Salma Hayek's dating essence

Salma Hayek is tired of dating men who are only interested in her body.

The voluptuous actress, who recently split from fiance Francois-Henri Pinault, insists the opposite sex need to accept a woman's body will change when they have babies.

Salma, who has a 14-month-old daughter Valentina with Francois, said: "I think it is important for men to learn to follow someone's essence.

"So regardless of what happens to the body, they can stay in love. You know, for us women it is easier to have a relationship with someone just because of that. For a man they need that plus the other stuff.

"They need to push further and not just look at you as a human body, but as a fellow soul. But so many of them don't, you know."

The 42-year-old beauty has been previously romantically linked to Edward Norton, George Clooney, Colin Farrell and Josh Lucas.
