Why do I find big noses such a turn on? Yet another crush!

Oh my gosh, if I meet a man with a big nose, even if he's not my usual type, likelihood is I'm in trouble! What is it about them?

Anyone else?

you mean like a roman nose? i get like that too its strange

musicalfrog · 01/03/2021 23:50

Yes!

I think it all started a long time ago with David Duchovny and it's just increased over time!

David Duchovny has a big conk? . . . I've never noticed!

ShaneTheThird · 01/03/2021 23:54

I get it. I fancy Zlatan Ibrahimović.

musicalfrog · 01/03/2021 23:57

Googles... Wow another one! Thanks @ShaneTheThird

Peter Barlow is another one.

How big is his nose now?

Wondermule · 01/03/2021 23:59

Do you have a big nose yourself? I do, and small noses are a turn off for me - they look like pencils and leave too much blank space on the face, like David Cameron.

CovidKingfisher · 02/03/2021 00:01

Ooh yes I do like a big nose on a man.

TheLeadbetterLife · 02/03/2021 00:02

Big noses look great on men and women. I really dislike the Hollywood fashion for baby button noses on women - most of the actresses get nose jobs and all end up with the same, indistinct, weirdly-small noses.

A good conk can be so chic and dignified.

Oh very good @TheSandman Grin

Yes I do @Wondermule must be a connection there.

I'm never getting to sleep now!

You’re wasted in your day job, @TheSandman. Grin

I agree about small noses looking quite silly and irrelevant on certain types of face, male or female. I’ve always thought Brad Pitt and Leonardo di Caprio have too-small noses. Angelica Huston or Lady Gaga would look far less striking if they had little noses. So would Julia Roberts.

musicalfrog · 02/03/2021 00:07

So right about women with larger noses too. Hadn't really thought about it before but it's true. They really mark a person out.

Another one here. I have a typically small Irish nose but have a big thing for big noses. 1970’s Pete Townshend, Jason Segal, Adrian Brody, Chris O’Dowd.

Wondermule · 02/03/2021 00:09

@letthebirdssing sorry to tag you, but I thought you may find this thread interesting Grin

You’re so right! Irish people tend to have small noses, thinner lips and sort of pointed chins I’ve noticed. English people have bigger noses, fuller lips and higher cheekbones. Just compare Jonathon sexton with Chris robshaw 😂😂

Strange isn’t it!

NuttySlacker · 02/03/2021 00:12

The serious answer is that bigger noses are linked to higher testosterone levels - especially indicating high levels of exposure in the womb. One possible link being high testosterone = bigger muscles = greater need for oxygen to feed those muscles = bigger nose to allow better airflow.

(Obviously genetics also play a big role in nose size).

Hence, men with big noses tend to score higher in things like perceived virility or assumed success Smile

Hence you think big nose = better sexy times! Grin

musicalfrog · 02/03/2021 00:13

Omg Jason Segal YES! I am so glad I started this thread. Best brainstorming session ever!

I needed this thread. My nose is huugee 👃

Andylion · 02/03/2021 00:34

I don't think Jason Segal has a big nose at all.

SackofTurtles · 02/03/2021 00:46

Every time I flick past this title, I read it as ‘Why do a find big HOUSES such a turn on?’ Grin

As Elizabeth Bennet said at Pemberley...

RestlessMillennial · 02/03/2021 01:22

@TheLeadbetterLife As a woman I feel so much better about my roman nose now thank you! Grin
