Oh yeah, a lovely crisp white shirt with sleeves rolled up to the elbows, I know just where you're coming from Luna

Pyjamasandwine · 01/04/2015 14:32

Agree they are. But not puny ones. Must be thick and strong looking. Smile

OhNoNotMyBaby · 01/04/2015 14:32

I'm with you on this. I look at arms and hands and then imagine them doing various things to bits of my body..... Blush

They do need to be strong, large, muscular, a bit tanned and a bit hairy though. None of your white wimpy stuff here please.

Mmmm, v sexyEaster Wink

YANBU

However YABVU for getting be all hot and bothered on a Wesnesday afternoon Wink

Comingoutofhibernation · 01/04/2015 14:35

I am definitely with you on that one. Forearms are one of the first bits I look at on men. I always thought I was a little odd, so I'm glad to see I'm not the only one!

BreconBeBuggered · 01/04/2015 14:37

Not weird. I don't have specific requirements about tans or muscles myself, but a well-crafted forearm is a thing of beauty. Mmmm, yesss.

stardusty5 · 01/04/2015 14:39

Yanbu!

Mrsmorton · 01/04/2015 14:39

This topic comes up about once a quarter on MN!!

Phalenopsis · 01/04/2015 14:43

Nope YANBU. A long sleeved shirt on strong forearms with some hair is damned sexy preferably with broad shoulders and strong chest to match. Grin

The fact that Lavenderice can't spell Wednesday tells us all we need to know! Grin

Ratfinkandbobo · 01/04/2015 14:45

My dp has big strong arms, yum! Can't be doing with skinny men, they do nothing for me.

LunaMay · 01/04/2015 14:45

I'm just so glad i'm not alone lol they had me worried for a minute :D

OhNoNotMyBaby It's like you're in my head Blush

I told them this and now they've moved on to our friend who just admitted having a thing for Simon Lebon and big noses...

I love a good pair of forearms! Grin

Ratfinkandbobo · 01/04/2015 14:47

Getting hot and bothered at any time of the day is acceptable imhoEaster Wink

Zucker · 01/04/2015 14:47

YANBU! What else would we be looking at? Grin

antumbra · 01/04/2015 14:48

Forearms are nice, but only if very hairy.

HonourableKortonRepresentative · 01/04/2015 14:48

Oh god yeah. Thick hairy ones. Big hands too. Where's the drool emoticon...

BitOutOfPractice · 01/04/2015 14:48

Oh yes yes to strong arms and manly hands

toffeeboffin · 01/04/2015 14:51

OhNoNotMyBaby has the right attitude : )

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 01/04/2015 14:54

Many years' ago I noticed that a lad I knew had just that feature - did a comedy double take I hope no-one else noticed. To be fair he was a good sort and good looking in any case but thereafter thought his gf was even luckier than I'd thought.

squoosh · 01/04/2015 14:56

Shoulders are important to me. Cannot be doing with sloped shoulders.

UghReally · 01/04/2015 15:01

Mmm shoulders...
i'd have trouble if i was attracted to forearms.
Dp's are scrawny!
