Following on from another thread , I was thinking about women in particular ... what are women’s most attractive attributes , both personality and physically, to you ?

Confidence

ladymalfoy · 03/04/2019 17:55

Not giving a shit about the spurious opinions of others.

WoollyMummoth · 03/04/2019 17:57

Versatility/being fabulous multitaskers

Prinstress · 03/04/2019 17:58

Courage and resilience

Samind · 03/04/2019 17:59

Confident walking! Head up, shoulders back and with purpose!

Don’t ask me, I’m hideous

That 'I've totally got my shit together' kind of poise. I met a woman today who used to be in the army, and as soon as she told me this I realised that's where it comes from- that kind of disciplined, 'tight', totally sorted thing (which I absolutely do not have)

I don't think it can be faked, and the people who have it probably find it a burden.

Not being a pleaser
No nonsense
Sense of humour
The kind of person who isn’t afraid to be unpopular

Ok I’ll bite.
Well thought out opinions to make good conversation - personality

A sense of style that is personal to them, needn’t be radical but it’s their own look somehow - physical

Wisdom. Someone said to me today “your so wise” and I took it as a big compliment. A lot of us do seem to go through so much and over time we do develop a certain wisdom. I also think it links in to things like confidence and the not giving a shit attitude.

Warmth. Openness. Give and take. Self deprecation (cultural thing I guess). Moral courage that allows for compromise because it's about people not ideology. Other sexes with these attributes are available but seem to take a bit longer to get there.

Arm wrestling skills.
Meatloaf trivia knowledge.

I think you'll get very different answers on a female-dominated forum such as MN than you would on somewhere like Reddit, pistonheads or overclockers....

MsMustDoBetter · 03/04/2019 18:13

To be elegant, natural (no silly lips of rubbery faces), carefree and kind.

MsMustDoBetter · 03/04/2019 18:14

With sharp wit and many interests.

BossAssBitch · 03/04/2019 18:14

Witt, kindness, intellect, drive, poise, elegance, class, style, velvety voice, obvious asthetics - good skin, hair, figure, bone structure

ShitAtScarbble · 03/04/2019 18:15

Not giving a shit about the spurious opinions of others

Yes to this!

3in4years · 03/04/2019 18:18

Kindness
Smiliness
Good teeth
Good skin
Being animated, quick to laugh, positive.

staydazzling · 03/04/2019 18:20

agree with Phil some very right on responses here

FermatsTheorem · 03/04/2019 18:25

ladymalfoy wins the thread!

Even taking the question at face value, surely this is one of those "how long is a piece of string?" questions. Some people may value intelligent conversation at number one in their list of attributes, some may value kindness, others reliability... Or were you asking what a heterosexual man would be attracted to in a woman he wanted a relationship with/quick shag with (suspect the lists for those are different from one another too)?

Soundsgoodtome · 03/04/2019 18:27

Super responses! It’s empowering to read Through all of these and recognise women through them .. my mother, sister, friends, colleagues. The women whose attributes I find attractive are not afraid to question obvious wrongs, self contained, quirky and funny . Loves mane of dark hair and tan skin aswell as good teeth ! Really enjoying reading the responses .

Intellectual curiosity. Tolerance.

iwillkeepthishouseclean · 03/04/2019 18:30

Not reading think and thinking do I have these ?

Accepting you are who you are x

Soundsgoodtome · 03/04/2019 18:32

Both men and women’s opinions I guess . I think female attributes we admire in character may be similar for men and women ?
