What is an instant turn on about a woman?

Inspired by the other thread about instant turn-ons!

I am single and also, as I slug around in my dressing gown eating cheese, I do not feel sexy, at all! So asking men and gay women, what are your instant turn ons for women? Women in general, has your partner told you what he/she finds sexy?

I also think boobs are overrated. My first H only liked boobs ‘small enough to fit in his mouth’ 😂

Current H isn’t really bothered about boobs unless they’re encased in fishnet or a corset or fancy bra!

@HikeForward My OH is more interested in bums than boobs which works well for me as I have crap boobs but a great arse 😆

@GreenlandTheMovie to the contrary I am a traditional professional as you mention and have spent my entire career surrounded by lots of similarly employed friends and colleagues. I certainly don’t think professional men are the only secure men I spoke of. I believe a secure man is one who has been raised around a strong female presence (mothers, sisters, aunts, cousins,friends) and taught to respect and champion all the positives they bring to any scenario.

If we take your view of professional men aspiring to all want accomplished, attractive wives, only approx 20% of the UK work force is professional. I do not know what percentage of that is only male professionals. So that’s a very small pool of men who desire those characteristics and find them attractive. But like I said I don’t for a second think it’s only professional men who think this and so hopefully the pool of men who do is bigger but they will still be in the minority of men who truly find that attractive and not just on a superficial level or give lip service to the idea.

Thats not my view though. Thats just a load of extrapolation which you have made up and then said its my view.

It also depends very much on which is your "profession". I can only say that in my experience of going through university with a bunch of lawyers, doctors and dentists, a sizable number did marry within those professions and what you said about there being very few men who could cope with professional successful women seems to be wrong. There are quite a lot who can, although I doubt that you find many of them single at 45 and on dating sites (or whatever).

All my professional female friends are married. I'm not really aware of all these successful professional female women who can't find men, as it seems that their husbands sought them out quite early.
