What random / secret things do you find attractive?!

So... here are the random things I find attractive in a man.

-someone who is good at catching. This sporting prowess makes me weak at the knees.

-an effortless parallel parker. Swoon.

-Smoking. Hear me out... I do not want a smoker in fact I'd actively avoid a man that smokes... but deep down maybe it's the Hollywood old school glamour (or more likely deep seated crushes on the bad boy at school lighting up behind the bike shed) hangs head in shame

What are your slightly less obvious 'secret' things that make you fancy someone?

Standard ones of forearms, white shirts, suits

Also like an outward turn in the eye

The biting of his lip and look of concentration that DP does when he's sawing wood

Several posts have reminded me of things I like. High cheekbones, musical talent, swimmers' shoulders, tall men.

I also find a man in a turban very attractive.

Just bumping this asthenosphere we're talking on Radio 1 about this, Scott Mills sad he found it really attractive that his partner was a very good driver & they had people texting in saying about parallel parking on first dates did it for them etc.

I like a hairy chest, and since my teen days seeing an attractive man in "workie boots" (perhaps that's just a Glasgow term haha) makes me swoon.

Random things like driving the car with one hand, arm sort of leaning out the window does it for me. Anything overtly masculine swoon Smile

NotFatTransslender · 05/04/2019 14:27

I like a hairy back. Also monobrows. Don't like a man who grooms himself!
