A Northern accent helps too.

The right aftershave! For example, when you're walking down the street and a man passes you, you barely notice him until you get a whiff of a nice scent and it makes you turn around to see who it belonged to.x

Muscley arms and big thighs. Having said that though I fancy Gene Hunt.

Mental and emotional stability, calmness and transparency. Men who function strongly in those areas do it for me as it makes me feel safe.

A nice voice - which says interesting and intelligent things. Also shoulders, back and forearms Wink

Driving across the country to spend literally 12 hours with me and meet my family last Christmas. Knew he was a keeper then. First Christmas together this year and his girls are coming to us (adults)

@lasttangoinscunthorpe

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

The black short sleeved uniform shirts are just OMG amazing... you lucky, lucky thing...! Wink

I'm another one that appreciates the rolled up sleeves.

And DP when he fawns over the cats like they're his children, despite always previously having claimed to not be a cat person!

Excellent sense of humor. Thick thighs.

I read that as 'thick tights' and was like Confused takes all sorts!

Dark hair and lots of it. Dark eyes, every time.
The eyes. Warm and melting, slightly downturned with a beautiful, warm smile.
Good hands, strong forearms. Physical strength. Gentle heart. Quiet.
A whiff of Chanel Allure Homme sport or Dior Fahrenheit.
Humour!

What the hell is it about forearms? But totally agree.
Funny, quietly confident, takes care of his physical appearance. And a knowing look, meant just for me. And good texts can be very sexy.

Curly hair makes me come over a bit unnecessary. It’s not a deal breaker though. DH does not have curly hair and he still makes me come over a bit unnecessary!

Uniform. DP is a firefighter and the uniform makes me swoon. Especially when he comes home a bit sooty and smelling of fire.

Dark hair or ginger (I don't find blonde attractive).

Confidence that doesn't spill over into arrogance/cockiness.

Kindness and compassion. Treats others (and animals) well. Says a lot about someone.

Competence. DP just knows how to fit/fix things. Recent examples - services my car, fitted our kitchen, changed the locks, re-hung a door.

Deep voice. Quite like a Scottish accent too. Geordie/Scouse are a complete turn off.

A bit of facial hair - not too much, just enough.
A well cut expensive suit - With nice shoes. DH is a manual worker so always looks tatty and he loves an excuse to dress up and smell nice
A guy who can do a bit of DIY- ex was fucking useless!

When my husband is wearing a long sleeved top and pulls the sleeves up just below his elbows. I don't know why it's so sexy on an already good looking man. I now understand how women showing ankles in Victorian times caused such a stir!

In a good suit and then loosening the tie and rolling up the sleeves... *comes over all faint
