Off the back of a list about irrational things you find ick, let's be positive and express things you find surprisingly attractive.

Hairy forearms
Mildly hairy back
Just hairy generally
Bald heads

Lack of vanity - spends 2 mins infront of the mirror
Perfect temperature body when you're cold jumping into bed after a midnight wee
Big rough calloused hands
Pushes stray hairs out of your face
🥰

Yes the car reversing thing! I thought that was just me!!

Instantcustard · 29/03/2024 07:53

Big nose 😍
Big nose + French 😍😍

My dh (not French!) never wears t-shirts and dresses generally quite formally. Hat and coat in the winter. I love this.

Being good at DIY. Especially woodwork. A man with a big circular saw... Phwoar.

Loopytiles · 29/03/2024 07:55

My mum suggested that my now DH seemed ‘one of the most attractive boys around here’ when he had an ironing board and cleaning products outside his room in the student halls of residence, waiting to be returned to the broom cupboard. She wasn’t wrong!

When he saws up the Xmas tree with a big saw

I’m also very fond of a deep hollow at the clavicle

Villagetoraiseachild · 29/03/2024 07:58

An unexpected technical skill.
Like ability to unpick a lock and hotwire a car when the keys were lost.
Especially in a posh boy!

TheNameIsDickDarlington · 29/03/2024 08:01

Big calloused hands. Dirty from hard manual work if at all possible.

Eyes that crinkle when they smile. Makes my fanny flutter.

Yes to this. Was quite surprised when I realised I liked it because it wasn't on my radar when I was younger and went for "moodiness"!

Simonjt · 29/03/2024 08:02

Dads
Weirdly and it took a long time for me to realise this, but big/‘statement’ eyebrows
Small/gappy teeth

Showing kindness to others. Not just big things, but small things like picking up a toy a child has dropped, or picking something off the top shelf for someone in a supermarket. Noticing someone in need and solving their problem without thinking. Kind to animals.

A good laugh, a proper chuckle, one that makes other people smile even if they don't know why they are smiling.

A good storyteller, not lies, but who can make you want to listen to them. Always has a memory to share, makes information interesting.

Don’t judge.

I am 46 and go to college one day a week. A 21 year old guy in my class told me he was taking is gran, who lives in a care home, to the coast over Easter. Not out of obligation but because he thinks his gran is awesome.

It gave me a little flutter 😂

MeinKraft · 29/03/2024 08:05

I like golfers.

WhyeverWouldIDoThat · 29/03/2024 08:09

Many of the above, especially bikers in their leathers. 🙂
And men in a suit, shirt and tie.

whoknows2 · 29/03/2024 08:10

Hands. Not working hands but manly hands. Instant dislike when I see slim, feminine fingers and small hands on a man

MsPloddingBottom · 29/03/2024 08:12

Oh my god, none of these are unusual. Five posts in and wall already have hairy, forearms and reversing

theDudesmummy · 29/03/2024 08:12

Flat bum
Occasional over the top acts of generosity to people he barely knows
Clean but otherwise minimal time on grooming (weekly beard trim allowed)
Knows all the words of most 80s and 90s pop songs

carwashthecat · 29/03/2024 08:13

A hairy bum.. long hairy legs and a hairy chest, with broad ( don't have to be hairy ) shoulders ... swoon

perimumma · 29/03/2024 08:14

I love a ginger!

Squirrelsnut · 29/03/2024 08:15

Genuine kindness to others. Very attractive.

Ninetimes · 29/03/2024 08:15

Strong hands with large, clean short fingernails. I love seeing his wedding ring on his finger (he doesn’t ever take it off).

When he’s wearing jeans and I can’t stop myself having a little grab of his package 😂

His hair is silver grey now and I love the way his hair sticks up a bit in the front like Tin Tin.

He’s nearly 60 but still as sexy as hell. 👊

theDudesmummy · 29/03/2024 08:15

Grey/salt 'n pepper hair for me!

You just described my DH who I find extremely sexy 😍 men should be hairy all over with a shaved head, it really doesn't get sexier than that😊

Nightblindness · 29/03/2024 08:19

Rolled up shirt sleeves. It doesn't matter what the arms themselves are like, it is just the sight of rolled up shirt sleeves.

TheLongThinTetrisStick · 29/03/2024 08:19

The smell of a very slightly sweaty armpit. Swoooooon.
