In a man:
Muscles
Height (sorry)
Aura - are they strong or weak?

I think straight men notice:
Skin (does it have that dewy look)
Shape
How much you care for yourself (manicure, hair, etc)

Competence, kindness and personality. Love men with a sense of humour/a little bit filthy.

'A little bit filthy' 😄 very much agree

Did you not find it awkward being out with them and kissing them? 👀

Genuine question, not being rude?

Nope, we were just different heights.

Are you me? I married a clean shaven, bald but very hairy bodied builder. Seeing him all filthy in orange hi Vis still makes me weak at the knees🤭 oh and he's definitely not skinny either

Sounds like we have similar rates in men.

At first glance, it is their looks, however it is someone with lovely eyes.
Honesty is wanted.
Kind

What men want certainly isn't me.
Kept getting told I am nice but men do not want that. Lol

Oh @Sparkysmum

Maybe try being a bitch? I've heard men like that 🤢

I've been told i'm nice as well x

In a man:
Love
Kindness
Honesty
Chemistry I guess is a subconscious thing
Critical thinking, interested in the world around them and who gives a shiny
I really do find these things hot!

In a woman:
The man I'd be interested in would value similar things, but I would say statistically the majority of men it would probably be just bajoobas.
(Edited to say "not all men")

I don't understand the tall thing. I think to favour height is a form of irrationality or even madness.

And a very English thing, probably. In most countries (probably (I didn't check)) 90 percent of men are going to be under 5'9 and I doubt height would come into it at all for women in those countries?

It's just a personal thing

Tall is better to sleep with, imo

There's a lady above who has dated shorter, it wasn't a bit deal she said x

I am not sure it is just a personal thing. I was brought up in the UK with everyone around me thinking tall is superior, so all my boyfriends and fiances were tall (there were more than one fiance, I was nicknamed runaway bride sadly)
Until one day i realised that it was an insane and very unreliable way of picking a partner, along with the rest of my insane checklist - and I do think it is partly the way girls are brought up in the UK
So I felt like you for a long time
But I am height blind now and go more for what is inside : )

Not really. Some of them dont gain much length but others seem to balloon out of nowhere!

One minute it's a little fat ball and the next minute it can poke your eye out from across the room.

Absolutely. And in addition to this…. I have a fairly extensive personal sample size and my conclusions are, for my body anyway:

  1. great length can often be too long- banging against cervix and forcing you to be careful just when you want to fully go wild. I personally lose interest at around 8 inches, at which point it becomes something to ‘manage’ more than enjoy.
  2. girth is for me more correlated with extreme pleasure. That said one of my best experiences was with the thinnest cock I’ve ever encountered. That was because of the…..
  3. Angle when erect. Upward bending- incredible for g-spot especially face to face (very long cocks also tend to bypass said gspot)
  4. different cocks are great for different positions. The Man who made me most ecstatic in one position, was just average for another…. While that other position spins me to the heights for a different shaped man.
  5. Skill and attitude go a long way…. But not all the way!

There was a lovely thread recently about Danny Di Vito - the OP said she would and many of us agreed with her😊

He's about 5 foot!

Really?

Maybe straight men like them clean and neat though?

Overly manicured nails suggest low intelligence.

Yes, he's a good example of someone who could be considered attractive without being in any way conventionally good-looking.

Bluedenimdoglover · 13/04/2026 16:25

Men who don't love themselves more than they love me.

Me - as my father always said - you are first prize - and make sure they know it 😂
