Lol my dh is addicted to bargain hunt!!

NuffSaidSam · 22/07/2023 23:45

I like my own space (a lot) and don't really care for romantic gestures so looking for someone busy with their own life, preferably works away during the week and who isn't romantic.

I'd have no problem with Homes under the Hammer as long as they didn't want me to watch it or talk about it.

StEtienne93 · 23/07/2023 00:34

Someone who doesn't want to sleep in the same bed as me. I love sleeping alone!

HotSince82 · 23/07/2023 00:40

Not more than an inch or two taller than me but preferably the same height and muscular.

Tall men don't do it for me at all.

JamSandle · 23/07/2023 00:42

Someone who loves spending time together but each doing our own thing.

SamW98 · 23/07/2023 00:56

Someone who doesn’t want to live together. Let’s sleep at each others when it suits but both have our own places to go back to

OneMoreCookieMonster · 23/07/2023 00:57

Someone who likes to read, history and all things geeky. I'm a secret geek.

Also someone who is fairly tradional. (Male vs female roles) At home I enjoy being the wife and mother but also like my freedom and want to work full time earn my own way but equally share everything. I found it with H but not sure others quite get it.

Glasses and someone who isn't big on gifts. I hate receiving presents. I do enjoy giving though.

A man who doesn’t do the housework 😆

OMG, yes! I mean, I don't want them to make a big mess, but I'm amazed at the number of women on MN who claim to find it a huge turn-on to find their DH doing the washing up or hoovering!

MotherofGorgons · 23/07/2023 02:28

I like nerdy, brainy men with glasses. I hate gym bois.

Same here!

Underminer · 23/07/2023 02:30

I am not generally attracted to thin men. I prefer rugby player bods.

Jewelanemone · 23/07/2023 02:50

Can't stand small/short men with small hands. Hate overly hairy blokes too. Urgh, hairy backs and knuckles! 🤮

I'm a very important to me that he has a short upper lip to nose ratio. I went against this once and then regretted it.

TRexTara · 23/07/2023 03:59

Sorry, it's very important to me.

MachinesOfGod · 23/07/2023 04:13

When my ex (who I’m now seeing again) puts his baseball cap on backward. Good grief, I’ve no idea why it has such an effect but it really does.

marshmallowfinder · 23/07/2023 04:14

I love a chubby, chunky bear of a man. 🥰

MachinesOfGod · 23/07/2023 04:15

Hugely turned off by short men with small hands, small feet, etc.

Also, very into men who understand the importance of just kissing and canoodling for the sake of it, not just as a short tick box exercise into sex. Being able to “make out” for an hour and just connect with each other in that way is magical.

GarlicGrace · 23/07/2023 04:20

I hate to admit that I'd like a male best friend - a decent all-rounder with his own place, who uses his brain and, for some inexplicable reason, isn't interested in romance & sex. Sort of a surrogate brother.

God, I'm in a sad state, aren't I 🤔

TRexTara · 23/07/2023 04:24

Also I need a decent sized dick 🤷🏼‍♀️ it's just not attractive to me if his penis is too small. I understand that some women don't cate, but I do.

TRexTara · 23/07/2023 04:25

The things that really do it for me physically are strong arms and thick thighs.

LucyGru · 23/07/2023 04:26

I don't understand the attraction of a 'bad boy'. Hugh Grant in Bridget Jones Diary made me cringe. Ugh. Colin Firth with his polite manners and knobbish jumpers every day.

You can have my STBXH if you like. He put it on series link on our sky box. 🙄

Because Hugh Grant was just troublesome, not a genuine bad boy. The other bloke looked like he would shag you sensless with his thick arms and thighs.
