To ask what was the phwoar factor for you?

[peaceanddove]

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.

Confidence is a huge turn on. And height too.

Realising that if I fancied him in that hideous shirt he was wearing, how would I feel when I got him out of it?! 😂

I once worked with a bloke who had the most amazing hands I've ever seen. Huge. Veiny. Tanned. Capable. They didn't match his body though, he was only small - bit like an Alsatian puppy with huge paws really

The way he looked at me when I poured my heart out about how badly my then boyfriend was treating me. The closest comparison I've ever been able to make is the look on the face of the Tiger Who Came To Tea, when he is sat on the sofa next to Sophie. It's a mix of kindly curiosity and dangerous animal hunger that flipped my tummy then and still does now. Christmas Eve was fun in our house

His smell, his forearms and his kind eyes that undressed me everytime I was anywhere near him

Bloody forearms innit! It’s not the man,, it’s the forearm with the man attached to it!

I heard him before I saw him - gorgeous, sexy North East accent. I whipped my head round so fast to see who he was! He’s now my DH

My partner has the most amazing arms, and lovely broad shoulders but his jawline when he laughs is just delicious. Throws his head back properly with no sense of self consciousness and just cackles

@ redcrudescence 😂

His genuine kindness. I noticed it the first time we met. Still a phwore factor years later...

My now fiance decided to suprise me on a night out during the first few months of us dating, it was a small local nightclub, not many people in there at the time so the DJ was taking all of my song requests and I boogied away on the dancefloor. Little to my knowledge at the time he was stood at the end of the dancefloor, arms folded, leaning against a wall watching me. When I finally realised he was there I ran to him and gave him the biggest hug ever. Safe to say we went home not long after and I fucked his brains out. Couldn't walk the next day 😆

It’s the forearms again here!! I love this thread I always thought I was odd for noticing arms but it seems not.
Plus DH has beautiful huge blue eyes and a great smile, plus a soft Scottish accent. 😍

He stepped off the train and OMG so tall ,broad shoulders that tapered down to his superb bum and long legs and oh dear! Ten years on and I look at him and still cannot believe he is mine......my tummy still flip flops quite regularly when I just glance over..and he is clean and he smells lovely and I am small and fit perfectly under his chin for a cuddle and he has the nicest feet I have ever seen and I could go on....awkward as fuck,conversation skills are a bit lacking but he is a genuinely lovely man and I am still wowed!

No game playing when we met.
Funny.
Amazing eyes.
High emotional intelligence.

DH and I were friends before we got together but the shift was when I had a bit of a rocky time (nothing massively serious just stressed) and he was just very good at making me feel everything would be ok.

Then I started to notice him more, like his biceps, his legs, and started to wonder more what it would be like to kiss him. When we finally did my knees went weak and that's never happened before!

His eyes are the sexiest eyes I've ever seen, and he knows what to do with them. He doesn't overplay it, but he can send a message when he needs to.

Pheromones.

The fact that he is tall (I'm tall, and I find tallness attractive), intelligent, quiet, and has an odd-shaped face that totally lights up when his smile fills it, also helped, but his natural smell was just delicious. And a quarter of a century later it is still delicious

awkward as fuck,conversation skills are a bit lacking but he is a genuinely lovely man and I am still wowed!

Yup!

Firearms
His smile
The ability to take the piss out of me in a way that I go hysterical with laughter
Same as above with impressions of me
Manly jawline

Forearms not guns

Oh god this thread is making me realise how much I miss having a man about and a regular shag

His good looks and height initially. I kept noticing him around the building we worked in. He would look at me just a second or two more than necessary and I felt a little jump in my belly. When I bumped into him on a night out, our first kiss was electric. He’s still a fantastic kisser, 27 years later.

My current crush - his smile and gentle demeanour.

So unlike my ex in his energy.

I could really go for a laid back guy like him. Laid back sex is the best Have no idea if he's single - despite trying very hard to look at his hand (for a wedding ring) when he walked past today. Alas, his hand was hidden by something he was carrying.

He may mistake me for someone with a weird hand fetish if i'm not careful.

Awww @ruffle you’ve got to find out!

Backs. Backs do it for me. Also I get the forearms thing.
