After seeing that other thread, i figured that what the guys of MAL like is as much of a mystery as what the girls like, so why not...
Is it really just big boobs as the OP of that thread claims?

Mod Edit: Please give reasons as to why certain characteristics appeal to you. Don't just list.

In a word: Tomboys. A personality that is willing to get down and dirty (not sexually) and have fun. I don't like submissiveness, and being too nice is also annoying. I want them to stick up for themselves, but not be hot headed. On a physical side, Short ish hair, small breasts, bright eyes (color, not sparkles). I like them short, (NOT A F'ING LOLI) and dark hair. That would be a short summery.

Hair and voice is usually the key for me, then personality, but I'm not very picky with that.

A girl who doesn't give a fuck about anything, is sadistic, has cool hair, has those big breasts, and is Akeno Himejima.
This amkes a female anime character attractive to me.

I let the other thread live because there were a good amount of decent posts in it aside from the simple listing ones. I'll do the same for this one, because it's relatively new.

Voice and personality and sometimes talents especially if it pertains to dance (a good dancer often makes a good wife) or her talents and skills are ladylike or ends making her more ladylike.

Average looks or above, good personality and most importantly, that she doesn't fall into any of the damn stereotype (Tsundere, kuudere,...etc) Like Watashi.
Your honor, I never wrote this post.

Urabe from Mysterious Girlfriend X... she falls into no generic archetypes, is fairly cute and reminds me a lot of Senjougahara. I'm not a man to say cute as well. Period

The same things that make real women attractive; their personality and their looks.

The #1 thing I look for is their hair, and the hair color. Second is their personality. I have a thing for Tsunderes so I immediately love them :3. The body is just an extra

+ I usually dislike titty monsters, they somehow make me feel threatened, and over sexualized characters in general + independent + not dumb.

Looks, personality, long hair . I like badass, sexy, dominant female characters who aren't abusive (especially to their loved ones) and can show their vulnerable sides sometimes. I also like female characters that are loyal, cute and sweet. Attire also plays a part for me, I'm not going to like a female character simply because she is wearing skimpy clothes. For me her clothes should match her personality, give her sex appeal while also making her seem well groomed.

I have a pretty simple taste in anime girls. Though just because she has a trope or archetype I favor doesn't mean she'll always be my favorite, rather in the end, it's usually because I don't like the other girls that that girl becomes my favorite since she's the only one left.

Generally though, I like the ones that when they appear, just make the show much more fun or enjoyable.

I can't stand a female character : If she makes stupid grimaces at others, always has to be right, sulking when something's not according to her, shouts unnecessarily, makes stupid complains, is way too self-conscious, overreacting, is airhead

Hair, voice and personality. I like the stronger and shy female characters because they can be really strong but is actually cute and shy inside. I also like tomboys because they arent afraid to get a bit dirty.

As far as exterior goes, I always have a soft spot for those gem stone moeblobbin' eyes. I'm not really concerned with things like breast size, I'll take my waifus in all shapes and sizes so long as they're slim and physically fit (aka ideal body frame for her proportions). That's why I'm often drawn to lolis despite not having a preference towards them aka I'm not all "hurr flat prepubescent chest!" just like big boobs aren't an automatic bed winner either.

Personality wise I like anime girls who are caring, aren't judgmental, don't gossip or partake in many of the activities which made me give up on a serious relationship with most women. The kind you could just pour your whole heart out to without fear of being betrayed or forsaken.

That and tsunderes, because winning over their dere side is challenge accepted.

Hairstyle, skinny, pretty face, beautiful eyes, cold personality, and be seen to do feminine things, like brushing their hair, or looking in a compact mirror.

I find ice queens to be the most attractive types of characters in anime.

The only real anime character that looks attractive is Motoko Kusanagi. She dresses provocatively but she doesn't care and I'm not bothered by it. She's also smart and strong and her voice sounds great.

The voice and personality of course, and they don't have to be good in appearance.
Also the art style for the character.

There's some cute characters but annoying personality like Mirai (kyoukai no kanata), Chitanda (hyouka) and Rikka (chuunibyou) so personality before looks and I also hate tsundere.
Big bonus if she's dandere with cute voice.

- Their hair. I prefer it long not short. And black or blonde
- Their attitude, i prefer tsundere
- Their voice. I don't like those high pitch ones.
- They can stand up for themselves.

I thought I posted here already O_o apparently it didn't work.

Slim body (irrelevant since 99.99% of girls in anime are really thin)
Cute face
Cute haircut(Ponytails are kawaii)

For personality I like it when they are pushy but not on sadistic territory ala Esdeath.

...or any loli ever... tee hee

Mostly I just like them to be able to hold their ground with the male counterparts (I.E they aren't swayed or dragged along and have their own distinct quirks / personalities). Making them pretty is a bonus too

Penis size. Oh wait wrong thread.

The first thing I look at is their hairstyle. Bonus if they change it a lot like Risa from Lovely Complex.

I was going to say "twintails" but then I looked at my fav characters, and none of them have that hairstyle...

looks -> pretty
personality -> attractive

It's whatever personality trait that all of my favorites have... a more serious disposition? Strong willed? Emotionless? I'm not sure.

Let's see, voice, hair and personality are the most important factors imo, if they fall into a stereotype i like, it's even better!

Well, femininity always helps LOL. I'm not into butch/powerful/short-haired females that can kick my ass, usually (save Major). What's especially attractive is strong moral character. Good example is Kurisu in Steins Gate. A way overrated show, but I was taken by her soft spot and blind devotion/faith she puts in Okabe in their crisis, and how it was used as a springboard for romantic development.

Hm... I would consider female character attractive who is strong, strong willed, independant, but not too much, and should also have a warm, humorous, up beat personality. Voice is not a big deal, but it is impossible if a character has high pitched voice. Boob size is really not that important, but since we are talking about attractiveness so it is prefered to be medium.

The most repulsive and cringe inducing female characters would be anything like Onodera aka shy, oblivious, stuttering, cowardly. Woman has to be brave.

I like a lot of tsundere characters with different tsundere characteristics. In the end, tsundere girls that are blonde, or honestly any tsundere hair color are my favorite. Oh, I like tsunderes too.

If they have a good character design look cute, wear a skirt or hotpants, long hair, Darker hair colour, not small like a lolli and light skinned. I like this kind of girl.

My favorite girls are smart, independent, weird, and they don't give a shit about what other people think.
Examples: Senjougahara (from Bakemonogatari), Kuroneko (from Oreimo), Miyako (from Ef: A Tale of Memories), Kurugaya (from Little Busters).

Character design doesn't really matter since 99% of anime girls are cute.

this is true, mainly the only time they aren't is when they are fat or old(er).
