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?

Stocky but not fat.
Big dick wouldn't settle for a small one.
A nice perky butt.
Rough sex, not really a soft and gentle kind of women.

Woman*

Yes, my husband's voice turns me on.

Mostly it's personality that makes me attracted; interesting, intelligent, willing to have interesting conversations, excitement about life.

Looks-wise it's mostly dark hair for me but I've found people attractive because of their personality alone before.

Lastly it's attractive to have someone want the same things as you and who you can build a life together with.

Tall, chunky men with big arms and thick thighs. Dark hair,glasses. Extrovert to my introvert. Dominant in bed but not outside of it lol

(Man here) I dont really care much about a womans personality, Im very visual and even back in school I was always a visual learner.

As long as she isnt a bitch then I couldnt care, she could be boring or not know a word of english but if shes attractive/fertile then thats all that matters

Summerlovin24 · 11/10/2022 15:09

Yep
Voice
And smell mmmm
Hairy chest
Strong arms (not massive though)

The guy I’m dating is quietly very assertive- he tells me about meetings at work, or I hear them, where he’s able to stay polite, but also protects the interests of the most vulnerable party by holding everyone to account. I don’t know whether it’s cos he’s got a deep voice and can hold the room, or his deep integrity, but it makes me so horny!

devilinareddress · 11/10/2022 15:31

Definitely the voice, sense of humour. I workout a lot but I don't like men with honed bodies, but I like men in sportswear, hiking clothes etc. also men who love dogs

devilinareddress · 11/10/2022 15:32

Also men in authoritarian to,ex, but that speak softly to me

devilinareddress · 11/10/2022 15:32

Authoritarian roles

SmellyNelliey · 11/10/2022 15:45

I love nice dark moisturised skin
Lovely brown eyes
Nice looked after nails
Regular hair cuts
Big arms and thighs
And nice teeth is a must😍😍

IsThePopeCatholic · 11/10/2022 15:46

Strong legs, ginger/red hair, freckled arms, confident, good shoes, articulate, intelligent, sensitive.

Forearms and hands. With rolled up shirt sleeves.

Absolutely this!!

grumpybunny · 11/10/2022 15:58

Dark hair with an extremely neat and tidy haircut. Not a fan of smoking but if I see them with a cigarette, I’m like Joey in Friends, I want them even more!

DrCoconut · 11/10/2022 16:34

@liIi agreed about more northern accents. I could listen to Max Beesley talk all day.

theonlygirl · 11/10/2022 17:23

another vote for forearms and good shoes. plus height, anywhere between 6''1 and 6"3 really floats my boat. good conversationalist and ability to make me laugh. all a bit conventional. sorry.

theonlygirl · 11/10/2022 17:26

I'm going to add expensive aftershave and a southern Irish accent.

Benjispruce4 · 11/10/2022 17:30

@theonlygirl we’ll be fighting for him!

Do you gauge whether or not she’s “fertile” immediately? Wow. What a superb skill.

lifesabitchandthenyoudie · 11/10/2022 17:49

Kind to animals. Tells you all you need to know.

but then
shoulders, dimples, sense of humour. my DP hasn't got the shoulders, quite, but hey ho; 25 years and counting 😍

Viostep · 11/10/2022 17:53

Competence. I love that my husband does housework, cooks and is an excellent dad to our child. Couldn't be with someone useless, so unsexy.
