What makes a man or a woman attractive?

Beauty, according to Edgar Allan Poe, is unrelated to symmetry. And, according to Poe, "exquisite beauty always carries with it some strangeness of proportion," which means that the people we find most beautiful have interesting faces rather than perfect faces. Consider some of the most attractive actors, they are not the definition of beauty. In reality, the ideal of beauty is often bland, boring. They have interesting faces instead. Their flaws are what make them perfect.

Murakami, the author, once said that when you fall in love, you don't fall in love with perfection. You fall in love with flaws. Whether it's, I don't know, the earlobe of the person you fall in love with, the thing that no one else notices but you, that's beauty, the perfection of someone's imperfections.
