What do women actually find attractive about men?

[PeeAche]

Inspired by a a reverso thread, I want to know... what is it you like so much about the Hairy Ones?

When I was 9 years old, my teacher made me sit next to a boy called Jamie who was kind of naughty. He used to swap words in our hymns for other words that rhymed or otherwise fit. Sometimes it would make the song rude. Sometimes it would just mean he was singing his heart out to his dog instead of god.
It would make me giggle and I would think about him, even when I wasn't at school.

The day that I first heard Jamie belt out "to my dirty pants" instead of "to the elephants" in morning assembly, is the day I realised that I love the mischievous ones.

And yes, I married one. 🙊

That is a lovely story! I would have fallen for Jamie too.

I like the mischievous ones. But I also am attracted to strong secure men who don't flit all over the place. I like to feel like I matter and am adored. I initially find myself attracted to the Jamie's of the world but I'm not able to make those relationships last.

Mau from Couples Therapy Series 1. Everything about him. I know that he is a lousy excuse for a human being but he is the only guy I have ever fancied off the tv!

I’m a horrible cliche, but I really find tall men attractive. Broad, dark hair, nice eyes.

I mean that’s on first glance, obvs someone to make me laugh and be good fun, but reliable and loving and not a lazy dosser.

Smart guys. I know it increases the proportion of twats, but they have to be smart.

I love broad shoulders my husband has them and for some reason I see them as not just physical strength but as being capable to deal with anything and everything and to be fair he has many times proved this over our 25 years together 🥰

I like it when they wear shirts. And I really really like it when they drive sensibly. 😍

I find it really attractive when men are quick witted, intelligent and pay close attention when we’re talking. DP ticks all those boxes. He is not model good looks, neither am I. But I only have eyes for him.

I like kind, funny men. Every single LTR I've had has been with kind, gentle men who make me laugh. I don't get the attraction to "bastards" at all. Two exes tried to treat me badly and found themselves dumped immediately.

Physically, I like either very dark brown or very bright blue eyes. I love a nice strong forearm in a rolled up sleeve too.

Kindness. Interest in the world. Open minded. Look good with shirt sleeves rolled up. Good dad. Laughs a lot.

I like the shape of a lean man and the fact they feel less "soft" than women, even slim women. Areas like back and legs.

I am also super attracted to the way my partner moves. And his smell, which I only notice now if I haven't seen him for a while, but it used to drive me crazy when we first met. And his profile, I always seem to find men's profiles more attractive than face on for some reason

They have to be clever and switched on, interested in the world and a bit of a seeker, not just bright and in a good career.

Physically substantial men are attractive to me.

Kindness, consideration, genuinely taking an interest, not clichéd. Always older than me and got to be vaguely intelligent.

Intelligence, a decent sense of humour and an ethical approach to life.

They look so cute in a suit.

And yes, I agree with someone being a bit of a seeker. I would not be attracted to someone who was content with a very small life. That doesn't mean that they have to be financially ambitious in the slightest, but they do need to have big dreams of some sort.

Bit taller than me, fit body that's lean muscle rather than bulk. The ability to keep it up once we get that far, and knows what to do in bed. Either clean-shaven or a neatly trimmed beard. Smells good. Smiley eyes. Educated and can keep up with my brain, can change my perspective on how I see the world and I learn about new things from things we talk about/do together. Is capable of doing basic Google research and also of taking care of a house, such as basic laundry housework and cooking skills. And we don't have to agree on politics etc, but they need to have decent values and show they have thought about it enough to argue their case.

I'm attracted to clever, observant, well-travelled, working-class men.

Kindness is number one, closely followed by funny. I've been laughed into bed a number of times in my life, and/or had crushes on men that aren't at all my physical type but make me laugh.

I appreciate a moderate amount of chest hair.

I also like a guy with nice hands / wrists, short clean nails and for preference wears a chunky watch.

I've never been much interested in musicians/bands but DP sings lead vocals in one occasionally and oh. my. days.

Cliché but I like tall men who look fit/slim. Not into big muscles. Not really fussed about hair /eye colour but I do like smiley eyes, the kind that crinkle in the corners.

Dh is tall and slim, that attracted me initially, he has always dressed well, which I noticed too, and his eyes are expressive.

He makes me laugh, is abit mischievous, assertive, loyal, supportive, pulls his weight, and is a brilliant dad. I find all that very attractive.

Physically - Tallish, slim build, dark hair/eyes, strong jawline and some stubble.
Mentally - Empathetic, GSOH and intelligent.
Oh and is enthusiastic and generous in the bedroom 👍🏻

Honesty
Supportive
Caring
Say what they mean
Dark hair
Beard
Tats

Physique wise, big and broad. I love a man who can envelop you in his arms. Hairy, preferably not on the back but everywhere else please. Beard. Love a good beard. The most gorgeous, kind eyes. Steady and dependable, but also good fun to be with. Must have a sex drive as high as mine and be bloody good too.
Hardworking and reliable.

Must admit that's my bf 😂 😂 😂

.. and a sense of humour. Able to make me laugh so I pee a little!

Oh and the smell, love a man who smells nice!!

When men smile - sincerely - I find them more attractive.
