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.

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.

Distraction is exactly what I've been after too!

I have been reminded of broad shoulders also.

Big nose. And then hands.. I can't describe, but I know when I see them

LoveRules · 23/05/2023 22:29

Twinkly blue eyes, a creative intelligent mind and a sharp intelligent wit

LubaLuca · 23/05/2023 22:29

Moustache and a hairy chest.

Teeth that slant backwards slightly.

What's that all about eh

This made me laugh! What is it all about?!

Kind, deep voice

Tanned

Big hands and forearms

FoxtrotOscarFoxtrotOscar · 23/05/2023 22:30

Short, hairy, Mediterranean

DiscoBeat · 23/05/2023 22:30

Tall, thick brown hair with a bit of an unruly wave to it. Twinkly laughing eyes, sense of humour and intelligence (and well spoken) Bonus points for a fisherman's jumper and subtle aftershave/ stubble.

Sorry, bit of a list there!

LunaNorth · 23/05/2023 22:30

Quite small eyes.
Broad shoulders.
Nice hands.
Rough ‘n’ ready looking. Can’t be doing with overly-groomed blokes.

Knockon · 23/05/2023 22:31

Crinkly eyes , i love laughter lines.

Treasureboxkey · 23/05/2023 22:32

Sharp jaw. Especially if you can see the outline of the bone at the very back.
Especially, especially if he is dark haired and stubbly.

Green eyes. Even if the rest of him is nothing to look at.

SwirlyShirly · 23/05/2023 22:32

Absolutely height. I have a weakness for unusually tall men. Thor Bjornsson, not the easiest on the eye but makes me weak at the knees.

Also blue eyes with long eyelashes.

EbonyRaven · 23/05/2023 22:33

Like many posters. I like to see dark hair and blue eyes (or green eyes.) Paul Rudd - hubba hubba! Grin Used to fancy John Travolta back in the day too!

Also like tall men - 5 ft 11 to 6 ft 4 - Leo Dicaprio/Chris Hemsworth/Harry Styles - yum Grin

Also like gingers - James Norton - hubba hubba again! (James is tall too!)

DH is mousy haired/slightly ginger, 5 ft 10 and has blue eyes, so he has SOME of the attributes I like. (HONESTLY!!!) Grin

Rogue1001MNer · 23/05/2023 22:17

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

Bad luck, he's mine! Inspired by a chap I met briefly tonight. Objectively? No, not really. Personality wise? No idea, hardly spoke to the poor sod. Did his height make me come over all excited? Yes indeedy.

Hands. Nice clean strong hands with clean fingernails

Forearms. Changing gear in a car

Fuck me

Pestispeeved · 23/05/2023 22:36

Blond hair, blue eyes and precisely the right amount of forearm air.
Or
Dark hair, dark eyes and a smoulder.

Sort of plan A and B

Rinkydinkydoodle · 23/05/2023 22:37

short hairy kings, extra points for a Roman nose - used to quite fancy the janny at my kids’ school people thought he looked a bit like Parker from Thunderbirds pheeeeet pheow

Logoplanter · 23/05/2023 22:38

I'm also in the dark hair, blue eyes camp.

Also tall and good strong forearms.

3 out of 4 isn't bad for DH 😊

SpringNotSprung · 23/05/2023 22:40

Blonde. Well proportioned. Good legs, nice hands. Large brain.

ladygindiva · 23/05/2023 22:41

Broad shoulders and strong hairy forearms

Jonnycakes · 23/05/2023 22:47

I love a tall man, always have. But recently I’ve got all unnecessary over a hairy chest and big muscly arms. I think it’s from Henry cavill as I’ve been watching the Witcher. Dear god, Henry cavill…

ChokeToDeathOnThreePoundsOfMeat · 23/05/2023 22:48

Rugby player build. Tall, broad shoulders, heavy muscle, etc. DH is more than a foot taller than me. Smiley crinkly eyes.

It helps if they're also a bit nerdy, personality wise.

Aerin1999 · 23/05/2023 22:48

As hairy as possible, thicker the better!

DramaAlpaca · 23/05/2023 22:48

His voice. A sexy deep voice could in theory have my knickers round my ankles before I'd had a proper look at the rest of him.

As for the rest of him, blue eyes, height around 6'2, broad muscular shoulders and a flat belly will do nicely thank you.

foxlover47 · 23/05/2023 22:48

Nice piercing eyes and height ... absolutely love a talk man with nice hair , long hair , mid length all the better
