But what about rolled up suit sleeves? A la Miami Vice circa 1985.

That’s a universal no, surely?

@Valeatqueave

Not sure why but I would find it really hard to find a Welsh accent sexy!
You are obviously too young to remember Richard Burton!

A voice like Alan Rickman (RIP)
Obvious skill/competence in anything
Nice eyes

I do quite like height and a full head of hair, but they're not instant turn-ons by themselves. Voice, eyes, talent. That'll do me.

I like decisive, slightly grumpy men who excel in a pub quiz or who go out a lot.

@pooopypants

Tattoo sleeves. Shemar Moore. Jason Momoa.

Omg tattoo sleeves are my weakness. And muscular arms 😩😂

@Zoinksalot

That just made me spit out my tea

BuzzingTheBee · 23/12/2020 12:51

Sense of hunour

BuzzingTheBee · 23/12/2020 12:51

Humour

OnlyToWin · 23/12/2020 12:53

Shirts rolled up to just below the elbow, a decent, chunky watch and putting his hand on the back of your carseat as he reverses.

@NoShitHemlock - snap!!🤣

@TheChristmasPrincess

I’d like to add ‘good with kids’.

One of the reasons I fell so hard for DH is because he was so involved with his nieces and clearly adored them.

The reason why there’s such a small age gap between DS1 and DS2 was because DH was carrying DS1 around whilst he had no shirt on and was wearing very skinny black jeans. My ovaries practically exploded 😂

Yes this is a big one.

Before my partner moved in when he came round he would make a point of spending the first half an hour or so playing with my son. Now he lives here as soon as he gets home from work he washes his hands and their 30 minute play time starts. He is brilliant at reading his body language etc as well.

He has a little brother (as in small child little), who would normally spend most of his school holidays in the UK with my partner. He has missed that so much this year.

I can’t wait for him to become a Dad, he’ll be amazing.

Dark hair, long eyelashes, light eyes, quick wit. And someone who will clean up cat vomit without flinching.

dinglethedragon · 23/12/2020 13:49

Grey hair and blue eyes - think Paul Newman 🥰

Hugglepuff3 · 23/12/2020 14:37

romany4 · 23/12/2020 14:40

Hairy chest and rolled up shirt sleeves showing forearms

I wish I could pretend that was the case (well, I could, but ...) Grin Although at least I'm nowhere near as old as he would be now! No, he's not my type either; I'm afraid rugged doesn't really do it for me, and a Welsh accent in a growl doesn't either ... My mum found Sean Connery irresistible too (I know he's a Scot not a Welshman) but that type just doesn't appeal at all. Jeremy Irons would be nearer to it.

Valeatqueave · 23/12/2020 14:55

Just to add, Scottishness is definitely not a problem (as mentioned before, it's a plus); it's the ruggedness that's the minus with Sean Connery.

Lovemusic33 · 23/12/2020 14:59

Beards, the bigger the better but has to be well kept).
Chest hair 😋

DonnaQuixotedelaManchester · 23/12/2020 16:42

Am in Ireland now. Listening for accents. Will report back.

Can I hear more about New York men? Am heading there in the Spring (covid pending). Imagine they are high maintenance?

TomorrowsPrincess · 23/12/2020 17:19

I came home from work today to find my partner of 7 &1/2 years washing up and cleaning the kitchen for the first time EVER!
If the kids hadn't been about I would have dropped straight to my knees and blown his.....erm.... mind Wink
Also, I love hands (nice manly well kept hands and strong arms on a tall, well built man)..... all of which my DP has (smug grin) GrinGrinGrin

NewinTown25 · 23/12/2020 17:26

Kindness, slight hint of humor and impeccable table manners

Redland12 · 23/12/2020 17:30

Large tattooed full,sleeves arms😈

@PepsiArcade

Roman noses and cleft chins!
What's a Roman nose? Never heard of this 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣
Bumpsadaisie · 23/12/2020 17:33

Oh. Chunky hairy forearms and strong hands.

Shirt a little open revealing chest hair. Sends me dizzy.

Bumpsadaisie · 23/12/2020 17:34

The forearms thing really is a thing isn't it!!

Mum1957 · 23/12/2020 17:41

Tanned body, quality trousers & shoes and bare ankles OMG
