I don't think it's that simple. Everyone is attracted to what or who they're attracted to. My boyfriend thinks the women in the magazines are too skinny. And after all the years we've been together, I'm pretty confident he's not just saying that. He's also not the only man I've heard say that.

On the other hand, there are men who really like super skinny.

Some men like large breasts, some small. Some like a nice leg, some a big rear end, some a small rear end.

There is no "most" in this question.

I also find that people fall in love with someone and then the things about the person they love become what is attractive in their eyes, even if they wouldn't have found those things attractive before, if that makes sense.

Well said

I agree. I really think it just depends on the person. But for me it's sense of humor first, looks next. i.e. NOSES. Like I've already said a thousand times in these kinds of threads. I love noses. But you have to have a good'ne.

I love a man with a great sense of humor, someone that can make me laugh, someone who is smart, witty romantic and a manly man. Someone who can fix things when needed and not call a repair man ! I dont want them too thin I like my men with some meat on them , Someone who looks super sexy dressed up but oh so manly dressed down ! someone who doesnt mind me watching football with them and at the same time doesnt mind watching a chick flick with me ! OH AND HE MUST wear cologne...OOOOOH how I love a man that smells good !

Bit of a random question but what does everyone find attractive/sexy? Men and women.

But I am curious as to what most men find attractive...? With the influence of mags, movies, porn, music vids, it is quite confusing to know what men really like?

So many diff things. I truly and honestly think there is somethign gorgeous & attractive about everyone. Be it the way the smile, tghere eyes, there laugh, etc. Beauty is in all of us.

Ed loves knitters, too :bigsmile:

I never did say what attracts me! lol

I don't really know, physically. If you look at the men I've dated, they all look very different. I like military men A.LOT. But not every guy I've been attracted to has been military or had the look, so ...

Definitely intelligence and a sense of humor are very important. And sometimes, you just have chemistry with someone. You meet that person and you just can't get enough of each other. I like a sense of adventure and a willingness to try new things at least once before deciding you don't like it.

And, as others have said, MANLY men are most attractive to me. I can't see myself ever even going on a single date with a metrosexual. If you're a guy and you ever wear pink or lavendar, don't even bother. :-)

Confidence, nice smile, wicked soh, knowing his own mind (can't stand it if someone just agree's with everythin you say just to please you), compassion.....obviously you have to have chemistry but although you've gotta be attracted, im not so sure chemistry is anything to do with looks xx

This is awesome! ! ! You are truly a great man :-)

First thing I notice is always the jaw line.... if they don't have a really strong jaw line then I'm not really attracted.
I like the whole 50s movie star look.

Also if they're wearing a nice shirt to a club rather than a crappy tshirt and jeans they get extra brownie points.

Trixtabella

Someone who is funny, can hold a decent conversation and has a nice smile and eyes.

I quite like to be put in my place too lol so someone who doesn't sugar coat things is always a bonus.

Lol, and sometimes what they find attractive doesn't matter in the long run. My fiance likes short girls and he likes them SUPER skinny. I am 5'9" (taller than him) and will never be super skinny.

I agreee with the last bit

FJMilner

a pulse!! haha

BrianTheNegotiator

Anything can be attractive to someone who likes it. To me, the most attractive thing is confidence (not arrogance, confidence) and personality in general. A few pounds + confidence > hot but insecure or rude. Friendly + a few pounds > smoking hot but *****y. And I think most guys prefer a 'regular' woman over the stick figures they try to sell you in magazines.

No kidding! The boyfriend really likes Jenna Elfman and (even more) Salma Hayek. One is ridiculously tall, lean and blond. The other is very dark and Latin.

I have curly, blondish red hair, am short and have an hourglass figure. I always tease him and ask what the heck he saw in me! lol

For me it depends on the guy.....different qualities attract me to different people....

What attracted me to my ex all those years ago was his eyes, smile and slight shyness, then his physique. He made me feel comfortable and safe with the way he spoke and lets just say I spent a weekend with him when I barely knew him....I would NOT normally do that for obvious reasons..Lets just say I let my parents know where I was even though I was an adult....there was just something there at the time that said go for it regardless of the fact I'd only known him a fortnight! I remember it was a great weekend! I spent the following 14/15 yrs with him until about a month ago when we separated.

Otherwise, It might be as simple as similar interests or maybe just his mannerisms..or just his sense of humour..it really depends on the guy....

Generally speaking, I find a guy attractive if they have nice eyes, smile, is a deep thinker / talker, is friendly, caring, honest and understands me, they work hard, have similar interests and can enjoy fun times & share my sense of humour. (which can be limited but only cos I'm blonde - takes me longer to get the punchline on occasions).......especially if they can turn me on with words alone....cos then I know the physical would be more than 100%! (in some cases, depends on the guy).

Otherwise, attractive could be purely down to how they look.....if they have all the above and the looks then definately! A guy who can surprise me (in a nice way) is great too.

I have found in the past I can be attracted to the bad boy look too (loads of piercings, tattoos, skin head etc.....like i say, it really depends on the guy - they're all different!! There was a guy once many years ago I found attractive, but certainly not for his looks - it was his kindness and personality and the way he danced at the time....he went off to a budhist summer camp and came back completely transformed - looked & acted totally different, a bit too straight laced in my opinion.....was totally turned off by the change...he wasn't the same guy I'd got on so well with and fancied a year earlier. Don't get me wrong, there were some changes for the better, just not the same guy I'd fancied previously.

There was another guy who I dated years and years ago who was about 6ft odd, shoulder length curly black hair, gentle looks and was great to talk to......but when the crunch came he wasn't my type....horribly smelly feet and his recreational habits that I found out about, were not on my list of OK.

One very bad mistake I made with a very close male friend was to say I'd fallen for him - got on brilliant - always ended up back at his house after a night out at the local club....(friendship nothing more)....after a year I found I'd fallen for him (his long dark curly hair, his friendship, the way he cared etc). We were so close as friends, we used to hold hands and he used to give me piggy back rides home whilst drunk)......the moment I mentioned I'd fallen for him it changed everything....he was really upset I'd ruined a perfectly great friendship....of which I lost with him....it upset him too much as he really enjoyed the fact he could be such close friends with a female and not have the physical. Shame - To this day, I regret the words that fell from my mouth that night...

Best stop reminiscing....I do think the older you get, the qualities that attract you to the opposite sex, change over time....to a degree....

Things i do NOT find attractive in men is arrogance, inflated ego's, players, possessiveness, domineerance, lies, manipulators, boozers (talking every day) and down right disrespect for women. ugh! Hate those with absolute loathing!

Anyways, drawn this out more than it needed to be - too much time reminiscing....oops!!

^Lmao, but sooo true.

I like different people for different reasons, I may lust after a man with tattoos & a bad boy attitude, but I'm more likely to fall in love with a silly, carefree, makes a fool out of himself because he'd rather do that than conform to the norm type of guy that makes me laugh & is just plain adorable. With a bit of a dirty naughty sexual side that makes raunchy comments at unexpected times that really get my hormones in gear if ya catch my drift

for a second i thought you were talking about me.. but since there is no comment about huge hairy man boobs... i decided it wasnt.... sad..

Well I just figured big hairy man boobs was a given. I mean duh! ;P

Mkleder

A pleasant smile and friendly personality.
Intelligence and strength,not being willing to be put down or held back.
Funny and loves to laugh.
A feminine figure with hips and curves.

There goes Carl, taking my breath away yet again!

CourteneyLove

physically - calves are what get me. there is just something about them i cannot resist! also, i am a tall lady - so tall men are attractive.

other than that, i like when a man is not afraid to make decisions. they need to be assertive and not always rely on me to do things for them. confidence is very attractive as well

Totally agree. I went on a date recently with a guy who wanted me to decide everything (he even wanted me to tell him what to order for dinner!). When I told him I felt like I was being bossy by having to tell him what to do (I was trying to be subtle), he said "I don't like making decisions."

I was too stunned to speak, but I was thinking "Excuse me? Do you need a minute to check and see if your balls are still there?"

It's depressing to know within the first five minutes of a date that you will not be seeing that guy again.

bigdawg025

I find a cute smile, lovely eyes, and confidence very attractive in a woman. I also am attracted to painted nails both on the fingers and the toes. Maybe it's weird, but hey... ask and you shall receive! LOL :happy:

_beachgirl_

A sense of humor!~

BethanieK

Intelligence, and wittiness are really important to holding my attention, I get bored easily. But the initial attraction usually starts with the way they carry themselves, smile (teeth), eyes, and forearms. A nice *kitten* helps!

liftingbro

If we are talking total package:

I like dark haired ladies with blue eyes. Large chest, smaller waist, bigger hips. About as tall as me or slightly shorter. I like some hips on ladies, it just looks like the way a woman should be built. Pretty smile is always good as well. I like sweethearted ladies who are not too girly to go fishing or do some guys stuff with me, but not so butch that you cannot tell they are female. I also find it very attractive if I think a woman is great with kids and parents because that says a lot about their character, like if a guy treats his mom well he'll treat his woman well. I also like a woman that's pretty sharp, it's hard to have a conversation with someone (male or female) if they are rubbing two brain cells together to stay breathing.

The above type of woman (a.k.a my wife) is my perfect woman.

keb80

Physically: bedroom eyes, tattoos, not too "muscle-y", nice teeth, and I'm a sucker for dimples.

Also, a good sense of humor and someone who can handle all my moodiness.

BAMA66

Pretty smile, eyes and a good personality.

Sh1tsRainbows

honesty, not lazy, not arrogant, and makes me feel beautiful and appreciated.

meg_sue

Men who are not afraid of nor ashamed of their masculinity. There are too many girly men in the world today, so when a guy is just unapologetically male, that's very attractive to me.

I agree all day long! My husband is a man's man. He is smart, tough as nails, and actually is a man of his word. He is my unicorn, I never thought I would find one like him. His masculinity, bald head, and goatee is what caught my attention when we first met. Then after getting to know him I was completely lost. Life is good!
