What do you find attractive?

[Whatonearth2021]

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?

Strong

Vulnerable

Loyal

Tall and dark hair, with big forearms and hands

Foxy from sas. Have a crush like I haven't had since my teens!

A Scottish, Irish or Yorkshire accent

Sturdy build, not too skinny but not overweight either

Good at chatting, gift of the gab I guess

I like all hair colours except blonde for some reason - never figured that out

@Buk that must be really unusual, I can’t think of anyone I know or anyone famous either who has that.

Oh yes definitely and t-shirts that are not tight but grip the upper arms, if you know what I mean.

Rolled up shirt sleeves, effortlessly carrying in all the shopping from the car.

Oof.

Absolutely this.

Also a tight white shirt, loose the and rolled up sleeves.

Anyone who can twig my user name will know the kind of men this works best on 😜

For me it's smiley eyes. And a big grin. And a sense of humour.

Everything else doesn't matter...

You and I should go on the pull together as we would never fight over men!

(Except for intelligence)

For those ladies loving the forearms, see Clint Eastwood in Bridges of Madison County. He still had it back then. When he slightly lent over Meryl Streep to pick something up, she went all faint at his arms! It does it for me too. A man with some muscle on his arms. Real men.

My boyfriends laugh makes me weak at the knees. Seeing him around his young nephews.. swoon. He's 6 ft 4 and I'm 5 10. Love his height.

He is very handsome. Looks v like young Paul Newman. But his personality and warmth is what sold it and biggest turn ons!

I used to really like CE, swooned over him as a teen, but he's turned out to be a very unpleasant person, and that put me right off.

However, the image of the taller type, with shirt sleeves that don't quite reach the wrist, so have to rolled up.....that works.😆

I've discovered I like Mediterranean men, it's the dark hair and olive skin I think. I love a man with a brain but one whose also sporty. Someone who I can have a good conversation with but also won't be bored if i talked about how many reps I've done or how much more I've lifted or how long I've been out on my bike for.

I like a man that doesn't dress like a teenager (my ex still dresses like he did 20 years ago), nice pair of jeans and some nice boots/not gym trainer trainers. Shoes are important.

Calmness. Probably because I'm a stresshead but men who have self control and don't get angry.

Smell
slim build
not a caner
into self care
can be 100% myself with them
own their shit

Ohmygaaawd... near the end of the film - when she sees Clint Eastwood in town & her hand is on the door handle of her husband's car

Men who are good at their job, doesn't matter what the job is. Something about a man who knows what he is doing.

@Stayingstrongish Megan Markle might be one example.

A dad bod and twinkly eyes. Kryptonite to me.

I very much like a straight nose, firm thighs and the ability to parallel park. My husband thinks the parking thing is ridiculous but I get flustered every time he parallel parks really well.

Big hands with dark hair on them. Sometimes I watch DP's hands when he's driving, or doing something capable, and I come over all hot and bothered. He finds it hilarious.

Long long legs in motorbike leathers. Especially with rock hard thighs 😁

I'm into women so I will say one of the things that I find super sexy - woman driving a car. I don't know why - maybe it's a power thing, but I find it very hot.
Also - women wearing reading glasses - yes, that specific 😄

Rolled up sleeves.

Read that as bum smell. Fail
