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?

Yes, yes, yes

The reading glasses - one partner if we were discussing something and she had the reading glasses on and disagreed with me used to stare over the top of them like I was a naughty schoolboy

Usually made me want to bang her there and then

The sleeve thing. So simple.
For me it’s manners, kindness and a twinkle in the eye. Height is important to me so 6ft+ . I’m not into stocky or overly muscly so tall and slim but fit. More tennis player than rugby iyswim.

@Flyinggeesei234 oh yes! She does have enviable freckles

"cleverness

short hair

no beard

good suit

forearms

shirt sleeves rolled up to below the elbow

crisp shirt

city type standing in that wide apart legs pose, hands in pockets, at the bar, his back to me…

a direct gaze

posh accent

blue eyes"

Yep, agree with all of the above!

Isn’t olive skin Mediterranean? I may well be wrong.

What????

Sense of humour
Good at DIY/mechanics
Taller and wider than me
Loves children & animals
Can dance and doesnt mind grabbing me to boogie with him when a banging tune comes on and we're in the middle of making dinner/doing the dishes/housework/at a party etc

Forearms

@Mother87 how she stayed in that car I don't know!!

😅

Omg I thought I was the only one with the forearm obsession! Pleased to see it a thing!

Good teeth, quiet confidence and sense of humour

Someone who is capable and good at manly stuff, like fixing things.
A lovely smile and twinkle in his eyes.
Glasses
Someone who is a bit cleverer than me, but not in an arrogant way.
Solid enough build that I feel safe in his arms. Tall and skinny does nothing for me.

Oh and good teeth
I have a thing for Peter Gabriels and Ricky Gervais' gnashers 🤣

I know, I know. I’m a tit. I’m normally attracted to men with a nice bum, more in the scruffy side that smell like hard work. Fav smell in the world is two stroke

@Boudica66 Really?

Yup

Fair enough, just wouldn’t have called those good teeth!

I adore the way my DF speaks . He has a really posh accent and he's really old school and it completely melts me.
His eyes amd the way they look into mine
It's the small things
It's the cup of tea he brings me when I occasionally get a lie in
The way he puts his hand into the small of my back when we're out and walking to a table
The way he respects and loves his mother
I could go on but you might feel sick !

Oh I would! Very attractive and not fake like so many.

So I've been to the barbers, the hair on the back of my head is looking top notch, my nails are trimmed and my shirt sleeves are rolled up to just below my elbow 😂

I do find it funny what females find attractive in a man. I don't say that to take the Mickey either . It's genuinely interesting and amusing at the same time, how males/females are wired up slightly differently

So many things about my DP
Sense of humour, he is so cheeky and quick witted. The bluest of eyes, they're kind eyes and sexy all at the same time. He has the most infectious laugh. His sense of adventure and yet he's grounded. Everyone loves him and rightly so. The softest skin I've ever touched. His forearms and hands are distracting quite honestly. I just find myself looking at him all the time. I could go on and on and this list would be very long. He thinks he's the lucky one which still blows my mind

Are tour shirdt sleeves tight? 🙃🤣

Doesn't have to have all these but some at least. Height, at least 6ft, good stance (shoulders back etc) and a confident but quiet charisma as well as a good flirt with a cheeky edge. These are a must!

Good forearms, good eyes and nice smile. If I got to choose it would be dark hair and eyes

Nice laugh, calm, gentle and quietly confident, intelligence, open minded willingness to learn from others and challenge their own beliefs but also challenge others when necessary. Good work ethic, manners and a deep voice without a strong accent but not posh either. Care about their appearance, smell good but are also practical.

I like the look of a lot of men, I love a good flirt. I've been married forever and can't imagine being with anyone other than dh.

Don't say bum and smell!!! That does't sound right!!!
