What is the physical attribute that makes you go weak at the knees despite all evidence to the contrary?

Height for me. Over 6ft 2 of man and, although I can objectively see that I don't particularly find him attractive, the height just does something for me. It's a terrible weakness.

Broad shoulders. Also have a thing for chunky (chubby) blokes.

Logical consistency, and being able to spell and use grammar correctly. Intelligence. Inquisitiveness. Curiosity. Enthusiasm. Kindness.

I think you missed the "physically" bit

My favourite part of a man's body is the area below his belly button but above his waistline. If I see a toned man reaching for something and his top rides up, it just does something to me..

Yes!!

I love mousey brown hair and mousey brown eyes. Brown eyes mostly. Oh but also veins that stick out on their arms!! Oh and a jawline. OK I will stop :)

Not been able to read the title in the OP is a turn off 🤔

Rogue1001MNer · 23/05/2023 22:17

🤣🤣🤣
Came on to say tall, and it's the bloody OP!

Bloomtime · 23/05/2023 22:17

Oh love a big nose too!

Bovrilla · 23/05/2023 22:19

"the twinkle". Some men just have a cheeky twinkle in their eyes. Absolute sucker for it.

Often dark haired and blue eyes too but not always.

Crampo · 23/05/2023 22:19

Hairy chest. I'm old school.

EmptyBedBlues · 23/05/2023 22:19

I like a man whose hair grows nicely on his temples, and has little puckers at the corners of his mouth. And a stringy, distance-runner’s physique.

DogsvsCats · 23/05/2023 22:20

Strong arms, protruding veins..good neat nails on hands.

SauceForTheGoose · 23/05/2023 22:21

Head of hair
Strong arms
Nice feet

Have had a traumatic week and a bit so being prompted to think about what makes me drool is a very welcome distraction!

Yep. It's dark hair and blue eyes. Dark curly hair. Broad shoulders too.

@Bovrilla @Tatapie @Huntler we are going to have sort out a ticket/ queuing system 👀

Blamethecat57 · 23/05/2023 22:23

A good arse.

Summertimesmile · 23/05/2023 22:24

Big strong arms and shoulders, solid but fit. No skinny waifs for me.

Hazel2323 · 23/05/2023 22:25

Muscly thighs. Like rugby player thighs where you can see the actual muscle outline.

BlackboardMonitorVimes · 23/05/2023 22:25

Tall, slightly gangly and big nose does it for me. Pwhoar.

Blandfan · 23/05/2023 22:25

Really skinny stomach/ hips and lovely forearms.

BlackboardMonitorVimes · 23/05/2023 22:25

I also quite like a baldy.

Minikievs · 23/05/2023 22:27

Shaved head, stubble/beard, good arms, tall, slightly tanned

HenryCavillsPerfectTeeth · 23/05/2023 22:27

Forearms.

Knibs and butts I can take or leave honestly.

Yes to forearms!

Youngatheart00 · 23/05/2023 22:28
