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?

Cyclists' calves.

Seconding rolling cigarettes - that and a good forearm does things to me! Add in a full tattoo sleeve and I'm done.

Broken noses with bumps - my first job was at a rugby club bar and I think it's imprinted on my ideal of attractiveness!

Also seconding the geekiness - anyone who's run a D&D is my dream bloke.

Northern accents so I can pretend I don't live in the south.

^ wonder why I'm single with that wish list!? Wink

In his OLD pics DP had excellently rolled up sleeves. So precise and neat. A total draw for me.

Wejustdontknow · 21/02/2019 18:33

Colourrunruinedmyhair I am absolutely howling at firearms, tears running down my face and dp thinks I have slightly lost the plot.
For me it’s a man who can dance, I can’t resist a man who can move well Smile
Agree also with the arm on the opposite headrest when reversing

WinkyisbackontheButterBeer · 21/02/2019 18:33

Scruffy. I don’t mean trackers and trainers but....
longish scruffy dark hair
Jeans and boots or converse
Old t shirt or shirt rolled up
Sharp jaw in need of a shave. (Really want to lick along it) Blush

Even better, if they are in a suit but I know that they would normally look like the above.
And even better again, if the shirt is oven and the tie pulled loose around the neck, you know, when you can tell that they’ve had a tough day at work.

Ooh. I’m all hot! Blush

Jammysod · 21/02/2019 18:35

Police men wearing a stab vest. No idea why the vest does it for me.

Amrapaali · 21/02/2019 18:36

Men with soft eyes. Double-whammy if combined with a hunk bod...

halfwitpicker · 21/02/2019 18:36

Unshakeable arrogance
Men who walk slowly and with purpose (it makes me think they must have a huge cock Blush)
Veiny hands and forearms, especially with a shirt rolled up to show them off. Hands can be a massive turn on. If I see a hot man, I immediately check his hands out
A guy's neck
Beards
Smoking - not sure why because it's disgusting
Men who look slightly dishevelled and maybe a bit mucky
The obvious one - fuck me eyes.

Chocolatecoffeeaddict · 21/02/2019 18:36

I love my man's bum cheeks, muscular but smallish. And his big nose. He hates his nose but I find it so sexy and masculine.

IceIceCoffee · 21/02/2019 18:38

I do have a thing for Gordon Ramsey
also on a separate note Jeremy Corbyn, Ted Danson. They are probably old enough to be my Grandad.

I like big hands.
A check shirt tight on the arms
I seem to be drawn to damaged men too. That one hasn’t served me well.

ToeDust · 21/02/2019 18:39

I like a man in a kilt, with the knee high socks and the sporran. I was tempted to get the men in kilts calendar until i saw the pictures mostly had no legs on them 😭

Weepingwillows12 · 21/02/2019 18:40

Guys that wear shorts even in winter. Not short shorts but the 'I am an outdoorsy person shorts'

Wejustdontknow · 21/02/2019 18:41

Thought of some more:
A man in a full suit, men with slightly longer hair at the back so it goes over their collar and the biggest one is a stubbled man in tracks bottoms, not sweatpants but proper chavvy adidas trackies really does it for me

OdeToDiazepam · 21/02/2019 18:41

Southern accent and I'm yours Grin

ILiveInSalemsLot · 21/02/2019 18:42

Men with long hair. Not overly long but shoulder length.
Bandanas. I have a thing for good looking men in bandanas.

OdeToDiazepam · 21/02/2019 18:43

Also like veiny forearms

MamaBear2181 · 21/02/2019 18:43

A very small chip off a front tooth or a small gap between the two front teeth, can’t be both though it’s very precise.

Men who still look hot when they smile. I fancy loads of blokes until I see them smiling then go right off them! It’s very rare that i find one still sexy with a happy face.

Mechanics overalls preferably with grease all over them.

Hiddenaspie1973 · 21/02/2019 18:43

A bit cuddly.

peachgreen · 21/02/2019 18:44

Facial scars, especially from a cleft lip. Literally sends me weak at the knees.

peachgreen · 21/02/2019 18:46

Oh and hooded eyes, ala Rufus Sewell and James Acaster.

Tink2007 · 21/02/2019 18:46

Oooh...suit, no tie, top button open 😍

theharlotletter · 21/02/2019 18:47

Big square hands that must always be warm and dry and have nails that are neat but not too neat, DH has gorgeous hands.

Hairy chests are always very welcome.

Auldspinster · 21/02/2019 18:49

I love these types of thread!

halfwitpicker · 21/02/2019 18:51

with slightly longer hair at the back so it goes over their collar

^^

This too.

minkies11 · 21/02/2019 18:51

Giving me lots of daydream fodder - thanks Wink
