What attracts you to a man?

[Osidge]

Easygoing thread. No deep or meaningful reasons to my question. I am saying this before anyone bashes me for something that is really not a big deal just a genuine question about a general topic!
I know we all have different tastes, quite rightly so.
I was just watching the ITVX series 'Deadwater Fell'. With David Tennant as the main character. His character has obviously been sleeping around in the show and I find myself a bit repulsed as I can't imagine anyone wanting to sleep with him 🙈. So skinny and unmanly!
But, obviously there are women out there who find that look attractive. I also acknowledge that the men I find attractive wouldn't be everyone's taste.
So just a curiosity question really. Are looks important to you at all when choosing a romantic partner?
I know personality is the main thing.
I do believe however, there has to be at least some physical attraction as well. Surely that's what's draws us to even consider someone as a romantic partner rather than just an acquaintance or colleague etc?

Confidence is key. They also need to be intelligent and kind, have similar values to me, have similar tastes, etc. These are all qualities that make me find someone attractive.

Looks aren't really on the list. There are certainly some men which I can say are objectively attractive but without a personal connection and firsthand knowledge of the above it's just that - an objective acknowledgement that they are conventionally attractive, nothing more.

I agree that confidence is key. I think how someone presents and the energy they have can actually alter your perception of how attractive they are physically.

Confidence definitely is important.
But big broad shoulders are a massive bonus 🤭

Yes looks are important to me. I’m not going to lie and pretend they are not. Also only find tall men attractive couldn’t date a short man!

I'm the same.. I am only a short arse myself but I like a tall man!

Brain, wit, extensive vocabulary, hill walking and eating sandwiches with a flask of tea on a hilltop, board games, video games, must enjoy impromptu singing in some circumstances. Must also be willing to share bags of crisps and visit battlefields, museums and antique shops.

Physical, dark hair, slim and unbeknown to me at time of looking but I do adore grey green eyes, DH has them. I joke about them being limpet pools instead of limpid pools.

Must be hygienic but nothing more than combing hair, I can’t be doing with overly groomed men. Must also despise wasting money, now this is very subjective it could be £1 it could be £1000 but is it good value?

It's the voice. Always the voice. Warm, measured, clear. If there's an accent I like in there too, then all the better.

Completely understandable reasonable choices!

Oh my gosh, yes the voice! The voice can win me over alone 🤩

I like very intelligent men, especially STEM-type logical thinkers, unconventional types, quiet, deep eyes, quick wit. I'm not attracted to overweight men but skinny is fine.

I can understand the draw to that type of man.

Attraction is important to me, I can’t imagine having a partner that I don’t find attractive.

I like average height, average build usually, I like nice eyes and lips, good hair and quite like a moustache/beard. I don’t like too skinny or too muscly and certain accents are a definite no.

Personality wise, I like men who are funny and can laugh at themselves, confident but not cocky, affectionate, thoughtful, independent, not afraid to show their emotions. I don’t like blokey blokes.

And if they don’t like animals, I won’t like them. 😅

Curly hair and glasses. And I love me with ginger hair

Men*

Sense of humour and intelligence- in that order. I couldn’t go through life without laughing!

@startingagain17 what do you mean men?

I put me instead of the word men in my post above

@startingagain17 oh I see! Sorry, I didn't realise!

Ouwwww fun thread op! I’d say for me it’s a symmetrical square jawline with strong cheekbones and thick eyebrows.

You're hilarious 🙄

There is a presence about them, a sort of confidence without being over confident

'Charming' has never done anything for me at all

People who know they are 'something' as in smarmy or supposedly 'a perfect gentleman' is a right turn off

No offence to specific actors but I cannot like them but fancy their character then see them in something else and go gross

He has to be clever, practical and be able to make me laugh.

Physically, I like broad shoulders, hunky arms, blue eyes, and stubble. Oh, and at least as tall as me.

And, most importantly, a deep voice in an accent I like. The voice is actually the most crucial physical thing for me.

Tall, broad shoulders and chest. Oh and the accent 😁

My instinctive response is 'kindness'.

😂😂🤣. Why is that hilarious!? 😂
