What random / secret things do you find attractive?!

[Luckyduck88]

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?

men with nice firearms

"Not smoking but someone rolling a cigarette. No idea why."

I think it's the nimble fingers and licking (of the cigarette paper)

Oh when they smell a little bit like beer too clearly I have issues

Dirty hands 😶 and riggers

DH works in an office.....

Big strong hands. Battered through gardening or manual labour. But still soft 😊

I find a bloke filthy from hard work the sexiest thing ever. As long as it comes with knowledge too.

Ability to play a musical instrument. Discovering he could play the piano extremely well rejuvenated a flagging relationship. For a couple of weeks....

Can produce a meal using random fridge ingredients

Nice to waiters. I went off a female acquaintance after seeing how dismissive she was to a perfectly pleasant waitress

@anothernewone riggers swoon... Fanny gallop city.

lol at firearms!

That slight smell of booze when they come back from the pub. And big hairy knackers (sorry, you did ask!).

Lynx Africa still does it for me, from my teenage years. The problem is now my son sometimes wears it

Also a man who has a confident walk
I've been on mumsnet too long.
I read that as confident wank.

I have a thing for shapely calves.

Not overly muscley or too scrawny and with nice ankles.

I recently found out this was totally a thing in tudor times and felt totally vindicated

Filthy from work only works if you know they've had a shower that morning, though.

Competence
Good singing voice
Nice to random babies

Not random or secret. Practically obligatory on MN, usually reversing whilst wrapped around a head rest or in rolled up white shirt sleeves.

I quite like a man in a cable knit sweater. Or a man chopping wood.

Dark curly hair that just brushes the collar - preferably the collar of a denim shirt.

A tool belt and a Makita in hand. Blokes who look like they could build a house or get a saw out of the boot to chop up a tree blocking a road. I am rarely in this situation but still...!

Being really, genuinely polite and kind to any person giving a service (shop assistants, restaurant staff)

A cut glass accent with a tinge of London. Knickers off!

A quick fire mind with witty repartee (to my piss taking)

Scruffy, curly hair and a well maintained but not too groomed beard.

Forgot one - a slightly ruddy complexion and a wide, ‘open’ face with reddish / strawberry blonde hair.

I have always had a thing for rather rotund balding men. DH is neither but still find him very attractive. Also, men with that floppy hair. Cannot resist. Well, I do but you know what I mean.

Big noses.

The crinkles at the back of the neck on larger black men, only ever see them on the big guys and it only works with black skin. Makes me want to go and hug complete strangers.

Thighs on a tall man when driving.

I do like a man in a scruffy woollen jumper, for sure.

Not sure about the reversing / forearm thing. I like to do my own reversing. I don't like being driven at all, actually!

I came on here to say smoking as well OP! I hate smoking really, but have this secret crush on smokers generally. I think it's because they were always the naughty ones at school and I wasn't! Also, it's all that paraphernalia they have, lighters and stuff. Now they all go outside together as well, like a secret club I can't join, damn them...

Abbie that's rude!

Men who could pass for women if you dressed them up right

I love a geeky look

Great hands.
Men that look smart but disreputable.
Hairy chests.
