Just musing about this (too much time on my hands Grin).

I have realised that I find the following very appealing and sexy:

Someone with dark hair and blue eyes combination
Strong hairy forearms (preferably tanned)
Men who have moustaches and dimples together (a la Tom Selleck) - this is really weird as I don't really like moustaches on men and would hate DH to grow one but celeb crushes over the years have shown this is a theme for me Confused

I can't be the only one?

Strong hairy forearms for me too. If my partner is wearing a shirt with sleeves rolled up I have to ask him to go in a different room if I’m working as it’s too distracting. He thinks I’m a weirdo as every other partner he’s had has hated how hairy he is.

Everyone says forearms in these threads Grin so it can't be THAT weird?

ToryStelling · 22/04/2021 20:14

I really like big, pronounced eyebrows.

Cactus1982 · 22/04/2021 20:16

I came on to same hairy forearms!😂😂😂

Amelia666 · 22/04/2021 20:16

Fleshy lips 🤩

God yes, if they are sticking out of rolled up sleeves then you have to hold me back Grin

A pair of strong, work-worn hands. DH's hands are gorgeous, I love watching him do diy, washing up, driving, writing..... Blush

Blue4YOU · 22/04/2021 20:22

Argh! No way to moustaches - conjures up firemen in various “erotic” poses with hoses that used to pop up (ahem) in toilets in the nineties.
I’m also a bit odd in that I don’t like men with brown eyes!
I like dark hair (curly/slightly longer).
Not too tall (I’m only 5ft 3) so six foot is more than enough.
Not skinny.
I know more of what I don’t like than what I do

With you all the way on Tom Selleck/moustache and dimples. He is pretty much my ideal man.

I am also a fan of Mike Wozniak, also for the moustache and dimples combo, although less so in Man Down. Too neat.

DinosaurDiana · 22/04/2021 20:23

I love a hairy chest.

TheWaif · 22/04/2021 20:24

I had a from the IT helpdesk lean over my desk to fix my computer with his forearms out. I asked him out on a date on the forearms alone.

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 22/04/2021 20:24

I like brown eyes and a strong nose, both of which DH has. I also find long fingers very attractive, DH has very ordinary fingers but nobody’s perfect.

KindleRemote · 22/04/2021 20:24

Tattoos. There was a bloke I used to work with who was ugly as sin but I thought his tattooed arms were really sexy.Confused

TrixIrl · 22/04/2021 20:26

The Adrian Brody nose!!!

Iminaglasscaseofemotion · 22/04/2021 20:27

Same here. I love a beard on a man, bit the thought of kissing someone with a big hairy face gives me the boak. As soon as dp gets a bit too jaggy he becomes a bit repulsive to me.

DramaAlpaca · 22/04/2021 20:28

A strong nose. I don't find small or turned up noses attractive on men at all.

Neat ears. I hate big ears especially if they have fleshy lobes.

And yes to the forearms, of course.

legalseagull · 22/04/2021 20:29

Thick, strong thighs mmmmm

Iminaglasscaseofemotion · 22/04/2021 20:29

Also smaller stalky men seem to attract me, which is weird because I'm pretty tall and hate being with someone unless they are taller than me.

Silverfly · 22/04/2021 20:31

I love a skinny bloke.

Chunkymenrock · 22/04/2021 20:31

Chunky and cuddly with a lovely smile.

I knew someone would say forearms before I even clicked
MrsTerryPratchett · 22/04/2021 20:33

It's always bookstores forearms.

I'm with people on the light eyes/dark hair combo. And calves that wouldn't look scrawny in a kilt. Can't have a man who can't wear a kilt!

MrsTerryPratchett · 22/04/2021 20:33

Bloody not bookstores!!!

JorisBonson · 22/04/2021 20:34
