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?

Actually no, that's not strictly true. I just don't like thin attached earlobes.

inigomontoyahwillcox · 22/04/2021 21:24

A nose that's on the larger side ... for some bizarre reason!

bubblebath62636 · 22/04/2021 21:25

Beards
Broad shoulders and collarbones

Sparklingbrook · 22/04/2021 21:26

Don't get the forearms thing really, hairy or otherwise. Nooo to moustaches/beards.

I like a hairy chest though.

SimonJT · 22/04/2021 21:32

Plump lips, particularly the lower lip.

Beard
Fleshy lips
Big nose

(Got to be circumcised too)

ZednotZee · 22/04/2021 21:34

Blue or green eyes. I really, really dislike brown eyes.

Eyjafjallajokulldottir · 22/04/2021 21:38

Protruding eyes. See Remi malek or Steve Buscemi.

I love it when DH grooms his facial hair so it's like a short stubble on his face but his neck is completely smooth. That drives me mad, I just want to bite him on his lovely neck. And when he has his hair cut with a really, really short back and sides so you can see the skin through the hair. It's so... Manly, or something? He looks great like that.

My ideal figure on a man is tall and strong with a little bit of softness around the middle. I saw a boxer on TV once and he was so big and strong and muscular, but when he took a punch his belly wobbled slightly. That was wicked sexy for some reason.

(Then there's the big Greek nose and a white shirt with sleeves rolled up. Didn't realise how many others had a thing for those until I saw it on Mumsnet!)

Hairy forearms defo don’t do it for me

SweatyBetty20 · 22/04/2021 21:45

Back of the neck.
That bit at the small of his back.
Hairy chest.
Bit of a dad bod - don’t like skinny.
Ungroomed hair - I don’t like dead short. Boyfriend’s grew in lockdown and he’s blonde, so he looks like a shaggy surfer.

I think the lines on Tobias Menzies’ face are sooooooooo sexy. Also love pointy ears and long canines!!

Am I weird?

Clawdy · 22/04/2021 21:58

Nice white teeth.
Lovely clear eyes.
A neat bottom.

GNCQ · 22/04/2021 22:05

A big nose is supposed to make you think of a big dick apparently.

My weakness is voice.

I got proper limerence (completely utterly sexually obsessed) for a man on his voice alone it was so becoming.

altlife · 22/04/2021 22:07

A chunky butt 🤷🏽‍♀️

I love a guy with a grabbable ass!

itbemay1 · 22/04/2021 22:07

@Henio

I like a guy who is slightly chunkier, bit of a tummy 🤷‍♀️
Me too!
optimistic40 · 22/04/2021 22:08

Deep philtrums (the groove between the nose and mouth, for those less obsessed than I am)

Looking comfortable in themselves, def not trying too hard to be attractive!

Laughter lines around the eyes

ConnectedToSandsview · 22/04/2021 22:10

Ginger beards.

Dearzooimsickofyou · 22/04/2021 22:12

Also love Tom selleck too, from being a kid watching Magnum, to in Friends

Also, dark hair, blue eyes (this is my colouring too, so that seems a bit weird 🤣)

Irish guys

Back of neck and a fairly thick neck 🤷🏻‍♀️

Fairly thick calves

Good forearms

Stubble/beard

MolotovMocktail · 22/04/2021 22:13

I like veiny hands.

ladygindiva · 22/04/2021 22:14

Square Broad shoulders are essential
Nice decent sized hands
Thick hair
Have never been attracted to anyone without the above

Yamaya · 22/04/2021 22:14

Eye bags

Nellle · 22/04/2021 22:17

Traps (the muscle between neck and shoulder) 🤤
