What do you find attractive?

Light hearted question - a male friend just told me that he can get turned on just by hearing his girlfriend’s voice on the phone (in a normal conversation rather than anything sexy!)

This surprised me and led me to wonder if this was a common thing? What do you find attractive in someone apart from the obvious?

Glasses.

HighlandPony · 09/10/2022 16:54

Bum and smell. Not an aftershavey smell either I like a working man. Veiny forearms too

I agree love hearing my OH on the phone (to someone else) lovely deep voice.

hosyyy · 09/10/2022 16:56

Smell too!

A guy I'm working with was quite close to me in a lift, instantly had not so pure thoughts 😂

I like men who are a bit uptight! I myself an intense character and I realised in my mid 20s I needed a man who was a bit "type A" about something, bonus points if its something I don't care about myself.

Also not dissimilar but general tidiness. I simply cannot be attracted to a man who "doesn't see" mess/things that need doing.

Gaps between front teeth. I find them very attractive in men and women 😁

SunshineLollipopsAndRainbows · 09/10/2022 17:03

Sense of humour - my DH makes me laugh every day & it’s really sexy! Also I love watching him bake bread.

SunshineLollipopsAndRainbows · 09/10/2022 17:05

Men doing martial arts can be sexy as hell - I had a massive crush on my Sensei for years!

Autumntime2022 · 09/10/2022 17:05

Confidence but not cockiness.

Skelligsfeathers · 09/10/2022 17:05

Forearms and hands. With rolled up shirt sleeves.

babyyodaxmas · 09/10/2022 17:07

Physical courage. Can't be doing with people who are scared of needles/ bees/ wasps/ heights etc

ohhelldoi · 09/10/2022 17:08

Masculine hands, a sense of humour and good a socialising skills, confidence but not cockiness and nice shoes Smile

Pumpkinpatchlookinggood · 09/10/2022 17:10

The way my dh loves our ddogs as much as me!

My DH does this, we'll be talking on the phone about something completely none sexual and he'll get turned on.

Or we can be sat having a conversation in person and the more intense the discussion, the more animated I get the more sexual he feels.

I get turned on by nothing. I'm clearly dead below the waist. Grin

ghostsandpumpkinsalready · 09/10/2022 17:17

Definitely a droid humour and I also like them to smell desirable both men and women

Badbaddogagain · 09/10/2022 17:20

long eyelashes and a joyous laugh

RiftGibbon · 09/10/2022 17:23

Intelligence (but not superciliousness), funny, musical, socially aware & willing to challenge injustice.
Nice hands, forearms, collarbone.

Skelligsfeathers · 09/10/2022 17:05

Absolutely this.
Also general capability at life, not needing me to direct or instruct and just get on with it.

B1rd · 09/10/2022 17:25

Cheek dimples. My total weakness.

Imissmoominmama · 09/10/2022 17:26

The way he loves my dogs, and his sense of humour.

almondflake · 09/10/2022 17:28

Full lips, wide chest and a high bum 😁

dreammattemousse · 09/10/2022 17:30

Brown eyes 😍😍

BrightOrangeRectangles · 09/10/2022 17:32

In terms of dating, genuine gentlemanly behaviour is very attractive.

In a relationship, all round good manners and patience. Also bravery and a certain charisma.

isthismylifenow · 09/10/2022 17:34

Grey hair with a salt and pepper beard regrowth. Or vice versa.

Attractive eyes, the colour doesn't matter.

An Irish accent. But as I live in the Southern Hesmisphere, the chance would be a fine thing.

BrightOrangeRectangles · 09/10/2022 17:37

Physical - short back and sides hairstyle. If with a beard, not one of those poncy over groomed ones like Rylan Clark has.

Not fussed about height, hair or skin and eye colour, but a solid build is attractive. Being neat and tidy and taking good care of body and mind too
