In opposition to the brilliantly funny 'ick' thread, would love to know what single random thing made you drop your knickers and think phwoooaarrrrrr?

Mine with now DH was the first time we met. A group of people were playing rounders in the park and the tennis ball came flying towards us and DH just effortlessly caught it, one handed, and without missing a beat carried on chatting to me. I very nearly jumped him there and then.

Where dp is concerned... Definitely his arse in suit trousers (&his firetrap jeans)... Perfection! It is very distracting when he visits the work site I am based at, he has a senior manager national role with the same company.

Although as well as his exceptional arse, the way he is with my dd... Swoon

Cryingoverspilttea · 05/01/2020 23:22

Honestly? His cock 🙈

DeeCeeCherry · 05/01/2020 23:23

Handsome with a deep sexy voice. His brother was also at the venue where we met, & he told his brother off for making a sexist remark about woman working behind the bar. That was it, I thought 'I want to jump this man'.

After our 1st date I didn't leave his house for 2 days. & I still feel the same way about him 6 years later

paintedfences · 05/01/2020 23:23

His casual ability to fix / build things easily. He is so practical and meticulous, he literally built me my bed (Freudian much?) when we were just friends, and I had bought this nightmare 200 piece metal jigsaw of a bed frame online. He is lovely.

With my ex - the second time I ever saw him, at a party... I had never felt such a strong attraction so quickly. (possibly due to alcohol, I just thought he was quite cute the first time when sober). When he was concentrating hard on something, so sexy. And, weirdly, a little fanny gallop when I saw his shaving gear in the bathroom - so manly!

GidgetGirl · 05/01/2020 23:25

Hah, I love reading all these.. Attraction is such a weird and individual thing. Thank god. I love it!

SlightlyStaleCocoPops · 05/01/2020 23:28

What's the deal with forearms?!

Tillygetsit · 05/01/2020 23:29

His beautiful hair. Still makes me swoon!

Shockers · 05/01/2020 23:29

His air of complete confidence and the way he could lift one eyebrow.

Twenty two years later, it’s his sense of humour.

dingdang · 05/01/2020 23:31

We conspired to steal a piece of cake in a pub and were having a great laugh about it, and I suddenly realised he was gorgeous. Swapped numbers and been hanging out for the last year. The bedroom action isn't bad eitherBlushGrin

GidgetGirl · 05/01/2020 23:34

@Tillygetsit Totally get the hair thing. I think every man I’ve ever been out with has had a decent mop. And if it’s grey - aallllll the better.

AmICrazyorWhat2 · 05/01/2020 23:38

Yep, my DH has dark curls now sprinkled with grey...mmmmm. Grin

Marriedtoapenguin · 05/01/2020 23:38

Saw her and went wow. Simple as that.

ConnorRipley · 05/01/2020 23:47

He was the tallest man in the pub with green eyes that crinkled when he smiled. I saw him and had this overwhelming sense of calm, like ‘oh there you are’. He already seemed familiar even though we’d never met.

He went out of his way to talk to me and then I discovered that he was very clever and very kind. As we were talking he bent his head to hear what I was saying more easily and he touched my elbow while listening intently to my ‘hilarious bants’. As soon as I felt his hand on my elbow, that was it.

LemonPrism · 05/01/2020 23:48

His jawline 😍 and when he wears his reading glasses he's like a sexy professor 😂

Pinkarsedfly · 05/01/2020 23:57

I met him in a bar for a drink. We were friends at the time.

When I walked into the bar he was reading a book with his long legs stretched straight out in front of him. My stomach lurched and I thought ‘Oops, I’m in trouble.’

Twelve years later, he’s sleeping next to me and I’m still in trouble Smile

TDMN · 06/01/2020 00:03

I first fancied him (as teenagers) because of his smile (even though it was in braces at the time)
Then when we finally got together, just before we first kissed, literally right before our lips touched, he did this amazing sexy grin and I was DONE. Still gives me the wibblies.

lalafafa · 06/01/2020 00:13

Massive wedge of cash in his pocket, late 90’s, we’ll endowed.

ButterflyRuns · 06/01/2020 00:15

He was so well-mannered and smelled nice

The smell of his leather jacket and allure sport. Swoon.

midnightmisssuki · 06/01/2020 00:27

hmm - his arrogance, his intellect, dark hair and his mischievous eyes - he has a deviously good sense of humour too. 16 years later - 2 children, 2 dogs, i feel the same.

Jaynie98 · 06/01/2020 00:34

The fact he was the only person there for me when it seemed like the whole world was against me, and still is, 8 years later.

JustMyName · 06/01/2020 00:35

His amazing big blue eyes. They make me melt inside.

Gonewiththemadness · 06/01/2020 00:36

Single now so will go with first love. Only ever had one serious relationship other than her and although I loved, it wasn’t ever quite the same feeling for me as with my first love and the dynamics were just so different.

So...
It was her confidence and her smile.
It was her music taste and her cute little snaggletooth which she hated but I loved.
It was her soft touch and her beautiful curves.
It was how much she cared about her family and her friends and how much effort she put into them.
It was when she played wild thing on the guitar when we visited her dad.
It was just her as a person inside and out, the good and the bad.
It was the way she changed my life and helped me grow as a person.
It all made me go phwoar, it all made me fall in love, it all made me love her.
I wasn’t right for her sadly and I wasn’t my best self when we were together. Nothing dramatic but just immature, I hadn’t grown yet, I had allot of wounds to heal before I was ready to let anyone in and she was further in her life and her growth path than I was at the time.
I messed up but I’m glad we had our time.
Now I believe she’s settled down and is getting married.
I hope her wife to be is the one for her and that she always loves and treats her well.

Turned out to be a bit deeper than I thought it would be!

Can’t ever imagine feeling that way about anyone else!
