must approximate 50 percent of total stature to achieve the biomechanical efficiency of the human striding bipedal gait.
"When men were evaluating a short-term mate for a one-night stand they showed equal interest in her face and body instead of the face winning by a blowout." For long-term 75 percent of male participants wanted to see the face, but for short-term flings 50 percent of men chose face and 50 percent chose the body.
Heterosexual men tend to be attracted to women who have a youthful appearance and exhibit features such as a symmetrical face, full breasts, full lips, and a low waist–hip ratio.

As long as they are not attached to a lycra-wearing cyclist, women find longer legs more attractive than longer arms, according to a study carried out by Cambridge University scientists. This is because having legs a bit longer than average may be linked to strength and good health.
Though scientists are not exactly sure on the reason behind it, people with longer legs have an increased risk of developing blood clots in the legs when compared to those with shorter legs. This is likely due to the length it takes blood to travel to the heart in those with longer legs.
Food sources: Daddy long legs feed on decaying plant matter and small invertebrates, so if you have a lot of dead leaves or other organic matter around your home, this can attract them. They may also be attracted to areas with a lot of insects, as these are a food source for many species.

According to science, men find women more attractive when they are smart, intelligent, caring, confident, humorous, kind, independent, and supportive.
The average 'perfect man' would be just a tad taller than 6 feet with a weight of 187lbs. That's roughly the size of Bradley Cooper, Channing Tatum or Gerard Butler, in case you were wondering. They also collected data on the most desirable body traits and body parts.
