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

My dp seems to put a bit of weight on in the summer and loses it in the winter

In the summer,he ends up with a line just at the top of his tummy

It's unbelievably sexy

To keep me going in winter,he has a patch of hair,just above his bum

I love it when he's fresh out of the shower and it's all wet

And I find his 'chicken legs' so sexy all year round

His feet,not so much but I don't do feet on anyone

It's so sexy when they leave me the fuck alone.

I work in a bar, I’ve always liked big chunky men, but the other day a lorry driver came into my work and was quite fat, balding, with grubby grey tracksuit shorts and a hi vis jacket on. He looked like someone who works hard physically but also enjoys his food, like me! I started chatting to him and he was talking about politics etc and was really well spoken. My boss said he had to walk away and leave us to the flirting 😂. I realised that I found him really attractive and was hoping he’d come back another day. He’d said he was just passing and had stumbled across us, so will see if he finds us again next time he’s passing. He’s probably just one of those chatty people who spends a lot of time in his cab alone, so talks the hind legs off a donkey when he gets the chance, but I just found myself drawn to him.

NB My (very casual) BF is tall and skinny, and very much not a manual labour type of guy!

Muscly forearms
Capable looking hands (I'm all for calm, capable, non fuss making men generally)
Ears that sit close to the head
Blue eyes
Intelligence

After that it depends on my monthly cycle 😁

CurlewKate · 29/03/2024 10:17

Being good at stuff. Being a grown up. Being able to look after himself and others.

Mytholmroyd · 29/03/2024 10:19

So many lovely things on here making me go YES!

But yes, a man who can is very sexy - competence and confidence without arrogance.

Michael McIntyre did a sketch about the arm over the seat when reversing and how he had no idea what women find sexy. I think a lot of men don't really know their real power!

Cas112 · 29/03/2024 10:20

Veiny big hands but not to veiny, has to be the right amount 😭😂

DisforDarkChocolate · 29/03/2024 08:40

A straight nose.

Excellent parking, I'm not alone in this though but I only found this out on MN.

Hoovering.

Agree on the straight nose, hate piggy or noses with huge nostrils. Ick!

noclouds · 29/03/2024 10:21

Freckles, glasses, and thick neck, strong shoulders - no idea why. My husband has all of them but not the glasses 🤓

Worldgonecrazy · 29/03/2024 10:22

One who brings a cup of tea without asking.
One who brings breakfast in bed most days.
A good dancer.
Everyone loves a sexy bum but my DH has an exceptionally sexy bum (the downside is random drunken women trying to touch it)

One of the sexiest things is watching him work - he has a beautiful calm but powerful way of talking and encouraging his team to constantly strive for improvement, and the respect they have for him is palpable. He is a genuine Alpha male/leader, not an arrogant male who thinks he is.

LaraCooper · 29/03/2024 10:24

Being good at assembling ikea furniture
nice smile and being kind
tall

When he's reversing a car and he turns around and puts his arm on the back of the passenger seat.

That's just bad driving though. Use the mirrors muppet.

crochetmonkey74 · 29/03/2024 10:33

Slightly poppy out eyes
Being behind me when I'm opening a door and helping open it higher up than me (I'm v short)

ScabbyHorse · 29/03/2024 10:35

Long auburn wavy hair, and lots of bags under the eyes!

crochetmonkey74 · 29/03/2024 10:36

Also just doing stuff , wake up, he's out in the garden sorting out the broken panel, or mowing the lawn or he's on the phone to NPower

Lessstressedhemum · 29/03/2024 10:38

Long, thick hair, preferably black, that they can do a good heavy metal hair flip with.
Good strong, well defined deltoids and biceps.
Nice hands
Tbh, I have a real thing for Hispanic/Latin looking tall men with the above. Not that unusual, then.

Do people really think the average woman goes for unkind animal abusers with no social skills? Seriously??

The average woman posting on mumsnet seems to so....

SunshinDay · 29/03/2024 10:39

Short stubby legs, s huge pot belly, hairy back, bald head and small eyes.

Hardlyworking · 29/03/2024 10:40

DrJoanAllenby · 29/03/2024 10:12

Fit and healthy. Clean shaven. No tattoos or piercings. Clean and groomed but not effeminate. Physically and mentally strong. Tall. Not a single drop of left wing views. Mind to animals and great sense of humour. Confident and intelligent.

Oxymoron right there I'm afraid.

Seriously - you don't look over your shoulder before and during reversing? How do you check the blind spots?

SunshinDay · 29/03/2024 10:42

@crochetmonkey74 I must admit that does sound like the biggest afro dizzy ac.

BoomBoom70 · 29/03/2024 10:42

Cleft lip, or maybe it’s just Joaquin Phoenix but he is wildly sexy! 🔥

It's not checking your blinds spots though if you're hanging your arm on the passenger seat and looking up the middle of the car. Use your mirrors, it's what they're there for!

I'm old and have no idea what this means?
