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?

The back of the neck

Claymorekick · 22/04/2021 20:41

So I need to know if he said yes and did it last?

That last post was to @TheWaif Blush did he say yes and did it last?

I've got a bit of a crush on our delivery guy at the moment, he's swarthy and has nice tattoos on each arm. He's Greek, flirts a bit and smells yummy pheromones

musicalfrog · 22/04/2021 20:45

A big nose. I did a whole thread about it a short while back. Lots of people agreed!

Claymorekick · 22/04/2021 20:45

@dubyalass only really saw it in Tom Selleck when he was in Friends then I was like wow 🔥🔥 when 3 men and a baby came out when I was a teenager, I was all over Steve Guttenberg as the cute clean cut one but re-watched it a while ago and Tom was definitely the sexiest! My tastes have clearly changed as i have got older Grin

I finally plucked up the courage to ask him out by email at about 4:30 in the afternoon on a Friday. He didn't reply so I spent the weekend feeling like shit, then it turned out he'd left early Grin. We went out for a couple of months, but it didn't last. He was Australian and leaving soon and it just wasn't going anywhere.

Amazing sex though ;)

SpringCleanDiva · 22/04/2021 20:47

Turn on's for me

Olive skin
Dark hair
Chocolate brown, puppy dog eyes
Rough stubble
Not too tall, but tallish.
A bit chunky. A bit of meat on the bones.

Turnoffs

Blue eyes
Small
Skinny
Feminine hands
Small feet

Claymorekick · 22/04/2021 20:47

I can see that forearms are not that strange after all Grin

But big noses...no thank you!!

I really like tall, skinny men. Which is funny because I am small and fat and basically look like a potato next to them in comparison.

PurBal · 22/04/2021 20:48

Arms, but specifically biceps.

Kintsugi16 · 22/04/2021 20:50

Voice
It’s all about the voice

theotherfossilsister · 22/04/2021 20:50

Deep set eyes

DoingItMyself · 22/04/2021 20:51

Shoulders.

But most of all, musical ability.

NotanotherboxofFrogs · 22/04/2021 20:51

Underarms with a light coating of hair - my DP is not too hairy and I can spend hours much to his amusement just stroking his underarm hair, it's a real turn on for me. He often says I only love him for his perfect quota of underarm hair.

aneres · 22/04/2021 20:53

Ginger hair for me.

Henio · 22/04/2021 20:55

I like a guy who is slightly chunkier, bit of a tummy 🤷‍♀️

MrsTerryPratchett · 22/04/2021 20:56

@DoingItMyself

Shoulders.

But most of all, musical ability.

And I would turn right around if I went home with someone and there was any evidence of musicianship.

There's someone for everyone!

bettertimesarecomingnow · 22/04/2021 20:57

Mmm big muscley arms and chest

Dark hair

Really tall - which is funny cos I'm really small.

Smile - lovely teeth and smiley eyes.

MumofPsuedoAdult · 22/04/2021 20:59

Long hair for me. Think man bun rather than mullet.

isthismylifenow · 22/04/2021 21:02

I love a nice deep voice.

And a good bum in a pair of well fitting jeans. None of this low rise hanging off the bum stuff.

I also quite like casual trakkiie bottom look. I know many hate it. Obvs not for a nice out.

NichyNoo · 22/04/2021 21:03

I love pointy teeth that slant backwards - think David Bowie before he had his teeth done.

Inthesameboatatmo · 22/04/2021 21:05

Strong hairy forearms
Hairy chest
Toned shoulders and back
Brown eyes with long thick eyelashes
Lips like pillows

dubyalass · 22/04/2021 21:17

I am weirdly particular about ears. I don't like earlobes that join straight on to the face, but not do I like large, fleshy separate earlobes. Something in the middle is best. I also don't like massive thumbnails or big toe nails. Yuck.

FedNlanders · 22/04/2021 21:20

Back of neck
Forearms
Calves
