I believe that the surveyors probably chose that word on purpose. It seems that
they were attempting to find out what various men equate with the term 
"attractive". You have answered that question quite well. To me the term
refers to whatever attracts one person to another. There are a great number 
of things which I might find attractive in another person. Physical beauty is
one of them.
