What is it with men’s arms?

BiscuitLover3678 · 19/05/2022 20:02

I’m attracted to all sort of attributes, personalities and looks but… oh my, there is always something about men’s arms I really like. They don’t even have to be ‘good’ arms, it’s just something that always gets me 😂

who else is the same? If not arms, what is it? If you are attracted to women then I am curious as to what it is!

This😂 is after the Zelensky thread where.. yes, he has very good arms.

Clearly a very lighthearted thread!

I’ve heard the arm thing from other women too. Is is the same for men who like men?

I actually really like men's arms and armpits!! when a man puts his arms above his head.

I love an arm.

Tanned is nice. Good natural muscle tone. (not keen on gym bunny look).

When DH gets in from work (builder) he often has these big veins running down his inner forearms and i think .... oooooh!

😊

It’s funny isn’t it. I always notice nice eyes, smile etc but arms alone will make me giddy!

Yes! There's something on bbc iplayer (i think) which has a pic. showing a soldier in combat gear (and some sort of mask iirc) with his hands behind his head and these big muscly arms and pits and i always pause briefly before scrolling past .... 💪

I find naturally toned mens arms really distracting. The kind they get from just being busy doing stuff rather than intentional from the gym.

Peak distraction is when they've been hiding under shirt sleeves all day then said shirt sleeves are rolled up. This isn't remotely linked to whether I find the man owning the distracting arms attractive!

@ResentfulLemon

i love the way you describe the feeling as ‘distraction’.

I am similarly often ‘distracted’ the same way😁😁😁

I think a man’s arms are much sexier with rolled up cuffs rather than a short sleeved T-shirt, no idea why! 😂

vipersnest1 · 19/05/2022 20:22

It's legs and bum for me - with a decent 'lunchbox' in the mix!

h0tXberns · 19/05/2022 20:23

Totally agree. It's forearms really.

Laughing at "lunchbox"- haven't heard that for years

TheVolturi · 19/05/2022 20:23

Oooooh yes, arms. Hairy forearms for me, uhhhhhhh

Definitely!

Short sleeved shirts are so off putting. Especially those jaunty plaid ones from Next or wherever. Rolled up sleeves roll up the sexiness.

I love a chonky arm. And an inviting downy pit.

Oooh I like arms too. I like it when DP reverses the car and does that thing with his arm over the passenger seat as he look back. Sadly we have reversing cameras now.

Oblomov22 · 19/05/2022 20:28

Love mens arms.

Pennox · 19/05/2022 20:29

I think it's because they're very different/larger than women's arms. DHs wrists are at least 3 X thicker than mine. And his arms are so heavy! When he sometimes falls asleep with his arm over me and it goes into a dead weight I can't even lift it off 😆

Andromachehadabadday · 19/05/2022 20:32

I love arms. Specifically shoulders and triceps.

first thing I noticed about dp was his smile and I thought he was gorgeous. But I was definitely hooked when I saw him in a t-shirt. I was definitely….distracted 🙈

Maybe that’s it. I also think a T-shirt is great as they’re slightly hidden.

Yes! I’ve noticed this on men I wouldn’t generally find attractive. It’s like oh hello.

Yes! I thought I was the only one!

Simonjt · 19/05/2022 20:39

No, don’t get it here, bum and torso however, a completely different matter.

Furrbabymama87 · 19/05/2022 20:40

I like a nice arse and legs. A little cute one or a rounded muscular one. My husband has such a fit bum.

Rubyroseyposey · 19/05/2022 20:41

Love a nice arm 🤩

LiveatCityHall · 19/05/2022 20:41

I love men's arms. And tattoos. Mens arms with tattoos 🤤🤤🤤
