A little line of hairs running down their belly and disappearing into their jeans.

Big thighs.

Beards.

The ability to stroke my arm in JUST the right way

OR just actually being Zac Efron. He would be able to get away with an inability to stroke my arm just right....

Intelligence, competence, confidence, manliness. In a uniform.

lasttangoinscunthorpe · 22/12/2020 02:49

DP is a police officer. When he comes home from work in uniform with a short sleeved shirt on, forearms bare...

StoppinBy · 22/12/2020 02:49

A man who is much taller and stronger than me, who could over power me in a heartbeat if he wanted but wouldn't (except in bedroom games when requested Wink ).

VetiverAndLavender · 22/12/2020 02:50

Shirts rolled up to just below the elbow

Yes! Surprised someone had already mentioned this!

Also self-confidence (without cockiness). Just a sense that he's competent and knows it.

And a good sense of humour and a charming smile...

Seafog · 22/12/2020 02:50

Competency....could be in sports, woodwork, research, painting...
Show me a man with super skills, and I'm hooked

PolkadotGiraffe · 22/12/2020 02:52

Kindness, intelligence, wit, lack of arrogance, being tall and strong, independence, insight and understanding about things and people and the ability to speak eloquently about things that matter so that we can have interesting conversations.

akerman · 22/12/2020 02:52

Good sense of humour.
Kindness.
My DH is the kindest man.

Laserbird16 · 22/12/2020 02:53

DH Blush I love it when he puts his hands behind his head and stretches. I get to appreciate his biceps, broad shoulders and general v-shape...quite alluring. Plus he smells great.

PolkadotGiraffe · 22/12/2020 02:54

I find uniforms really gross. Envy Each to their own for sure!

SupremeDreamz · 22/12/2020 02:55

Can't lie a six pack

A six pack of Scrumpy Jack is hot.

Mypathtriedtokillme · 22/12/2020 02:58

“Don’t worry about dinner, already arranged,” as he finishes vacuuming the house while wearing the baby is asleep in the carrier?

coronafiona · 22/12/2020 02:58

Kindness, generosity and consideration

CatAndHisKit · 22/12/2020 03:01

Nice hands!
not too soft / too rough, no small neat hands (eww)

Eyes / the right kind of gaze into your eyes.

Guineapigbridge · 22/12/2020 03:02

A Scottish accent

Worried234 · 22/12/2020 03:12

Scrubs.
Forearms.
Driving.

sergeilavrov · 22/12/2020 03:16

Strong woody smell. If he wasn’t so wonderful, I could replace DH with a decent candle.

Forearms and the shirt thing are thankfully not just me.

Tezza1 · 22/12/2020 03:36

Being listened to actively and intently, as if I'm the most fascinating person in the world.

yvanka · 22/12/2020 03:39

Curly hair and nice shoulders. Lifting/opening things for me. Agree on changing gear, weirdly.

PineconeOfDoom · 22/12/2020 03:42

Strength, forearms and, yep, the back stroking. I guess it all adds up to feeling very safe and loved Blush

FixItUpChappie · 22/12/2020 03:46

Arm sleeve tattoo on a lean muscled arm

Graphista · 22/12/2020 03:46

Lopsided smiles and "flaws" can't be doing with "perfect" but a simple additional "flaw" a small scar or unusual walk or way of speaking or whatever and I'm hooked, ex had a badly set broken nose - yes I'm weird Grin

hopingforonlychild · 22/12/2020 03:49

Jewish.

I always thought there is something to the belief that Jewish men make excellent husbands. I met DH before I became Jewish and before I met him, thought most men I met were dire and not husband material at all. But then I became Jewish and met more Jewish men through DH and socialising... Have never met so many eligible men- smart, educated, good career, respects women, does chores, good looking, eloquent, sense of humour. On the r/s boards, people are always saying that they can't find good men but unfortunately I can't advise them to go to a Jewish singles event or synagogue or Friday night dinner :)

waitrosetrollydolly · 22/12/2020 03:50

For instant melt - A Good smile and nice teeth.
For a slow burn , I'd want to be noticing good values, heathy attitude to others, kindness and character strength in equal measure. Good smell and good sense of humour.
