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

Really big chunky men (but definitely not muscly body-builder types - more just takes up a lot of space and can loom in a doorway), tall, broad shoulders, thick neck, big hands, either totally bald or really long wild hair, strong forearms, blue eyes, podgy belly, a long full beard....add a really deep voice and I'm sold. Kindly wash the specimen and bring it to my tent.

Men reversing cars with one arm around the passenger seat.
Men in glasses.
Tall, physically bigger men. Not overly muscular, but I like men who look like they could keep you warm.
Emotional intelligence and kindness is a huge turn on too - that’s probably not unusual.
Having a passion for something - could be anything, even porcelain mugs, but if he’s interested and knowledgeable, that’s very sexy indeed!

TitaniasAss · 29/03/2024 11:24

I also like big bear like men. Not muscly or massively overweight bit just 'big'.

I love arm and chest hair! Nice strong, hairy forearms. They just do something for me!

I grew up white in a NW white town, and now live somewhere in the NE also very white. DH is also white.

I find men of other ethnicities - it doesn’t really matter which, although South Asians are probably my favourite - very attractive.

Some of my happiest years were spent in London and the diversity was definitely a highlight, not just for the food and craic but for the eye candy.

This thread had so much potential but turned into women stating the most common things we find attractive in men.

Theedgeoftheabyss · 29/03/2024 12:01

Tall men who are nice and broad. I'm fairly tall myself so it is rather delicious to see tall men in the wild! Twinkly eyes.

paristotokyo · 29/03/2024 12:07

Nice hands. DH has large but very attractive/beautiful hands
Tall
Also love the crinkly eye smile thing and reversing the car thing! Grin

Arraminta · 29/03/2024 12:09

A double cuffed business shirt and a quality watch peeking out.

Generosity. If DH is getting drinks at the bar he automatically orders doubles for people or the large glass of wine.

Nice handwriting, DH has lovely handwriting and holds the pen properly, it's sexy to watch him writing.

paristotokyo · 29/03/2024 12:10

Oh also very strong, lean muscular legs. DH also has this 😍

Allywill · 29/03/2024 12:13

ability to whip up a tasty dinner with ingredients already in the house in the time it takes me to have a leisurely bath.

Curiosity and intelligence - ESPECIALLY in men who haven't had any of the privilege of expensive education and upbringing. To me, there is nothing more sexy than a bloke with a London accent, London banter and London humour - a blokey bloke with a strong work ethic, but who has - despite not being offered/exposed to it as a child - found a love of books, art, travel, theatre, film - any culture really - and a curiosity about the world and appetite for travel and adventure.

Yes please.

zeibesaffron · 29/03/2024 12:20

a Tummy
broad chest/ shoulders
has to be bald ❤️🤩

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.

This is probably the sweetest thing I have ever read .
Do you have children ? He like he would have made a wonderful father

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.

Yes! I like and platonically love lots of men but am only attracted to men like this. And got my breakfast in bed this morning 😊

XenoBitch · 29/03/2024 12:34

Sticky out ears.

SunshinDay · 29/03/2024 12:36

@SlightlyJaded
A great deliciousness

Noselikeabluetit · 29/03/2024 12:39

None of these are unusual.

susansaucepan · 29/03/2024 12:58

Someone who can tease you and take the piss a bit but with that grin and twinkle in his eyes that tells you and everyone around you that he is completely in love with you .

Flozle · 29/03/2024 13:00

Flat stomach with a faint line of hair down from his navel disappearing into his jeans. Fanny gallops every time.

Lostsadandconfused · 29/03/2024 13:07

Veiny forearms
A large shapely nose

Celia24 · 29/03/2024 13:28

@Lostsadandconfusedsorry didn't mean to tag you and now can't get rid of it!

@Lessstressedhemum I would say it is unusual on the basis most Hispanic/Latin men aren't particularly tall!

(someone who lives in a Spanish speaking country)

Blackcats7 · 29/03/2024 13:43

Someone with a nice tone of voice and bizarrely I used really like the way my ex crossed his feet over each other when kneeling down.

Laiste · 29/03/2024 13:43

DH is tall, strong, muscly (manual worker), confident and kind. Gorgeous arms ...

but the thing which gets me most is:

Glimpse of his pubic ladder disappearing into low slung trackies or jeans.

(ie that dark hairy line that comes from chest hair down over belly and turns into pubes. i love it when you see the bit just above pubes 😃)

swoon.

Tiddlywinkly · 29/03/2024 13:45

Lovely strong forearms and nice hands sticking out of rolled up shirt sleeves

Very tall, broad men

Toned legs and bum. I could not help but notice a guy during a track session who cycles a lot. He looked really good in cycling shorts. I didn't think that was possible.

Guys who read books. I don't see it a lot in public these days.
