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.

Henry Cavill is very nice especially since he has the nerdy element and can build his own computer (I think). Doesn’t get better than that! 🤣

I also love Tom Hardy in Taboo

Big ol’ pointy nose. DP’s is perfect. He hates it. I adore it. Also forearms, ideally fairly slender (or at least not really muscly) but toned and slightly veiny and with a light smattering of blonde or ginger hair. Phwoar. And eyes that go crinkly when they smile.

Blossomandbee · 23/05/2023 23:12

Tall, not too ripped or skinny. Strong arms and hands, broad chest, hairy chest and stomach, neat beard, kind eyes.

Slim physique but visibly well-toned, average height, hair either long and straight or close-cropped, tattoos and piercings in moderation, motor oil under fingernails optional!

847arc · 23/05/2023 23:14

Hmm, I’ve basically just described dh

curtainsfringe · 23/05/2023 23:17

I don't think i've ever listed after a nose!

curtainsfringe · 23/05/2023 23:17

lusted!

MySoCalledWife · 23/05/2023 23:17

Big nose/broken nose

Also a deep voice

I can find someone sexy just for their voice

pnutter · 23/05/2023 23:19

Bushy eyebrows , chunky forearms , hairy pits

EmpressSoleil · 23/05/2023 23:20

Hair (on their head!). I’m in my 50s and so many men have that shaved head thing going on and I can’t stand it. I know it’s because they are probably going bald but I just can’t stand to see someone’s skull. It actually makes me queasy.

So I would take a less than average man with hair over someone objectively more attractive but with a shaved head.

Panjandrum123 · 23/05/2023 23:21

A tall man, not overweight, wearing a well fitting suit and a good aftershave. 🤤

Hands. Nice clean strong hands with clean fingernails

Forearms. Changing gear in a car

Fuck me

Hahaha!

Lots of people going for the dark hair blue eyes combo I see but I was here first

Tallisker · 23/05/2023 23:22

Tall, broad, beefy, dark hair and light eyes. Hairy muscly forearms. Someone mentioned a fisherman's jumper upthread, I'd add a kilt and boots. And a beard 😍

Sunmachine · 23/05/2023 23:25

Love how these are all so different! For me… big and tall with a twinkle in his eye

beautifulgoodbye · 23/05/2023 23:26

Nice hands and sexy blue eyes get me every time!

PimpMyFridge · 23/05/2023 23:27

Roman nose is a must, so you can keep Henry Cavill, much too near the button end of the nose spectrum for me.

WonderingWanda · 23/05/2023 23:28

Does voice count?

Beachbreak2411 · 23/05/2023 23:30

6ft plus and big arms

Yellowtowelsdear · 23/05/2023 23:31

bomanicious · 23/05/2023 22:10

Teeth that slant backwards slightly.

What's that all about eh

Do you have a celebrity example? I can’t picture that at all!

PimpMyFridge · 23/05/2023 23:31

Doesn't Ricky Gervais have backward slanting teeth?

JimnJoyce · 23/05/2023 23:31

over 6 ft with nice shoulders, smiley eyes and preferably wearing a kilt and boots. The scottish accent is just a bonus

OrlandointheWilderness · 23/05/2023 23:32

Arms with sleeves rolled up. Hairy men. Kind eyes with crinkly edges. Big shoulders. Actually a big frame, I like a bigger man. Beard. Ability to reverse.

Rhubarbina · 23/05/2023 23:38

Watery blue eyes like Aidan Quinn in Legends of the Fall

Celledora · 23/05/2023 23:42

Dark hair, dark gentle, kind eyes. Basically been in love with Keanu Reeves for 25 years 😍
