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?

Looks.

I’m quite shallow.

Easy to please, though. They don’t have to be Adonis, but I draw the line at false teeth.

A big bushy beard and broad shoulders. I don’t like rugby player physique or powerlifter though. Lean and toned is where it’s at for me. Witty and GSOH is completely essential though- without that it’s a non-starter, no matter how bushy the beard.

Confidence, self- depreciation and easy to talk to. It's all in the eyes for me. Looks don't massively come into it. I tend to go for big personalities.

Articulate and intelligent would be number 1 for me. Quick witted. Independent and self sufficient is important too, I have a very low tolerance for needy people. My ideal man would play an instrument or sing. Someone who knows who they are and is OK with it, doesn't follow the herd. Having strong moral principles is important for me. Physical attraction can follow from above but if he looked like an angel but didn't meet the above it would be a no for me. I don't get the obsession with tall men. They are all taller than me so it's not an issue for me.

The only things I would say looks wise is they need to be tall and average build. I'm not attracted to very slim or very muscular men and couldn't imagine dating someone shorter than me.

The main things I find attractive are a good sense of humour, someone that doesn't take himself too seriously and someone that is kind.

I find competence sexy. A man that can do DIY and household chores and is good at his job. Someone that can wield both a power drill and the vacuum cleaner 🤣.

Glasses, good hair, nice smile, manly arms, the voice is also really important

intelligence, ambition, kind, sense of humour, self awareness, good communication, the ability to consider others,

Confidence, competence and courtesy, thats regardless of physical appearance. I loathe grown men who are into bantz or behave like teenage boys, not appealing to me.

Height (6ft+)
Good head of hair
laughs at my jokes 😁

I find confidence attractive, almost to the point of arrogance. I’m quite assertive and I like a man who takes the lead. And who is funny, I like banter and teasing.

I like men who are competent at things they do - watching a man being incapable of looking after his child is one of the most off putting things ever.

Looks wise I like dark hair, dark eyes, dark skin.

David Tennant as dr who; Jonny depp in pirates of the Caribbean….

Great username- Inner Circle, Sweat! I love that song! I agree with what you said. It's not an obsession with tall men for personally. I just like big men which involves height I suppose 🙈

I like someone really easy going, humorous, kind, someone who values family, someone gentle.
In terms of physical attraction a broad chest and strong arms really do it for me! Not big muscles but just strong arms. I usually go for dark hair but have fancied a couple of blonde guys over the years. I'm tall so I want someone taller than me.

This is the first time I've heard someone say that glasses are part of the attraction for them. I'm loving reading everyone's preferences!

Talkative and confident. I'm not attracted to shy or quiet men... despite the fact I'm quite shy.

I don't care particularly about height as long as taller than me.

Don't like skinny men... would prefer slightly overweight to underweight.

Intelligent and interested in news/current affairs.

I am the typiest person I've ever known.

Of all the serious relationships I've had from 17-24 (when I met the current and most long-standing Mr AffIt, with whom I have just celebrated 21 years of tolerating one another), they were all esenntially upgrades on one another, physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Currently on v5.0, the best and hopefully last version. 😄

Tall, bearded, funny, and rich.

Need to add chatty to my list. Shy people or quiet people make me a little uncomfortable. Someone sociable who will adopt my friends as his own and have friends I fit in with.

I am weak for a Scottish accent!! But any accent is OK as long as its not too pronounced and they don't use too much slang, I like well spoken people.

Kindness, and as someone mentioned upthread the voice, also well built but doesn't have to be a fitness maniac just have broad shoulders, couldn't date a skinny man

Like someone with a sense of humour and chunky and preferably bald/ very short hair. Nice eyes and smile too

As some have mentioned celebrity rushes above, it got me wondering...

Let's say you had your celebrity crush, identical in every way (appearance, accent, charm, etc etc)
BUT they worked in an office, made say 40k a year and was not famous...

Still interested?

Definitely

Voice
Shoulders
Height
And he has make me laugh first and foremost

Tall, nice looking, tidy beard, either slim/strong or big/muscly. Enjoys going to gym and keeping fit although likes a drink and going out too.

Chatty with a good sense of humour and have to be able to laugh at themselves. Definitely not too PC and can appreciate gutter level humour!

And they have to wear decent clothes. I nearly didn't have a second date with DH as he turned up to our first in walking boots (although it was bonfire night and very muddy so he was right - I was the one that slipped over...)

Shy men with big feet

I don't trust larger than life types! Also I like physically fit guys, who aren't lazy. I'm lazy enough for both of us.

Nothing , I am one
