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?

@dubyalass There’s definitely something about Mike Wozniak, he’s not my type at all, and yet I find him very distracting on Taskmaster... sigh...

Cheekbones you could carve ham on!

Benedict Cumberbatch
Matt Smith
James Marsters (Spike from Buffy)

Normal ones: Broad shoulders. Hairy chest. Decent stubble.

Weirder one: a decent pair of grooves around the mouth area. I can’t explain it, but if a man has those lines, even when not smiling, it seems to elevate him to a whole new level of hotness Blush

Rainbows89 · 22/04/2021 22:22

Forearms .... sorry to be predictable!

Hands

Definitely voice

NamechangeApril21 · 22/04/2021 22:25

I'm a sucker for forearms and thought I was weird but it always comes up on these threads

DenisetheMenace · 22/04/2021 22:27

Brown eyes, beards. Thought dark hair but husband’s is salt and pepper now and I love it.

MindTheBumps · 22/04/2021 22:29

I love the forearms too. Big shoulders and a broad back but not sure they are weird?

Seasidemumma77 · 22/04/2021 22:30

Big strong hands which are used to manual labour

He’s extremely distracting! I was pleased to see he also has very shapely calves on tonight’s show Grin

NoBetterthanSheShouldBe · 22/04/2021 22:35

Broad chest, enough muscle but not a gym bunny. Laughter lines/slight wrinkles. Not quite perfect teeth.

babyguffingtonstrikesagain · 22/04/2021 22:36

Freckles do it for me.

User657849 · 22/04/2021 22:37

A strong voice does it for me.

Kiefer Sutherland is my man...

mrwalkensir · 22/04/2021 22:42

lanky men who pivot round their joints eg Chris Addison in Lab Rats getting up off a sofa. Similarly Guy Flanagan in the pilot episode of "Being Human" (so much better than Aiden Turner!)

Claymorekick · 22/04/2021 22:43

So I wasnt familiar with Mike Wozniak so just googled him. Yep, very sexy - again moustache and dimples combo is doing the trick Wink

My current celeb crush ticks all of the things on my list so no wonder I spend an inordinate amount of time daydreaming thinking about him Grin

It’s not really physical but l go find it very sexy when I see a man reverse a car with his arm over the passenger seat ( hope that makes sense ) my DH will do this when he reverses and it always get him a shag 😂

Shodan · 22/04/2021 22:46

Big hands with long fingers. DP has the most amazing hands and I only have to look at them to get a bit turned on Grin

Hairy chest definitely. Actually, I like men who are quite hairy in general, although not on the shoulders and back, if the hair is springy/fluffy.

As per pps, a good strong nose.

Brown eyes.

Things I hate:
Blue eyes
Sloping shoulders (or where their shoulder muscles are so big that it makes them look slopey)
Girlish features- I don't like the androgynous look at all.
Hairless chests.

CoffeeRunner · 22/04/2021 22:46

I'm 5ft 9in.

I'm only ever really attracted to men the same height or slightly shorter than me.

The amount of women who wouldn't date a shorter man - I've never dated a taller one!

Thismummyruns · 22/04/2021 22:48

Broad shoulders and good legs. 😍

Claymorekick · 22/04/2021 22:52

@Wegobshite I know exactly what you mean! I think it is because it comes across as confident and masterful??

Yes, girly, feminine men are definitely not for me! I definitely definitely like men who are uber-masculine (maybe that explains the moustache thing Confused) - defo hairy chests and deep voices!

Also, just remembered that when Tom Selleck appeared in Friends without his moustache, I did not find him sexy at all so it clearly is the moustache and dimples together Confused

Big hands grey hair. Nice voice,

Gertie75 · 22/04/2021 22:55

Wrinkles by their eyes.
Dark eyes
Bit overweight but not obese.

I REALLY dislike an obvious Adams apple, it gives me the same shuddery feeling you get if you poke your belly button hard!!

Freezehead · 22/04/2021 22:57

Bow legged men especially the way they walk like they can't put their legs together properly Grin

@Wegobshite - I agree about the reversing with arm over the passenger seat! Always liked that

GroggyLegs · 22/04/2021 22:59

I love my DHs long legs and long defined thigh muscles.

My weird thing is teeth - they must be clean & healthy but I love a bit if character, pointy canines or a gap.
Luminous white, perfectly uniform teeth are not attractive!

powershowerforanhour · 22/04/2021 23:02

DH has a fine pair of legs with a neat perfectly shaped arse on top. After a while I noticed (not in a pervy way, I just couldn't help but notice) that it's strongly heritable- FIL has the exact same backside, still, and he's 81.

legalseagull · 22/04/2021 23:05

Red hair. Phwoar.
