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

Dh when we wears a durag and no top (around the house)

budssbuddybud · 29/03/2024 10:49

Long slightly bandy legs and a big aquiline nose. Just the right amount of hairy back, ditto chest.

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

Could she maybe mean aphrodisiac ¿

@Idiotshavecurlyhair I was really enjoying that until the man genuinely laughed at his joke about grannys eggs and he suddenly turned. I was embarrassed.

Ooo Oliver Reed. He was so gorgeous I used to come home early from the disco to watch him on telly when I was a teen. In the olden days before videos and Sky.

I like 'em big, I like 'em chunky 😁 And lines down the cheek like Sean Connery until I watch Outlander then I went right off them.

Beefy hairy forearms. Muscly legs and a kilt and boots.

@GirlofTsushima

Interesting isn't it there must be something primeval in it.

I wonder if men are turned on seeing women hoover etc

EddieVeddersfoxymop · 29/03/2024 10:55

Big yes to lean, strong, hairy forearms. My DH sent me a pic of his watch today to query something that appeared on the screen and oh my 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

Also big yes to arm on the seat reversing the car. And also to just wearing jeans.

Why is DH at work today 🙃

effoffwind · 29/03/2024 10:55

Salt and pepper goatee

Kind calm voice

Big cuddly arms

DwightDFlysenhower · 29/03/2024 10:55

Oliver Reed's voice there, absolutely. But the fact all I can see is Bill Sykes is unhelpful...

My flatmate at university had the most gorgeous loose silky curls. I didn't find him attractive otherwise, but I always thought I'd love to run my fingers through them!

I like a piano player personally, especially when their shirts sleeves slide back a bit and you see their wrist bones.

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!

Rule 202 of the Highway Code says before you reverse you should:

  • use all your mirrors
  • check the ‘blind spot’ behind you (the part of the road you cannot see easily in the mirrors)
And when reversing you should be
  • looking mainly through the rear window

A well-proportioned dick.
Straight and not too thin or too wide.
Luckily for me dhs is perfect.

SunshinDay · 29/03/2024 10:56

Kindness to animals. I know that bit isn't unusual in itself, but I'm currently sitting here with a cuppa and I can hear DH in another room singing a made up song to our very elderly cat. He also gets the cat all comfy in his arms and stands with him at the window for ages because the cat can't jump up on the window sill now to look out at the birds 😻

One of our dogs had an operation a couple of years ago and wasn't able to join us on walks for a while. DH patiently gathered up a couple of pine cones, a small stick, and a few of those 'helicopter seeds' (can't think off the top of my head what they're called!) to take home so our dog could sniff them and feel like he'd not missed out on too much of the walk 😍

We're in our 60s now and have been together since we were teenagers. He's an absolute cracker, he really is.

Oh that made me a bit weepy. He sounds lovely.

My crushes growing up all turned out to be jewish facial types. I have no idea why or how it came to be!

My husband has jewish ancestry which we found out together when we did DNA ancestry tests.

I like slim men, not hairy, softly spoken, long noses and long face shapes.

I also go weak at the knees for flared nostrils.

I once told Chris Barrie this, and he thought that was hilarious!

Whatineed · 29/03/2024 11:00

Big shovely hands.

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

If the relationship board is anything to go by.... 🤔

SunshinDay · 29/03/2024 11:02

@Villagetoraiseachild i also love those types of contrast

SwordToFlamethrower · 29/03/2024 11:02

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

I like what you don't, hehe!

Tallisker · 29/03/2024 11:02

I think if Si King put on a kilt I'd consider leaving my DH 🤣

Hoglet70 · 29/03/2024 11:03

Jeans and bare feet (which only works if they have nice feet, which luckily DH does have or he wouldn't be my DH!!!).

The whole reason I do Mr London workouts on YouTube 😳🤣

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

Oh my gosh I love this too but not sure why!

Dexterrolledoffthesofa · 29/03/2024 11:05

A broken nose

Thetraitor · 29/03/2024 11:08

Back of legs especially muscular. Dunno why but love legs slightly hairy at the back. I struggle massively in shorts season 😂

Mybusyday · 29/03/2024 11:11

A beard every time
