What really random physical features do you find attractive in the opposite sex?

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?

That V shape formed by ridge of muscle from the hip to the groin on each side.

BeenAsFarAsMercyAndGrand · 23/04/2021 21:48

Forearms in rolled up sleeves for sure. They don't have to be hairy though.

Same BeenAsFarAsMercyAndGrand. I found myself bizarrely unable to stop looking at Jeremy Hunt’s arms when he did all that NHS propaganda trolley pushing with his sleeves rolled up, even though I can’t stand him. I didn’t know forearms was a thing until I read this thread!

Also like a smooth chest.

@ Holothane
He plays the bad guy - but in a smooth way
It’s an old film but ok
I watch it to drool over Eric 😂

Titsywoo · 23/04/2021 22:11

Chunky men - not attracted to overly muscular defined bodies at all
Hairy - love body hair and a beard
A big nose - particularly a wide bridge of the nose (usually broken I suppose)

MorriseysGladioli · 23/04/2021 22:27

Scars are sexy..
I also like when a mans t shirt rides up a bit (while they're blokeishly fixing stuff) and there is a line of hair from their belly, to the inside of their snug fitting jeans, and beyond.

Holothane · 23/04/2021 23:48

Right will check it out Eric as Bad guy thud.

Missingthesea · 23/04/2021 23:53

Straight eyebrows.

Nonmaquillee · 23/04/2021 23:56

Hairy chest
Strong forearms

Divineswirls · 23/04/2021 23:57

I love a cleft palate. I know that this stems from a boy who lived near me who I adored when I was 8.
Which means I really fancy the actor Tom Burke. My heart literally does somersaults when I watch him on screen because of it.

PatriciaBateman · 24/04/2021 00:03

Black skin, the darker the more beautiful. (I'm pale as a ghost)

And not actually being the opposite sex. Came to this understanding far, far too late in life.

Xboxstolemychildren · 24/04/2021 00:15

Dad bod, toned muscle men do nothing for me
And big hands that are just the right amount rough as they are smooth.

BusLaneLady · 24/04/2021 00:17

Slightly hairy but veiny forearms especially in a tight suit and jacket off, shirt sleeves rolled, nice watch on and I will cheat on dh if I see that Grin

MorriseysGladioli · 24/04/2021 00:17

I like brawny rather than sculpted.
Big and beefy.

But enough about me..

LorelaiVictoriaGilmore · 24/04/2021 00:22

Ginger/red hair (which DH has)
Really good teeth but not too perfect (which DH has - ever so slightly chipped front tooth)
Tall (DH is 5’12’’ - would love it if he was taller)
Good navy suit with a pink shirt (those were the good old days...)

Just woke up DH, demanding to look at his forearms to see if that was a thing... he was unimpressed and refused to show me his arms. Grin

Holothane · 24/04/2021 00:24

😂😂😂😂

JamesMiddletonsMarshmallows · 24/04/2021 00:25

Big noses!

fluffyatemycake · 24/04/2021 00:37

Broad shoulders and big hands for me. I also like a hairy chest.

jorisbonsonstoupe · 24/04/2021 00:37

Weathered hands. God my partners hands give me fanny gallops.

Becles · 24/04/2021 00:38

Forearms and left handers.

I'm currently massively crushing on James Currie from Sorted food.

Forearms
Left hander
Scottish
Ginger
Sarcastic as heck
Casual use of marshal arts to take down an attacker
Absolutely a dom
Quietly adorable
even bakes his own bread

I need a lie down

msssm · 24/04/2021 01:04

Big nose. Cuddly. Longish hair, curly or straight I'm not fussed 😄

NigelWithTheBrie79 · 24/04/2021 01:06

It's not a feature but when my rugby playing husband would grant my request of coming straight home before showering... Grin

NigelWithTheBrie79 · 24/04/2021 01:08

Also slightly wonky teeth. I find the hounds grimace (Game of Thrones fella) very sexy Blush

Holothane · 24/04/2021 01:31

@Wegofshite I’ll just leave these here.
