#5. Defined Chest
The Perett’s book In Your Face: The New Science of Human Attraction reveals that women are strongly attracted to men who sport body that resembles hunter’s physique.
So, in addition to the already mentioned strong shoulders, wide back and narrow waist line, chest play the crucial role in determining your attractiveness.

#6. Muscular Arms

#8. Expressive Face

#9. Mouth
Bad boys seems to have advantage in this respect. According to a research conducted by the University of British Columbia women find gloomy men more attractive than happy guys.
However, this doesn’t mean that you need to lose your smile. Although your smile may improve your social interaction, when it comes to s*xual attraction women tend to go for guys that look proud, strong, mysterious and little moody.
#10. Facial Hair
