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

Chunky thighs - not fat but muscle.

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

Same!!

CurlewKate · 29/03/2024 13:59

Black men with posh English accents.

StopStartStop · 29/03/2024 14:16

Not unusual but as this thread has set me thinking....

Musicianship
Long curly hair, soft as thistledown
Broad, square shoulders
Beautiful voice
Being Harry Robinson from Lotus Eaters Podcast - have a look, he's gorgeous
Neck. A long, strong neck. (Not a giraffe.)

This made me cry...
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 😻

I can't find the post now, but the poster who said seeing her partner in jeans, she liked to give his package a squeeze... you actually made me blush.

Just reading this juxtaposed with the thread title 😂

Derrymum123 · 29/03/2024 14:24

Big hands, tapered fingers.
Bald head that is shiny.
Long legs in nice jeans.
Brown eyes.
Clean finger nails.

CurlewKate · 29/03/2024 14:25

@Spudthespanner ?

smooththecat · 29/03/2024 14:28

It’s the way he thinks, I like to explore in his mind.

Lottieskeeper · 29/03/2024 14:30

Lanky build, the taller/ skinnier the better.
Messy hair & general dishevelled look.
Intermittent lazy eye, why the fuck I don't know but wow.
A love of steam trains.

I'm guessing the last 2 are fairly unusual at least.

PutOnYourRedShoesAndLetsDance · 29/03/2024 14:44

Personality wise..l
find a sense of humour and a bit of a mischief in men very attractive..
Looks wise ....tall and hippyish. Less body hair the better.

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

We don't have children I'm afraid.

I agree totally though, he would have been a great dad (grandpa now!) but we just put all of our love into our little family of pets.

Sidebeforeself · 29/03/2024 14:55

I’ll tell you whats unattractive in a woman..coming on a thread thats just a bit of fun to point out that peoples responses aren’t unusual at all.

susansaucepan · 29/03/2024 14:56

Awareness.

You know the type of man who can read the room .

Yes!
When DH and i first got together it was 80% physical phwarrr factor. He played up the macho man act and that attracted me. I'm superficially attracted to 'bad boy' types.

Once we'd been together a while i saw how well he reads a room, and how easily he reads the slightest changes in other people's moods. And then tries to help. Endless patience (more than me!) with kids. So kind.

Together 17 years now. He's lovely 😊

Andnowshesatoddler · 29/03/2024 16:07

A dad bod.
Ability to protect me.
I've never fancied my husband more than when he had his scrubs on

BensonStabler · 29/03/2024 16:08

A mild speech impediment… A lisp! I love seeing the way their tongue moves and shows slightly.

Of course a sexy mouth and nice teeth helps.☺️

fightingthedogforadonut · 29/03/2024 16:09

Neatly groomed, oiled beard
Brawny arms
Workman's trousers and boots

Basically a lumberjack. I get full on fanny flutters for bearded men in flannel shirts.... 😂

ooh yes! My 2nd favourite celeb crush is Hugh Laurie but only when he plays Greg House, with an American accent and slight lisp. Irresistible!

My BF has a tongue tie and I love how I can feel the cleft when I kiss him

Ninetimes · 29/03/2024 19:43

A lisp - anyone who likes this check out Beefy409 on Facebook. He’s a beefeater at the Tower of London.

look back through his videos, makes me weak at the knees 😛

PinotDragon · 29/03/2024 19:59

Tall slender nerdy types who are physically much stronger than you would give them credit for. Love a Sheldon type who suddenly lifts something very heavy with ease (particularly with shirt sleeves rolled up).

Also hairy lumberjack types who stop to stroke random cats.

Lessstressedhemum · 29/03/2024 20:51

@Celia24 , ah, but I'm pretty short, so most folk are quite tall to me 🙄 it's not just Hispanic/Latin types to be honest. It's olive type skin, black hair and dark eyes, even better if they are tall and well muscled.

kalokagathos · 29/03/2024 21:45

Thick afro hair ❤️

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)

@crochetmonkey74 oh yes slightly poppy out eyes too! 🤭 like that guy Kieth from boyzone or Rami Malik.

Ypu are also a SVU fan!!! (Your username)
It's my favourite show

Pickledhen · 03/09/2024 22:48

Men who wear cords, especially brown, a little loose and worn. If he wears glasses and is a bit nerdy all the better.
